A Music Thread [Joe Mannix]
When the topic of one-hit wonders comes up, the assessment is usually one of two things:
1. That band got robbed! They're great and only had that one song anyone's ever heard!
2. They're a one-hit wonder for a reason.
Martyn coaxes a little professionalism from us. Interesting experiment.This refers to Martyn Phillips who, according to the same booklet, was the engineer and producer for the album. Well, his experiment worked. If they had listened to him more, that album might have had more than one good song and one okay song. What one-hit wonder bands do you think deserve their fate and which do you think got robbed? NOTE: As always, the mini essay is just a conversation starter if needed. You're welcome to go off-topic, just please keep it to the world of music!
Exceptional Live Performances
In the late summer of 1991 - after the fall of the Iron Curtain but before the fall of the USSR - Metallica did a live show as a part of a larger rock festival in Moscow. By some estimates, more than a million Russians showed up for the concert. I don't know, but the scale of the audience is absolutely staggering, with cops and soldiers everywhere throughout the crowd. In this performance of "Enter Sandman" from that show, it is all on full display. It's worth paying closer attention around 4:10-4:25 because the number of people, the size of the speaker stacks, the energy level in the audience, the helicopters flying over the crowd, etc. are just astounding.
I Love Rock 'N Roll is an iconic song that was defined by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. When most people hear any part of it, their immediate thought is "Joan Jett." But it was a cover of a 1975 song from the British band Arrows. Jett's version remains fairly true to the original, just a little bit different and - in my opinion - just a little bit better.
Rush released music videos for a number of older songs, usually animated. The video for "The Spirit of Radio" is an example, and I think it is very cool. It tells a brief history of radio by calling out legends in radio and the fun of music in an upbeat animated style. A lot of the animation is also pretty cool in its own right.
In no particular order and no implications of quality, here are four songs I've heard recently. Bitter:Sweet - The Bomb
This is an upbeat track. The Hippos - When Will I Learn?
A surprisingly cheerful ska track about failing to get the girl. Gin Wigmore - The Devil in Me
This New Zealander has an odd voice, but I find that I like it. Kid Rock - Forever
There's a reason the album with this song is called "Cocky."
In case you haven't heard, Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac passed away this week at 79. Here's "Little Lies" off Fleetwood Mac's Tango in the Night.

“Ready to Go” Republica
“Bitter Sweet Symphony” The Verve
“In the Meantime” Spacehog
“No Rain” Blind Melon
All got some traction. I genuinely like each song. And, although I tried, I couldn’t find anything else by any of these bands that came close to being as good.

I found that I actually kinda liked Spacehog. Not great, but decent. They had another much more minor hit, "I Wanna Live:"

Also, "At Least I Got Laid" is a decent track, but I don't remember if it ever charted:

------------------
In the year 9595
I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing

Man has cried a billion tears
For what, he never knew, now man's reign is through
But through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight
So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday

I was living in Colorado Springs the year Another One Bites the Dust came out. The kid downstairs would come home from school and play it at a high level of volume. The best I had to counter with was the Boston Pops recording of the 1812 Overture. That version wasn't as good as the Deutsche Gramophone recording I got later. Fiedler used shotguns for the cannon fire. The Deutsche Gramophone recording came with a paper band around it advising that it used REAL CANNONS! and to play at reduced volume until you learned how your equipment handled actual blackpowder cannons. And not little two pounder saluting guns.

Which is funny because nothing else on that album sounds even remotely like "Steal My Sunshine." Anyone who bought that record because of the hit single was probably confused, bordering on angry when it played. And nothing they did previously is even close to it, either. It was a weird one-off - but it sure was profitable!

I stumbled on a Youtube vid of the Dave Mathews Band playing Fool in the Rain, and they actually have the pieces on tour to do a decent job. It's not particularly "Dave Mathews" in style, just a well played song by professional musicians, and one you don't see done live.

1) Agent Orange. Criminally underrated "punk" band. Great songs and incredible musicianship. They're too good. As in, I don't really believe they existed but were a front for someone like prince or something. But they DID exist. Yet I do not believe.
2) The Knitters. The band X put out an old tyme hillbilly country album under that name. It is great. Their version of Silver Wings is my all time favorite. The album js very amusing as well

It's funny, the band itself doesn't seem terribly proud of the song, as they haven't issued an actual video of it. I only discovered it because a cover-band called Power Converter did a video for their version of it.
Anyways, it's a cool song, kind of a power ballad, with a male & female vocal duet.

I had the good fortune as a yute to experience a yuge 3k record collection via my BFF, who had made friends with a local rock DJ. Friend enough to loan us 100 records at a time, almost all demos, from bands just hoping to get a single drop of airtime. Broadened, I was.
I sampled every track. Most were pure dreck, but occasionally...
So I made compilations of the best stuff imo. All lost now, like tears in rain. But it was fun to do. I didn't need much sleep as a teenager.

I was pretty precocious in 89 I had even predicted the bodyblow of their ghani failure and chernobyl hurting them, but the stagnation and the foggy bottom topper bottom band deciding to go Sinophile and "take the free moves history ending" gave us and give us a Persian-centric ME foreign policy with our industrial base sent to China and our actual aspirational values as a culture debauched.

Jerry Pournelle had a future history where the US/USSR teamed up to go extraplanetary and extrastellar. It was perhaps a bit too realistic a future world to be hugely popular, but it did provide the world for the classic first contact novel with Larry Niven "Mote in God's Eye"
Niven's own future histories tended to get caught in logical traps that his quick ideas caused.

That is the Mini. I watched a handful of YouTube reviews and dug into several audio gear forums and they all say the Mini and Pro are bang on. Based on that I ordered one on the spot. I get it next week and I will
drop a comment once I give it spin.
Today only and for a few hours, it seems, the Mini is on sale for $79.00 at Amazon. I have my fingers crossed this thing works well.

Once upon a time, I really liked the Cocteau Twins, but I haven't listened to them in years.
Sorta like i haven't listened to Slowdive.
Just got tired of that style. Maybe should listen again and see if I can recapture the love.

The Dollyrots anywhere for the past dozen years.
Ultravox Old Waldorf 1978, Stone 1984. Opened this one with Astradyne which you might not think a brilliant live piece, but it was amazing.

I was fortunate to see Dave and Phil Alvin (Blasters) around 2015 when they were touring for the Common Ground reunion album. Even better it was at the Tractor Tavern in Seattle which is something of a dive bar but manages to book some of the best shows ever. This particular show was *boooooooooh*, my mind is still reeling. Rock and Roll never sounded greater and more personal. And that Dave fellow can make a Fender Strat scream for mercy. It was lovely.

Trivia Time!
"Everlasting Love" is the only song to chart in the Billboard Top 40 in each of four consecutive decades:
1. Robert Knight (1967) (The "Love Affair" version is in this same period, but never charted on Billboard)
2. Carl Carlton (1973)
3. Rex Smith and Rachel Sweet (1981)
4. Gloria Estefan (1995)

I really like The Waterboys from their one-two punch phase of the completely different albums-
"This is the Sea" and "Fisherman's Blues"
TitS is filled with great anti-song-like anthems
and
FB is a country influenced Irish folk album.
The difference is that Karl Wallinger departed after TitS to form World Party. Here's the two hits off Wp's first album-

1. Weird Al, just turn 'im loose on it and let him do his thing.
2. Toss the lyrics, and get someone of great talent to fill the song with words of quiet optimism in anticipation of joys which lie ahead.
Of course, the arrangement would need a different layering of instruments, the maudlin nature of the original is too deeply ingrained in the public mind to make it anything other than suicide by song-fumes.

God that got overplayed to death.
Frampton apparently came in with his entourage to this bar I helped with in HS and gave the bartender woman like a 20 dollar tip. The male BT was bitching like hell about it on the weekends after close because he didn't know until it was too late to shake a decent tip out of them. He had a lot of nice stories.

Yeah, that sounds compatible. I hadn't heard of them, but look at more of their stuff.
Blue Jimmy was from Rochester, NY, IIRC. I picked up their album off a long table with CDs piled on it that were all marked "free." I got it based on the album cover. I was pleasantly surprised. I picked up a couple of others off that table, too. They were less pleasant.

Yep, I loved that show. Had such a crush on Yvonne Strahovski and was always rooting for Chuck to get together with her character. Great rest of the cast too with Adam Baldwin and the actress who played Chuck's sister (can't remember her name).
But the show for me was made even more excellent by all the music they picked for closing scenes and key scenes throughout the show. To this day, I will hear a song and it will immediately send me back to the scene in "Chuck".
I discovered the group Band of Horses from their songs played on the show. Love the song "No One's Gonna Love You". Such great music on that show.

Other than the music, the other thing I loved was the shameless product placement of Subway sandwiches. But I heard at the time that it was their advertising dollars that kept the show on when it was in danger of cancellation.

Nonsuch was a very good album, IMHO. The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead was the lead single from it IIRC.

Was too good.
Had him nailed to a
Chunk of wood.

A lot like you,
And an awful lot like me"

Oh definitely. For me, a show is great if I care about the characters and begin to feel like they truly care about each other as well, and it's not just actors.
Chuck's sister, sister's boyfriend "Awesome" were both great. Chuck's best friend Morgan is great. And going through the videos, I realize that I never did finish the series and didn't realize how many great actors they had in it later: Chuck's dad was Scott Bacula. Chuck's mom was Linda Hamilton. Sarah's dad was Gary Cole. Mark Christopher Lawrence as Big Mike was great.
Man, now I want to watch the series again!

In 578 comments, I've seen direct references or allusions to Seasons in the Sun, Afternoon Delight, MacArthur Park, Radar Love, and Spirit in the Sky (GREAT tune/shoddy lyrics. Like George Harrison and Supertramp).
From an old guy, notable omissions: Hot Rod Lincoln/cover by Commander Cody. The Night Chicago Died/Paper Lace. Billy, Don't Be A Hero/cover by Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods. Abraham, Martin and John/last-hit wonder by Dion. Beach Baby/The First Class. Gone/cover by Joey Heatherton.
Having established my great age and logorrhea, I'd say something rude to the NPCs dissing Sir Paul McCartney, but I figure he has one of the world's great pile of FU money, so why bother?
