Thanks, Jeff. (See, I was hoping a thread like this would have prevented tears in the near future... not that there's any guaranteed lack of them! muahahahahahahahahaa)

Matos, check yr e-mail.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 1 December 2003 20:37 (twenty years ago) link

Mike, check yours

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 1 December 2003 21:04 (twenty years ago) link

Okay, I'm going to get down to business tonight. And if anyone knows a place where I can find archives of the French charts, I will be eternally grateful.

― Sarah Pedal (call mr. lee), Monday, 1 December 2003 21:20 (twenty years ago) link

my claws are clutching at precious 1959, probably ready around the end of 2003.

Jeff, you know my REAL address, right?

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 07:24 (twenty years ago) link

Damn, Jess already did 1996 (I just wanted an excuse to include "Swallowed" on something).

Has '91 been done by anyone? (If not, I'm in.)

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 07:34 (twenty years ago) link

mommy, they're taking all the years I wanted to do!

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 07:44 (twenty years ago) link

Actually, scratch that. 1991 has too many canonical choices to sift through, I think I'll look for a crappier year ('98?).

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 08:24 (twenty years ago) link

btw 2000 is done, in case anyone missed it.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 14:01 (twenty years ago) link

1976, 1986. Due date?

The Hit-Parade national was only created in oct. 1968, but some popular records of the year are listed here

― Bruno- (Bruno-), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:26 (twenty years ago) link

no, here : http://www.district-parthenay.fr/parthenay/creparth/russeilwi/1968.html

― Bruno- (Bruno-), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:29 (twenty years ago) link

You mean here. (Sarah's doing 1965.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:38 (twenty years ago) link

Is 1975 or 1971 reserved? Because I want to do one of them after 1984.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:41 (twenty years ago) link

Michael, do 1971.. that's the year I was born. I'd think you'd do an outstanding job. (hint: "things get a little easier... once you understand")

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:44 (twenty years ago) link

Heh heh heh. As 1971 is my year too, yes, Mike, go forth.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:45 (twenty years ago) link

NO! NO! NOT THAT SONG!

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:45 (twenty years ago) link

IT'S TOO LATE! HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:48 (twenty years ago) link

Ha! That's 1972.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:51 (twenty years ago) link

Oh, but wait...it peaked on the Billboard charts on January 1, 1972! Pretty damned close!

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 23:53 (twenty years ago) link

Weird.. another source ("The Worst Records" book) says 1971.

And because it peaked on New Years 1972, it HAD to have been released in 1971, no?

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:05 (twenty years ago) link

please god no MAKE IT STOP!

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:05 (twenty years ago) link

(HAHAHAHA, goddamn, what a fucked up way to musically ring in 1972. Were people possibly singing this song at New Years parties back then along with "Auld Lang Sine")

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:06 (twenty years ago) link

"Things get a little EASIER! Once Matos understands!"

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:07 (twenty years ago) link

Matos, may I remind you of "The Americans" by Bryan MacGregor, or possibly "Dear Mr. Jesus" by Powersource? Will that make the pain seem relatively small?

Don't make me bring out the big guns like The Escape Club or Robbie Nevil.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:07 (twenty years ago) link

Here's where I tried getting Nate to join the DARK SIDE.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:13 (twenty years ago) link

It needs a home, Michael. The song is orphaned. You are that foster parent.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:14 (twenty years ago) link

(The Tom T. Hall and Johnny Nash tracks I suggested are inarguably perfect, however -- even if Nate didn't use 'em.)

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:15 (twenty years ago) link

"Dear Mr. Jesus" is the black hole of popular music, from which vantage point everything looks good.

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:15 (twenty years ago) link

or possibly "Dear Mr. Jesus" by Powersource?

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:16 (twenty years ago) link

x-post to Michael...Besides, I stole Alex Chilton's "My Rival" from 1979 from Nate for the '78 comp, because he denied it too.. or just never used it.

Matos: see? Mr. Jesus makes everything seem good.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:16 (twenty years ago) link

and I'm still mystified that he didn't use ANYTHING off the first Paul Simon album! or "I Can See Clearly Now"! and and and and and....

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:16 (twenty years ago) link

I'd forgotten COMPLETELY about "Dear Mr. Jesus" until Nate blogged about it. I wrote him a very angry letter afterward. That was over a year ago and I have still not forgiven him.

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:17 (twenty years ago) link

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:18 (twenty years ago) link

I don't see how "Dear Mr. Jesus" is more atrocious than something like, oh, Gloria Estefan's "The Words Get In The Way".

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRHHHHHGGGG!!

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:20 (twenty years ago) link

Don't worry, Matos, just imagine Wayne Coyne's fingernails-on-a-chalkboard voice covering "Dear Mr. Jesus" as a B-side on The Flaming Lips' upcoming critically acclaimed release. Feeling better?

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:21 (twenty years ago) link

But WAIT! I CAN use this godawful and endless medley by Carol Bunett & Julie Andrews!

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:23 (twenty years ago) link

I'd forgotten COMPLETELY about "Dear Mr. Jesus" until Nate blogged about it. I wrote him a very angry letter afterward. That was over a year ago and I have still not forgiven him.

Don't blame me! Blame Ron "Boogiemonster" Gerber for exposing me to it in the first place! (I was playing GTA: Vice City at the time... wotta mindfuck.) More horrifying: apparently it has a b-side.

Also, sorry about the lack of "Me and Julio..." I own the 7", for godsakes, how could I forget it? ("I Can See Clearly Now" = oldies radio "familiarity breeds contempt" situation)

I need a home. :(

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:32 (twenty years ago) link

That 7" has no grooves! (in both senses of the word)

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:35 (twenty years ago) link

4 Hero respectfully disagrees with you, Nate, and invites you to eat their shiz.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:41 (twenty years ago) link

?????

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:41 (twenty years ago) link

4 Hero sampled said song for "Mr Kirk's Nightmare," IIRC.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:42 (twenty years ago) link

Have you the heard the ENTIRE song, Nate?

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:42 (twenty years ago) link

OVERDOSE!

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:42 (twenty years ago) link

Has "Mr Kirk's Nightmare" been used in someone's CD-R?

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:43 (twenty years ago) link

1991 awaits

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:43 (twenty years ago) link

Sigh, I will take the blame for this GROSS thread digression. Actually, the thought of my mom and dad jiggling me in their arms during New Years Eve 1971 singing "Things get a little easier" makes me kinda queasy now...

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 00:47 (twenty years ago) link

On the brown shag carpet with the flower stickers on the wall...

The bottom line here is further ILM-Pitchfork prejudice as I'm the only one being targeted for upstaging!!

(Excuse to remind you to please see my recently added cover in the 1986 thread if you missed it).

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Thursday, 18 December 2003 03:04 (twenty years ago) link

Actually, Ott, as more of a lurker/reader than poster, I'd forgotten you were Pitchfork. Until now, that is.

― Thomas Inskeep (submeat), Thursday, 18 December 2003 14:13 (twenty years ago) link

(me thinks Ott was nyukking us)

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 18 December 2003 15:49 (twenty years ago) link

Possibly. But remembering the Ott v. ILM "battles" of past years, one can never be certain.

― Thomas Inskeep (submeat), Thursday, 18 December 2003 17:47 (twenty years ago) link

Haven't heard from Milo about 1991. If he's ditching this, I'm taking it over. Milo?

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 18 December 2003 22:54 (twenty years ago) link

It's all yours, I gave up hope a hundred posts back. I know zilch about 1991, and no time to research. If a round two comes along, I'll give something a go then.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 19 December 2003 01:51 (twenty years ago) link

All rightie then. Thanks :)

― donut bitch (donut), Friday, 19 December 2003 04:16 (twenty years ago) link

one month passes...

I know y'all's're obsessed with the whole Rough Guide thing (which I have found myself woefully underprepared to actually contribute to sans the usual Beck/indie rap stuff) but hey, 2003. Maybe not as good as Matos', but at least it's... uh... yeah.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Thursday, 22 January 2004 03:02 (twenty years ago) link

I'll be starting a brand new page for the "Go!" community, which will have links to ALL the completed threads dedicated to each "Go!" CD... unfortunately, I'm working a fucking 70 hour work week now, so it will have to wait for the time being... (thank the gods for overtime pay)

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 22 January 2004 03:55 (twenty years ago) link

ten months pass...

Did geeta ever do 1983?

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 27 November 2004 13:30 (nineteen years ago) link

Ah - there's this thread seems to have been superseded.

The official CDR Go! thread

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 27 November 2004 15:20 (nineteen years ago) link

Sorry about the garbled English there.
