31. Hideaway

I was looking forward to your Chicago dive, and songs like this are why. It's great.

My familiarity with Chicago are the hits, and I much favor the 70's sound over the 80's ballads. The last year or two I've seen some youtube concert stuff of lesser known songs and I came away really impressed. I like a band with a lot of "stuff" going on, and they definitely fit the bill.
They definitely had a lot of stuff going on. Some of their '70s albums should be in the "radio plays almost every track" category with the best Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, etc. albums, but the industry and the music press pigeonholed them as a singles band, so it didn't work out that way.

Hideaway and the other non-single from Chicago VIII that made my list REALLY should have been picked up by FM radio, but I guess they weren't.
 
Unfortunately I won't be able t listen at work today so will save it for the hot tub tonight under the stars. There should be a nice haze due to the smoke from the wildfires encompassing most of Canada it seems. (or maybe it'll be from my new neighbour. 🚬 )
It's ridiculous. I've been running in the mornings but I'm afraid to right now with the ****ty air quality.
In NJ we've been advised not to do strenuous exercise outside. My son's homeschool co-op was cancelled for today, as some families have people with health issues that could be exacerbated by the conditions.

Apparently this morning you couldn't see the Philly skyscrapers from the Ben Franklin Bridge, which takes you from NJ into Center City, where most of them are.
 
The Decemberists
#31 Ben Franklin's Song


As previously mentioned, this is not my 31st favorite track. I put it here so as to have a banging lead off song that also gives a pretty good read on the band as a whole.
That is of course with one massive exception: they didn't write the lyrics. Lin Manuel Miranda did.

I included YouTube links for all 31 songs but there are only 2 that I'd insist you watch. This is the first. (I'll be honest, gotta little chill when he joins them on stage.)
And here are the lyrics if you want to follow along.

Electricity
Yeah, you can all thank me
Took some lightning, a kite, and a fat brass key
And they're putting up streetlights in Gay Paris
You're welcome from our young nation

I'm the only American the French wanna see
They call me a genius, I can't disagree
They have guns, they have funds
They can set us free
Invest in my reputation

And do you know who the **** I am?
Yeah, do you know who the **** I am?
Do you know who the **** I am?
I am Poor-Richard's-Almanack-writing Benjamin ****in' Franklin

I said, early to bed, bitches, early to rise
They make a man healthy, wealthy, and wise
Soldiers are fighting for freedom, they have no supplies
So diplomacy happens at night

John Adams debates at the gates of Versailles
He whines and parades and awaits a reply
As I stay up late with a succulent breast or a thigh
Alright, diplomacy happens at night

And do you know who the **** I am?
Yeah, do you know who the **** I am?
Do you know who the **** I am?
I am 76-and-I'll-Still-Kick-Your-*** ****in' Franklin

One pain that lingers, the hitch in my stride
Is my son back at home who I could not guide
Who sits all alone in a prison cell on the wrong side
Stands against our young nation

So I play my ambassador part with pride
I am known in the world, and the world is wide
To my children, my sins may be magnified, but I'd
Do it all again, no hesitation

And do you know who the **** I am?
Yeah, do you know who the **** I am?
Do you know who the **** I am?
I am Poor-Richard's-Almanack-writing Benjamin ****in' Franklin

Who the **** I am?
(Do you know who the **** I am?) Who the **** I am?
(Do you know who the **** I am?)
I am Poor-Richard's-Almanack-writing
Polymath, bifocal-wearing
Hardened glass-harmonica-playing
Benjamin ****in' Franklin
 
#31 - Sigur Ros - Sæglópur

I'm starting my list off with a couple of more accessible songs that encapsulate Sigur Ros' many styles.

The first is Sæglópur, translated as "Lost Seafarer". This is off their Album "Takk". If it sounds familiar to you, it was featured during the opening of the Aquaman movie among other film/TV uses. This was on my list at around 15 or so until I pulled it to play first for reasons mentioned above.

The album this song is featured on has two distinct halves: a happier, joyful and uplifting first half, and a darker, sombre second half. This song does a great job of bridging both halves
My favorite part of the song is when the full orchestration kicks in at about 1:50 and then again at 4:40 when the orchestration slowly fades and we clearly enter the sombre half of the album.

I'll probably seldom comment on the huge acts (Springsteen, Wonder, Elton, Queen, et. al.) since I know and love all the songs, outside of maybe a few I particularly love or have an experience with but I do listen to them on the playlist to get the overall feel of this project.

Spoon is a band I've liked most songs I've heard but haven't really dove into yet. The song this round was no exception - loved it - so definitely looking forward to their stuff here.

PhishshukeThe Lizards

This is one of the handful of songs that I included a live version for since there is no official studio release. I could have swapped another 20 songs in this spot but felt this song was important in the realm of Phish lore.

I'll use another source to provide explanation:

"The Lizards" is the linchpin of the Gamehendge saga. Nearly every disparate element of The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday was made to cohere into a single, multifaceted narrative in “Lizards.” When Trey finally began to write and re-work songs into a storytelling cycle in 1987, he already had four narrative elements waiting to be used – Tom Marshall’s poem “McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters,” Tom and Aaron Woolf’s joke song “Wilson, Can You Still Have Fun?” and Trey’s and Jeff Holdsworth’s own compositions for Phish, “AC/DC Bag” and “Possum,” respectively.

For his senior study at Goddard College, Trey constructed a musical that would cover diverse compositional ground over its continuous narrative. Sensing the potential of these four elements for an epic tale, Trey began to work on the story, extrapolating characters, ideas, and situations from the existing lyrics, trying to fit them into a cohesive storyline. The first fruit reaped from this harvest was “The Lizards.”

“The Lizards” contains a lengthy narrative that describes Colonel Forbin’s entrance into the land of Gamehendge and his encounter with Rutherford the Brave, a knight errant. Rutherford explains the sad history of the Lizards and their subjugation by the evil King Wilson, who keeps them in check by preventing them from gaining access to the Helping Friendly Book, the sacred tome of Icculus, their god. In a state of overzealous fervor while engaging the Colonel’s promise to help, Rutherford jumps into a river and sinks, forgetting that he was encased in metal armor. As the story goes, Tela and the Unit-Monster show up just in time to save Rutherford from the watery peril, and Colonel Forbin is thus introduced to the land and inhabitants of Gamehendge.

Every Phish fan's dream is to be at the show where they play The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday in full, but I'm pretty sure it's never happened yet.

Songs from The Man Who Stepped into Yesterday

  1. The Man Who Stepped into Yesterday (The introduction features the story's main theme music as the narrator describes the lonely life of Colonel Forbin and what happens when he begins to see an image of a strange door on a daily basis)
  2. The Lizards (Colonel Forbin, while on a walk with his "fleet hound called McGrupp", decides to finally walk through the door, thus entering the land of Gamehendge. The song features Colonel Forbin hearing tales about the saga of the Lizards, Wilson, and the Helping Friendly Book as told by native Rutherford the Brave)
  3. Tela (Colonel Forbin joins Rutherford and other allies, one of whom is the beautiful Tela. The song reveals Colonel Forbin's deep feelings for Tela)
  4. Wilson (a song introducing the evil king Wilson, who captured the Helping Friendly Book from the Lizards and declared himself ruler of Gamehendge)
  5. AC/DC Bag (tells the story of the execution of Mr. Palmer, Wilson's accountant. Palmer was using Wilson's money to secretly fund the revolution, and was therefore hanged in the town square by the AC/DC Bag, a mechanical hangman)
  6. Colonel Forbin's Ascent (details Colonel Forbin's journey to the top of a giant mountain to ask for the help of Icculus, the Supreme God of the Sky, in regaining the Helping Friendly Book, which Icculus wrote, from Wilson)
  7. Fly Famous Mockingbird (Icculus sends his friend, the Famous Mockingbird, to retrieve the Helping Friendly Book from Wilson's Castle)
  8. The Sloth (once the book is recovered, the Sloth is hired by the allies to murder Wilson)
  9. Possum (a non-Gamehendge song written by original Phish guitarist Jeff Holdsworth and later entered into the story by Anastasio with altered lyrics to fit the Gamehendge theme. It offers a strange moral: Icculus considers all that's happened in Gamehendge, offers a slogan to consider ("ain't no truth in action unless you believe it anyway") and describes the roadside demise of a possum. Aside from "Col. Forbin's Ascent," this is Icculus's only direct speech in the Gamehendge saga.)
Other Gamehendge songs
  1. Divided Sky (a chant performed by the Lizards as they stand on the edge of a rhombus and shout to the sky, praising Icculus)
  2. Llama (a tale from the later years of Wilson's reign in Gamehendge during a violent war)
  3. McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters (the story of a shepherd who lives in Gamehendge, whose flock is watched over by Colonel Forbin's dog, McGrupp. This was originally a poem that inspired the Gamehendge saga, then grafted onto the music from a song that Trey wrote with his mother entitled Skippy The Wondermouse which was performed live until 1985.)
  4. Punch You in the Eye (tells the story of a traveller who passes through Gamehendge during Wilson's reign and his subsequent escape from Wilson's jail)
  5. Icculus (introduces Icculus, the Supreme God of the Sky and author of the Helping Friendly Book, a text which is revered by the Lizards)
  6. Harpua (tells the story of a mean bulldog who sometimes lives in Gamehendge, however not all Harpua narration sequences include Gamehendge)
  7. Axilla (a tale of monsters, witches, and battles in old time Gamehendge)
  8. Axilla, Part 2 (told years later during peacetime in Gamehendge as the narrator reflects on the land's past turmoil)
  9. Kung (a chant that one must perform in order to enter the land of Gamehendge)
  10. Esther and Reba have also been mentioned as possible Gamehendge characters, especially Esther who Trey Anastasio has said hails from a part of Gamehendge. The "flying jam" in Esther also appears as the interlude between several of the TMWSIY songs lending said songs a thematic, musical link.
 
#31 - The Tragically Hip - My Music at Work

I kind of back loaded the back of my list with some of the big dumb rock hits by The Hip. Don't get me wrong, they're great songs but my favourites by them are the more slow build or quiet loud type songs.

This song was a #2 hit on the Canada Rock Charts and #1 on the MuchMusic Countdown.

I'm going to try to post some live versions of these songs, since Gord Downie's showmanship and ad-libbing is so much of the Hip - Here's a performance from 2009

Here's a cover it by the band that in many ways has been their successor as the big Canadian rock band that no one cares about beyond Buffalo - Arkells from the 2016 WayHome Festival (I'm in that crowd somewhere).
 
I'm going to try to post a live Youtube version for most of my picks, with some super-specific reasons why I love these songs.

While The Lizards is typically in the 10-12 minute range, there really isn't a jam. It's all composed.

Live at Clifford Ball

0:30 - 5:00 the story
5:00 - 7:30 love Page's work on the keyboards here
7:50 - end includes a nice mellow work to crescendo led by Trey's guitar.
9:10 - 10:30 favorite part of the song, invokes nostalgia and an emotional response from me.
 
About halfway through. Don't dislike anything I've heard. These are the highlights so far:

Jorge Ben Jor - I dig this song a lot, but I immediately sent this to my wife as this is 100% in her wheelhouse.
Modest Mouse - I know their hits but that's all. This was a good tune.
The Decemberists - Yeah, this was catchy as hell. Will probably be singing that chorus all day.
Big Thief - Getting a bit of a Walkmen vibe, which is fantastic. They were on my honorable mention list of artists to choose for this. Excited to hear more.
Chicago - Great tune I'd never heard before.
Slade - Ditto.
 
Unfortunately I won't be able t listen at work today so will save it for the hot tub tonight under the stars. There should be a nice haze due to the smoke from the wildfires encompassing most of Canada it seems. (or maybe it'll be from my new neighbour. 🚬 )
It's ridiculous. I've been running in the mornings but I'm afraid to right now with the ****ty air quality.
In NJ we've been advised not to do strenuous exercise outside. My son's homeschool co-op was cancelled for today, as some families have people with health issues that could be exacerbated by the conditions.

Apparently this morning you couldn't see the Philly skyscrapers from the Ben Franklin Bridge, which takes you from NJ into Center City, where most of them are.
Wow that's bad! Supposedly Detroit currently has the 2nd worst air quality in the world behind somewhere in India.
About halfway through the playlist, will comment later when I'm all the way through.
 
I'm about 1/2 way through the playlist as well. I'm weird, so I've been purposely not reading much about people's bands, etc. so I am as fresh and as much of a clean slate as possible. I also did my normal thing of pressing play and not looking at what is coming up so I don't have opinions formed and it's fun to see if I know the artist on sound or not. Good stuff so far, and looking forward to the rest tonight.

:shock: I was in India for a couple weeks in college and the air quality (or lack thereof) was shocking. We ended the trip in New Delhi and it was the worst there. I remember having a terrible sinus infection for the flight home which felt amazing at high altitude.
 
Not sure how long I'll keep up with specific song posts - mainly just trying to lure my fellow Unified Scenester @Northern Voice into some commentary.

The Hold Steady “Realistic” Dream Setlist Song 1: Hornets! Hornets!

She says always remember never to trust me
She said that the first night that she met me
She said there's gonna come a time when I'm gonna have to go
With whoever's gonna get me the highest


Album: Separation Sunday (entry 1 of 5)

Year: 2005

# of Times Seen Live: 12 of 37 shows

My Story: Hornets! Hornets! was the first THS song I ever heard. I guess I wasn’t cool enough to buy their first record when it was released in 2004, but a great review of Separation Sunday in Pitchfork sent me running to the store for the follow-up. I was home on paternity leave at the time while my wife went back to work and was devouring music while changing diapers and praying for nap time. The spoken-word opening lyrics to the album’s first track (quoted above) hooked me from the outset and set a perfect tone for what is still my favorite record by my favorite band.

Live Notes: Half of the times I’ve heard Hornets live, it either kicked off the show or was the first song of the encore. Seemed an obvious choice to lead off my setlist.

Dumb Personal Anecdote: The Hornets are the mascot for singer Craig Finn’s high school, which I only learned after hearing him talk about it at a show (hence the line, “I almost died up by Edina High.”) Years back, I was on a boat trip to Stingray City in Grand Cayman and chatting with a mom sitting next to me who volunteered that she was from Minneapolis, specifically Edina. I said “Oh yeah, the Hornets.” She was like “Wow, are you from Minneapolis?” and I responded “No, I just know lots of odd stuff.” She casually moved seats about 30 seconds later.

It's happened a few times, but not since 1994.

The Clifford Ball Lizards was my introduction to that song and it remains one of my two favorite versions, along with the one from the heavily circulated 4/16/92 show.
 
I'm about 1/2 way through the playlist as well. I'm weird, so I've been purposely not reading much about people's bands, etc. so I am as fresh and as much of a clean slate as possible. I also did my normal thing of pressing play and not looking at what is coming up so I don't have opinions formed and it's fun to see if I know the artist on sound or not. Good stuff so far, and looking forward to the rest tonight.
I started doing something similar in this last draft I was able to keep up with - scroll past the my song commentary then circle back around to it when I'm done giving hearts (or not).
 
If I was ranking Dino Jr I would have probably put “Feel the Pain” somewhere around 11-15, just out of obligation. It is overrated, but it pops here.

Shark Smile was the track where it was like, OK, apparently these dudes are for ****ing real. Shined 7 years ago and it still does.

Jorge will be a nice touch

That Chicago track is Sabbathy!
I agree with all the post about Feel the Pain. This 100% was a song I was thinking about when I said not to take the order too literally. It's outside of my personal top 15, but I would have it closer to the 16-20 range if forced to put them in order. I thought it would be the best starting song for the group of 16-31 that I had, because it's a very good representation of one of the main 3 "styles" of Dino Jr. that I teased out in my head when I was doing this. They didn't change a ton, but after the last month I have 80s-'91 Dino, 90s Dino, and Beyond+ as my 3 groupings of sounds from the band. It will be obvious in a month what I prefer, but thought this would be a good opener. Nothing else, I thought if there were people who knew very little of Dino Jr, this would be one of the songs, so might as well knock it out right away and save the surprises.
 
The Sigur Ros song was haunting. I will probably be saying that a lot.
The Decembrists song may have the best chorus ever composed that includes the F word. (I have not seen the Book of Mormon, though.)
The Ryan Adams song has some Neil influences in it. Also The Band. I may be saying those a lot too.
Too Much Information is one of my favorite Police deep tracks and is one of the songs that showcases how truly talented each member was.
 
TBH, if someobody asked what Dinosaur Jr was or what their sound was like, Feel the Pain is probably the song I would throw at them. My #2 song is my "true" answer for myself (and a song from the same album), but all the Dino dna (sorry been watching too many ****ty Jurassic Park sequels this week) is there. Mascis' voice, ramp up to a shredding solo, the signature guitar sound, drumming that honestly caught me off guard in in it's simplistic difficulty (does that even make sense?).

But yeah, I think it's safe to say if you hate my choices after I get through about 5 songs, you might not dig my portion of the program. I purposely tried for 5 of the last 16 that would set up the rest of the songs to come.

Dino falls into my personal music void (i.e., the 90s, when I was newly married, back to grad school, having children, yada, yada, yada) so I appreciate the pick. Added to my 1994 playlist (with an appallingly few songs already on it).

Actually, one of the main reasons I chose the Decemberists was that they got me back into "new" music. I was flying back and for to Asia in 2001-2003 and if you recall, airlines didn't have that many movies to watch in business class (natch). So I eventually watched them all and without anything else, dove into the music section of the entertainment system. Decemberists had a song or two on there and the rest is history.
 
My ex-mother in law (RIP) was an old Vietnamese woman that never really embraced American culture. She mostly listened to Vietnamese music but for whatever reason loved “That’s All” by Genesis and would play it often.
That's All is my mother's favorite Genesis song as well.
#31 on Yo Mama’s list
If your username checks out, easy guess for your number one.
Not quite that high but it’s up there.
 
I kind of wish we had 3 days between new reveals. Going to be impossible to keep up with this.

I really like this Elliot Smith song, not familiar with it.
In addition to my favorite Big Thief song appearing today, this is my favorite Dino Jr. song.

Not sure I've heard this Elton John song before. I thought it was Oasis at first.

Of course really like the Spoon and Modest Mouse tunes.
 
Clutch - never heard of them but they're right in my wheelhouse.
Deadmau5 - interesting selection in that I would bet it isn't like your other 30, but a good tune. At least that was my reaction until the 4 minute mark, then it kicks in and becomes Deadmau5. :D
 
Genesis - That’s All

Nothing deep or groundbreaking here, but we’ve already established moms, mommies, and mamas all love this song.

This might actually rank a couple spots higher, but I decided to start my Genesis countdown with this song since it was my gateway to the band.

This is one of those songs that brings me back to a moment in time. At 13 when this song came out I spent all my free time at the local arcade. This was on the constant playlist back then and still evokes certain memories for me of that time. This also got me to explore their earlier stuff and ultimately got me into progressive rock.

Fun fact - Collins wanted this song to have a Beatles-type melody to it and even patterned some of his drumming in the song after Ringo.

With all the volume of posts today and great content, I'm thinking of just posting the next list when the posts for a day slow down a lot. Like every other day. With the way thr Google form performed, the amount of work I initially thought I had to do each day was greatly reduced. This is starting out to be very cool, and I don't feel the need to rush it at all. Let's just all enjoy.
 
'Misery' is a mariachi styled series of decisions have consequences tales full of organs, accordions, mandolins, and other noises that are not fast guitars. Some say this was their identity crisis stage of their career, but I think tracks like this are what led to the second act of their career.
I'm hearing more of a balalaika feel than mariachi.
I like this track; I like it a lot. :thumbup:

Let's not wait too long. I don't want to have to burden my kids with instructions on posting should I die of old age before this is done.
 
Still 10 songs to go, but there is so much I want to comment on - next level Hipple'ing coming this afternoon if something urgent doesn't end up on my desk between now and then. This is the best mix I've heard in a long, long time.
 
Jorge Ben JorDon QuixoteO Telefone Tocou Novamente

At the very beginning of this one ... Jorge Ben is playing an ocarina or some other kind of small wind instrument. The notes sound A LOT like the riff to Digital Underground's "Freaks of the Industry". I wonder if there is a relation or inspiration there?
