Tuesday Tunes - Week 21

From Music Memoirs


What if you had a $100 gift card to the music store of your choice, what would you buy? I've been waiting patiently to qualify for the $100 Amazon Gift Card from my bank. If I ever get it, I intend to take down my wish list. 2 Over The Rhine CDs, 2 Gordon Lightfoot CDs and 2 HEM CDs and if there was anything left over I'd get something from Amazon Marketplace.

What if you had the chance to see your favorite band play anywhere in the world, what band would it be, and where would you be seeing them?
I'm a lame person. I'd want to see Gordon Lightfoot from a casino in Atlantic City. I have no desire to see anyone outside the US. I'd like to be in the front row somewhere like the Borgata or The House Of Blues. And I'd have the bonus of seeing the ocean that I love and miss dreadfully while I was there. It couldn't get better for me.

What if you had a chance to have a job in the music industry, what job would it be and why did you choose it?
Would it be bad of me if I said I wouldn't mind nabbing the job of a certain irksome DJ? Probably but I wouldn't mind having his job for a bit. He gets to torture the listening public with some of the worst oldies out there. Oops did I say that The Pickle plays crap? Yes, I did. 99.3 The Pickle plays crap oldies, however their crap oldies are slightly better than some of the other crap that's played, so that's what I listen to.

But back to why I want his job. He gets to interview some moderately interesting people and he gets to MC some cool concerts, even though he doesn't think so. Mind you, from the look of the concert schedule this year, I don't want his job right now. Lots of crap is sponsered by The Pickle this year. Lots of crap.
