The Return of the Desert Island Jukebox Draft - Drop in a quarter (2 Viewers)

12.14 Frankenstein, Edgar Winter Group (gonna need some counseling on the year - album release, 1972; single release, 1973)

I dont fully understand the bonus years, but i'm protecting my '72s in case it gets put there. The song that turned the dashboard into a keyboard.

 
The spreadsheet looks seriously messed up. I see a bunch of duplicate songs and things in the wrong place. Wilkids last pick he just made is incorrect for example

Has anyone seen The Morning Show on Apple TV?  I've watched four episodes (out of 10) so far, and I like it. My sister is out of town with her family, and I am feeding her cats while she is gone. Her son put the Apple TV App on her TV since he has been home from college. I don't have Apple TV, so I've been watching this show over at her house. I'll watch another episode later today.

yeah, finally got apple+ with a new ipad purchase from my daughter, my wife and I thought it was great...  really liked Reese in this, but everyone was great...

 
12.18 - Fire - The Pointer Sisters (1978)

"Fire" was a Springsteen song that didn't make the cut for Darkness on the Edge of Town.  The Pointer Sisters' version made it #2 on the Pop charts which ties it with "Dancing in the Dark" as the highest charting song written by the Boss.  Anita Pointer handles the lead vocals.

I prefer the Pointer Sisters' record to the Rockabilly cover released by Robert Gordon and Link Wray in the same year.  I'm a Gordon fan but have always thought he sounds out of tune on his version. 

The flip side was Love is Like a Rolling Stone but I'm leaving it out of my jukebox.

My daughter signed up for a free week to bingewatch something so I used her login to watch Spike Jonze's Beastie Boys documentary.  It was pretty good.

I was amazed how little content Apple had available.

 
I enjoyed for all mankind as well, I like SciFi and this is an alt Sci-Fi thats pretty good, worth checking out if your a fan of the genre...

The radio stations in my neck of the woods substituted their call letters for "radio" in the line "I turn on my radio". I'm assuming this happened across the country.

That would work better syllabically if you're West of the Mississippi.

 
11.xx

The Weaver

Cannonball Adderley

(1963)

this one is based on the blues...Weaver was a childhood friend of Cannonball Adderley, and served as the best man at his wedding.  On his 1963 album Nippon Soul, Adderley introduces the Yusef Lateef composition "The Weaver" as "dedicated to a...dear friend of everyone in the band, kind of a jive cat, but a beautiful cat. His name is Weaver, Lee Weaver. So the tune sounds somethin' like Lee Weaver. It's soulful, it's mean."

and then DJ Muggs musta heard it some way and he slowed that bassline down a bit and we have 

12.xx

Lick a Shot

Cypress Hill

(1993)

And while we are , we may as well take the B-Side to the UK Exclusive Single for Lick a Shot, Scooby doo

We had an "LRS" AOR station in Louisville. (silent W - 🤔)... 

Not sure if they did the sub; but the meter matched! 

Edit: assuming only "radio" is subbed. (... turn on the LRS...)

Super underrated band imo

 
I'm reading in the "who has coronavirus" thread, people waiting a week or more to get test results and I really don't get it.

Here we've had on demand drive thru testing for almost two months, symptoms or not. Results next day online. 

The United States is the medical and technological behemoth of the world, there's no way we should be this much more effective/efficient. My city is up to 26 days without a case. 

For large cities Toronto is now around ~20 new cases per day and obviously is in such good shape they're being used as a "hub city" for NHL. 

Masks are still mandatory indoors but in my area things are otherwise back to normal (Toronto is being cautious and still in phase two because there are still daily new cases). Anyway, I'm just posting stuff in here now so I don't get banned in stupid fights in other threads. 

 
Round 12 Dropping Some NYC - Blues Traveler (1990)

I know not everyone is into jam-bands but the jam band scene in the early 90s in NYC at clubs like the Wetlands Preserve, McGovern's, the 712 Club and Nightingales was pretty special. Bands like the Blues Traveler, Ominous Seapods, Spin Doctors, moe., God Street Wine, Blackout Banana Boat and others were always playing and collaborating.

I think we all know why 

 
trying to be reasonable for the whole definition of these "one-hit wonders" ...absolutely CANNOT trust any of the sites that list one-hit wonders

some are obviously not one-hit wonders, but there are just wayyy too many you think seem ok ...but then if you check them out ...they skitter around the top 40 with another hit or two ...usually just one other.  

some seem like they meet the technical aspect, but have just large a body of work (think album oriented groups) ...even though they only had one US top 40 hit.  

1971 - These songs are typically listed across sites for 1971 One Hit Wonders

ex.)  Layla - Derek and the Dominoes (1971) ...short-lived group, they only had one top 40 hit (Bell Bottom Blues barely cracked the Billboard Top 100).  Did they fade away from public's consciousness ...no, and it's Eric Clapton for criminey sakes

ex.)  I'd Love To Change The World - Ten Years After (1971) ...great song, I want it.  It was their only song to crack the US Billboard Top 40 (3 others that didn't crack the top 60).  But they were rock album stalwarts with 4 straight Top 20 albums and plenty more charting albums.  Can't in good conscious call them a one-hit wonder.

ex.)  Smiling Faces - The Undisputed Truth (1971) ...these guys were R&B mainstays with a ton of hits on the US R&B charts in the 70s but only cracked the top US Billboard 40 with this song.  They did however hit the top 100 5 other times and bumped up against the Top 100 3 other times.  With that deep a R&B catalog and that kind of crossover success ...can't call one-hit wonders by a long stretch.

12.22: Precious And Few - Climax (1971)

sappy and completely AM-styled.  The kind of song I would have never dared to admit I liked meanwhile secretly singing it in my room when it came on the radio.  Not my first choice as you see above, but I'm glad it made it.

You can take it - I don’t need my b-sides (or in this case a-sides). I relinquish Ms. Fat Booty to your care.

Thank you, but nope. What's done is done. I love that song. Glad you picked it. Gotta adjust, overcome, adapt, as the movie would say.

eta* whining about snipes simply means I dug that song and sample. There are tons. Don't worry.

Getting some talk box up in here!

12.24  Peter Frampton - Show Me the Way (live version - released 1976)

Nice version of his Humble Pie song, Shine On, on the b-side, so I'll take it.

Frampton was on guitar, talk box(!), and vocals in Ringo's Fourth All-Starr Band (1997-98).  He also did guitar and vocals on Ringo's albums Postcards from Paradise and Give More, the latter of which also had Paul on it.

And of course, lest we overlook another cinematic classic, he played the lead role of Billy Shears in the laughably awful Sgt. Pepper's movie in the 1970s.  He was dreamy then.

It’s no big deal - I drafted Mathematics, Ms Fat Booty is just along for the ride. 

 
Okay, because it's been in my head all weekend, I'm going to go ahead and go with one of the two hard decisions this time around. Lyrics explicit in content, safe on my island.

Round 12.25

Song: The Story Of O.J.

Artist: Jay-Z

Year: 2017

And even though she didn't have the greatest voice, but had soul, here's a very difficult but soulful lament. Largely on the strength of this rather than Jay-Z's sociopolitical stance has this choice been made. 

Round 13.01

Song: Four Women

Artist: Nina Simone

Year: 1966

This is for those downtempo and contemplative moments on the island/bar/hangout space.

I switched the normal sampled first, sampler second order, but have switched it up on accident. Not sure what that means other than for continuity's sake on the sheet. Oh well.

Word. It's funny, until this, I'd always loved the female voice sped up on the track, but I had no idea who it was until this. Digging in the liner notes took a back seat to weed back then, I guess. I remember I used to listen to that song with this horrible mini-bong that didn't seal right. Smoking sativa weed flown in from Humboldt back when it was illegal to do all of that. Too mellow for my tastes. I like the indica hyper indoor hydroponic stuff, frankly.

Canada has experience from the containment of Chilliwack.
