Deb's Baristanet Ten

I guess I am really boring but I mainly listen to technology podcasts...

I recognize Hugh Masekela, and I think I heard of Patti Scialfa. Who are those other people?

I know, dating myself. :)

But a Top Ten list without Junior (Guitar) Brown's "You're Wanted by the Po-lice and My Wife Thinks You're Dead" just ain't a top 10...

I tunes is the devil. do not allow yourself to be assimilated.

I tunes is the devil. do not allow yourself to be assimilated.

Jeff Buckeley is fine; however, Leonard Cohen would swarm my top ten--everything from the early Teachers to the later Dear Heather....

The lengths to which the proprietors of this site will go on to fill space on really slow news days never cease to amaze and amuse me.

cathar....

.... and I keep coming back every 5 mins.

Live long Baristanet. Live long!

Speaking of music, please enjoy this flash back from the 1970's. Crystal Blue Persuasion by Tommy James and the Shondells. One of my all-time favorites:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m9d4IyCmIs

By the way, the Tommy James and the Shondells video was from the Bitter End in New York.

That you (or I, for that matter) keep coming back "every five minutes" probably says as much about the limitations of one's other intellectual interests as it does the inherent fascinations of Baristanet, prof. Or have you never thought of it quite that way?

I work best with little diversions.

Cathar -- you just responded to the prof in exactly five minutes!

Make me happy and reveal your musical preferences.

Sorry, I can't be restricted to just 10--and a special thank you to Conan for the Junior Brown tip.

Okay, Liz, I'll gladly attempt to make you happy (though not with the same kind of amative longing walleroo would probably bring to the assignment:

1 & 2) "Under Your Spell Again" and "Together Again," both from "Dwight Sings Buck," Dwight Yoakam's new cd

3)Arvo Part's "Berliner Messe" by Paul Hillier and the Theatre of Voices

4) "Rain In The Summertime," The Alarm

5) "Clara," from the Scott Walker cd "the Drift"

6) "It Just Comes Natural," George Strait

7) "Fragments Of A Prayer," John Tavener, from the non-pop soundtrack for "Children Of Men"

8) "Don't Leave Me This Way," The Communards

9) "I Can Still Make Cheyenne," George Strait

10) The entire "Porgy & Bess" album from the Modern Jazz Quartet (it's short)

And two bonus cuts because it's hard to winnow down to 12:

11) Per Norgard's "Winter Hymn," Paul Hillier & The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir

12) "Immortal Memory," Lisa Gerrard and Patrick Cassidy

And while I have no idea if all or any of the above are available via Itunes, Liz, all have been played at least 3 times during the last 2 weeks. I trust this meets your request of earlier tonight.

wooooooooooow dreams do come true.

And, Liz, I have one final addition, this one to supply some "local interest": Any cut from the two cd's by The October Project, but also "Going Home" from the solo cd by that group's former lead singer, Montclair's own Mary Fahl. She may be, unfairly, somewhat obscure, but she's worth more than passing mention on this website given all the semi-nobodies and tank-town operations already praised to the bloody gills here. Goodnight now.

My name keeps getting bandied around rather carelessly.

All right, here goes:

Tangerine (Baker)
Bye Bye Blackbird (Davis)
Miles Ahead (Davis and Evans)
Like Someone In Love (Morgan)
Kind of Blue (Davis, entire album)
Milestones (Davis, entire album, especially Billy Boy)
You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go (Dylan)
Tangled Up In Blue (Dylan)
First Symphony (Mahler)
Between the Bars (Smith)
German Requiem (Brahms)
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy (Zawinal)
Joyspring (Brown)
My Favorite Things (Coltrane)
J'Ai Deux Amours (Peyroux)

This exercise reminds me of that great British radio show Desert Island Discs, though on a desert island I'd eventually need somethign (anything) by Bach and somethign by Mozart (doesn't matter what).

I almost forgot:

Crying (Orbison)

Add Amy Whinehouses' Rehab--great chic, great music, a little f*up

Okay, no one else did it, so:

10. "Crying" by George Steinbrenner and the NY Yankees.

9. "Between Two Loves" by Paris Hilton and the Passersby.

8. "That's What you Get for Lovin' Me" by Donald J. Trump

7. "Show Me the Way to the Next Whisky Bar" by Dean Martin

6. "Don't Leave Me This Way" by any of my exes.

5. "Leonard Cohen's Greatest Hits" by Sylvia Plath

4. "Pave Paradise" by Bob Plofker

3. "Your Mind is on Vacation and Your Mouth is Working Overtime" by Any Number of Baristanet Contributors

2. "All Along the Watchtower" by Jehovah and the Witnesses

And the number one song on Conan's Top Ten:

1. "Stand By Your Man" by Hilary Clinton and Jim McGreevey.

So the marsupial is a die-hard jazz fan! Must be "somethign" (and twice!) in the springs he sips from out in the outback.

May I assume, walleroo, that you jumped in to try and impress Liz?

BOB Plofker?

It's just the Dylan in him, I guess. (Been so long without a trash-Plofker thread I musta forgot his name.)

I Remember You - Chet Baker
Just One of Those Things - Bobby Short
Autumn in New York - Sarah Vaughan
Black Coffee - Sarah Vaughan
My Baby Just Cares for Me - Nina Simone
Can't Get Out of This Mood - Nina Simone
I Feel For You - Chaka Khan

..prego !

I love Frank's list!!!!!!!!!!!!

Miss Martta's Top 10:

1. Redneck Woman-Gretchen Wilson
2. Party Gone Out of Bounds-B52s
3. Deep Feeling-Chuck Berry
4. Fire--Arthur Brown
5. So Many Nights--The Cat Empire
6. Lust for Life--Iggy and the Stooges
7. No Matter What Shape Your Stomach's In--The T-Bones
8. Nothing to Fear--Oingo Boingo
9. One Fine Morning--Lighthouse
10. Rise Above-Black Flag

Oh wait -- just popping in, now I have to look at all the rest now

Very funny, Conan.

There was a hormonally tumultuous period of my youth, Frankgg, when the sight and sound of Chaka Khan would send me into something like rapture. She seemed to be a physical impossibility, like something out of quantum physics.

I don't need to impress Liz, cathar. She was long ago completely bowled over by the sheer force of my personal charisma and intellectual brilliance.

Grazie Liz! I agree about Chaka Khan, Waterloo.

Here's my dance list -

Shame - Evelyn "Champagne" King
What a Difference a Day Makes - Ester Phillips
Love Hangover - Dianna Ross
I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor
Never Can Say Goodbye - Gloria Gaynor
Car Wash - Rose Royce
Brick House - Commodores
Love Train - O'Jays
Boggie Oogie Oggie - A Taste of Honey
You Can't Hurry Love - Dianna Ross & The Supremes
Stop! In the Name of Love - Dianna Ross & The Supremes

Chaka Khan, wee marsupial? The chorus of her biggest hit is so dopily self-referential as to astound. She is not "every woman," but then, you are not "everyman."

Walleroo, we (to borrow from Todd Rundgren) gotta get you a woman. A real woman. Minnie Pearl, maybe.

Favorites are too numerous to mention but here are some:

1-Memories Are Made Of This-Dean Martin

2-Heimdalsgate Like A Promethean Curse-Of Montreal

3-Stevie Storm-Harry Merry

4-Bottlenose Dolphin (Thanks For The Milk)-Noel Coward's Ghost

5-The Loser-Roger Joseph Manning Jr.

6-Strange Fruit-Nina Simone

7-Again and Again-The Bird and the Bee

8-Over and Over-Hot Chip

9-Play Myself Some Music-R. Stevie Moore

10-Ring of Fire-Anita Carter

Chaka Khan could have eaten Minnie Pearl for breakfast without even having to floss afterwards.

"Chaka Khan could have eaten Minnie Pearl for breakfast without even having to floss afterwards."

ROFLMAO! I got a visual of an Orca grazing among the penguins...

I think that that would make Chaka barf.

Lets not forget our own from Baristaville!

Sarah Vaughan
Tommy deVito (The Four Seasons)
Sissy Houston
Whittney Houston
Dionne Warwick

...and those "hiding in Baristaville" when they were performing in NYC:

Duke Ellington

Leanna Horne

I'm sure that there are many more.

Suddenly I See - KT Tunstall

Hey Ya! - OutKast

Weapon of Choice - Fatboy Slim

Cry On - Irma Thomas

Groove Is In The Heart -- DeeLite

Ain't No Other Man - Cristina Aguilera

You Get What You Give - New Radicals

some more:

Redman

and of course Montclair's own- Joe Walsh

oops that would be 'Greetings from Asbury Park' write I, looking at my vinyl copy of this masterpiece while I work from home on this beautiful rainy day.

Mellon, I am streaming RP as I sit at my desk thanks to your tip about a year ago - I LOVE this station.

If you like Lucinda Williams then try Gillian Welch and Susan Tedesci - fabulous vocalists.

Anyone remember the old radio station 99X??

I'm a fan of 107.1 the Peak. A great station that is hard to get (but you can stream it online).

And of course on Sirius: The Spectrum and First Wave.

(But I need my morning mix for talk: Morning Addition/Howard Stern/Brian Lehrer.)

Cheers to Mellon for the tip! I've had it on for the last four hours.

And Prof, I love the Peak, but it never comes in. Great to know it's online, thanks!

And my list of the moment...

Boogie Chillen - John Lee Hooker

The Sunny Side of the Street - Pogues

Here Comes the Flood – Peter Gabriel

The Space race is Over – Billy Bragg

Under Me Sensi - Long Beach Dub All Stars & Barrington Levy

Hooch – Everything

Hoochie Coochie Man – Muddy Waters

Use Me – Bill Withers

Sneakin Sally Through the Alley – Robert Palmer

Naked and Famous – The Presidents of the United States of America
