One Last Time Before the Lights Go Out - Rave Recs 2015 Compilation

[ForeverAutumn]

Interesting concept. I love it!!

The song that immediately comes to my mind is Queens of the Stoneage, No One knows. That album was my first purchase based on a recommendation from this site and I still love it. But the song is pretty common place now...in fact I heard it on the radio this morning, so I might need to give this a bit more thought before I pull the trigger on that one as my pick.

As for Goth Country, I thought of this little gem that SwishDaddy first showed me. A Canadian gal (because Canadian chicks RULE!) currently living in Nashville. If you don't know of her Davey, you should check her out. I have a feeling you might like her.

I have heard of her, but hadn't got around to a listen yet, so thanks, she's good. A little like Gretchen Peters on her latest. I usually lean more toward the folk and rock side of that dark Americana sound, but a little twang in the mix is always fun too.

QOTSA is a pretty hot band. I've been on a big Mark Lanegan kick lately, and he of course joined them for a few years. What a great singer, and his own Bubblegum record from 2004 is a big favorite, along with others. They put out a 2-CD 1989-2011 Mark Lanegan anthology last year, and it's really nice, samples most of his best records. PJ Harvey is a guest on a couple of the Bubblegum song highlights, and she has also sung with QOTSA on the desert sessions, the time they performed together on Jools Holland is a big favorite of mine, pretty cool and sexy performance all around ...

She's actually a little more country than that video lets on. I'm not a big country fan, but she's got an edge that I like.

After some deliberation and many eliminations, I'm claimin' the Christmas song:

"Merry Christmas, Baby" - Chuck Berry's version included on his '64 album St. Louis to Liverpool. If you like/love Christmas, your significant other, music, and your music system; then this one will probably make you smile any time of the year. (It'd be nice to be remembered with a smile.)

Davey, good luck finding a spot for this one.

Thanks for the idea and it's good to see you around.

Thanks, and at the rate they're coming in, it'll probably be around Christmas time when we have enough songs for a comp, so your pick may fit right in ...

Wow! Long time, buddy, great to see your name after all the years, lots of good memories, and thanks for stopping by and tossing out a song, don't think that record is even out yet for maybe a couple more weeks around here. But look forward to hearing it, the single is pretty cool. All I want is to just have fun ...

A couple years ago I made one of my erratic appearances here and attempted to do a serialized half-gone 2013 comp, and it was kinda fun for a few songs but wasn't really enough interest to sustain my interest, so I finished it without much commentary, but Kurt definitely played a big role in the first part of the comp. He was track 4, and that was the end of the serialization, but it did turn out kind of fun.

Half Gone 2013 (or maybe ...lost but not forgotten)

Kurt Vile - Pretty Pimpin

I remember him opening for Pavement at The Mann when they did their reunion tour back in 2010. Nobody, and I mean nobody, paid any attention to him. People were chatting and moving around, at least those who were there early enough (The Mann has reserved seats except for the area behind the amphitheater). You really couldn't hear him very well if you wanted to. Who would have guessed he'd achieve this level of success just a few years later?
