Wednesday Coffee Break: Some Dirty Sax

Posted at 8:45 AM on February 23, 2011 by Steve Seel (38 Comments)
Filed under: 9:30 Coffee Break

Today's 9:30 Coffee Break theme comes suggested by Bob Hicks of St. Paul, who writes: "First, what's not to like about the double entendre nature of the theme? Secondly, there's nothing like a little dirty sax to get the blood flowing." So help us put together a set featuring some sweet, wailin' saxophone this morning.

Songs played:
Madness "One Step Beyond"
Morphine "Honey White"
Deerhunter "Coronado"
The Waitresses "I Know What Boys Like"
Beck "New Pollution"
The Champs "Tequila"

Maybe too obvious, but anything by Morphine. Honey White is always fun.

Hey Steve and Jill,

How about:

Shotgun by Junior Walker
What You Need by INXS

...and of course,

Yakety Sax by James Q. "Spider" Rich

"Careless Whisper"- George Michael. That's some saxy sax, right there.

I am a fan of older DMB. The dirtiest song they do has to be "Repunzel", with some sweet blasting sax. Otherwise, "Crush" is super smoove. RIP Leroy.

"Space Oddity" - David Bowie.

"Comanche" - The Revels (as heard during that scene at Zeb's in "Pulp Fiction")

Posted by IndyR | February 23, 2011 9:15 AM

Katy Perry - TGIF (from yesterday's No Apologies)

and I second Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty... POLICE ACADEMY IN THE HOUSE!

Posted by Chris | February 23, 2011 9:15 AM

"Biggest Star" from The Elected's album "Sun, Sun, Sun." That's some high quality bari sax.

Posted by Matt | February 23, 2011 9:16 AM

Oh, and I second (third, fourth) anything by Morphine. "Honey White", "Thursday", "Cure For Pain"...whatever.

Low Spark of High-heeled Boys- Traffic

Sexual Healing- Hot 8 Brass Band , I first heard these guys open for Garage A Trois on a riverboat in New Orleans. They did a cover of So Fresh and So Clean that was absolutely sick. Garage's sax player Skerik is probably the most innovative around these days. This is the second time I have heard the sax is making a comeback on the Current and that's indicative of what is wrong with this station. The sax never went anywhere. The djs need to look beyond bands with just guitar,bass, and drums. How boring can you get?
