JCC The JCC mixtape, Part I (archived - playlist on page 1)

Why reward them like that?

 

St. Elmos Fire, although Changes came very close to taking my vote

 

I did, by the way, come up with my list of fifteen songs over ten minutes long. The shortest one is mere seconds over ten minutes, the longest almost 45 minutes; the playlist as a whole? Four-and-a-half hours. Yikes. We'll skip that one.

 

I like both a lot. Changes and St. Elmo's Fire. I voted for the latter because it's more nostalgic to me.

Also funnier. "Gonna be a man in motion!". I bet he's thrusting his fist to the sky in the video. Standing on a cliff.

 

Do not besmirch John Parr.

 

Might as well since it’s deadlocked.

 

One of my backups is in contention, so, with apologies to ODB, I guess I’m switching to “St. Elmo’s Fire.”

I also had a draft that long, although I like Miles Davis’ rambling electric period which is like a cheat code for lengthy tracks.

 

I've sent my list over to heels

I had a final tinker last night then went to bed and forgot to send it

It was late, I was tired

Invest in rubber sheets to help with your problem.

 

St Elmo’s Fire always seemed like a guilty pleasure addition to my playlist. Never did I imagine it would win.

 

Bowie and They Might Be Giants.

This... could be a difficult vote.

 

This is a good playlist. I'd ordinarily be tempted to go with either Heroes or Bridge Over Troubled Water, but we already have Bowie and Simon & Garfunkel on here, and Bowie is only two songs back.

Ordinarily, I'd say there's no such thing as too much Bowie, but I might have to go with Somewhere Only We Know, which is the first time I ever recall feeling aged, weary, soul tired, forlorn, and deeply melancholy listening to a song. I was a very dramatic 5th grader.

 

I'll take another shot at getting They Might Be Giants on the Playlist - another masterpiece from Flood.

 

@FatBurt i could have given you another 2 songs

 

I ended up going with "The Life of Riley" since I enjoyed it a lot but hadn't heard it before, but repeat listens are probably going to make this a little dicey.

 

I just don't know if I can vote against Heroes which is one of the most perfect songs ever created. I just don't think I can pick anything else on a list that has that on it.

But if anyone else votes for Somewhere Only We Know, I will not say you're wrong.

If you can believe it, I got to fifteen tracks without a single jazz selection. More a testament to my ignorance of the genre than an anti-jazz statement, but then I do very pointedly not like Bitches Brew, so make of that what you will.

 

Bitches Brew isn't jazz. They were just jamming, and someone pressed the record button.
