Title: 2 June 2011: It's... The Bo Diddley Beat
Post by: sundaygal on June 01, 2011, 07:45:09 PM
It's AL's turn to pay homage to the Bo Diddley Beat. 

I figured we'd get the usual suspects, so I've requested The Smiths (How Soon Is Now?), The Clash (Hateful) & The Strokes fabulous (Last Nite).  I was on the fence with this one...but Dramarama (Anything, Anything) has the beat...or am I imagining it?

So we're celebrating death anniversaries now?  ;)

Funny, I was predicting '80s tomorrow and hopiing for 1967 on Friday -- the 3rd of June, another sleepy dusty delta (birth)day.

Dave's Diddley set from 3 years ago:

1.   Bo Diddley - Bo Diddley     
2.   Bow Wow Wow - I Want Candy     
3.   Rolling Stones - Not Fade Away     
4.   David Bowie - Panic in Detroit (BEST OF SET!!)     
5.   Eric Clapton - Willie & the Hand Jive     
6.   George Thorogood & the Destroyers - Who Do You Love     
7.   Bruce Springsteen - She's the One     
8.   George Michael - Faith     
9.   Pretenders - Cuban Slide     
10.   U2 - Desire     
 
BONUS TRACK:  Beck - Black Tamborine

Mmmmm.... Cuban drinks.

for those unaware, an Old Cuban is in the Mojito family, only substitute champagne for club soda and serve "up" rather than on-the-rocks.

6 mint leaves
1 ounce simple syrup (or less, to taste)
3/4 ounce fresh-squeezed lime juice
1 1/2 ounces Bacardi 8 (or substitute another medium-bodied gold rum)
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Ice
2 ounces chilled champagne

They don't call him "Slow Hand" for nothing. Never really liked this themed set when Dave did it.

Shave and a haircut, two bits.

Well, it was my suggestion, but I guess the charm is lost in the mists of time, and also there's a guitar angle that most folks don't pick up on.

I will BOS it...  One man's tedious is another's, "Hey, that's a pretty cool jam."

Also BOS to Bowie and Stones. 

And to Swellagant's Clapton comment -- It's better to burn out than to Not Fade Away.   

Whatever that means.  I have a serious head cold and my brain is fuzzy.  Bleh. :-\
