BOS tie, J. Geils (natch) and BOC.  Though I prefer the live version of "Last Days of May" from On Your Feet or On Your Knees.

The iggles made me sleepy.

another listener-curated set helmed by a veteran of 'snipeland. Expect a deep track from Exile on Main St.

nice start with a BOC bustout: "Last Days of May"

A personal favorite.  Fred's a badass.

I'll listen later.

It's not advertising, but I don't think there's a category for incidental music in television programs...

In the recently-broadcast first episode of HBO's Westworld series, during a saloon scene I was amused to
hear a barroom piano play the unmistakeable opening measures of Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun.
An instrumental cover of the Rolling Stones' Paint It Black was also used in the prelude to a bloody
robbery.

Yeah, it was kind of fun - the tinkly version of Black Hole Sun, the big, Bernsteinian Paint it Black.  Overall, not that impressed with "Westworld" (and I'm a huge fan of both westerns *and* sci-fi), but I'll give it a few more episodes, and look for little touches like this.

Very nice!

ETA:  Really liked the Little River Band track, which I'm not familiar with.  BOS Tull, because it was a pleasant surprise as nobody mentioned it in the notes...

Very cool, Mike.  I hadn't been even looking at the emails for this in a while, and when I noticed that you were the curator I had to listen.

Plus, I've finally logged into the club now from my new machine.  So much to catch up on.

I'm working from home now, I can do whatever I want.  Sadly I find myself working even more.

A longtime friend of mine, Nancy Newcomer, recently landed the drive time (3 to 7) gig on KFOX.  Haven't listened in yet (just saw the facebook post).  But anyway, give her a bump and check it out.

I don't recall anyone ever playing the Robert Plant track before.  But then, I often just tuned out on 90s sets.

I see that R. Kelley is playing Oracle on his "Buffet Tour".  I think he should open with "Cheeseburger in Paradise".

10 - David Bowie... I'll let y'all guess.  Hint:  it's the obvious answer.

Bond clip (probably Roger Moore, wasn't paying attention, but that would be right for the time) with Q

9 - Iggy Pop, Lust for Life
