LFO - Summer Girls

Jason...

Hey, I was running out of songs with 'Summer' in the title.

Actually, maybe the best explanation is I was going through my mother's garage when I found the case with the 45's I had bought as a kid. As I looked over the titles, I thought to myself, "Whoa, I was a Disco Queen when I was younger...." :D

Funny I was listening to "Big Mouth Strikes Again" just tonight.  Man the guitar work by Johnny Marr is awesome in that song.  One of my favorites for sure.

Absolutely, Ponty, that song is great. I like the backup singer that sounds almost like a young kid.

Knowing Morrisey it probably was a young kid. I will leave it at that

Now question, are you copying and pasting all these titles or spending the time to write them all out? Must take a while, I would have given up after about song 5 on CD1.

Here is one I just thought of ...

"Just Got Lucky" Joboxers

[Jason Harris 31]

"Brave Captain" fIREHOSE

"Shake and Slide" dead low tide

"good morning, captain" Slint

"stupid puma" Don Caballero

"The Barbarian" Emerson Lake and Palmer

"Pink Moon & Road" Nick Drake

I don't know the other songs by title, but I really like Pink Moon by Paul Drake.

It also illustrates how I come to know some of these obscure songs. I remember liking Pink Moon in a VW commercial, so I'll went to the web and searched 'song' 'VW' 'Passat' 'commercial'. Or I'll stay until the end of the credits at a movie to try to figure which song played in That Scene. Then I'll record a message on my cellphone so I don't forget the song when I'm at the computer later.

I dont know if Zeppelin or Floyd or any other consistent classic rock band for that matter. Most of their music is pretty obscure considering the songs you hear on the radio to the amount of songs theyve made and they are all pretty damn good.

[Jason Harris 31]

Here is one I just thought of ...

"Just Got Lucky"  Joboxers

That's a great song, Ponty -- I'm pretty sure it made it to one of my mixes. I really loved the music from the early 80's.

Now question, are you copying and pasting all these titles or spending the time to write them all out? Must take a while, I would have given up after about song 5 on CD1.

Too true, Trucks. I was typing the names, but then I realized I could copy and past the song titles from the Playlists.

Hit on the Lifeguard

Pass the tanning butter

Here comes a stingray

There goes a manta-ray

In walked a jelly fish

There goes a dog-fish

Chased by a cat-fish

In flew a sea robin

Watch out for that piranha

There goes a narwhal

HERE COMES A BIKINI WHALE!

If you havent heard of them they must be obscure. No Im a little younger then you Im guessing and those are some songs back from the early Big Shiny Tunes days that I may hear on the radio once a year if Im lucky. I also believe they are all Canadian bands that were only popular in Canada so if you live in the States youve probably never heard of them.

XM created a Canadian channel that I've listened to a few times. When it comes to rock, there definitely is a Canadian sound, which I like. Indeed, one of the mixed mini-discs I made a few years ago were all Canadian bands.
