I weep for this generation.

A columnist featured on MSNBC provided the following example how you can take a string of seemingly randomly selected and currently popular pop tunes and mix them together into a single continuous string with no discontinuities.

www.youtube.com/watch?...RnSHbCzigg

By Gawd, nobody ever noticed that phenomenon with "Hey Joe", "Mama Told Me Not To Come", "Mrs. Robinson", "Hey Jude", "Love Child" and "Born To Be Wild" airing back-to-back, which they did.

"...Vissagan says in the video description, "I was listening to the radio when I realized I could mix every song I had just heard. Pop songs are so replaceable these days ..."

Perhaps the artists who created these songs would view that as a good thing. You might not like Katy Perry in particular, but thanks to all the stuff that sounds like Katy Perry, you're listening to a lot of Katy Perry.

No one here is opposed to a little dance pop on the radio dial. But when even the shuffle function on your iPod is out of ideas, it's time to mix things up -- in a good way. "

I suspect that's one reason oldies stations flourish. Rolling Eyes

Bummer....former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Bob Welch left us today, by his own hand. He and the troubled Danny Kirwan were the main FM pickers in the early '70's and contributed to my favorite two FM albums, "Future Games" and the milestone "Bare Trees". While I'd heard of them, I'd never listened to Fleetwood Mac until introduced to the "Bare Trees" album, which blew me away....

"Bare Trees"

Yep, the song sucked, but the sentiment of any hour of the day being appropriate was dead on! Twisted Evil

Now stop with that kind of '70's links or I'll follow this with some Captain and Tennile or Leo Sayer.

So many memories...........

It was a real shame that they fell apart. Part of that great country-rock era that included NRPS, Poco, Pure Prairie League, etc.

...and now for something completely different.....

This one is going straight to the car just like this without lyrics. Motown's "Funk Brothers" pre-edit track of the toe-tappin'ist song to ever to come out of Detroit. The sax is just the right touch...and Jamerson's bass is like a black hole that just sucks all the other instruments in.

youtu.be/2_nQ-GNdo3E All politics aside,I'm proud of this first song but the second one is one of the all time great peices of music ever,especially at at this venue and time

Another under-appreciated band that fell apart way too soon.....Firefall. Great clean sound, crisp lyrics.

Three of the best tracks (finally uploaded by somebody)...

"Cinderella"

and a great period piece of the era...

"Mexico"

...and something completely different....

"Sad Ol' Love Song"

JG300-Ascout · Posted: Sat May 05, 2012 9:02 pm Post subject: Re: Track of the day....

NRPS was a wildly under-rated and short-lived experimental band with only a couple of albums, but there's some great stuff on those.

Unmistakeably Jerry Garcia on pedal steel guitar (and Spencer Dryden, a Jefferson Airplane alumni) on drums. Commander Cody and Mickey Hart make appearances...a remarkably good album in it's consistency (unlike the follow-on "Panama Red")

My favorite....

"Portland Woman"

Closely followed by

"I don't know you"

But also a big fan of...

Glendale Train

AMOS WHITE WAS THE BAGGAGE MAN
AND HE DEARLY LOVED HIS JOB
THE COMPANY, THEY REWARDED HIM
WITH A GOLDEN WATCH AND FOB
WELL, AMOS HE WAS A’ MARKIN’ TIME
WHEN THE DOOR BLEW OFF HIS CAR
THEY FOUND AMOS WHITE IN FIFTEEN PIECES,
FIFTEEN MILES APART

...now that's cold.

...and no NRPS list would be complete without...

"Henry"

Someday, I simply must find someone who can explain these lyrics to me. Rolling Eyes

Manolo · Posted: Sat May 05, 2012 8:07 pm Post subject: Re: Track of the day....

Manolo says, The Stoopy....he is having the funk, but the soul he is having the none of.

The chicken who is funky is having the moves like this:

Manolo, he is liking The Booker, but is more of a "Time is tight" and "Cebola Verde" fan....
