Redding "Bob" week of 1/14/13

[RGMike]

Mon 1/14/13: Monday Songs

Sir Bob & his rats (of course) to start.

Mr Buffett before he became a cliche.

F.Mac, "Monday Morning" -- no surprise there.

ooo! BOS Duran² "New Moon on Monday"

wow: "Monday Thru Friday" by Cliff Richard is NTM. I couldn't even tell you what year this is from.  Not a charted single in the US. (ETA: it's from '79 -- same LP as "We Don't Talk Anymore". Live'n'learn.)

uber-uber-LN: "Monday Monday", tho' necessary in this context I guess. Ditto "Manic Monday"

BOS2 New Order "Blue Monday"

1  Boomtown Rats/I Don't Like Mondays
2  Jimmy Buffet/Come Monday
3  Fleetwood Mac/Monday Morning
4  Duran Duran/New Moon on Monday
5  Cliff Richard/Monday thru Friday
6  Mamas and Papas/Monday Monday
7  Bangles/Manic Monday
8  New Order/Blue Monday
9  Kylie Minogue/I Can't Get Blue Monday Out of My Head

That Kylie thing -- essentially a mash-up of her "can't Get It Out of My Head" and "Blue Monday" -- was NTM. Odd choice; they seemed desperate to avoid the Carpenters.

Tue 1/15/13: what's "NEW"?

INXS, "NEW SensatioLN" to start; JB's got a brand NEW bag. And an LN2.

Everclear, "I Will Buy You a NEW Life"

WOS1 Yael Colbie Bareilles Feist, "NEW Soul"

Miss Patti LaBelle gots her a "NEW attitude", gurl!

Huey Parker Lewis Jr, "I Want a NEW Ghostbuster"

LN3: Iggles "NEW Kid in Town"

OMG: an Iggles twin-spin! VHM "Funky NEW Year", just 'cause it's one you never hear. "Nurse... I'm worse!"

LN4: U2 "NEW Year's Day"

[RGMike]

Wed 1/16/13: It's COLD up in here!

Didn't hear an intro but the first song is "ICE Ice Baby"... uber-WOS, nowhere to go but up from here.  "Word to ya mutha".

VHM "COLD as Ice", still one of Foreigner's best 45s.

uber-LN: "Long COOL Woman"

BOS1: "10th ave FREEZE-out"; BOS2 Ms Benatar, "Fire & ICE".

oy: Katy Perry, "Hot 'n' COLD"

Ha! VHM "Funky COLD Medina"

BOS3 Stones "She's So COLD".

[RGMike]

Thur 1/17/13: Red & Gold (for the Niners, presumably)

1  Fixx/Red Skies
2  Peter Gabriel/Red Rain
3  Prince/Little Red Corvette
4  UB40/Red Red Wine
5  Spandau Ballet/Gold
6  Fleetwood Mac/Gold Dust Woman
7  Sting/Fields of Gold
8  America/Sister Golden Hair
9  David Bowie/Golden Years

Fri 1/18/13: Atlanta vs. SF (artists from both cities)

instant BOS Outkast (ATL), "Hey Ya"

"rockabye" -- Shawn Mullins is from Atlanta? I always assumed Tennessee.

"Athens is close enuf to Atlanta" to play REM, he says. LN1 "Stand"

I guarantee one of the SF artists is Train.

WOS Black Crowes, yes they ram.

Well, I suppose the Dead were inevitable, and a deep cut impossible but uber-uber-LN "Touch of Grey"

also predictable, given "Bob"s target demo: Green Day.

Oy: uber-uber-LN2 Steve Miller "Rock'N'Me"

Oy²: "We Built This LN3" followed by "L(N4)ights".

In spite of the inevitable LN-deluge, this is actually not a bad idea.
