"Atlantic City"

So there's this guy, and he's spent all his money on God knows what. Maybe just groceries and repairing his car, although he probably goes out and raises hell now and then. Problem is, now that his money's all gone he doesn't know how to impress his lady anymore. He sort of needs to, because she doesn't really love him anymore, and he's basically forgotten how. So this opportunity comes up to kill two birds with one stone, he can take her on vacation to a crumby, cut-rate, shit-ass resort town with a beach covered in used condoms, but it's a day out, right? And she might remember why she loved him, although that probably won't happen, and even so, he's got other things on his mind. Like, the only reason he got to go on this trip in the first place is because he figures if he hangs around with some criminals, problem solved. Now, these criminals don't fuck around. They kill people and blow their houses up, all that good stuff. He knows what they're into, although you get this feeling that he'll crap out when it gets down to the shit. So what he's doing is putting himself into a potentially lethal situation and sort of strongly hinting that the bitch doesn't give him shit about it because she's getting something out of it too, and deep down, he wants something out of it he knows he probably won't get, and in the end he'll probably be dead and the bitch probably doesn't give a shit.

But does he LOVE her?

And now for something completely different! The country & acoustic show! It doesn't fit with the blurb about what sort of music I play! Hey, whatever, it's still pop!

The set features two songs by Ryan Adams, at his best here as he's not really trying. He's a prolific and natural songwriter, tossing off numbers that are sometimes only pastiches of songs, filtering 70s classic rock nostalgia through (alt) country.

Also appearing is Johnnie Ray, of "Come On Eileen" fame. Almost deaf, he was the original wimp rocker, his stage antics gaining him a substantial female following. Story goes he managed to pick up Sinatra's girlfriend, and got beaten up for his trouble.

1. Ryan Adams - If I am a Stranger
2. Wilco - Jesus, etc.
3. Bonnie Prince Billy - I See a Darkness
4. Bruce Springsteen - Atlantic City
5. Johnnie Ray - Cry
6. Jonathan Richman - City vs Country
7. Hüsker Du - Never Talking to You Again
8. Nina Nastasia - This Is What It Is
9. Age Pryor - Eyes Rarely Meet
10. Ryan Adams - Rosalie Come and Go

This has been a difficult show to put together. Half a dozen of these songs just fell into place and needed to be played, but deciding on final four tracks to match their tone has been a challenge. I hope it works out and I hope that there will be much more new pop music to make my life easier next week!

1. Julez Santana - There it go (The Whistle)
2. Alexis Strum - Still Standing
3. Lady Sovereign - 9-5
4. Cut Copy - Saturdays
5. Freeform Five - Electromagnetic (Tiefschwarz Dub)
6. Severed Heads - Hot With Fleas
7. Art Brut - Bad Weekend
8. John Lennon - #9 Song
9. !!! - Me and Guiliani Down by the Schoolyard (A True Story)
10. Elizabeth City State - Year of the V-Neck
