For example I spent much of the day trying to think of a good song to pair with "4th of July" but here are a couple of thoughts:<br /><br /><b>LA Plays Itself</b><br />"4th of July" -- Dave Alvin (or X)<br />"Empty-Hearted Town" -- Warren Zevon<br /><br /><b>Obsessed With The Movies</b><br />"I'm In Love With A German Film Star" -- The Passions<br />"The Two Sides of Monsieur Valentine" -- Spoon<br /><br /><b>Cheeky Religious(?) Songs</b><br />"Jesus The Missing Years" -- John Prine<br />"Jesus Was Way Cool" -- King Missile<br /><br /><b>Cool, or lack thereof</b><br />"Through Being Cool" -- Devo<br />"King And Queen Of America" -- Eurythmics<br />(this might only make sense to me; but I've always heard those as two sides of the same coin. Having said that, I just watched the video for "King And Queen Of America" and was surprised at how much it looks like a Devo video -- it definitely supports my feeling that the song is more than slightly tongue in cheek )<br /><br /><br /><b>Tales Of Brave Ulysses</b><br />"Home At Last" -- Steely Dan<br />"Calypso" -- Suzanne Vega<br />(I had originally thought about pairing the Steely Dan song with the Cream song but I think they're just too different tonally. The Suzanne Vega is also definitely a contrast but perhaps a more interesting one).NickShttp://www.beforeyoulisten.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-52797887761850989272017-08-01T14:23:40.771-07:002017-08-01T14:23:40.771-07:00clash- Lost in the Supermarket, Springsteen- Queen...clash- Lost in the Supermarket, Springsteen- Queen of the Supermarket. <br />Dylan- Black Diamond Bay, GP-Impenetrablejerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05870669774608717492noreply@blogger.com
