I didn't say cool... we all know i'm the coolest!

D_rawk, i think c-towns started it. He falls down mid-dance floor and hits his head a lot. He forgets.

hahaha, i remember that! fondly...

you deserved it.

for me, tortiere on christmas eve... the annual family brawl outside, hottubs in the snow, sneak peaking at presents, chevy chase's christmas vacation, mimosas, sausage rolls, ping pong tourny, naps, rum and cokes.

Thanks guys... i have some myspacing to do!

Good call on those Buddha Bar compilations...

KK - give me a call or slide over when you're back in town!

So, I have to build a couple of substantial playlists for work. We have an auction coming up in Phoenix in January, and I need two playlists to run for two full days. The first day we're hosting a British car auction, and i've got that playlist on lock down. The second day we're hosting our normal auction, which has all kinds of classic cars for sale. For this particular day, i'm looking to create a playlist that has more of a euro feel... light, ambient beats.

Thing is, i have no idea where to start. I'm kinda strictly an alt-country, indie kind of girl. I know what I want to hear, but couldn't even begin to know how to look for it. There's a couple of Air France tunes that I think fit the bill, but then after that i have no idea.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Or even a genre name that could start me off on a search? This is for background music, while people walk around and check out cars.

Thanks in advance!!

I use that kind of shameless guilt promo activity quite a bit around Chatham... sometimes, it really is needed. Especially in this town where people complain about having nothing to do, nowhere to go all the time, and when things do come to town, stay at home and guard the couch instead. It works... and it's a bit of an eye-opener for the 'keeners' who do care about bringing live entertainment to their towns and what they need to do (support) in order to make it happen.

Whoa now, as an occasional punctualizer, i feel like i need to stick up for my kind. a demise of integrity? i think taking a look at what the internet has done in enabling casual conversation to come across in written format would probably explain the trend.

We don't all walk around saying 'well hello, Sir! How do you do today?' - our modes of communicating are changing.

In preparation for 2.5 hours from now, in beautifully desolate Pontiac, Michigan where i'm pretty sure live music is the only thing keeping the place alive.

BROOD!

hahaha, no shit! i challenge all of this thread's posters to spend a day or two in Chatham.

Why? Do a lot of people in Chatham agree with each other using the word 'ditto' or refer to music as "heady' and 'epic' ?

Hahaha... nah, Chatham's not the headiest of scenes around. More along the lines of 'i seen that guy yesterday', 'he don't know what he's talkin' 'bout', 'so i says to the guy'... I'd say if you live in Chatham and the only thing you pick up is 'seriously' or 'literally' you're doing AOK.

That and adding an 's' on somewhere. 'I think it's somewheres over there'. Somewheres? Where does that even come from!?

Wow. After reading all these, I think I better keep my mouth shut from now on. There is a whole bunch of small town shit that I hear and speak all the time listed here!

hahaha, no shit! i challenge all of this thread's posters to spend a day or two in Chatham.

Also Elliott Brood at Lee's Palace, which is possible right now.

I support this thread wholeheartedly.

Spent the morning listening, and i agree!

As cool as the technology is, the skill of finding your way without GPS using a map, road markers, and landmarks is not worth losing. There have been many times that I've found my way to a place I've been to just once, many years before from remembering small details. I'm sure that if I relied on a GPS, I would lose that ability.

Anyone else feel that way?

Yep.

I always refuse GPS units renting cars when i travel to various places for work, while most of my coworkers swear by them. The first time we had to go to northern Italy for an auction everyone got a GPS unit except me... they all got to our auction site well in advance while i was still circling roundabouts wondering where the fuck i was and starting to feel a little scared. But now when we head over, i just jump in the car and go and pretty much can navigate myself all across northern Italy, as they ride shotgun wondering how the hell i know where i'm going.

this show's served me well over the years:

Steve Kimock Live at the Bouelvard Cafe 2002-11-24

whoops!! haha

it's about musical superiority, dudes! you can go to 200 phish shows and be completely whacked out of your mind for all 200 of 'em and not know any more than buddy beside you whose only seen 2. and secondly, who fucking cares to sit around and be all 'i've been to 32 rolling stones concerts, how many have you been to?'.

Oooooh, aren't you special!

okay, then.

that's probably the better way to put it, for what its worth. instead of calling him dumb, insinuating that he should be told to 'suck it', and then saying he looks like a 'noob'.

sorry for being all defender-girl, but i guess i get irked when people act as if they have some kind of musical superiority over another by how many shows they've seen.

i'll relax now.
