Sweet Pickles: Music

Music

26 December 2009

How could I have missed these?

Over the past week, I have belatedly discovered what are probably my two favorite songs in the musical no-man's-land of 2009, and completely by accident. Neither were actually released in 2009 (both are several years old, apparently), and I'm astounded that neither artist's record labels ever notified me. If you're gonna compose ass-shaking club hits and design sexy videos specifically targeted at Sweet Pickles, you're gonna need to let a brother know. Better late than never!

Just a Quick List for Early Saturday Morning

(Yes, 10:25am constitutes 'early'.)

Good news: Snackbar can make my new favorite drink, vodka gimlets. Bad news: Snackbar can make my new favorite drink, vodka gimlets.

Last night's dream: I was drinking the soft drink 7-Up and delighted to discover there were real chunks of actual lemon and lime in it, then pissed off when I woke up this morning and realized it was only a dream.

Today's testimony to the suckitude of new music in 2009: The last 4 artists in my download history from iTunes = Bryan Ferry, Donna Summer, Romeo Void, and Prokofiev. As some slut (M-Shan? L-Hane?) recently asked, isn't it about time that Justin Timberlake brought something back again?

Question 1: Anyone up for a late lunch at the Turkish place later? Sext me if you're interested and we'll get a plan together.

Question 2: Anyone got any ideas why there's a post-it note that says "SLUTS 4 FREEDOM" inside my freezer?

-FIN-

Music for Smart People

On Facebook, T-War just posted NPR's The Decade's 50 Most Important Recordings. Of these, Sweet Pickles owns exactly four:

Crazy In Love, Paper Planes, Toxic, and Rehab.

In summary: If he can't shake his ass to it, Sweet Pickles don't need it.

... and my personal fave:

"Sometimes I feel I've got to run away, I've got to look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land!"

What's your fave? Vote now! Or, other suggestions???

A solution that Doc, Gopher, Isaac, Julie, and Capt. Stubing can agree on!

In a recent controversy on campus, our new chancellor has banned the marching band from playing From Dixie With Love (a hybrid arrangement of Dixie and Battle Hymn of the Republic) because of the drunken undergraduates who, at the end of the musical rendition, chant "The South will rise again!" In a recent status-update on the Facebook, R-Wad posted this: "R-Wad is writing 'From Dixie with Love Boat,' a beautiful blending of those two songs." To which, Sweet Pickles offered this contribution:

"In Dixie Land, where I was born,
love won't hurt anymore.
Early on a frosty morn',
it's an open smile on a friendly shore!"

The Lido Deck will rise again!!

You know who I feel sorry for?

Barack Obama. Because, when artists and documentarians of the future start making films about his presidency, the soundtrack of contemporary music from his first year in office is going to be ridiculous.

You know how anytime filmmakers need to set anything within the LBJ Administration, something like Buffalo Springfield's For What It's Worth starts playing in the background? I mean, imagine it... the voice of the guy who narrates Frontline makes some pronouncement about the historic nature of Obama's election victory while the film shows overhead views of the election-night crowds in Chicago's Grant Park, and then, cue the Jason Mraz!

Musically, 2009 has been a complete bust so far. I think 2009 might be the year that new music and Sweet Pickles broke up. I have thrown less money at iTunes this year than either of my godchildren (a 2nd-grader and kindergartener). For me (but probably to the obvious delight of my goddaughter), I think the most obvious death knell has been the inexplicable and infuriating recurrence of Miley Cyrus' songs in iTunes' top 10 most downloaded songs (That's it... I'm out, bitches).

As my historic birthday approaches, I realize this must happen to every generation. I wonder when did it happen for my parents? There was a time during my childhood when they were still buying LPs and 8-track cassettes, and dancing together around the living room. I know it continued through the era of disco and well into the heyday of yacht rock. Looking back at 1984 (the year in which they turned the same age I'll be turning this December), I wonder... at what point did they say "F*ck a bunch of this!" Who pushed them over the edge, who was their Miley Cyrus? Was it Ratt? Laura Branigan? Rockwell? Night Ranger? Corey Hart? Rick Springfield? Nena? And with that, I give you:

Good morning, Berlin!

I think that a big reason why I haven't had much to blog about lately has been the soggy-ass weather. Seriously. Driving to work this morning, as I pulled into the parking lot, I noticed that the white columns on the front of our building are now green with some kind of fungal growth. No lie.

I was further worried by an article I read about the Pacific Ocean losing heat, and the planet entering a 10- to 15-year cooling phase during which temperatures will be lower overall (apparently similar to the 1950s through 1970s). This does not bode well for my mood. In general, Sweet Pickles finds that cooling phases are not conducive to sexy times.

My newest favorite discovery (via D-Sap) is the music of Peter Fox, especially the song Schwarz zu Blau. I've had it in my head the past couple of days. I'm finding that its lyrics strike a particularly resonant chord with my mood: Guten Morgen, Berlin... Du kannst so häßlich sein, so dreckig und grau ("Good morning, Berlin... You can be so dirty, so ugly and gray"). Check out the video. The animation is pretty great.

17 September 2009

Remember when George W. Bush's father was vice-president?

So, I finally got up in the attic, and managed to find a shoebox with some stuff I could use for tomorrow night's 80s Dance Party/benefit for the local animal shelter.

Most depressing artifacts: several very 80s old belts that won't fit around my thigh, much less around my waist anymore.

Most fun artifacts: some random Charlie's Angels collectors' cards (the kind that came in packs with a flat sheet of bubble gum, and have portraits of the Angels or action shots labeled "Jill nabs a crook!" or "Kelly poses as a cop," or "Sabrina cracks the case!"). I don't know how exactly I might use these (because I hate to get rid of them), but I'm thinking of 'trading' them to people who buy me drinks (I'm a slutty lush like that). Or maybe I'll just carry them in my pocket and flash them to people I wanna get with. But I'm not sure of of what years the show ran... was it too 70s?

Most suitable or relevant artifacts (as far as the costume contest is concerned): two Swatch watches (I had many more than that, back in the day), a 'hand-woven' friendship bracelet (in pink and green), a skinny knitted necktie (Ralph Lauren Polo, bitches), my retainer, one of those loops to hook to the arms of your sunglasses (the kind your grandmother has on her bifocals, that were cool for a few minutes at the end of the first Reagan Administration), and an assortment of buttons (the kind you could wear on the lapels of a jacket or the straps of a backpack) reading "Depeche Mode," "Berlin," "I've been slimed" (Ghostbusters), "It's not who you are, it's what you wear," "Do ya think I'm sexy?" "Disco is out, break-dancing is in," (FYI, disco is never out), "I want to be disgustingly rich," and again "Depeche Mode" (FYI, recognize). If you go tomorrow night, and buy me a drink, I might let you wear one of them for a little while.

Most nostalgic artifact: the 8-track-to-cassette converter that I got with my first car (one of my mother's cast-offs... an American-made cruise ship that still had an 8-track deck, and could comfortably seat 12 people, which Brad Bagby dubbed "The Nurse" because it was white and solid). The converter's connectivity was sketchy, so it required a butter knife from my mother's silverware pattern to be inserted along with the converter into the 8-track deck [Do you remember that, Brad Bagby or Wipey?], but it was a necessary evil because you couldn't get Depeche Mode on 8-track!

Artifacts I need from SweetPickles.typepad.com readers: a pink button-down oxford cloth shirt and a pair of size-9 deck shoes/boaters. I want to wear the pink oxford over a green polo shirt (collar turned up), and my skinny knitted Polo necktie over it. Of course I will also be rocking 'pegged' cuffs on my pants, but have no era-appropriate footwear. Or, if you don't have either of these items, I'll settle for this shirt:

Additionally, I also need someone to sub my Friday morning classes, so that Sweet Pickles can get crunk on Thursday night! Hook a brother UP! Meet me there at 8:00pm tomorrow, even if you don't want to do the trivia contest... that way we can get a buzz in the parking lot on Bartles & Jaymes wine coolers before the ass-shaking starts at 9:00pm!

I'm all over it, all up in it, and dancin' circles around it!

Calling all Music Sluts!

A-Bed (great nickname, huh?) is organizing a charity benefit for the local animal shelter, and it's gonna be an 80s Dance Party!! Hellz-to-the-mutha-effin'-YEAH! Don't even.

Thursday 17-Sep [put it on your calendars now, sluts] at the PowerHouse.

Tickets (available at the door) are $10.00 and include your first drink for free (plus pizza and/or some snacks for those of you who eat).

80s Music Triva competition starts at 8:00pm

Serious business (i.e., the shaking of moneymakers) begins at 9:00pm.

In discussions of playlists, A-Bed already made reference to Debbie Deb. And asked me for any trivia question ideas and/or playlist recommendations. I sent her the 80s-specific archive of Music Slut questions, with these instructions: "Each of these questions is based on a song that I own. Therefore, by definition, asses can be shaken to all of them. Consider this the playlist recommendations of an expert." Although I will obviously disqualify myself from the trivia competition, the rest of you Music Sluts can play without guilt, because 90% of the questions have not yet been featured on SweetPickles.typepad.com! Who knows, maybe y'all can win some fabulous prizes and shit?!?!

So... D-Hug, JustJess, M-Shan, Frenchie, L-Shep, and Ruby: consider yourselves my dates for this worthy cause! Who am I kidding, I don't need a worthy cause... if they were promoting mandatory root canals as an 80s Dance Party, I'd still do it (I'm slutty like that). For Brad Bagby, Maribeth, and Yankee Librarian (our out-of-town Music Sluts), we'll tip our 40s in your honor.

Spread the word, Music Sluts!

D-Hug's & P-Rut's Music Trivia Game: Question #17

This might be our last question for a while, because Sweet Pickles will be on hiatus for the next few days, on the beach in Perdido with some slutty sluts and the sluts they like to slut it up with. I'm leaving tomorrow at 9:00am, and should be back by Tuesday evening. Updated rankings follow (Maribeth is ready to start busting up marriages along with D-Hug), and in the meantime, hopefully this one will tide you Music Sluts over until the Pickle is back in town...

If you are revved up like a deuce, in what way and by what have you been disabled?

D-Hug's & P-Rut's Music Trivia Game: Question #16

While the Music Slut Trivia Game will continue to be musical, it just got a little bit sluttier! Rather than using the traditional scale of 1st Place, 2nd Place, etc., Sweet Pickles is now instituting new performance categories based upon participants' numbers of correct first responses. It's kinda like the Homeland Security Advisory System's color-coded threat levels, but for the different degrees of musical sluttiness. The new categories (and our current rankings) are...

One-Night Stand - 1 correct first response
Yankee Librarian (Dolly Parton)
M-Shan (Bobby Brown)
Frenchie (Lil' Kim)

Booty-Calls - 2 correct first responses
JustJess (Vanilla Ice, Sade)
Maribeth (Sugar Hill Gang, Peaches)

Homewreckers - 3 correct first responses
D-Hug (Duran Duran, After the Fire, Young MC)

Sex Addicts Anonymous - 4 correct first responses
Brad Bagby (Marky Mark, Prince, Human League, Band Aid)

Putting the REAL in Venereal - 5 or more correct first responses
I hope this will give all of you something to aspire to.

Okay, now peep this:

You warn me not to turn around because who is in town?

Is it just me...

or does Tom Petty's American Girl have the most blow-your-mind greatest lyrics EVER? Doing a little question-development research for Music Slut, I was reminded of how great a song that still is. It had been a while.

I don't even know how to describe the lyrics' greatness. Poignant? Bittersweet? Yearning? It reads like literature, and sounds even better. No matter how many times I hear it, it never fails to make my hair stand on end. Who knew Tom Petty was such a poet?!?!

Well, she was an American girl,
raised on promises.
She couldn't help thinking
that there was a little more to life somewhere else.
After all, it was a great big world,
with lots of places to run to.
And if she had to die trying,
she had one little promise she was gonna keep.

Oh yeah, all right.
Take it easy, baby.
Make it last all night.
She was an American girl.

Well, it was kind of cold that night.
She stood alone on her balcony.
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by,
out on 441, like waves crashing on the beach.
And for one desperate moment there,
he crept back in her memory.
God, it's so painful when something that's so close
is still so far out of reach.

Oh yeah, all right.
Take it easy, baby.
Make it last all night.
She was an American girl.

If you haven't heard it in a while, do yourself a favor. But only listen to the originally-recorded version, none of the live performances where they've got to 'jazz it up' (ugh, you know how Sweet Pickles feels about live music!).

Top 3 List: Sweet Pickles' Favorite Yacht Rock Songs

Will Cooley Fan Club's recent post about Yacht Rock has got Sweet Pickles all worked up with its references to Sex on the Beach, coke, suntan lotion, and topsiders! Yacht Rock is a genre that I associate with my childhood (its heyday of 1976-1984 succinctly covers kindergarten through junior high for me), would never have acknowledged as a teenager or college student, but have come to re-embrace over the past several years. These examples are not intended to contend for the title of top Yacht Rock song of all time, but rather are some personal faves that Sweet Pickles recommends to those who are new to the pleasures of the genre as well as to longtime enthusiasts who appreciate the classics. Now, I'm off to start working up a Yacht Rock playlist for Perdido this weekend! [And I'll be happy to burn a copy to disc for anybody who wants one!]

D-Hug's & P-Rut's Music Trivia Game: Question #11

Question #10 was a no-go for any previous or future Music Sluts, which means that JustJess (Vanilla Ice, Sade), Maribeth (Sugar Hill Gang, Peaches), and Brad Bagby (Marky Mark, Prince) are still leading the slut-pack (kinda like a wolf pack) by the thinnest of margins (i.e., the kind that Sweet Pickles likes).

Can any slut riddle me this:
