The Folly of Men: July 9th, 2017 Playlist

CLICK HERE TO HEAR THE SHOW

Yeah, so my initial brief to myself to only play music from before 1991 (the year I graduated grad school) went out the window on my second show. I didn't blow it off completely. Most of this show's songs are from before 1980, but there's one song from 1993 and another from only last year. Putting the list together, seeing what music I had, it just made sense. The Tedeschi Trucks Bandfits in perfectly, both musically and historically between the Band, Little Feat, Delaney & Bonnie and the rest. And it sounded great.

The standout tracks from this list are the proto-metal tracks (#5-#9). Snake Bitefrom Stone Axe is the first of several mind blowing discoveries I've made during building setlists. A one-single band, it is louder and heavier than most of the heavy music released in 1971 when it appeared. The same goes for the tunes from the rest of the bands in that set. I'm really happy I finally heard Death (thanks to the awesome musical director of Ash vs. Evil Dead). There was no way Freakin' Outwasn't going to make it into one of the first Music I Like shows - and it did.

The second show was mostly fun, but I forgot how to load my MP3s into the the board and had to wait for one of the station directors to show up. Felt stupid and started fifteen minutes late. Fortunately, DJ Thrilla carried on, playing his usual killer cuts of old school disco, hip hop and soul. Then he ended with a Billy Joel song, which worked out perfectly.
