There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Last night on my walk home, my iPod threw at me 2 South San Gabriel Songs and 2 Vic Chesnutt songs within 5 songs.
For a while, Liz Phair was coming up an awful lot on shuffle.
Then, this morning, as if it knew I was onto it, it threw up all kinds of songs that it never usually plays.
Speaking of Kansas, I was watching the video for Radiohead's "Street Spirit" the other day and noticed how similar it was in places to "Dust in the Wind."
In that same genre, a song which has been forever changed for me because of a media association (for the better) is Styx's "Come Sail Away" - thanks to Freaks and Geeks.
Styx's "Come Sail Away"
How come there are no more humans-going-off-with-aliens pop songs? Why were there so many in the '70s? Besides "Come Sail Away" there was Neil Young's "After the Goldrush" and Klaatu's "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft."
And BOC's "Stairway to the Stars". At least, I think that's what it's about.
Also, not to be forgetting Billy Thorpe's Children of the Sun.
Ah. Yeah, I knew there were more!
Maybe more songs about friendly aliens can be part of the highly-anticipated '70s prog-rock revival. (Anticipated by me, anyway.)

I don't have Wolfmother's album, so I don't know that they have a "friendly aliens" song, but I would not be at all surprised if they did. The revival has already begun, so epic friendly alien songs can't be far behind.
Heh. Wolfmother is on 70-revival, and there's another one I just read about. Eighties clothing and seventies music. What is the world coming to?
Who was it who was looking for things from the Marie Antoinette soundtrack? I just ripped the entire double CD set, so I can hook folks up if it's still needed.
Help? Does anyone have Dead Man's Party by Oingo Boingo?
Jon, it was SA. I sent yousendit links to BR, but I defer to people whose connection doesn't time out.
