Friday Night Music – 19 June 2009 – TR Gathering Road Trip

Locked

I jumped the gun, shark and starting line, but this is a Friday Night Music Comptetion for the BEST TR Gathering Road Trip Playlist for people to play while they head to the event.

The twist to this fun idea is that you have to state WHERE the song should be played, like near a monument, major highway, leaving or entering a town, etc….

Categories are:

Rock

Metal

Pop

Country

Classical

Jazz

FreeForm (a mix of ALL musical categories)

Let’s see how creative people REALLY can be in 10 songs! Plus we can find out if they know how to get to the event too. haha

Topic

Rock

Your list goes below…

Radar Love/Golden Earring – whichever state has the Radar traps

In reply to Rock

This is definately a late night driving song.

James

For people not familiar with the FNM format

In reply to Radar Love/Golden Earring – whichever state has the Radar traps

it is standard protocol to post a link to the song. 😀

imeem and youtube are very commonly used.

Yabbut

In reply to For people not familiar with the FNM format

Since both of those services are denied to me by websense while I am at work, I defer.

I might add them later.

Robert Plant-Big Log

In reply to Rock

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Otp4N38ABC0

middle of the night, passing through Indiana, James and Christie crashed out, me and the road…..

This has always been one of my favorite roadtrip songs/tapes.

Alison Krauss – Big Log

In reply to Robert Plant-Big Log

an interesting cover, thought people might like.

Just to show James, I like more than just metal….. 😀

For the inevitable bad weather…

REO Speedwagon – Riding the Storm Out

In reply to Doors – Riders on the Storm

More bad weather listening…

Led Zeppelin – Dazed and Confused

In reply to REO Speedwagon – Riding the Storm Out

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eIwfym0TbY

For those moments when you have no idea where you are or where you are supposed to turn.

In other words, the GPS is dead and you don’t know how to read a printed map. Have fun!

In other words

In reply to Led Zeppelin – Dazed and Confused

female? :0

Not necessarily

In reply to In other words

I could have added “won’t ask for directions” to the list.

Exchanged, not added

In reply to Not necessarily

if you trade the “CAN’T read a map” for the “won’t ask for direction”, then I would give it to you.

I am NEVER lost, I just don’t always know exactly where I am…. B-)

^^^ DEAD MAN POSTING ^^^

In reply to In other words

Jd, you obviously forgot I can thump you next week! :p

YAY! Next week! :p 😀 :p 😀

(boingbounceboingbouncesplat… whoops, hit Boxy on the way back from the space station……. 🙁 )

:p

GG

~gathers more shiny things~

In reply to ^^^ DEAD MAN POSTING ^^^

[i]maybe if I mix gold and silver glitter and sprinkle that around, it would be enough to distract both GG AND GranBot? plots fiendishly….. 😀

What is this GPS thing you speak of…

In reply to Led Zeppelin – Dazed and Confused

Why do we need electronics, we have signs.
James

I know

In reply to What is this GPS thing you speak of…

For years we got by with odd highway numbers going north/south and even highway numbers going east/west. We didn’t even need to see the sign telling us what direction we were headed, we could navigate by the sun or stars.

Outside the US (North America?), of course, ymmv.

And I can state emphatically that I have [u]never[/u] been lost. I might not have known how to get to my destination, but I have always known exactly where I am. B-)

You can’t get there from here

In reply to I know

😀

Ayuh.

In reply to I know

Ya can’t get the-ah from he-ah.

Gotta get the accent right.

With all due respect to my friends from the south

In reply to I know

Whenever I hear that “you can’t get there from here…” I think about a Vermont/Maine crusty rural accent with just that slightest bit of condescension….

I’m sure at some point I’ll remember where I heard that, but its some older comic bit.

James

That’s what I was trying to convey…

In reply to I know

Obviously, it lost something in print! 😀

Signs

In reply to What is this GPS thing you speak of…

I reside in Georgia. It was only when Zell Miller took office as governor in 1991 that every exit off an interstate was finally marked with a name.

There are still a lot of state highways that aren’t labelled with much of anything. I guess in Georgia you either know where you are going or we want you to gove reside in another state.

Now that I think about that, that is true! lmao

Five Man Electrical Band

In reply to Signs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xXIeD8HGoU

is on my list. My state is populated with so many billboards per square mile in some places that periodically anti-billboard legislation is introduced…

When I first heard them

In reply to Signs

I thought the “Five Man electrical Band” was another southern rock group. I thought Steppenwolf was a California band. I was wrong on both counts.

James

Long Live the Rock Opera!

In reply to Rock

Beethoven’s Last Night by Tran-Siberian Orchestra

Metal

In reply to Friday Night Music – 19 June 2009 – TR Gathering Road Trip

Your list goes below…

I know this may drive JD absolutely crazy

In reply to Metal

But he will have to get his metal fix on the way to meeting me, cause there is very little metal I tolerate let alone enjoy.

But under the exception to every rule, I do enjoy Evanescense. The Fallen album is great.

I have no idea where it would make sense but hey Flint Michigan is as good as anyplace (Bring me to life…)

James

Metal Albums

In reply to I know this may drive JD absolutely crazy

I am not a huge metal fan, but there are a few albums that I do like and that is one of them.

My nephew calls them Metal-Lite. lmao

I find that voice compelling

In reply to Metal Albums

She could sing me any style, Tori Amos to Opera, and I’d probably enjoy it.

I quite enjoy old fogie rock, some of which inspired metal, like Led Zepplin, the Who, Neil Young(though i may enjoy the folkie stuff more than Rust Never sleeps), Jethro Tull etc. Kiss were entertaining, but not seriously metal.

James

Something “compelling”

In reply to I find that voice compelling

Amy Lee, just a little different. Should still like?

Broken
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfOYufGFiZg

Freak on a Leash

Thoughtless

I will be fine

In reply to I know this may drive JD absolutely crazy

As I can listen to just about anything EXCEPT for country and rap/hiphop.

Here is the song after we pick up Christie in Lansing.

Judas Priest – Heading Out To The Highway
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKSXHC6IA3s&feature=related

Followed closely by
I Can’t Drive 55
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dj1_9ZOUJNg

What? AC/DC Highway to Hell too obvious?

In reply to I will be fine

Oh I get it, you don’t want to think about what Granbot will do when we deliver you into her clutches……

James

I grew up

In reply to What? AC/DC Highway to Hell too obvious?

and left that song behind a long time ago.

Cool riff but the song its self is just a disparate plea for attention. 😀 And I have never been a fan of “the hits”.

Besides, GranBot has a whole WEEK to forget about any foolish ideas of revenge, (193 hours till the first event) which is plenty of time! :p

When the Bullet Hits the Bone?

In reply to TR Gathering Pop

Could have sworn the name of the song was “Twilight Zone”…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_Zone_(Golden_Earring_song)

Correct

In reply to When the Bullet Hits the Bone?

But you have to remember, this was from a time that the title of the song was normally the chorus, or a full sentence that was in the song.

My how titles have changed.

Oh

In reply to Correct

you mean like “Teenage Wasteland”? 😉

PROTEST!!

In reply to Powder Town to TR Gathering

Life is a Highway should only done by the guy who wrote it: Tom Cochrane. It then gets catagorized as a Rock song, as it should be.

You may now return to our regularly scheduled programming.

James

Danged if you haven’t added

In reply to Friday Night Music – 19 June 2009 – TR Gathering Road Trip

another ‘to do’ to my travel list. Clear the iPod and refill it….

Back Friday evening with tunes if my grading is caught up. 😀

(Bet you can’t guess which category I’ll post under…)

etu

If I were really evil

In reply to Danged if you haven’t added

I would have made rules like only one entry per artist, but that might elimintate somethign really interesting like nterpreting Dark Side of the Moon on a road trip….

It’d leave nearly everything

In reply to If I were really evil

I’d play! 😀
Multiple entries for multiple artists… I can rarely pick a certain favorite from among artists, and their works.

Wow, that would be tough

In reply to Friday Night Music – 19 June 2009 – TR Gathering Road Trip

good thing I am likely missing FNM and the Road Trip 😀

You can still play!

In reply to Wow, that would be tough

You can still come up with a play list…

This weekend (and likely the next few)

In reply to You can still play!

At least the alcohol will be flowing 😀

I’m taking a virtual trip

In reply to Friday Night Music – 19 June 2009 – TR Gathering Road Trip

Edited because of too many spaces. Blame the Merlot.

We can only hope

In reply to I’m taking a virtual trip

that the streaming video from the Gathering will be flawless, my experience with live net feeds is less than good.

Anyhoo, we will miss you, thanks for the songs.

And the spaces..

Even if you cannot make it we still love you.

I’m sure the video will be great no matter what

In reply to We can only hope

It will be great fun. You’re so sweet Michael! I love you all too.
