I'm digging it!

As an agnostic, it's nice to have an anthem since there aren't many. If you hadn't posted this, I would have! Great choice!

Re: Star Maker Machine: Circuses and Carnivals: State Fair

I associate them with the fair, it's pretty much the only place I ever get them...they've been there as long as I can remember, I'm 32.

Thanks for the corrections, I will change the post accordingly.

I love your take on this song!

I'm glad you like it! I searched for pictures of bears hibernating and this came up. Not quite hibernation, but I had to use it, it was just too perfect.

Re: Soundtrack Songs (Holiday Edition): Baby It’s Cold Outside

Anne — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 11:01:05 -0000

I worked at a department store over the last 2 years and they played this song all...year...long. It was especially infuriating to hear it in mid-July when it was 95 degrees outside. So despite never having any beef with this song before, I now sorta hate it. Also, nothing says Christmas like a song about date rape. So weird!

Re: Discoveries: Rid of Me

Anne — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 12:08:47 -0000

Oops, I apparently forgot about that! Alas, I don't have a lot of discovery stories and I can't change the fact that this is the song that he played for me. But the song bears repeating anyway.

Re: Blank and Blues: You Blues

Yes I did hear! You'll have to go to that Boston show and tell me about it.

Hah! Thanks for thinking of me. I didn't have many ideas this week. My options are usually pretty minimal since I've been trying to stay within the before 2000 thing since it cuts out 80% of my collection. So I was glad to have a good Juliana song that fit!

Glad to hear it! I too first heard the TMBG version and then later heard the original.

I posted Abba once here before, so you're in good company (well, I guess depending on who you ask!)! I love Abba, though this song was never one of my favorites, probably because it had one of the guys singing though.

Re: Retrospective: Tangerine Speedo

Nothing comes to mind other than that one, and even that one isn't an absolute. A number of the contributors like folk and bluegrass, and all of us tend to like mostly non-commercial, but that's a personal thing and not a rule.

Re: Christmastime: Christmas Face

Anne — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:30:07 -0000

Haha! I work at a department store and they play 4 different versions of "Baby It's Cold Outside", none of which are the classic Ella Fitzgerald one. If I never hear that song again it will be too soon. Glad I am not alone.

I too was really into Jewel when her first album came out, I don't think it's anything to have to hide, a lot of us were. I still enjoy her older stuff. I have a few bootlegs (I was even considering posting one for the "early" theme) that feature Steve Poltz, they're a good musical pair.

Re: Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse: Luka

Anne — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 00:38:10 -0000

I'm glad someone posted this. It was one of the first I thought of but I didn't have it myself.

I had a distinct memory associated with this song. They used to play it on the radio when it first came out, I must have been in about 4th grade at the time. I was at a friend's house and we were playing in her driveway and singing this song and her older sister walked by and said "you guys do know that song is about abuse, don't you?" because we were singing it so happily. We hadn't had a clue.

Re: Songs called songs: Tiger Mountain Peasant Song

Anne — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 01:38:26 -0000

I didn't know about such a rule until I posted Jenny Lewis and someone commented. As far as I am concerned, as long as you love it and stand behind it, and it fits the theme, it oughta be fair game.

I don't have this album yet, but I'd like to. There's a beautiful cover of this song by First Aid Kit you should check out if you've not heard it yet.

Re: Basslines: Oz is Ever Floating

I was considering it! :P

I've always loved Dolly as a person, I love her persona. More recently I've loved her music too...and this post is a coincidence since last night I just watched "9 to 5" for the first time. I loved it. :P

I'm waiting for "Cat's In The Cradle" myself.

Yay for posting Deb Talan! I need to find one of her solo albums, myself. I heard her song "Unraveling" before I ever heard of the Weepies and it still remains one of my favorites.

Re: Metals: Brass In Pocket

Anne — Sat, 30 May 2009 13:39:50 -0000

I thought you'd be posting one of the metal songs done by our namesake! (Cold Blue Steel, Tin Angel)

Re: Metals: Going For The Gold

Anne — Fri, 29 May 2009 12:44:46 -0000

I've noticed this as well. I am one of the few who are not polarized, though. I think he's okay. I see both sides. His voice is annoying, but I think he's a talented songwriter.

Re: Metals: Brass In Pocket

Anne — Thu, 28 May 2009 22:03:23 -0000

As much as I prefer your theory over the money one, all the websites I've read agreed that it was indeed about money. Brass and bottle are both British slang words apparently, as are some of the other interesting words in the song, like the above mentioned.

I hadn't heard the one without her until you posted it here. Yeah, after hearing the one with Exene, you can't go back.
