This one turned out very nicely, in my opinion. There is a nice mix of fast and slow, sweet and raunchy, hopeful and fucked.
My Girl's Retro--great song. I think there is room to make it even greater by covering it as MY GIRL IS HETERO. Chixxdiggit! indeed
A Girl Named Spike-- Mike Park and Pickles kicking ass
Caught with the meat in your mouth--vegetarian porn star dilemma. Dead Boys still sounding snotty more than 30 years on.
You just gotta blow my mind--perfect! cumming right in after "meat in your mouth" The Queers. This is end of the raunchy segment
Skinhead Girl--This is so sweet...like the story out of a book... she wore braces and blue jeans. Symarip. I saw Mr. Symarip in Chicago last October and it was epic.
Love Song--i'm like a cat, i like to sleep all the time...this is a love song, baby, and it goes out to you... Peacocks. A 3 piece with a stand up bass and great chops. Coming to Cali the first couple weeks in June. I will see them at The Blank Club in San Jose.
Girl About Town--wears a different t-shirt everyday...goes out with a boy from the MC5. It'd be ok if he didn't hit her and sleep with the baby sitter. The Queers. Reminds me of Maddy in Chicago only because she put it on her myspace.
Did You Have A Nice Life Without Me?--you made plans, I played in a band...did it all turn out the way you wanted it to be? Cock Sparrer. They have been rocking for years, but I just found out about them thanks to Cloverdale Dave. What a sound, and song writing to boot.
Sunday Girl--cold as ice cream, but still as sweet...hurry up hurry up and wait...looks like he's in another world...please cum and see what you do to me, I got the blues. Blondie. The world's biggest band that didn't totally suck in 1979. Not just new wave. They paid their dues and were punker than you.
Hey, Little Rich Girl--he's taken your freedom for a place unknown...hey little rich girl, where did you go wrong? You were a rich girl only having fun...The Specials. A great story and the music just perks along behind it and then in front.
Rudi Wedding--rudy, rudy, rudy, rudy, rudy, have your heard the latest news.. rudy got married... in a pork pie hat and a black cravat...it was a jagger jagger wedding for a jagger jagger man...you should have seen all the rude boys run! Laurel Aitken. I never saw him. What a giant. His vocals are wonderful and about halfway through there is some fine sax and then a couple of trombone passages towards the end.
Little Things--he knows the little things, the little things, they mean a lot...you see a kind man, take a step to help his fellow man...Deal's Gone Bad. It just moves along, not too fast, not too slow, then it comes back to that simple little keyboard line, and if you know the song and have had enough to drink you start to tear up. Finishes off dub-ish and perfect.
Little Girl-- you don't know me I'm an ordinary guy...I don't know your name and such, and I'd like to know so much...I see you every time...and I want to make you mine... you're sending shivers down my spine...now that I've seen you smile, I'm happy for a little while...you know I try to make it true. Dr. Ring-Ding & The Senior Allstars. Saw da Doktor in Chicago on the same trip as mentioned above. He was great. This song is so sweet and honest.
So... Adam and Donelle-- this episode is for you. I hope it brings a smile to your lips, and just maybe a tear to your eye. I wish the best for you. And I'll see you down front!
love,
Miles
