Day 20-A song from the 80's
This was so hard, since this is the decade i really came of age. I must’ve seen at least 100 shows in this decade w most bills having 1-2 openers, I must’ve seen several hundred bands.
But this one stands out. I remember hearing this song for the first time, and we had destroyed my friends basement. (Like not really destroyed but just sort of displaced a lot of things slamming and moshing…)
Saw UK Subs only three times, but City Gardens in Trenton stands out the most. Complete chaos. The good ol daze!

Day 20: A song from the 80s. - 1984
Before The Bangles got really, really soft and put out really awful Top 40 hits, this song was a great alternative radio song.

Day 21: A song from the 90s
If I could wrap myself up in voices, hug myself real tight with songs and lyrics and good vibes, I'd love for Kelly Jones to be my jacket against the wind. His whiskey-and-cigars vocals warm me to my core.
Stereophonics - She takes her clothes off
Location: "They saw her dance last in Woolworth street"
Total: 4

Excuse me while I dust off my one hit wonder collection. The album this is taken from blew my tiny teenager mind.. but the rest of the album was much less hooky.
Definitely will be spinning it today.
+10 flirtpoints if you knew who this song was by.
-10 flirtpoints if you thought you did, but got it wrong.

This is one of them songs that every time I remember it I have to go verify it really existed and my brain’s not just fucking with me.

Day 21: A song from the 90s
It seems like I start a lot of these with "this band should have been more popular." And here is another one. The Judybats (or just Judybats. Or The Judy Bats. Or The JudyBats. The band itself was never consistent) had a couple of songs make it onto Billboards Modern Rock 100, but they never really got out of the ghetto of College Radio. Which is too bad, because they mixed some great hooky, quirky, pop sensibilities with some deep melancholy and bittersweet songwriting. Upbeat and downbeat. Sweetly wistful and sweetly sardonic, and it really hits a note with me.
This if from their debut album, which I still listen to regularly. It is fast, upbeat, quirky (with the repeated "wooo" yells) and has several fadeout fake outs. It is sweet, but also bitter. The singer has had his heart broken and went to Spain to heal. And I really love this part:
"But all I want to do is
Break away from them
And write you another letter
That I'll never send
I fold them into boats
Set them afloat in the
Neighborhood pool
The children love them till they
Sink and say, 'Hagame uno mas!
Esos son muy cool!'"
I love that image so much -- writing out things you need to say but you are honestly afraid to let the other person see. I've done that here, writing out long PMs to someone, then deleting them instead, folding them into ethereal paper airplanes and casting them out my window since they get mad if I float paper in the swimming pool, and I don't particularly like my neighborhood kids enough to amuse them. But yes, I really connect with that verse, that sentiment, that feeling.
"Convalescing in Spain," The Judybats (1990)
(+1 for Spain, 4 total)
(I can almost forget that forgetting is the hardest part...)
