We're hearing a lot of Yes lately on all three 10@10s.  (Sorry, but I find myself forgetting who exactly plays what anymore; it all blurs together.)

Later, Geoff. Excellent avatar. Hmm. Maybe I'll try and find an Original Series Scotty for mine....

Songs that use chess metaphors:

Yes, "I've Seen All Good People"
Murray Head, "One Night in Bangkok"
Jefferson Starship, "Devil's Den"

I'm sure there are a ton more ...

Morning, all!

Dude! it's prog rock -- as if I didn't OD on it last nite :wink:

Mr Plant was fab, the sound a bit tinny (or maybe it's my aging ears). Highlight for me: "That's the Way", but then I've always had a jones for LZ3.

Gaz! it's Dave Edmunds!

Have a nice trip--enjoy the heat. Planning on hitting the links up there?

I'm not going to do my usual anti-Dave Edmunds screed here; I'm just going to ask one simple question: What did he do with his voice in the production?  Is it just cranking the treble a la CCR's "Suzie Q" and the Monkees' "Tapioca Tundra"?  Or more complex than that?

The whipping of Mr. Slave is perfectly in time with "Knocking"'s beat, which makes both infinitely more entertaining.

Proxy Mshray BOS to Badfinger's "Day After Day."  IIRC, this is an Urth fave as well.  (I'm far more partial to "Baby Blue," myself.)

VHM Badfinger, which Bob played the other day in a fab set that Dave will have to work hard to beat.

BOS1: Badfinger! Been in a major BF mode of late, courtesy of the 3 albums of theirs in my iTunes library (No Dice, Straight Up, Magic Christian Music). They were a lot more talented than they get credit for.

No, not just you (or your ears). I think it's that room--makes the higher end stand out. And I'm with ya on Zep3--between that and Gallows Pole I was a happy camper last night (or maybe it was the beer...)

Shootin dope! Losin' hope!

Damn, I was hoping that cloudburst signalled "In the Rain" by the Dramatics, and not "Riders on the Storm"...

Has anyone ever heard the Snoop Dogg "cover" of "Riders on the Storm"?

Shootin' dope!  (Shootin' dope!)
Losin' hope!  (Losin' hope!)

There's something about this PSA and Sly's "Running Away" that sound exactly like I remember the early '70s feeling, if that makes any sense -- as if I have some vestigial sound-memories of the things I don't remember seeing or feeling.

Doors sounding nice.  I predict Dave finishes off with Elton's "Friends."

I like how the "sixxx-sixxx-sixxx" was in time with the shuffle of "Draggin' the Line."  Could have done without Harold and Sally, though.

If he had put THAT much effort into it I wouldn't complain. But, basically he does this lil talky intro that makes no sense. Then, instead of just sampling- he, like, plays the whole song. Oh, but he'll add little bits here & there....

Morrision: Riders on the storm...
Snoop: (whispered) ride, ride, ride...
Morrision: Riders on the storm....

and so on.

have we heard H&M one too many times?

"I think that's a 'yes', don't you, Harold?"

KFOG is plugging "H&M the Musical" and Dave is pretty psyched. Interesting Mick LaSalle rumination on H&M in yesterday's Chron (like me, he's only just recently seen it for the first time).  He dissed Cat Stevens, the bastard!

This is a beautiful song.  Very guitarry for EJ.

BOS to "Family Affair."  So frightening, yet so irresistible; so genius, yet so sloppy.  An amazing track, if not the easiest listen.

Snoop not making sense? that's a "chronic" problem with Mr Dogg, no?

Gets another BOS from me as well, and one for Surf's Up, too.

Very nice set today, and on a Wednesday, too! This may mean we're going to 1984 on Friday.

I'm no stranger to the sweet leaf myself and I can make pancakes.

Mmm, I'm hungry.

Huh?

But, seriously- the intros like, "Hey, tell me that story I like"... blah.. blah.. and then the song. I'm, like, "Uh, what the fuck does this have to do with the song?". I don't even know what 'Riders on the Storm' is really about but I know that intro was half-assed.

Wonderful set. Great surprise, I was expecting an 80's set. My BOS is Day After Day and didn't get to hear the Lee Michaels bonus track but I like it.
Enjoyed the ballgame today with fab weather. We lost but what the hell. Walked right past Noah Lowery in Momo's after the game, didn't recognize him but my girlfriend did and stopped to chat (I kept walking, Damn!). He acknowledged the talent of the Braves and Smoltz.

Do many of the Giants hang out at Momo's post-game?  I never got around to going there while living in the neighborhood.

I think they may. Keep in mind it was a day game and they have they day off today. Drinking was the ticket yesterday. :wink:
