hahaha yeah
That's a good album though - fine starting point if you're curious about McDonald-era Doobies beyond the singles.

I looked it up to find the Doobie version of "You Belong to Me".
It'd be hard to beat Carly or Anita anyway, but I thought MM would be up for it since he co-wrote the damn thing. Was kinda disappointed.
But hey, that pun title/bizarre photo manipulation of an album cover made up for it.

I've actually looked at the Livin on the Fault Line cover at least a dozen times and it never hit me until now that it's really fucking weird.

Ooh, Spotify playlist. I didn't have Spotify when we did this so never followed. If you chuck the Foghat song, it's eerie how close the top 10 from "Reaper" to "Magic Man" comes to my taste.

I looked up "Eye in the Sky" on spotify since I wasn't sure what it was, as soon as it started I immediately recognized it. It's the kind of song I've heard numerous times in my life but never really paid much attention to. I listened to it a second time a bit later. That was 5 days ago. It has been playing none stop in my head since then. I need help, this needs to stop.

in the wild: the james gang's "the bomber" on jonesy's jukebox on klos. gave me all sorts of thread nostalgia. and damn that's a well recorded and well mixed bass.

Holy shit, I didn't know this song was called "Long Train Running"! I totally thought it was "Without Love"! I am a false classic rock fan!

Easy mistake, since the chorus is "without looooooove" and not "long train runnin'".

for years I heard the lyric "I found the simple life ain't so simple" as "I found the simple life -- it's so simple!"
I like my version better...feels very authentically DLR.

One of my favourite polls. I wrote about how the local CR station here has been undergoing a horrifying transition for the past couple of years; 10 years from now, this poll may not make sense to anyone under 30.

Putting aside my own biases, I just don't think you can move the idea of "classic-rock" forward in time--it makes about as much sense as taking an all doo-wop station and trying to move it into the mid-'60s and beyond. Anyone who listened to Simple Minds, or Smashing Pumpkins, or whoever in high school isn't going to start listening to a classic-rock station, and anybody who listened to a traditional CR station in high school probably isn't going to start loving Simple Minds. You're better to just take the concept right to the grave with your original audience--if nothing else, it's less embarrassing.

(Something I noticed last week: the DJ played one of those desperately wrong records in a set and he didn't ID it along with the other songs. I'm guessing some of the DJs show their own contempt that way.)

in la, we lost one of our two classic rock stations last year, but 100.3 the sound gave itself a good going-away party. after it was bought by a christian rock network, but before the format flipped, it had about two months to basically play whatever the hell it wanted 24/7 and it used the time well, playing some crazy deep classic rock cuts in between improvised station promos along the lines of "100.3 the sound - we're rocking until jesus comes."
and maybe this is a coastal thing, or just a left coast thing, but at least in la, a classic-rock format that includes boston, ac/dc, van halen, led zeppelin, nirvana, smashing pumpkins and the pixies does, and will, make sense. the last station standing here, klos, isn't all that far from that right now.

XP I think the Jack format died off, but its spirit lives on various and sundry Muzak stations, as chronicled over in CVS thread.
― Never Learn To Mike Love (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 9 January 2018 23:40 (six years ago) link
pumpkins/pearl jam make a certain amount of sense to me cuz me and my other alt-rock friends were discovering those bands at the same time as we was discovering classic rock. and the sonics/sentiments aren't always so different. really it's only because CR had SO walled itself off from new music for so long that it seemed wrong when they suddenly tried to update themselves.
