Need negative music...bad week...

Offenders - "I Hate Myself"


Black Flag - "Depression"

Credence Clearwater Revival - "Hey Tonight"

Never realized how power-poppy the first few notes were before.

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band - "Working Class Hero"

T Rex - "One Inch Rock"

Most likely not too close to the original.

Running Count: 176 songs for 2011.

1970 songs mixed in with some commentary about the storm. The NBC affiliate has a bow-tie wearer. They need to make it spin when there's AN EXCITING WEATHER EVENT!

Syd Barrett - "Two of a Kind"

From a John Peel Session.

Day 15

Few days off due to travel, but let's start with some Miles...

Miles Davis - "So What"


Led Zeppelin - "Achilles Last Stand"

Heard in the car while going to get coffee. Ain't it grand when you go in to a store while a sing is playing and it's still playing when you come out?

As covered by G-n-R which I also heard out in the car.

Superchunk - "Hyper Enough"


Supertouch - "Vendor"


Buzzcocks - "Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't Have)"

The Cure - "Jumping Someone Else's Train"

Poison Idea - "Just to Get Away"


Man or Astroman? - "Nitrous Burnout"

Believe this is the version from Is It...Man or Astroman?

Tommy Shaw grew up in Montgomery.

Lloyd Williams - "Shama Lama Ding Dong"

From the Animal House soundtrack, filmed on the Eugene campus.

Day 9 - Part 2

More themelessness.

Misfits - "Where Eagles Dare"

Can Philly's NFLers come back?

Boris the Sprinkler - "(She Digs My)New Wave Records"

A band from Green Bay. That might have been just what the birds needed coming at 6:19 EST.

Nuisance - "Eureka (I Found It)"

The most underrated and perhaps the best band Lookout! ever put out.

Operation Ivy - "Sound System"

Sticking with Lookout!

Against Me! - "Unprotected Sex with Multiple Partners"

One of the few popularish things I liked from the past decade.

Kate Bush - "Running Up that Hill (A Deal with God)"

I do have this habit of often liking the sole cross-over hits of certain avant-garde artists.

Ugly FG attempt by Akers. Likely game over. Not looking forward dealing with folks at work tomorrow.

There's a chance for the Eagles at the 2-minute warning. Signing off for now.

Running count: 80 songs for 2011.

Day 9

Trying to think of a theme for today, but nothing's coming up immediately.

Sick of It All - "Injustice System"


Ok, here's the theme: songs recorded at Rhode Island's Normandy Sound.

John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band - "On the Dark Side"

Didn't realize he had such an ugly schnozz.

Mission of Burma - "That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate"


Killing Time - "Fools Die"


There's some other ones, but likely better-suited for other themes.

Moving on...
Public Enemy - "Public Enemy Number One"


May be back later.

Running count: 74 songs for 2011.

Day 8 - Part 2

Yeah, some extra posts are gonna be needed with days I won't have good internet access coming up. Continuing with stuff related to Grammy noms:

Los Lobos - "How Will the Wolf Survive"

Produced by T-Bone Burnett, nominated for some soundtrack production deal.

Green Day - "1,000 Hours"

Something associated with their musical.

They Might Be Giants - "Istanbul not Constantinople"

Nominated for children's album.

Golden Palominos - "Boy (Go)"

Richard Thompson nominated for some sort of folk album.

That was a horrendous penalty by the Colts (10:41). Looks like the J-E-T-S might pull it off.

Neil Young - "Cinnamon Girl"

Nominated for best rock album.

Too much time left on the clock. Only the Sanchize can lose it.

At least it's another week of J-E-T-S Suck Suck Suck!

Slayer - "World Painted Blood"


Iron Maiden - "The Number of the Beast"

Best metal.

Running count: 69 songs for 2011.

Day 8

Let's look look at some stuff related to the Grammy nominations (from the bottom). There will be some running commentary about the football game (Go Seahawks, just don't like the Saints anymore due to the owners association with Glenn Beck.)

Das Racist - "People Are Strange"

Some Doors thing nominated for long-form video.

Penalties may win this. Crowd starting to warm up (5:11 pm EST).

Johnny Cash - "Folsom Prison Blues"

Up for short-form video, and challenging Tupac for after death output seven years on.

The Jeff Beck Group - "Beck's Bolero"

Up for some sort of production award (the engineer is up for the award for something he recently did).

This turning into a bit of a shootout, over/under is within two scores already (5:33).

The Standells - "Riot on Sunset Strip"


The Beach Boys - "Heroes and Villains"

Both songs from a nominee for best historical album. We'll revisit that category as needed.

Roky Erickson & Okkervil River - "John Lawman"


Big Star - "The Ballad of El Goodo"

On nominees for best album notes.

Over/Under will be beaten if Saints have any chance.

Pixies - "Bone Machine"

On a nominee for Best Boxed Set. Who would drop over five bills for this?

Danny Elfman - "Suite from Midnight Run"

My favorite movie with an Elfman score (up for score).

I'll likely post again tonight on the same theme.

Running count: 63 songs for 2011.

Day 7

Let's start with some HC:
Youth of Today - "Standing Hard"

Short but sweet.

Drug Free Youth - "Lost in Tyme"

Found while looking for the Abused song.

The Abused - "Loud and Clear" and "Drug Free youth"

Well, here's that song. I thought it was Straight Ahead for some reason.

Adolescents - "Brats in Battalions"

Came to mind for whatever reason.

Stan Getz - "Jazz Bossa Nova"

Came to mind when trying to think up something more mature. Ignore the Lolcats, please.

Eminem - "Stan"

First search result when I was looking for the previous song.

Explosions in the Sky - "First Breath After Coma"

Band mentioned in a conversation tonight.

...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead - "Mistakes & Regrets"

Staying in Austin (via the Northwest).

Butthole Surfers - "Sweat Loaf"

More Austin, and a killer Sabbath cover at that.

1000 Homo DJs - "Supernaut"

Another early fave Sabbath cover.

Running Count: 54 songs for 2011
