Ok, AL. Whatever.
-
she's in FGM (Full Giggle Mode) today.. Yeehaw!
-
Cheeze Louise, did we HAVE to start with "Sweet Home Ala-bummer"??
-
AL playing AL...good one.
So does this mean we get a "classic" (from three weeks ago) tomorrow?
-
So what do you think is coming? Ohio, Hotel California, Massachusetts, Texas Twister, New Hampshire (!), Mississippi Queen, Arkansas Traveller?
-
Think we'll hear the BeeGee's Massachusetts? Carolina
on In My Mind? Deep In the Heart of Texas? Cheap Trick's California Man (or the original by the Move)?
-

Hah! Looks like the skunked both of us on the California tune, Dave. Not a problem--California Girls is just as good a choice. (Now if she'd played LL Cool J's Goin Back to Cali that would have REALLY set me on my ear.)

I bet we do. She prob has the day off?

I don't really need to hear Hotel California any more. It's a great track, but played out. Now if she'd played Diamond Dave's version of "California Girls", well, that would be something. Not sure what it would be.

Cheap Trick would have been great. I would also have accepted Diamond Dave's version of California Girls. I would like Mainline Florida!
As long as we don't hear New York State Of Mind I'm good.

either we get the set where she played X's "4th of July" or we get a Morey Classic with his voice cut out and AL doing a new intro/outro.

And we missed on Texas, too. Either of our picks would have been as good as Chris Rea.
Btw, I just got a hint from the player of what we have in store. Don't peek if you don't want to blow the surprise (but I'm pretty sure it's a bustout).
-
Interesting choice with Chris Rea's "Texas" (don't know if that's really what it's called). Not a great song, but rare, fer sure. Woulda liked to hear a little Lyle Lovett for this state.

I guess it's not coming from vinyl ;)

uber-BOS "Massachusetts" -- wait, who is this?
-
Ding ding ding! We have two hits with Massachusetts!
Mike: da Bee Gees.
Dang, that's a short song.

That's Right (You're Not From Texas) would have been nice indeed.
I see we both nailed the BeeGees song. One out of three ain't bad. Except this sounds more like the Moody Blues Jayhawks than the BeeGees.

ok, i'll pull back on hat one. It's pretty good. Sometimes BJ makes me go Ack Ack Ack! (dirty pun sorta intended)
-

er, no, it wasn't the Bee Gees, that's why I asked. Nice cover, but I'd've preferred the orig.
-
JT goes to Carolina. he's gonna hook up with Mark Sanford and "hike the Appalachian Trail", heh heh.
ETA: this isn't JT's orig either -- he re-did it, I guess.

Really? I wish I'd listened more closely, 'cause I thought it was them.

And scores another point for Jim!
-
Mike wins!
eta: I'll be a New York state of mind in a couple weeks. Hello Katz's Deli, Met Museum, Cloisters, mebbe a B'Way show, mebbe a Long Island day trip. Suggestions from residents (current and former) welcome!

Woo Hoo! BOS2 BJ in a Noo Yawk S-O-M.

They didn't vary from the BeeGees arrangement, but I'm pretty sure it was someone else, too.
Looks like we're finally on AL's wavelength. Sorry, Tink, here's that BJ tune you were dreading. But as an ex-pat New Yorker, I guess you're entitled.
-
Got my rescheduled phone meeting in about three minutes. So no cryptic song references from here on out, y'all--and be sure to post who was covering Massachusetts. :D

I could write a book. Breakfast at Elephant & Castle on Greenwich Ave near 12th. No relation to the chain of the same name. I've been eating there since 1978. Best French Toast on the planet. Good Burgers too. More as I think of it.

Shout out to Oregon
-
What the hell is this Oregon song? Sounds like a duet with Dolly Parton and Axl Rose.
I guess this is Loretta Lynn with Jack White.
BOS for Mr. Zappa.

Hah! AL must be Rocky Mountain High!
-
OMFG!!! uber-BOS5 John Denver -- is this his first-ever 10@10 appearance? I am gobsmacked.

Damn, missed it! But my meeting was a quickie, so I'm back in time for John Denver and Rocky Mtn High (which was the surprise that I spotted on the player).
-
LOL @ Miss South Carolina. I figure she wouldn't be able to resist.
BOS's to Texas and Massachusetts. For being a non-year set it's suprisingly not dry.
Who could be in store...Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen (or by Melissa Ferrick?)

The player shows six songs into the future?

Not quite--we heard Thank God I'm A Country Boy in a HFH set about 4 years ago. But in the DB, that's all she wrote.

No, it just says "Upcoming" which it was, it just didn't say when. ;)
BOS2 Georgia! The classic! (With Willie's a close second, of course.)
-
Lawd have mercy. Brotha Ray! BOS6 -- AL keeps topping herself.

Sometimes it lags a few minutes - never seen it in advance.

Straaaange. Would certainly have expected it to be the next song.

That was NOT the BeeGees. The falsetto harmonies just weren't there. WTF, AL, WTF?
-
Well, AL says it was the Bee Gees. Maybe an alternate (single?) version?
My feeble search for covers didn't turn up anything...

BOS, JD. This was the first album I ever owned. I was about 10 or 11 at the time

in yesterday's backsell she said the Social Distortion tune was from Sonic Youth. I'm just sayin'.

I just emailed her -- she's usually good about replying.

Heard everything but the Skynyrd (no great loss) in the car. Pretty good set, and a theme that I don't believe Dave ever attempted, so props for both concept & execution.
Nothing wrong with Ray Charles, and this is woefully obscure, but if she'd played "Don't Want To Die In Georgia" by Brewer & Shipley, it would have made my year. And I would have been almost as excited if she'd worked in "Arizona Skies" by China Crisis, but I think Rob has played that & I know Ginger did once.
But since either of those would be ginormous longshots, I at least was hoping for a helping of early 70's cheese from amongst the following:
"Arizona" - Mark Lindsay
"Indiana Wants Me" - R. Dean Taylor
"The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia" - Vicky Lawrence
-
I would like Mainline Florida!
and it's yer boner, er, bonus... o-TAY?

Not much of a choice for the bonus track. I mean, she didn't get a choice. What's up with that?

My theory is that AL tries to make up for being too obscure in the set by playing a really obvious bonus. It's been the rule in the last few weeks.

That's the impression I get, too. Its like 10at10 is my time to go wild, but bonus track time means I'm back to the Corp Radio playlist.

New on me - and I thought it was the Bee Gees version we were hearing.
But check out who covers "Massachusetts" on this comp (http://www.secondhandsongs.com/medium/19632) - a name I hadn't thought about in a while. Shock, shock, horror, horror, shock, shock, horror!

Man, I tuned in during Loretta and Jack's "Portland, Oregon" and was totally confused. I knew the song was too new to be in a 10@10 and thought they had finished the marathon early.
I was about to call in tell them "YEAH!" because I love that song and wish they'd play it more.
Should've known it was too good to be true that they'd be playing it during normal hours. :-P
