    • Show #385: "The Eggman Collection #119"

      NOTE: Due to an illness in my family which has me a little distracted at the moment, plus working 50-plus hours a week, I will be doing only Eggman Collection specials in the next couple of months until things slow down in the fall. I'm calling it "The Back-To-Back Eggman Collection End Of Summer Super Spectacular Extravaganza!"
      The Eggman Collection is basically a big potpourri of every song I've ever liked in my life...EVER! It's literally a huge mixing bowl full of songs written onto tiny pieces of paper. Over 15,000 songs that I've been compiling for the past 20-plus years of my life. Every song I've ever liked has gone into this bowl, and every three weeks I draw them out one-by-one and play them for you in no particular order. A mix of everything and anything I like, no matter what genre, era, style or year of release...if I like it, then I'll play it! No repeats of the same song ever! Tune in tonight (Friday) at 10pm EST for the 119th installment of The Eggman Collection and hear bands and artists like: Gryphon, MAson, Bee Gees, Tudor Lodge, Funkadelic, October Country, The Tremeloes, The Dolphins, Rainbow Ffolly, Dirty Filthy Mud, The Lollipop Shoppe, The Savage Rose, Kaleidoscope, The Joint Effort, The New York Rock & Roll Ensemble, The Rock Garden, The Velvet Underground & Nico, The Moles, Guru Guru, Matching Mole, and many others!!!

      The Maggots are good but not 100% sure they are from Sweden...can't go wrong with The Nomads though.

    • I'm really big on walking around with my phone blasting music out of its little bitty Tart 'n' Tiny sized speaker. Under normal circumstances, i just let it play on Shuffle. However, if the weather or atmosphere suggests something specific, i play that instead...for instance, "Talk Talk Talk" by the PSYCHEDELIC FURS is good if you're walking by the river at night, but not as good if you're walking to get ice cream at Noon. 20/20 is good if it's damp out; "Where It's At With The Wind" works well in late afternoon. The DREAM SYNDICATE are good if it's Fall, and MICK FARREN & THE DEVIANTS "Screwed Up" is particularly excellent if you are by the river and it's dark AND you're all fucked up. Otherwise, as i said, shuffle play.

    • Velvets are okay for me, but not 'on the road'...hate Pere Ubu (hehe...), love THE RAMONES, THEE HEADCOATS and Phil's Girl Groups seem to be okay, too...as you mentioned, it depends on one'S mood a lot, of course...

      I tend to enjoy Velvet Underground, Pere Ubu, Ramones, Soft Boys, Headcoats and 50s Spector-ish girl groups on my perambulations. Depends on my mood.

      When my other half lived in London my favourite album for getting from Kings Cross to where she lived was The Monks 'Black monk time', perfect for pushing through a crowded London on a Friday afternoon!

      Last Night said:

       -just remembered listening to this on a neon yellow sony walkman on my way to this chic-who-never-ended-up-being-my-true-love house! hah!


      Anyhow, I found myself pondering this question A LOT this morning, trying to come up with the perfect playlist song-by-song. I came to the conclusion that there are several variables to be taken into account - whether it's a brisk sunny morning and you're on your way to the gym or the beach, a grey afternoon and you're stuck in the after work traffic, of if it's a cool evening stroll, destination unknown. To me, the answer would be drastically different on each occasion.


      But, based on the commute this morning (it was a bit chilly but sunny outside), I would have to say that in the ideal situation I would've:

      - started off with some good ole 70s/80s power pop, as that tender, not-quite-awake-yet state of being calls for some sweet, up-beat melodies (btw, I consider it important not to put the music on before stepping out of the door, but preferably just as you breath in the first of the fresh morning air):

      POINTED STICKS - PART OF THE NOISE

      THE RUBINOOS - I WANNA BE YOUR BOYFRIEND

      THE LIMIT - UH OH

      - then, around the time I got on the bus, feeling energized and positive, I'd crank it up a notch, and the person sitting next to me would just have to deal with my lip-syncin'-head-boppin'-eyes-closed demeanor:

      RADIO BIRDMAN - MURDER CITY NIGHTS

      THE KIDS - THIS IS ROCK 'N ROLL

      PAGANS - WHAT'S THIS SHIT CALLED LOVE?

      SWEATMASTER - ANIMAL

      - finally, getting off the bus and taking the short walk to the office, I would pull out all guns and yank my neck like crazy with my fists in the air, parading my armpits to everyone present:

      TEENGENERATE - DRESSED IN BLACK

      THE REATARDS - TEENAGE HATE

      OBLIVIANS - CHRISTINA

      Then, when I got to work I'd be like "What? Those stats don't add up? That meeting's been cancelled? We're going bankrupt? SO THE FUCK WHAT, BRING THE MOFO ON! I'M READY! YEEEEEEEAAAAOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      (Holy shit - I really gotta try this out one of these mornin's...)

    • hehe, remembering the good ole' walkman-days, great choice i think...

      My favotite song to start out down the street with my ipod (I listen to tapes on my Walkman more often , if anything , these days.) is "I Don't Believe in Anything" by The Nevebreakers. Mainly because it's the first song of theirs that turns up , but , also , it's a good one to face the hordes out on the street with....
