But I can tell you that I've seen almost as many Steely shows as Mike (I'm still in the upper single digits), and I agree with him entirely that this one outshone them all, beyond any question. Incredible performances. <br /><br />Mike mentioned the emphasis on deep cuts from "Countdown to Ecstasy" and mentioned in particular "Your Gold Teeth," which was sensational, but for me the highlight of the evening was also from that album, and was the haunting arrangement of "Razor Boy." Rhe vocals were performed entirely in three-part harmony by the background chick singers, in which I joined in their register, happening to know all the lyrics, much to the annoyance of Mrs. P. Whoo, gorgeous.<br /><br />WEIRD TEASING PLAINSMAN FACT FROM THAT SHOW: I've mentioned elsewhere that I've been involved in music production in the past. I was quite startled to see that a musician I hired to play on an album some dozen years or so ago (and who did so, beautifully and memorably) was on stage at the Verizon. <br /><br />You know, Donald Fagen ditched the Harry Fox Agency, the dreadful organization that has historically collected royalties for songwriters. I owe Donald a couple bucks in royalties and I actually sent a check made payable to him to what I thought was the address for his DBA, Freejunket Music, but it came back so I still owe the royalties. I shoulda taken it with and passed it up to him.<br /><br />There's your annoying MTC music talk for now.The Plainsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312877844275731926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-16723016975151224932013-09-03T21:30:41.964-05:002013-09-03T21:30:41.964-05:00Yeah, Little Red, what 747 said.

I'd rather listen to any JV show, pretty much, than any weekday show on either of the competitors, and it's not just because I'm familiar with the guys. I can't speak to the sometimes random assemblages we get on holidays or White Elephant, which are hit-and-miss. But the rest of the JV presentations are awfully good.The Plainsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312877844275731926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-86507325210576087602013-09-03T19:47:53.981-05:002013-09-03T19:47:53.981-05:00Little Red, I have to disagree with you.

This past weekend it hit me why this is so (ditto with ESPN JVs who try to emulate The Ticket): it's because most of them grew up and still listen to Gordo. He was the guy who hooked them onto the station. They still find him a comedic genius or some such. So they all try to emulate him on some level. When you get a room full of Gordo Light wannabes in a room, you get a lot of unfunny. You get poor radio.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-28575788884815907302013-09-03T13:50:09.884-05:002013-09-03T13:50:09.884-05:00The only reason Ben and Skin have Cowlishaw on so ...The only reason Ben and Skin have Cowlishaw on so much is they look at him as a celebrity (with his espn fame).
