PSA: Do not get in the way of #30 on NC State.

Mr. Burns is excellent under the basket.

He always looks to me like he is moving in slow motion due to his size. He's a great player.

I hope State shoots better in the second half.

As the announcers said, he’s got incredible touch for a huge guy. Impressive passer too.

You guys might want to watch Iowa vs. Holy Cross, not for Caitlin but for the hottie Holy Cross coach.

What channel? It's halftime for the NCSU girls on ESPNU.

Nevermind, I forgot about our majority audience here.

Yeah, sorry. I might be forgetting someone but don't believe I've ever seen a good-looking male basketball coach.

Thinking back, I think Rick Barnes was really cute back in his early coaching days. Him in college. This is him last year at age 68.

Covers from #8 that I know and like and have not previously discussed in this thread:

Devil with a Blue Dress On - Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels (Shorty Long) -- I didn't know this was a cover*. Regardless, I'm sure this version is the one Springsteen based his cover off of.
Hotel California - Gipsy Kings (The Eagles) -- A fun reinvention.
No Depression - Uncle Tupelo (The Carter Family) -- Pretty much sums up the ethos of the whole alt-country movement.
Fast Car - Luke Combs (Tracy Chapman) -- It was nice to see Chapman back in the spotlight when this hit.
Cities - Phish (Talking Heads) -- Very different from the original, but equally grooving. If David Byrne took downers to "take the edge off," maybe the Heads' version would have sounded more like this.
One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer - George Thorogood and the Destroyers (John Lee Hooker, Amos Milburn) -- This was Thorogood's radio breakthrough, at least in Philly. The second song I ever heard from him was a cover of a song that has already appeared on this countdown in a different version.
Voodoo Chile - Angelique Kidjo (Jimi Hendrix Experience) -- Only known because DrIan took this in the worldwide countdown.

* -- I did know the "Good Golly Miss Molly" part was a cover, obviously.

掙脫 (“Dreams”) - Faye Wong (Cranberries) x2 -- I realize I have heard this before. JML took it in the worldwide countdown.

Yes. I took it very high indeed and put it at #4 from memory.
Im just astounded that @Don Quixote a) ranked it and b) in the exact same spot

I’ve been busy with family celebrating birthday for my son today, so haven’t had chance to post. But remember you ranking it pretty high there and pretty cool that we both ranked it at same spot. Ranked The Cranberries original pretty high in my British Islands list.

Own the Criterion collection on The World of Wong Kar Wai (I think 80s helped convince me to pull the trigger on that one), and love Chunking Express.

Thanks
At the 10 minute mark you can hear her singing it as a 9 year old. I think the adult version is much better lol

Small Voice is the debut album by Lea Salonga, recorded when she was only nine years old. Philippine critics gave the album and Salonga's performance positiv...

Definitely not my thing. He does look great now for 68, though.

 

[simey]

Definitely not my thing

You don't find him cute at all?

 

[simey]

My oldest nephew, Wheezie Baby Sugar Britches, drove to Pittsburgh with a friend to see this State game. I told him he better be wearing what he wore to the ACC Championship game for good luck. He said he is.

 

[simey]

Damn. I bet he didn't wear the same underwear.

 

[krista4]

Definitely not my thing

You don't find him cute at all?

Zero.

 

[simey]

Zero.

Are you talking like you think he is an eyesore?

 

[krista4]

Zero.

Are you talking like you think he is an eyesore?

Oh no, not at all. He's a fine-looking guy. Just not attractive to me.

My taste can be weird. Though I find obvious hotties like DeMeco Ryans and Sean McVay attractive, if I got to choose one NFL head coach, I'd take Mike McDaniel.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Thing I never thought I'd see in this thread: folks arguing over how hot Rick Barnes is.

 

[krista4]

Oh boy, this game! Fingers crossed for my Wolfpack fans.

 

[Eephus]

Definitely not my thing

You don't find him cute at all?

Zero.

Did Josh Pastner float your boat when you both were in Memphis?

 

[zamboni]

That humongous boxing-out buffalo at BWW is pretty freaky.

 

[krista4]

Definitely not my thing

You don't find him cute at all?

Zero.

Did Josh Pastner float your boat when you both were in Memphis?

No. Can't stand that broccoli hair, even though all the kids are doing it these days.

 

[Doug B]

Though I find obvious hotties like DeMeco Ryans and Sean McVay attractive, if I got to choose one NFL head coach, I'd take Mike McDaniel.

My wife likes her some Kevin O’Connell (Vikings head coach).

 

[Mister CIA]

Cocaine Bear vs Cocaine Bison. Who do you got?

 

[Mister CIA]

Congrats NC State fans. They fought through some questionable calls early in overtime.

 

[simey]

Ahhhwooooo!

 

[krista4]

Though I find obvious hotties like DeMeco Ryans and Sean McVay attractive, if I got to choose one NFL head coach, I'd take Mike McDaniel.

I approve!

 

[krista4]

Back to music...I realized that there's an artist on today's list that has a potential heavy hitter cover that hasn't been revealed yet. Also a similar situation on the prior list (#9s), too.

 

[zamboni]

Ahhhwooooo!

Werewolves of Raleigh

 

[krista4]

WOW!!! The #9s were 100% successful for me. Most were covers I already knew, but those and the new-to-me ones were all really solid. Great playlist top to bottom! A few new-to-me highlights:

Didn't know the original but loved the covers:
"Hey Hey Helen" by Lush
"The Maker" by Dave Matthews Band
"Teardrop" by Jose Gonzalez

Best mashup: Umphrey's McGee

Just missed:
"I Shall Be Released" by Wilco and Fleet Foxes - mostly loved this but there was one person who was singing so off-key

Where has this been all my life:
"Summertime" by Doc & Merle Watson
"The Metro" by System of a Down

Biggest wows:
"Light My Fire" by the Four Tops
"Redemption Song" by Richard Bona

Cities - Phish (Talking Heads)

I'm not saying Phish "owns" this song, but they've really done great things with it.

Here's a good live version for you to watch. I know how hot Simey is for Page.

 

[krista4]

I was thinking of doing a listening party for the #8s with OH tomorrow, but I see Eric Clapton is on there.

 

[simey]

Here's a good live version for you to watch. I know how hot Simey is for Page.

That link is blocked for me, but I'm assuming Page is the piano player.

Link fixed. And yes, Page is the piano player.

 

[simey]

Maybe OH can find something to say about the songwriter instead of the song coverer.

 

[simey]

Link fixed. And yes, Page is the piano player.

It still doesn't work for me. Maybe it is my computer.

 

[shuke]

Hmm. Youtube search Phish - "Cities" - 8/6/2010

Congrats to simey's boyfriend!!!

Is it the broccoli hair for you too?

 

[simey]

Congrats to simey's boyfriend!!!

By the way, I read in the Miami Times today that your boyfriend said he has spent the off-season trying to decide if he should bring his hair part half of an inch further down, which would be right at his ear.

[Val Rannous]

Yeah, sorry. I might be forgetting someone but don't believe I've ever seen a good-looking male basketball coach.

Lefty Driesell?

 

[zamboni]

Yeah, sorry. I might be forgetting someone but don't believe I've ever seen a good-looking male basketball coach.

Lefty Driesell?

In all seriousness, many say that Tony Bennett is easy on the eyes. The Charlottesville one obviously, not the San Francisco one.

Better looking that his team's style perhaps

I guess it's Fabio for you then.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Mr R and I have been listening to a ridiculous amount of Blue Man Group for some reason.

 

[zamboni]

Yup - his and UVA’s reluctance to embrace NIL is making them miss out on the guys they want/need.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Yeah, sorry. I might be forgetting someone but don't believe I've ever seen a good-looking male basketball coach.

Lefty Driesell?

**** Vitale?

The new Michigan coach, Dusty May might be as close as we get. A little stubble would maybe help? He’s close. And how about that name.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

A little stubble would maybe help?

No. Learn how to shave. I loathe scruff.

 

[Ilov80s]

No. Learn how to shave. I loathe scruff.

Then you may like Dusty May, he never skips a morning shave.
