20 July 2009: All Santana set
« on: July 16, 2009, 02:54:48 AM »
I'm guessing some of you got the Foghead e-mail. AL is doing an all Carlos Santana set to celebrate Santana's 62nd birthday on Monday, July 20th. AL is taking requests.

Over/Under on "Smooth"? Honestly, I don't share the hate for it.

I'd give it 2 to 1.  But I'd rather get one of the tunes from his follow-up album, Shaman: either "Love of My Life" (with Musiq Soulchild) or "You Are My Kind" (with Seal).

I thought Smooth was overplayed.

No doubt this song was overplayed, although it was much worse on Hot AC stations (25 weeks at #1 there, a record for any chart which I believe still stands). The question I have regarding it is whether people dislike it as a function of it being overplayed, or just don't care for the song to begin with.

I am going to request that, if she plays "Black Magic Woman", please give us a twin spin and lead into it with instrumental "Singing Winds, Crying Beasts", just like on Abraxas.

I'm off to have meetings all morning, enjoy the rest of your day & the weekend everybody!

overplayed for me, though I don't like Rob Thomas' voice that much, something I've discovered after hearing Smoove so much... :)

and that matchbox twenty song that sounded just like "Smooth" didn't help matters...

Thomas' then-wife sure looked good.

For me, it's mostly that it was overplayed.  While not horrible, I only thought it was mildly annoying the first time I heard it (which was on Open House Party, when John Garabedian introduced it as "new hot summer music" -- I thought that description didn't quite fit as he usually described new dance songs as that), but I would have been very willing & able to forget.  Unfortunately the Hot AC stations made sure that didn't happen.

So if AL plays "Oye Como Va", will Morgan Freeman do the backannounce?

"Jingo" and "Soul Sac" are a tad too similar to play back-to-back, IMHO.

Soul Sacrifice has the Woodstock mojo, and Jingo is the killer from the 1st album.
