Cleveland is a pretty cool city, I am digging it

How long are you in town?

Until Friday.. I’m having lunch on 4th street rfn

Are they now all set up for outdoor drinking? Law just passed, but last I heard businesses are still coordinating logistics. Heading down next weekend, so just curious. Glad you're enjoying the city- welcome to paradise!

Yeah I’m at the Corner Alley right across from my hotel and they have an outside section out on the walkway, and the whole place is opened up to the outside. It’s all very comfortable around here. A hot girl half my age was just up at the bar griping about the service though

Cleveland is a pretty cool city, I am digging it

Yeah I like Cleveland too, not sure why it gets the bad rap. It's only a couple hours from Detroit so have done the RRHOF and a couple baseball games. Easy to walk to a bunch of different bars,the casino or HOF. There is an old graveyard across from the stadium that I wander around in to smoke weed before games and such.

I’m kind of glad there aren’t a bunch of dispensaries all over the place like a lot of other cities, I like that stuff too much and am better off avoiding

[kupcho1]

Just got back to the hotel after spending all morning at the RRHOF. I wish I could have shared pics with you all as I was going along!

It was a moving experience for sure, for those of our ilk

I lived in Cleveland when it went up and opened. I went to the RRHOF concert at the old Cleveland stadium. Best lineup ever.

Who was it?

Oh, hardly anyone of note. Just:
Chuck Berry
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band
John Mellencamp
Martha Reeves
Bon Jovi
Eric Burdon
Melissa Etheridge
Dr. John
Pretenders
Jackson Browne
Aretha Franklin
John Fogerty
Soul Asylum
Lou Reed
Gin Blossoms
Sheryl Crow
George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic
The Kinks
Heart
Jerry Lee Lewis
Natalie Merchant
Robbie Robertson
Bruce Hornsby
Bob Dylan
Booker T. & The MG's
Sam Moore
Slash
Boz Scaggs
Martha & The Vandellas
Little Richard
Allman Brothers Band
James Brown
Al Green
Johnny Cash

You can watch it on YouTube if you'd like. Great show. Worth watching if only the first act where Bruce joins Chuck Berry for Jonathon B Goode.

I'd just moved to the Cleveland area but I'd stayed in a Pittsburgh-based fantasy football league. The concert conflicted and they wouldn't change the draft date, so I started a new, better league in Cleveland.

I'm not sure how they decided on how they'd roll them out, but they did so efficiently. IIRC there were two stages that were on kind of a lazy susan, so they could have an act performing while setting the next one up. Much appreciated.

Yep, but get there today or tomorrow (preferably today) if possible. Unseasonably cool few days coming up unfortunately. Looks like actual summer won't start til father's day this year.

Foo Fighters

Just Win Baby

Run Run Foo Fighters · Concrete and Gold · Song · 2017 open.spotify.com

This is the only song I chose off the Foos' 9th studio album, Concrete and Gold. There are a couple others that just missed.

Run won the Grammy for Best Rock Song at the 2018 Grammys and was also nominated for Best Rock Performance. It was the 7th Foos song to top the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart.

I like this description of the song message from Kerrang, which in 2020 ranked the song as the 17th best Foos song:

Marrying Beatles-esque chord progressions, a springy punk attitude and shrieks of chaotic noise rock glee to a surprisingly earnest message about waking up and seizing the moment, Run felt like a wild, leftfield statement from these established stadium-dwellers...

Music Grotto ranked it as the 7th best Foos song in early 2023 and said:

2018’s Run signaled a new vibe for the band, with a Beatles-inspired melody and a hard punk rock rhythm. The song is all about waking from your stupor and seizing the opportunities before you, the lyrics making a vague nod to the political turmoil of the late 2010s.

The official video is awesome, check it out.

 

[New Binky the Doormat]

my selection #29 that will be posted tomorrow is a from an older, mostly forgotten album from the early 80s - but it's one of my favorites.

tough selection - there are 4-5 that that I love. I was going through a heartbreak after being dumped by a girlfriend and several of the songs really hit home.

I ended up picking the one that got a decent amount of MTV airplay - really trying to cover the gambit of Todd while keeping the playlist heavily in mind for the "new to Todd" crowd.

really like what JML is doing with the album/year pulls and will add that later.

 

[JB Breakfast Club]

My #29 Brandi Carlile song is a rare occurrence where she performs without the Hanseroth twins. The song was nominated for song of the year at the Grammy's, so it was a successful one-time collaboration. We will eventually get into the official BC catalog, but I wanted to include some other tracks at the bottom of the list.

The BC studio songs are more Americana/Roots than country, and they (the Brandi Carlile band name refers to the trio of Brandi and the twins, and they split all money equally) picked up a best rock song Grammy nomination last year. More to come on that later...

I didn’t expect this one to get a lot of love. It’s not a huge favorite among the Phish crowd. But I’ve always felt it to be vet cathartic. And it’s great to get tunes like this in the middle of chaotic jamming sets to get a chance to catch your breath.

[scorchy]

Some of these memories are almost 3 days old and kind-of hazy so sure I'm missing a few things that stood out:

The Police - dang, a Police song that I didn't instantly skip. Hope there are many more to come (for the record, used to be a fan but Sting really wore me out).
Rush - Nice. Even in the heights of my fandom, Hold Your Fire wasn't a CD I pulled out often. Great song.
Green Day and Big Thief still bringing it.
Daft Punk - Where I did I put my glowsticks?
Chicago - Holy ####, do I actually like Chicago?
Stevie Wonder - at first, I thought Spotify screwed up and this wasn't really Stevie Wonder. Then I heard the chorus.
Dinosaur Jr - I thought this was the most restrained I've ever heard J Mascis, until he shreds the solo.
Spoon - dug everything about this one
Springsteen - my Bruce list might only have 10-12 songs on it, but this would be near the top of the list

The Hold Steady “Realistic” Dream Setlist Song 2: Barfruit Blues

She said "It's good to see you back in a bar band, baby"
I said "It's great to see you're still in the bars"

Album: Almost Killed Me (#1 of 5)

Year: 2004

# of Times Seen Live: 10 of 37 shows

The Backstory: A ton of the Hold Steady narrative is set up in this one. The first mention of Hallelujah/Holly. The bar band lyrics quoted above. The Born to Run/Born to Lose Springsteen/Johnny Thunders dichotomy that rockaction called out earlier. Not to mention Galen's absolutely killer bassline. At the time, the music press went with the story that The Hold Steady formed from the ashes of Lifter Puller as a reaction to all the too-cool-for-school dance punk bands that took over the scene in Craig and Tad's adopted new home of Brooklyn. The lines about the "clever kids" definitely give some credence to that theory.

 

[otb_lifer]

to further entertain you during this lull, here are PHILTHY mag, and their take on the 'haus ...

"Although often critically overshadowed by their slightly more underplayed peers, who rely on less of the cosmetic and sonic influence of both horror cinema and glam rock, I find it quite hard to argue that Bauhaus aren’t the quintessential post-punk band of all-time… They broke and burned out in less than five years and they never looked or sounded less than fabulous… or horrifying… Although their original… and subsequent… tenure[s] were short, few artists can ever claim to have had a bigger influence on possibly the last two generations of admirable teen-angst than these four lads from Northampton, who blended the sloppy chaos of punk with the moodiness of the Victorian gothic"

this guy ^ knows things.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Of course you did. Zevon was nominated this year for the FIRST TIME. Those jerks wouldn't know a rock act if it bit them in the keister.

Don't believe their #31 came up on shuffle for me. The #31 Ryan Adams song "Magnolia Mountain" sounded a lot more like The Dead than this one does.

I liked this tune. I liked yesterday's as well. I ain't gonna lie, I've been tempted to hit skip on a few songs (but have plowed on to give all a fair shake).
The musicianship has been stellar on both. I liked the lyrics on Wading better than the #31 song

Hopefully you will actually like most or all of the 31 songs I picked. Beyond that, can't promise anything.

I’m not a Phish guy but had a little phase in 8th grade or so. Good band and worth checking out.

Might have been a mistake.

Their fanbases have way more in common than their actual music. The Dead started from a base of folk, blues, country and early rock and roll. Phish started from a base of jazz, prog and '70s hard rock. Their biggest influences were Frank Zappa and King Crimson (particularly the early '80s lineup of Fripp/Belew/Levin/Bruford).

 

[otb_lifer]

country

there's that filthy word again ...

 

[Pip's Invitation]

That being said, I was disappointed in Phish's 2010 album Joy because I thought too many of its songs sounded like the Dead.

If it's what I think it is, it's definitely the kind of thing you'd listen to if you've just had a cathartic moment in your life.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Gone Cold is more up my alley than the previous Clutch song. They sound nothing like each other -- and if the band dabbles in a bunch of different styles/sounds, it makes sense why a lot of Ween fans like them.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Since Catch the Sun was what put Doves on my radar, I also like Sky Starts Falling, which has some of the same power-pop elements.

He wrote this one with pal Jorge Calderon who suggested the title. The album, Sentimental Hygiene, is the first when he actually was sober in the mid 80s, the first of several "comeback" LPs. REM was his backing band and David Lindley provided the guitar fills. Lyrics include references to Liz and Liza, who famously visited the same facilities WZ did.

Would just like to chime in for a moment. First, I would listen to the song on Spotify rather than YouTube. The YouTube version features noise effects that aren't part of the song. More importantly than that, a short time ago, Don Quixote -- knowing I was doing Daft Punk for this countdown -- passed along a PM with a classical pianist doing a version of today's song, "Veridis Quo."

I'll post it here in case anybody is interested. Thanks again, Don, and peace to y'all. Herewith the classical piano . . .

I wish I had done a write-up of the overall importance of Daft Punk and their effect on me, but I skipped the opportunity, so let me just introduce the band in the most basic of ways.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________

From Wiki:

Daft Punk were a French electronic music duo formed in 1993 in Paris by Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. They achieved popularity in the late 1990s as part of the French house movement, combining elements of house music with funk, disco, techno, rock and synth-pop.[1] They garnered acclaim and commercial success and are regarded as one of the most influential acts in dance music.

Daft Punk formed after their indie rock band, Darlin', disbanded. From 1999, Daft Punk assumed robot personas for public appearances, with helmets, outfits and gloves to disguise their identities; they made few media appearances.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

That's the briefest of synopses of the band. They're dance music stalwarts, Grammy winners, chart-toppers, and above all, club heroes. It might seem like a cop-out, but I'm gonna take a page from Maurile Tremblay, who believes that Wikipedia can include the best primers or introductions to subjects of interest. I'd advise reading this if you have any further interest in them. It's a really good start. I have no problem doing the work, but I'm not sure I can do an introduction better than this, if you're willing to abide the obvious self-interested edits by certain parties.

Genesis #29 - Dodo / Lurker

Album - Abacab
Year - 1981

Is this song about ecology and endangered species?

Is this song a political treatise about systemic power?

Is this just a song with typical Genesis nonsense?

Does this song have a secret message about submarines at the end that only Qanon people can decipher?

I’ve had too many rum and cokes to answer these questions right now.

This album has a few clunkers, but this isn’t one of them. I like this one.
