NMT 115

It's Amanda's Baby-daddy's birthday. It's sushi and staring at goats tonite. Happy Birthday brother.



Our pick this week is sort of a continuation of last weeks. I mentioned them as being one of the band's the lead singer was in. the Duplex sort of came about all this backwards. We found the Brad CD because of Stone's involvement and in the days of pre-Internet, we couldn't' research anything about it (in them days, you just had to know and that made you stronger). My roommate went to a management training thing for her company (where she had an eccentric roommate who ironed everything-even her panties. Who does that?) and she brought home a whole box of free Cd's. We listened to all of them (no cable) and most of them sucked, but we found this one and quickly realised it was same guy. This gave us endless pleasure.

This song always stuck out for me and I really love the chorus. Oh, and they have a Reservoir Dogs fetish, which you'll note from the song titles.


So, from Seattle, WA:


Satchel - "Mr. Pink":






Bonus Tracks:

From their album "Sausage parties and other fairy tales":

Jury duty sucks.


Our pick this week comes to us from the great, great land of the far, far away: Seattle. It's a bit of a side-project of guys from bigger bands (ok, one guy from a big band and others from ones you should know). It was a collaboration between Stone from Pearl Jam and Shawn Smith from Satchel (and like 1400 other bands. Low Fidelity All-Stars used his band Pigeonhed's song for their lone hit "Battleflag", and I'm sure you've heard his "wrapped in my memory" on a commercial somewhere. HBO used it once). Their first record was a favorite at the Poinciana duplex, a billion years ago.

This song is off their second record and I just think it's a wonderful song, which is odd since it's quite hopeful and upbeat (two things I am most certainly not).


So, from Seattle, WA:

Brad - "The Day Brings":







Bonus Tracks:






I Miss the 90's:

For those of us in the know; always the "other" Breeders song. And yes, that's Tanya Donelly on guitar. Post-Throwing Muses and right before she formed Belly.

Our pick this week is one of the greatest cover songs of all time. It is only related to the original in that it has the same lyrics and melody, but great cover songs are usually when a band takes a song and makes it their own-and that they did. It was always held in high regard if you could break out the drum beat during band practice. (good luck getting it out of your head)

This band has more great moments than the one song you all know, but it's ok. They were one of the first bands to use music videos to their advantage and be creative and not just have the band miming their song on-stage.

The band is From Akron, OH, which is 20 min or so north of Canton, OH, so you bitches needs to recognize. Also, the lead singer, Mark Mothersbaugh, does a lot of televiision score work. He does the music for Yo Gabba Gabba and most of those Noggin shows you Moms let your kids watch (or will. Yeah, everybody says they're not going to let TV babysit their kids, then you get one. You also said you were going to save your frisbee for that special someone. Nick-on-demand was invented by a mommy.).



So, from Akron, OH:


Devo - "(I can't get no) Satisfaction:





Bonus Tracks:


Speaking of Akron:





Random Pick of the Week (O, it's back, bitches):

Apparently, this is the greatest piece of Eye-doing it ever put on film. Or at least that's what our resident perverts in Atlanta and Austin said.

LIfe is pretty rough when your boyfriend is a total ass.


OUr pick this week is the last song we heard before getting out of the car. I realized I actually hadn't heard it in a while, even though previously I had heard it about 450 times. That number drops when you stop listening to the radio. It is a really good song and on of the great classic rock songs.

You tend to forget that after you hear it for the 14th time in a day.


From Boston, MA:


Aerosmith - "Dream on":




Bonus Tracks:


Mention it in passing and presto:
