I remember reading about Gary and that album of his a couple decades ago, how it was some lost obscure masterpiece from the 70s… anyways, I quite liked that song, the combination of the creamy keyboard dance stuff with the spoken word punk style of Lou Reed or somebody. Turn it up certainly.

The Soft Boys were a great band from Cambridge. I’m turning it up.

I’ll be honest – I find this song a bit overrated. The Jam have never really been my jam.
Turn it down, for me personally.
Next song:

My least favorite song on Royal Scam. Phenomenal Larry Carlton guitar work on the intro. Particularly in the context of that album after the masterpiece that is Green Earrings and the filthy talkbox on Hatian Divorce I turn it down.
Lets see if anybody here wants to get down to Oysterhead

Haha ok wow, I was listening to this having not ever heard of Oysterhead, and thought it kinda reminded me of Primus, and that the guitarist/singer looked a bit like Trey from Phish. And I looked it up afterwards, to find that it was indeed Anastasio, and Primus’ Les Claypool on bass, plus Stu Copeland from the Police on drums, some supertrio! I thought the track began in a jazz fusion vein, was a little surprised and disappointed when it turned into an actual (meandering) kinda song, with words and singing, even though I couldn’t tell what the words were about. I did like some of Trey’s Wah-Wah noises (and all three musicians are obviously legends on their instruments), so turn it up a tiny bit.
Ok, from 1968, The United States of America with “Hard Coming Love”
Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

Never even heard of him till now, I see he’s Canadian . His voice kinda reminds me of Tom T. Hall’s. I’d have to play it a second or third time to see what the whole lyric is about, but aside from that it sounded pretty nice on its own. Turn it up one notch, please.
[For this song, note the lyric declaring “Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles’ new record’s a gas!” – ie. it’s groovy, it’s far out, man. “Long And Winding Road” single was released four days after this, and a month after the breakup becoming known.]

Can’t stand the way he sang, but I love to hear him talk. Pretty amusing dialogue but not really my thing. Turn it Down
These guys are breaking up after this tour. Saw them on Saturday and Sunday sadly for the last time.
