Only cover of "Feel Like Makin' Love" worth watching. Very worth watching.

One good thing about the death of the monoculture is we'll never get something like Madonna's cover of "American Pie" becoming a massive worldwide hit despite everyone thinking it was a horrible idea again.


(Actually, it looks like it only went to #29 in the US. Glad Americans in '00 were at least united in protecting Don MacLean's dignity.)

Thanks to Dollar Tree, I officially hate Kajagoogoo.

The Hooters “And We Danced” is on the Mt. Rushmore of songs I most frequently hear at Walgreens.

 

[Valeyard]

I have a soft spot for it, however I don't know if I want melodicas interfering with my pharmacy time like that.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I've had this stuck in my head since I heard it play in the grocery store two nights ago. Not a hater but late era Sheryl Crow? Why can't they just play something from Tuesday Night Music Club or The Globe Sessions like a normal grocery store.

 

[Valeyard]

She lost me when "My Favorite Mistake" was written about Clapton.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

It definitely pisses me off that prime Sheryl Crow dated Pilgrim era Eric Clapton.

Then again in era that I just posted from, she was dating Lance Armstrong so I suppose she had terminally awful taste in men.

 

[Fall of Epic]

Does every nail salon need to play that annoying Sophie B. Hawkins track?

Finally the John Waite documentary that @Valeyard has been waiting for.

 

[Valeyard]

"Keep Feeling Fascination" rules and makes me want an 80s montage of some kind.

 

[Fall of Epic]

Been a minute since I've heard "She Likes Me For Me" but the local BJs doesn't disappoint.

 

[Valeyard]

That is the worst song ever recorded. I will die on that hill. Nothing worse.

 

[Fall of Epic]

Cranberries' "Linger" is not what I expected to be played at a Home Depot.

 

[Valeyard]

"The Way You Love Me" by Faith Hill is a fascinating song. I've got this weird obsession with that period in the late 90s-early 2000s where country and pop weren't fully integrated but they were trying, so you'd get pop mixes of country songs or country covers of pop songs. I'm in favor of random shit like this.

My friend saw Charles Robinson buying a Bad English record yesterday at a used record store, @Valeyard. Should have told Lil Naitch to come here and post ITT.

 

[BUTT]

Just heard the shittiest imaginable dance version of “Edge of Seventeen.”

Soft Rock Documentary Sometimes When We Touch Coming to Paramount+

The three-part series arrives on the platform in January

pitchfork.com

Is Darryl McDaniels on call for any documentary about 20th century music? "Hello? You need me to share a few thoughts on Gregorian monks? Yo, I'm there in an hour!"

Although given his favorite singer is Sarah McLachlan, he probably does love older soft rock too.

 

[BUTT]

Not sure if this counts but I heard "18 and Life" last night in a gas station (which has a Dunkin and a Subway inside). Nice Xmas eve treat.

 

[Incandenza]

Concrete Blonde's "Joey" followed by Genesis's "I Can't Dance" at the store this morning got me in somewhere in the feels

He’s right though.

 

[Valeyard]

Wait he isn't already?

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

He is only in as a member of Genesis (and even then, they weren’t inducted until 2010).

 

[Fall of Epic]

The local laundromat was blaring "Come To My Window" and I think we've officially jumped the shark

 

[Fall of Epic]

Seal's cover of "Fly Like An Eagle" during an evening grocery run. Deserves more respect.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

It’s better than the original tbh. Dumb rocker Steve Miller Band is way better than corny, trying to be profound Steve Miller Band

 

[Fall of Epic]

Seal in general deserves more respect. He deserves more than being "the guy who sang that song from that one Batman movie".

 

[BUTT]

Just heard “Don’t Change,” the only good INXS song, as I was checking out.

 

[strummer]

"I Want To Know What Love Is" by Foreigner while having dinner out tonight.

Meeting at the intersection of Vale's Supermarket Music thread and Vale's The Who thread is how friggin sick Pino Palladino's bass playing is on Paul Young's "Every Time You Go Away".
