RE: Zivan’s 100
I find it funny that I played name that tune with the mystery disc, and the only song I had no clue about was from Graham Coxon. As a dyed in the wool blur fan it’s a bit of a statement about how I feel about the solo work. Anyway on to the rest of the songs. Lot’s to like here, REM, Jellyfish, Radiohead all passed easily. In fact it’s a bit hard for me to rip on anyone who has so many good choices. Kate Bush earns extra points, and having the guts to include that Dolly Parton track wins you bravery points in my book. Picking Emotional Rescue shows that this was not a drill, and David is not playing to the crowd which is always good to see. My fondness for Squeeze and Pavement will help to further tether my distain for the likes of Smoke on the effing water! Smoke on the water would make my worst 100 list. As for Lump, I hear the hook it’s just not catching me, I feel like spongebob just riding the lure and letting go. I can’t really endorse Night Moves either, but hell man you put the Three degrees on here so I can’t rip you at all. I’m pretty sure I’ve turned that Three degrees song up everytime I’ve heard it. You won’t draw me offsides with the likes of AC/DC or Jet either as I believe there is a place in this world for rawk power chords. Philadelphia Freedom will probably get you some stick here, but it reminds me of Shawnee Kansas backyard baseball so I won’t go there. I was already tarred and feathered for letting bad music slide because I had nice memories associated with it.
There’s plenty of sure fire jukebox hero homeruns on here Radio radio, middle of the road, & Sabotage are all solid as a rock.
It’s a shame the Ben Folds Five were never as good as that first record. I really thought they were going places and while they had their moments it was never quite like that again.
I’ll let you slide on the time it took as well, since I’m on deck and I spent Christmas trying to get started. I may throw out Dylan, Beatles, Stones, Who, Sinatra etc just in the interest of getting this thing done before ‘06’
For the most part I dig your party mix, and if you throw out Smoke on the water, and Night moves I think we’re good.

I watching the Fuse channel the other night and stopped on an interview with Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon. Both were seperate interviews. It's hard to judge a person's creative genius by purely on personality. However, Albarn came off as likeable and a fan of all sorts of music, but not neccesarily guitar music, although he gave Super Furry a big plug. Coxon came off as a cocktoast --- tearing down stuff he didn't like and bitching about how his guitar genius was ignored in Blur. He says he listened to Parklife (genius, genius, genius) recently and couldn't stand it.
Hey Graham: Most music fans who've listen to your solo work can't stand that. So have fun with your guitar wanking. I'm hoping Blur will get back on track without you.
