#28 "Saturday Night"

Second choice in a row from Spirit after two in a row from I Am. I didn't set it up that way, I promise. Spirit is a bit of a "lost" album because of what sandwiches it, but it's every bit as good as the others.

In any case, this is one of EWF's many (many) "message jams". You don't have to listen to the lyrics to enjoy it, though, as the track has so many hooks. Outstanding BBQ music.

My guess

 

[zamboni]

The Beach Boys

zamboni

"Time to Get Alone" Time To Get Alone - Remastered 2001 The Beach Boys · 20/20 (Remastered) · Song · 1969 open.spotify.com

A waltz-y tune off their underrated 1969 album 20/20. At this stage, Brian was largely back in the picture after his post-Pet Sounds breakdown/absence and wrote this initially for a band called Redwood, which subsequently evolved into Three Dog Night (they'll come up again later in the countdown). Ultimately, he kept it for the BB, with Carl at his top-notch best on lead vocals, accompanied by the typical hallmark harmonies and Brian's complex multi-layered arrangement.

 

[Yo Mama]

STP #28 - All in the Suit That You Wear
Album - none (included in greatest hits Thank You)

This song was written to be included in the 2002 Spider-Man movie (a rare instance of the band licensing a song), but when the band found out it wasn’t going to be the title track they said thanks/no thanks and pulled the song from the soundtrack.

This was their last released single before they broke up, but it got some moderate air play and did fairly well on the charts (but nowhere near their hits).

 

[krista4]

I will highlight these with a Not on Spotify Playlist intro for those that just use the playlist link so you don’t miss them.

Really appreciate this. I haven't had time to go back and see if others were not on the playlist and I missed them, so it's great for you to do this!

This is the one I heard on the radio a week or two ago! Yay!

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Songs I already know and like from the #28s include the Roxy Music original AND the Roxy Music cover, The Judas Priest cover of Joan Baez (I took the original in my 1975 countdown and I think the cover showed up in the covers countdown) and of course the Mayfield, Doors and EWF songs. I always found it interesting that Soul Kitchen is what ends the Absolutely Live album (presumably due to the opening line "Well the clock says it's time to close, now"), not Light My Fire or one of their other really long songs.

Thoughts about some others:

The Blue October has a great chorus but is otherwise hard to get through for the reasons stated in the writeup.

The Sweet song is a banger.

The Moody Blues track is a graceful, ethereal gem that should have been released in the '60s when it was recorded. The antiwar interpretation makes sense to me.

The STP song is also a banger.

I know of So Damn Lucky but I'm not sure I'd heard it before. I like the guitar patterns here, and the sitar-ish sounds and strings work well too.

I like the freaky guitars on the Mazzy Star song.

Time to Get Alone is more late-60s brilliance from Brian Wilson, with less ADHD this time. As expected, the harmonies are wonderful.

Underneath the Stars has a bit of a Cortez the Killer vibe in its guitars. I know lots of bands have at least one song that does this (including a Strand of Oaks song that I hope to see later), but I wasn't expecting The Cure to be one of them.

The electronics don't obscure that Biting Your Tail is a strong song.

Fading Lady is gorgeous, and is an example of the late-'60s shift from folk rock to country rock.

It Just Doesn't Happen is very '80s while still being very much Dan Bejar.

While that song has some of U2's sonic textures, Andrew Bird's Fake Palindromes has some of U2's song structures.

On this Shellac song, the drums are what stood out for me. They pretty much carry the song, and not just in the middle part where the guitars are silent at times.

Now we know what Dio singing a Beatles song would sound like.

I had to go to Wikipedia to figure out what was going on with the vocals on Slow Poke. The tape of Myles Goodwin's vocal was slowed down, so it doesn't sound like him but it is. The song is an excellent example of mid-70s boogie rock, with irresistable guitar lines and melodies. And cowbell!

With the Slambovians, we again get more Doors sounds on the playlist beyond the actual Doors selection. The segue into Billie Jean makes way more sense than I thought it would.

 

[falguy]

And cowbell!

More to come later as well.

Thanks for digging up who the heck was singing because I didn't know and was too lazy to check for myself.

Blue October

We continue our tour through Justin’s dark days with the title track from their sixth album, about Justin Furstenfeld's divorce and custody battle over his daughter.
The artwork on the album cover is a drawing of Justin Furstenfeld drawn by Tim Palmer's daughter Bluebell, who was three years old at the time.
Thankfully I’ve never dealt with custody battles personally but I’ve seen multiple friends and soldiers deal with it, no doubt it sucks. This song puts their feelings into a catchy tune.

Justin would later say listening to this album is like watching a documentary of himself dying.
It’s one of those albums that I look at and I’m like “wow man, like seriously?” I can’t listen to that album.

‘There’s two songs that I can listen to and that’s The Feel Again and The Worry List and the rest of them just sound like this angry, angry bitter man who got his heart broken and his kid taken away and is just losing his f*cking mind.

‘It’s like watching a documentary of when you die. I can’t watch it, I just can’t! It brings me back to when I was using and when I was drinking and when I was a narcissist.’
Justin admitted to regretting writing the songs, and wished that he could take back some of the lyrics in it.

If I had to guess which song was entitled **** This ****, it would have been this one

#28 - Gun

CHVRCHES - Gun

Gun out now, buy from http://po.st/GuniTunes. The debut album The Bones Of What You Believe is out now. Buy Standard: http://po.st/TBOWYBSpecial: http://po.s...

m.youtube.com

Producer - Iain Cook/Chvrches
Writer - Chvrches
Album - The Bones of What You Believe
Year - 2014
Notes - Gun was the third single from the debut album. We have already seen the first one. It’s a good song, but I am tired of it. Could be much higher, but not when I compiled the list.

Ian Cohen of Pitchfork called the song "brilliantly major-key without being cloying, extroverted without coming on too strong, synthetic but not stiff and metaphoric without being impressed with its own cleverness."

Robin Murray of Clash described the song as "compact, effortlessly catchy and stylish as hell ... as usual, though, there's a dark side with Lauren Mayberry intoning the lyrics." Robert Leedham of Drowned in Sound interpreted the lyrics as "an intention to emotionally dismember a former beau," writing: "it is far too catchy to be taken as a terror-inducing threat; its fizzing splendour will slay your ears."

Next Up - Another cover of a well known song by a modern day superstar. Really well done.

Producer - Phil Wainman
Writer - The Sweet
Chart Positions - B Side to Co-Co which reached UK#2, US #99, West Germany #1 and Australia #45
Album - Funny How Sweet Co-Co Can Be
Year - 1971
Lead Vocal - Brian Connolly
Steve Priest Vocal - Backing only
Notes - The A Side, Co-Co, which despite being a hit was bubblegum reggae nonsense written by Chinny/Chap and the band only did vocals on it, which is why I excluded it from the list. The early B Sides were incredibly interesting up to this point and this one represents them well.
Surviving member, guitarist Andy Scott says that this song directly influenced Tie Your Mother Down by Queen and the vocal styles of both bands was similar. Not sure what anyone else thinks though.

Next Up - Next Up we go right back to the early days with a track that got them the attention of Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, for better or for worse. At least they play their own instruments on this one.

Be not afraid. Mr Setzer gets around musically.

#28 is a Stray Cats tune and not a cover. He wrote it, and it appeared on the album Rant n' Rave With The Stray Cats.

29.ee - Strand of Oaks - Easter (2021)

The first three songs in my countdown have all been outliers: a very early song, a demo and a cover. Here's where we get into the meat of Tim's catalog with a song that has the anthemic Indie/Classic Rock Strand of Oaks sound that has garnered him 671 followers on Pandora. Sorry if you don't like this one because you probably won't like a lot of the songs to come.

It's a song from his 2021 album In Heaven. It was the first one he release after relocating from Philadelphia to Austin. Although the record came out of a period of grief, this song is joyful and upbeat. It references his family's move and his love for his wife Sue. The title comes from the line "she's my Easter" which he says is "the greatest description for my wife. I’m not religious, but there’s no other way to describe the love I have for her. Like, she’s a resurrecting force, she has a way to save me constantly – save me from darkness, save me from loneliness, save me from my own self. And this was a song where I’m trying my best to save her."

OMG, the story of how April Wine got signed is SO Canadian:

[April Wine] realized that Halifax did not provide opportunities to play and record, so they sent a demo tape to Aquarius Records in Montreal. Aquarius managers Terry Flood and Donald K. Tarlton returned a rejection letter but the band mistook it for an invitation. On April 1, 1970, April Wine went to Montreal, bringing with them their instruments and $100 in cash; Flood and Tarlton were persuaded to sign the band to a contract.[6] They were set up in a chalet and booked at a local comedy club, Café Andre. They spent the next five months touring eastern Canada with Mashmakhan.[7]

"We sent you a rejection letter, but since you showed up anyway, we're too polite to reject you in person, so sure, here's a record contract."

Okay, for the #28s, I’m changing tactics a little. Just one main category, shuffle adventures when appropriate, and then sometimes a special third. Long story short, I felt like I was forcing “Known” and shafting some new songs because of it. A project will be to go through how well I (expect to) know each artist, and impressions so far. Eventually. Maybe.

Selected (and Shuffled) #28s
Soul Kitchen - The Doors
Fading Lady - Jerry Jeff Walker
Slowpoke - April Wine
Easter- Strand of Oaks
Rose Blood - Mazzy Star
Biting Your Tail - Iron & Wine
Fake Palindromes - Andrew Bird
It’s All Right - The Impressions (/Curtis Mayfield)
Gun - Chvrches
It Just Doesn’t Happen - Destroyer

Shuffle Adventures:
Shuffle treated me well, hitting very good songs from Fanny, The Beach Boys and The Moody Blues in short order.

I listened to the #29 playlist.

Besides my own song, I already knew I liked this song:

• Doors - Love Her Madly

Of the songs previously unknown to me, I liked these the best:

• The Tea Party - Midsummer Day
  • 3 for 3 for me so far
• The Slambovian Circus of Dreams.- Beez (I Know Where the Beez Have Gone)
• Strand of Oaks - Bug

Not quite as good as the first two playlists for my taste. Still enjoyed it!

28. Ill porno star --- Shellac
Album: At Action Park​

This one perfectly articulates how Shellac live up to their moniker of “minimalist rock trio”. A tiny little Horatio Alger vignette of the immigrant experience, but instead of being about a plucky, determined early 20th century pizzaiolo, it is well-hung dude with “a c*ck like a stallion and an iron will” the song has like 10 words worth of lyrics and a lot of noise. The psychosexual inheritor of Cheap Trick’s raunchiness. Mint jam.

 

[MAC_32]

I intentionally slotted this song to roll out about now. Amidst a 4 day bachelor party and am writing this after a 3 hour nap en route to a certain type of club in a solo uber. What...I wasn't ready 90 mins ago when the rest went! Some people can't drink 9 am - midnight anymore Anyway, Jimmy Buffet did Why Don't We Get Drunk & Screw. Kenny Chesney did Got A Little Crazy Last Night

Last thing I remember
I told the bartender
it's rum and whatever you have
First one drink, then 2, then I woke up with you, so I know things can't be all that bad
But it's still a little hazy, got a little crazy last night

What's funny is this song would have resonated with me so much more when it was released (2007) vs a few years ago when it finally entered my head. I wouldn't say this accurately described every one of 24 year old MAC's nights, but more of them than middle aged MAC cares to admit. I'll try to make it through tomorrow without a nap, but will be sure this is on tomorrow's golf play list cause whenever this hits I Go Back...

 

[simey]

Some starting thoughts on the 28s...

- Someone has a potty mouth on "Any Man in America." This song is really . Ya know?
- Continuing the spirited language," This " reminds me of a sweet scene taking place on Walton's Mountain. Erin is feeling down and kicking a rock down the gravel road, and then John Boy finds her and gives her some words of wisdom, and they hold hands walking home for some buttermilk biscuits that grandma made.
- "What Am I Doing Here?" is a nice early Moodies song, and I like those vocals. I also like the outro music.
- When I first glanced at the song "Rose Blood" on my phone, I read it as Nose Bleed. I go to the eye Dr Wednesday. This song gives me a late night feel. I like it.
- Ray Manzarek's organ/keyboards were such a huge part of The Doors sound. It stands out on "Soul Kitchen."
- I like the music in "The Majestic Song."
- I like the vocals of Destroyer on "It Just Doesn't Happen," and I also like the pace of the song. It's toe tappin' good.
- Mr. Dio gets in touch with his inner flower power self, and lets us know that "Love is All."
- I like Andrew Bird's vocals and lyrics in "Fake Palindromes."
- "Rockin (All Nite Long)" is dynamite.
- "Rebels Rule" has a hand jive vibe to it. I can see Sandy and Danny dancing to it in the gym at Rydell High.
- "ll Porno Star" =
- Gettin' funky on a Friday Night with "Saturday Night."

 

[kupcho1]

I think I'd have had Fake Palindromes by Andrew Bird a lot higher. Such a great tune. Easily top 3 for me.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Easily my favorite playlist. Almost all the songs were favorites from the artists, if not my 2nd favorite. I am going to focus my babbling on artists I feel I haven't talked about much yet.

Opening 4 songs rocked my balls. Thanks for posting the info about the song, @-OZ- . I was a bit on the first listened, but appreciated it more on a more informed listen. I've liked most of the songs on the playlist so far, but it's still driving me crazy who the voice on the first couple songs reminds me of. The Fanny song is probably my favorite of the playlist. Just great 70s rock with a whiff of Deep Purple. The Majestic Song really put the Zeppelin influence front and center and I loved it. Love the opener, but Done Me Wrong All Right was better to my ears. I liked original better than the BBC version on the playlist, so I am glad I listened to that as well. I felt bad for the playlist when my song came up.

Rebels Rule lived up to the honors of being the title of the playlist. This is a playlist I've been really liking but a bit quite about. Not 100% my wheelhouse, but I am digging the songs and really appreciating the musicianship.

Speaking of my music ignorance, I had 0 clue about Mayfield and The Impressions. I was familiar with this great song, but not who it was by. I'm even more intrigued by this playlist now.

Rose Blood is one of those great songs that feel to me both happy and sad, haunting and beautiful. I love how her voice sounds on this track. I get visions of my favorite TV show when I listen to this track.

Break Away from the 31s and Time to Get Alone here are really smashing my uneducated biases I had with The Beach Boys.

I look forward to the MAD31 comparison on More Than This. As it is, I like another cover in this countdown, but just like the other I had 0 association with the song to begin with. I dug this one and also really liked your selections for the 29s and 30s. Looking forward to some Bangles unknown-to-mes too.

One of the biggest surprises on the playlist was Biting Your Tail. He definitely didn't play anything that sounded like this at our show.

Fading Lady is just gorgeous. My thoughts are similar to my thoughts on the Setzer playlist. Already a few styles, and some aren't 100% in my wheelhouse, but loving the musicianship and digging the songs. While listening I texted my mom about Stoney, and it was actually named after a song. Not by JJW, but by Lobo.

Between the write up and giving them a dedicated headphones listen, I feel like I am hearing even familiar songs from The Doors for the first time. Soul Kitchen wasn't one that stood out for me as one I knew. Did I read that correctly that Ray is doing both the tasty bass and the higher keys? One of my favorite thing about your write up was describing their personalities and how they meshed.

Il Porno Star started giving me a little bit of a flashback from the opener, but then it shifted and the ****in' drums kicked in. Great tune, and probably just because I had been listening to them recently this tune reminded me of Helmet.

Great playlist, all!!
