"My 3 Songs" for Wednesday, April 25th

Posted at 2:42 PM on April 25, 2007 by Steve Seel (1 Comments)

A "radio" set -- without any of the obvious choices! Hallelujah! Craig Michael of Mpls gets a big gold star for that.

1) The Clash, "Capital Radio One"
2) The New Pornographers, "The Electcic Version"
3) Talking Heads, "Radio Head"

Craig says, "'Radio Radio' by Costello, Ramones 'Rock n' Roll Radio' and Regina Spektor 'On the Radio' would make six songs..." but, as I said, thanks Craig for leaving those off the list for a change. I mean, when do we get to hear "Capital Radio One," for Pete's sake? It's not even "Radio Clash"!!! Bravo.

Speaking of radio, have we all dipped a toe into Radio Free Current yet? If you miss out, you may regret it.

For the best book on the Ramones read,
"On The Road With The Ramones"
http://www.ontheroadwiththeramones.com

This is a MUST-HAVE book for all Ramones fans. It's an inside look from the people who were actually there witnessing and experiencing all the extreme highs and lows of one of rock's greatest bands. The Ramones' music has influenced nearly every power pop, punk, alternative, and metal band. Monte A. Melnick served as The Ramones tour manager from their early New York club days at CBGB's in the '70s to their farewell gigs in 1996. Filled with memorabilia including photographs and interviews collected along the way, this is his view of life on the road with the band as "baby-sitter to psychiatrist, booking agent to travel agent, paymaster to van driver." It's such a fascinating read, you'll have a hard time putting it down. Buy it, read it, and then revisit their albums. You'll never look at the Ramones in the same light.
