nice. seeing the christopher cross reminds me of when i was in elementary school. all my friends thought kris kross was awesome, and i thought they meant christopher cross, to which my dad rocked out on a regular basis. i remember bringing a cassette to show and tell, talking about how cool "chris cross" was, and playing said tape for the class. everyone laughed.  :-[ i guess they weren't down to "ride like the wind," but that's how we rolled on the mean streets of the grayson valley golf and country club.

Killer, here's my childhood story from this playlist. When I was real young my parents were fanatical christians to the point that I could watch Saturday morning cartoons but I had to turn the commercials off. I couldn't even say fart, like it was a bad word or something, I had to say "poot". Anyways, a neighbor had that Digital Underground album and in the song Freaks Of The Industry, there is a little sex scene in it and I only remember one line from it where he says something like " Vanessa, the x-rated movie queen". So I would hear the song and get turned on like little kids often do and then I would go home and cry and ask forgivenes from God because I thought I was a bad person. I'm glad 'm not putting my boys through that shit, it fucks with your head man.

Here's a quick copy paste from the site, I don't have time to clean it up but this will allow folks like c-Mc to check it.

The guys from the Southern twang-rocking phenomenon known as My Morning Jacket totally bro'd down and hooked us up with a track list of some of the songs that inspired them. Guess what? It's not all Neil Young and Gram Parsons. But if you've been listening to Z, then you won't be surprised to see that they're into stuff like Digital Underground, Christopher Cross and Hall & Oates.

Do Me!  Bel Biv Devoe!  Nice one.

The time was 6 o'clock on the Swatch watch
No time to chill, got a date, can't be late
Hey, the girl is gonna do me
Move to the Jacuzzi, ooh, that booty
Smack it up, flip it, rub it down, oh, no

I had a friend he was kinda messed up, due to his head being flat like a basketball out of air, when he was born. His mom said the Dr. really had to pump his head up or something. Maybe that was her BS excuse for him being all f'd up and shit. Anyways, her name was Natha and everytime her son sang that song he would say "I love Natha, rub her down". About his own mom! And just betwen you and me, She looked like Freddy Krueger. Not killer at all!

i was just listening to LAUGHING STOCK the other day and decided that 'ascension day' might be the best song ever.

i remember this playlist was posted quite a while ago, and i still can't sort why they chose that afghan whigs song.  the whigs are my favourite band ever, but crime scene part one might be my least favourite song of theirs.

Here, here.  Very pleased to even see the Whigs mentioned though.  I beg people on a daily basis to listen to the Whigs and the Pixies - people think I'm disturbed.
