Holy ****, that's really cool. I have not seen the original but have always wanted to.I've been thinking about posting a movie-related thing for a couple of weeks (not in this thread, but I don't GAF now), but I'm still not sure how it will be received...
Ah, why not. This thread can't get any worse!
I'm slightly involved in a project...awaiting final word but right now we think it's going to be premiering at Cannes. It's a new version, call it a "director's cut," of a well-known and well-derided movie...

Before you judge it too much, watch this video to explain. Most of what you think you know about this movie isn't true.
and this restoration is one of the coolest things I've heard. How are you involved?

No way and it sounds so different from their other songs that even when hearing it, it never registered as them

Yeah but I don’t like being a whiner I guess. Ultimately I did, briefly, break a board rule and now I’ve, mostly, done the time. Tomorrow, freedom.

A few unknown favorites from the 5 pointers...
A Wanderer in the Sleeping City - I've never heard this one before from Rufus W, and it is such a nice sounding song.
Toys and Flavors - Rock'n'Roll!
Look What You've Done - I've heard this before, but I never knew the name of the song or who did it.
Kyenkyen Bi Adi M'awu - I like the rhythm and instruments in this tune.
Sunshine Day - This reminds me of a 70s tune
Hallucination Generation -
Amor de Mis Amores - This music reminds me of songs that were played at my friends' wedding back in the 80s. They had a band that played at the reception, but during the band's breaks, they would put on music from the bride's parents' native countries, which were Ecuador and Spain. All those native people would go out on the floor and do certain dances to their music. It was fun.
Foolproof - Nice late night sounding song.
Without a Sound - Do I hear a harmonica?
Come With Me Now - I feel like I've heard this before, but I'm not sure. I like it.
I Get Up - I like this guy's soulful voice. This Australian soul/R&B sounds good.
*Forgot to add King of Spain.

I'm not sure if this means you were just unfamiliar with this song or with all Jet songs. In case it is the latter, here are some other favorites:

Last night I saw Westerberg's pick, "King of Spain," and I wondered if it was a cover of the Sting song. It was only after I listened (great song, by the way) and then went to look for the Sting song that I realized my error.
shuke
Black Ice Skeptic
Correct. Regardless of whether it was a single or on a Queen album, there's no way this should ever be considered a "David Bowie song".

New-to-me favorites from #27:
Vidage -- 1000mods (Raging Weasel). It didn't grab me at first, but the second half is spectacular, especially the guitar work.
Yo Ya -- Kazeret (Zamboni). Hard rocking song that builds up great momentum and ... is sung in Hebrew? I certainly never would have come across this on my own.
Sunshine Day -- Osibisa (JMLs Secret Identity). I have heard very little of their music, but I know that Osibisa is lumped in with Santana and Mandrill as early '70s bands that incorporated influences from all over the world and rocked out while doing it. And this song more than lived up to that description.
Toys And Flavors -- The Hellacopters (Eephus). A great example of '90s garage rock, with a hint of power pop thrown in. The name of the band ... could be better.
If I Ever Feel Better -- Phoenix (Marco). I know some of their mid-period and recent work, but not their early stuff. This is a little herky-jerkier than what I'm used to hearing from them, but it still showcases their strengths very well and has a nice beat to it.

No teasers tonight and not sure I'll put in any effort on this again, other than posting the daily lists and announcing winners of contests. Not worth my time or love.
What's crazy is that all week I had thought I'd post at the end of this week to say what a fantastic countdown this had been. Until today (and setting aside our people getting banned!), it had been so positive and fun, with excellent discussion and so much great music. Better for me even than the first one. Obviously I don't think that now. But thanks to most of you for really making it a great time...for a while.

Im not the grammar police typically, but if ur saying the MONKEES are better than the Beatles, at least spell the bands name rightFor me...The Monkeys > The Beatles

I noticed that too!
They got bagged on by Wenner and the other tastemakers of the day, but the Monkees had some of the very best songwriters supplying them material, and it shows.
Wiki says 2000. But it sounds like it could be from anytime.

I'm not going to go out of my way to listen to either. I think the only two Beetles songs I have as favorites are Here Comes The Sun and Dear Prudence.

It's been a rough day. Go do something you enjoy for a while. Rest. Come back tomorrow and see how you feel. Hopefully it's fully better, but of course not everything will get smoothed over so easily.

Thanks.
A lot of the drama and time-suck was by PM, and I'm not in the business of sharing that, of course.
I appreciate your kindness.
Relatedly, I try to start working on daily posts (which take a couple hours each even starting from my already somewhat “cleaned up" versions) early in my morning even if I have a lot of other **** to do, but I'm not going to do that going forward. Apologies to the rest, but I can't say when new posts will be made. I'll get to it when I get to it.
