Musicological banter

I also liked the country episode best, which probably comes as a surprise to no one.

everyone take a deep breath, visualize your happy place, and know that there is a way forward through the struggle:

How to Tell a Loved One They’re Coiling Cables Wrong

Also, to treat New Edition as a passing comment in the Boyz II Men episode was criminal and probably why I stuck so far at the bottom.

Considering they hired Bivens as their manager,  I think it was a given how much impact they had on the Boyz from Philly.

I've got a voluntary, fun work assignment. Pasted below. Anybody have any good suggestions?



Share Labor Day Lyrics:  There are lots of songs that focus on work and labor, and maybe even some that focus on economics or statistics.  Identify your favorite and share the lyrics. 

Here’s an example:

I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company.
But lately there ain’t been much work on account of the economy.
Bruce Springsteen – The River

take this job and shove it might have some good gems

somewhere Coldplay is kicking themselves over this…  "Dammit why didn't we think of this, to  go along with the box of the same album on different colored cassettes"

Lorde is bringing us yet another new format… The "Discless Music Box" at twice the price of a regular CD a steal at 24.98 list…  as it pointed even more expensive than an actual book…

They said to list three. Combine that one with Career Opportunities by the Clash, and I'm two-thirds of the way there.

Don't Worry About the Government

I see the states, across this big nation
I see the laws made in Washington, D.C.
I think of the ones I consider my favorites
I think of the people that are working for me

Some civil servants are just like my loved ones
They work so hard and they try to be strong
I'm a lucky guy to live in my building
They own the buildings to help them along
It's over there, it's over there

My building has every convenience
It's gonna make life easy for me
It's gonna be easy to get things done

speaking of CDs… if I had a CD player in the car I'd consider this from Light In The Attic…

Perfect example for government work:

“Now, I’ve never held an honest job in my entire life, I’ve never done any hard labor. I’ve never worked 9 to 5. I’ve never worked five days a week until right now.”

Big laugh.

“I don’t like it!”

Big laugh.

“I’ve never seen the inside of a factory, and yet it’s all I’ve ever written about. Standing before you is a man who has become wildly and absurdly successful writing about something of which he has had absolutely no personal experience.”

Big laugh.

“I made it all up.”

Big laugh.

“That’s how good I am.”

- Bruce Springsteen on Broadway

speaking of one note guitar solos…

first solo: there are multiple notes, due to bending.  FAIL.
second solo: i hesitate to call that part a solo… but fine.  WIN, i guess.
third solo: legit.  WIN (although some might say the use of the wah is cheating…)
fourth solo: uh… "a few seconds later"?  how convenient to skip THE OTHER NOTES.  FAIL.
fifth solo:  legit.  WIN.

60% - barely a passing grade.  we need better next time.

CCR's "Tombstone Shadow" just popped up on my iTunes. Fabulous one-note solo double-tracked and in unison!

see?  this is the quality we expect.  would have gotten double points for including Tombstone.

Any Zappa fans out there?
