Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with STEVIE WONDER!

When Stevie Wonder played this song at Aretha Franklin's funeral today it took on a whole new importance to Johnny. He's always loved this song but this is the song Stevie wanted to send off his dear friend and Detroit compatriot to. There will always such a bigness to this song for Johnny anymore. Add to it a proper church chorus and it was magic. 'As' getting us started tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE POLICE!

If you ever sent Johnny's LP records back scratched that'd be crossing the line. Put up your dukes woman. There are some lines a person cannot cross. A man's record collection IS that line.

The Police with 'I Can't Stand Losing You'

What the hell happened to Ace Face from Quadrophenia? He'd kick this guy's ass. This is like early Waldo shit right here.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with SANTANA!

While a freshman at Northern Michigan University, Johnny met one of those guys you meet in college who has a big impact because they too have an awesome music collection so the bonding is strong. Add to that a daily Gary Du****u buzz club in the adjoining suite and you get deep into the Santana collection. Johnny always got a kick out of this song on the Zebop album. Not every Santana fan's go-to album but it's got a great track to send you out on tonight, 'Over and Over'

On a record player, the way the Old Gods intended.

Late night open thread

You'll probably be happy to get a new late night open thread after a week of Mickey Mouse fucking cheese...

According to Genesis 1:20-22, the chicken came before the egg. (Sure Johnny's an Atheist but anything for a hand grenade in the room on this topic)

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE PIXIES!

Like Mrs Johnny used to say, "monkeys are gold." 'Monkey Gone to Heaven,' 'Shock the Monkey,' The Monkees, you get the drift.

On the list of songs that should not be hold music on a suicide prevention hotline this is probably in the top ten. Also, sludge? New Jersey? Oh come on now Pixies, don't be fence-builders. 99.999 % of that sludge was from New York. That's what Johnny told the cops at the time.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with CAROLE KING!

The new Queen of all things music, Carole King (Johnny's from Detroit he can say that). Johnny will be taking no questions but he will play the timeless 'Jazzman'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with HEART!

It is THE perfect late summer night out there kids. Set Johnny to thinking as he was at a rooftop party in his building tonight about perfect summer songs. We also like to have a big song for our last one of the evening (unless we don't) and this is a perfect match, 'Barracuda'

Not many songs sound better on a summer night.

If you're in the band and your place on the album cover is behind the goat, well, your paycheck is smaller.
