27 Jan 2017: it's...Chinese New Year
« on: January 27, 2017, 08:28:32 AM »
A Chinese New Year set, perhaps? It's the year of the Rooster (or the Cock, if you prefer).

Listening now. Schedule permits...

Think he'll play a bunch of chicken songs? Or, errr, cock songs?

The set doesn't appear to be on SoundWaves yet, but it's on MixCloud.

No cocks, just Chinese stuff. Like the China Grove. And fun times with Monty Python.

Very odd song about Living in China. No clue about this one. Men Without Hats?

ETA: That's them.

A rarity from Billy Joel! "Great Wall of China", I'm guessing.

Little known alternative fact - the Mongols paid for the GWoC.

And they were happy to do it!

No surprise from David Bowie. Shoulda played Iggy's version.

The dude singing this "White China" song sounds familiar, but I can't place it. Apparently, there were a lot of people thinking about China in the 80s.

Tori's "China" is OK, but meh. A bit precious.

Alice in Chains' "Rooster" is a nice finish.

Speaking of, that Great Wall movie with Matt Damon looks utterly craptastic.

GWoc is from the underrated "River Of Dreams", which I guess effectively was Joel's swan song.

Don't forget the 20% "surcharge" for BBQ.
