Mary J. Blige - Family Affair
Chris starts with some Mary J! He's been doing a deep dive this week, revisiting her albums. This is a great song, nay, an amazing song!
Eagles of Death Metal - Family Affair
Chris out of the gate with the double! this song has been on reprat this week, obviously a cover of Mary J. It was so nice, we played it twice.
Childish Gambino - This is America
Jeff has been listening to him for a while now, just saw the video for the first time recently, and wow. Childish Gambino is a force of nature.
Fiona Apple - Across the Universe
Jeff's follow-up, a certified cover of an incredible Beatles song. This song always centers me and calms me. Chris got a wee bit defensive that Jeff pulled it. 🙂
John Lennon - Jealous Guy
Chris starts the next 2 pack with Lennon. We should all have a love like that, like John and Yoko. Fuck everything for love.
Elliot Smith - Just a Jealous Guy
Elliot Smith. Need I say more?
Fleetwood Mac - Landslide
Jeff's choice, this is his mom's music. Stevie's voice is just so perfect, and unique, and Stevie.
Smashing Pumpkins - Landslide
Jeff is fully aware that he played this last time, but it's a cover, and that's been the theme so far, so sue him.
Otis Redding - Try a Little Tenderness
Otis was only with us a short amount of time, but what an amazing artist, and a n everlasting impression.
Jay Z and Kanye West - Otis featuring Otis Redding
Chris continues the 2 pack. Watch the Throne, such an incredible album.
Anderson Paak - Tints, featuring Kendrick Lamar
Listening to Jay Z/Kanye Otis totally reminded Jeff of this.
Kendrick Lamar - The Recipe featuring Dr. Dre
For Chris, this is close to an island song.
Eminem - Untitled
Not quite finished yet! One of Jeff's favorites.
The Roots - In the Music featuring Malik B and Porn
Chris busting out some Roots. They get better and better every time I hear them - Jeff.
Ghost - Jigolo Har Megiddo
Jeff busts out some Ghost.
Velvet Revolver - She Builds Quick Machines
Chris with some VR. You can't go wrong with Scott Weiland and Slash.
Van Halen - Everybody Wants Some
This song gets Jeff fired up any time. Better off Dead stop motion was the shit.
Eagles of Death Metal - Oh Girl
Another Chris drop, a banger from EODM!
Sonic youth - Titanium Expose
Jeff can't get off the nostalgia train. Love the overall sound and distortion from this one.
Cat Stevens - Moon Shadow
Chris drops some wisdom - "Skip and Ad, Save a Flower" Cat Stevens brings us down to earth with a Moon Shadow
Lovin Spoonful - Daydream
When Jeff used to throw papers every morning with his Mom, this song came on with consistency, and was an indication that we were almost done. This is a touchstone to some great memories of his mom, and the hours we spent together, sometimes in conversation, sometimes in silence, just together, doing a job, and listening to music.
Grateful Dead - Dear Mr. Fantasy
Wonder who played this one.... This particular version features one of Chris' favorite pianists for the band.
The Commitments - Try a Little Tenderness
Jeff pulled out this one, and went for a 3X cover night!!!
Otis Redding - I've Got Dreams to Remember
Chris has been on a deep dive of Otis lately.
Queens of the Stone Age - Mexicola
This bass hits so fucking hard. Jeff is a sucker for this one.
Foo Fighters - Run
Chris brings us to a close with some Foo!
In closing...
27 songs overall tonight, pretty mellow, and sorry for no links to break music, the breaks were all brought to us by The Clash - San Dista!
As always, we hope you have the opportunity to have an East Bay Night with your friends every chance you get.
Chris and Jeff
