Apparently Hits From Hell was copyrighted by Dave. So much for trying to avoid "With Arms Wide Open"!
-
Per AL's FB pg:
For this Friday the 13th's 10@10: Since these days we can use all the luck we can get, introducing the Lucky 13 10@10 set! 13 good tunes for good luck and good fun! Got a lucky song you'd like to hear? Let me know. I'll get you started with one for good luck!
-
If we hear Wings' "With A Little Luck" 13 times in a row, it'll be a HFH ;)
-

Gullible Geoff says "really?"
-
Well, I'm not entirely surprised, as AL had hinted that she prefers sneaking HFHs into regular sets.
But once again sundaygal reads my mind and suggests JoBoxers' "Just Got Lucky" and Janet Jackson's "Black Cat", which I'd planned to request for the next 1990 set! Maybe we were married in a previous life?
Anyway, I'll be at an offsite training thingy tomorrow with no radio and no interwebs, so I'll catch up tomorrow nite. Keep copious notes, kids!

Your musical hag, mayhaps? ;)

AL kicks off with some unfamiliar Lovich-y New Wave, then some forgotten Elvis, "Good Luck Charm."
I'm hoping for Joan Armatrading, walking under ladders.
-
Ooh...BOS1 Lucky Number - Lene Lovich

Jeez, does the instro part of "With a Little Luck" go on for a long time.
-

BOS from me! Follows on the heels of Rod's leaden, joyless version of "Some Guys Have All the Luck."
-
Just got off BART and turned on the radio to...Just Got Lucky - JoBoxers. A good sign indeed! BOS2
-
JoBoxer "Just Got Lucky" sounds like a cut off Joe Jackson's "Night & Day" LP.
And BOS The Turtles!

Oh me, oh my, lucky guy is what I am to hear the Turtles' "She'd Rather Be With Me." Surprising choice!
-
I can't believe AL is playing this (but am happy she is)...
Lucky Star - Madonna BOS3

Mick Jagger - Lucky in Love

AL could have gone ahead and played Marlon Brando's version of "Luck Be A Lady Tonight" from Guys & Dolls, but here's the Sinatra version. He's the better singer!
-
Uber-duber BOS4 goes to Luck Be A Lady - Frank
-
WOS Frankie's "Luck Be a Lady." I hate big-band vocal delivery.
-
man, I'd hate to play poker with Mick Jagger, what with all that screming and all. "What's that? .... A ROYAL FLUUUUSH?"
sorry I missed Lene Lovich, another BOS to Frank Sinatra.
I had a friend who was in a production of Guys and Dolls in college. A lot of male theater majors were, um... not straight? So of course they referred to the show as Gays And Dolls.. heehee
Hurray! my favorite Tom Petty song!
-
Nice! AL skips the obvious Petty luck song "You Got Lucky" for "Even the Losers" (get lucky sometime)

ELP "Lucky Man"

WOS2 "Lucky Man," which is silly poetry and contradicts AL's unironic "luck" theme.

Social Distortion's Bad Luck earns a BOS proxy of Shray!
-
Loooong set today!
-
Oh holy crap I've gotta get myself some Social D. I know so little of their work. Too bad I can't see 'em Sunday.
-
Loooong set today!
We got lucky... 13 tunes!

Lucky Star - Madonna BOS3
BOS from me. Remember vividly when this came out. Never guessed she would become what she became, but the video to the song made me a fan for the moment.
-

Pretty melody though. Guilty pleasure, in my case.
-
Well I must say I would have liked to hear "Lucky" in its entirety, although I did have the feeling she was going to cut it off as soon as it came on. Especially since she played it after everything else. Not that I can complain too much; she's thrown us more than enough curveballs lately.

Did she seriously play Britney Spears?

She played about the first five seconds and then she was like "sorry Britney, we already played our 13 lucky songs." I think she did something like this with the Macarena awhile back.

That's pretty funny - I bet she played the part that goes "This is a song about a girl named Lucky", and that was it.

WOS Frankie's "Luck Be a Lady." I hate big-band vocal delivery.
er, wha?? Frank was long past his big band period by then, so I dunno *what* that means, unless you hate swingin' Nelson Riddle-ish arrangements.
Kudos to AL for one of several inspired choices there -- gotta love the Madonna too. And the Lovich tune was making its 2nd appearance in the AL era. Gawd bless AL's love of late-'70s New Wave. And while I don't dislike Rod's cover of "SGHATL", the orig by the Persuaders would've really blown my mind, I consider it as underrated as I consider "Thin Line Between Love & Hate" overrated. Looking forward to the replay.

I don't draw (or even know) a distinction between the two; I dislike it all. Sorry. :-\

While I don't normally agree with you guys awarding points for rarity, this is so out of the ordinary, it really intrigues me. Hope to hear it on the replay tomorrow.

indeed, that rivals Daryl Dragon's "Muskrat Love" noodling for anthropomorphic musicality.

This is a sample clip of the song I always think of when I hear "Lucky Man" I may have talked about it before, but I was finally able to extract a sample clip.
http://ggould.com/mp3/Minotaur.mp3
from "Moog: The Electric Eclectics of Dick Hyman" 1969. The song is called The Minotaur

Damn -- Hyman shoulda sued. And ELP's Tarkus LP is full of that kinda stuff.

Well, partly that's just the way the Moog sounded, but you do hear the resemblance I've heard too, right? He seems to cop some licks pretty directly.

too little, too late
I just remebered what would have been a good choice: Alan Price Set, title song from "O Lucky Man"

More on my Moog thread
Listen to “The Minotaur”, and you can hear where Keith Emerson cribbed some of his ideas. The track starts with a primitive drum machine track, and some early sequenced bass. On top of this, Hyman plays a short tune, and then plays variations and improvisations on the theme. The sound he uses sounds very familiar…think “Lucky Man”. Hyman’s improvisational style on “The Minotaur” seems to anticipate the chromatic style that Emerson made popular a few years later. He also uses lots of octave jumps, with the notes sliding from one octave to another. This is one of the most listenable cuts on the album because of the great playing. It’s also interesting as one of the earliest examples of jazz-rock synthesizer improvisations.
I'm not the only one who's had this impression!
