Day 74

Ides of March - "High on a Hillside"

I already played "Vehicle". This is much more Am Goldish.

Back to tourney match-ups...Game 1 tomorrow features UTSA vs. Alabama State:
The Nuns - "Suicide Child"

Originally from San Antonio.

Clarence Carter - "Strokin'"

Alum of Alabama State. Unfortunate career trajectory.

And VCU-USC...
Pavement - "Gold Soundz"

Drummer Steve West attended VCU (and excused me from playing either Lamb of God or Gwar).

Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass Band - "Rise"

USC alum more notable for co-founding A&M Records.

On to Thursday...first game is the winner of the current game (Clemson/UAB) vs. West Virginia.

Th'Inbred - "Jesus Youth/Satan Youth"

Took a bit of research but they were from Morgantown and I'll assume some sort of connection to the U. It was pretty close between this and a Don Knotts comedy clip.

Next up is Old Dominion-Butler.
N*E*R*D - "Lapdance"

N*E*R*D/Neptunes guy Chad Hugo attended before hooking up with Pharrell Williams.

Jonestown Massacre Newsreel Footage

Alum of Butler. Sorry if this is too much of a bummer, but I thought it was more relevant than the band Jonestown, Jim Jones and the Kool Aid Kids (I'm pretty sure that was a real band) or Guyana Punchline.

Game 3 on Thursday is Morehead State-Louisville.
Nothing on the former, other than Chuck Woolery. I'll spare since this is a music blog.

Squirrel Bait - "Kid Dynamite"

Again, I'll assume a connection with the local U.

Game 4: Penn St-Temple
Believe it or not, nothing of note from the former but...
Hall & Oates - "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)"

Met up at Temple.

Running count: 468 songs for 2011.
