The 'Spill 
Muddy Waters – Forty Days and Forty Nights
DOND!
BTW last week’s RR thread is still open for comments if it makes sense to continue over on The Mothership to prevent overloading The Spill.
just commenting to follow comments, but I have a good one for a few in the future
Just to move it along Bruce Springsteen and American Skin (41 Shots).
This is a song written by Bruce Springsteen, inspired by the police shooting death of Amadou Diallo. A huge amount of controversy surrounded the aftermath of this event, as you would imagine.
Dond, the live version from the 2000 New York gigs is a classic !
The day football came home…….4-2!
Where are you?
I have a 43 and a 44 – anyone wants to baggsie one number first be my guest.
i have a 43 and a 44 – anyone wants to baggsy either (or both) of those numbers first be my guest.
I’ve got 45 so come on – let’s be ‘aving you!
ok. then i guess i ought to quit for awhile.
Rufus Wainwright – Sonnet 43
Nails – 88 Lines About 44 Women
Julian Cope – Upward at 45 degrees
big dond for that one, I love Mr Cope. I have a 48, but no you tube link and I’m retiring now, so I’ll leave it, happy bidding everyone.
that sounds rude.
Amy, check your floral email addy …
I’ll leave Elvis C to someone else. But here’s Babybird channelling Meatloaf, in 45 and fat
I’ll also leave LCD Soundsystem (33:45), and move on up to Swing 48 from the incomparable master of gypsy swing, Lollo Meier.
Dang, that means I’m disqualified from bidding a cracker for 49 from Howlin’ Wolf, by the ‘wait three goes’ rule! I’ll add it later….
Tool – 46 & 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH0qYhAvtXk
Grieg: Lyric Pieces, Op. 47 No 3, in A minor – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5l3XG6ucOE
One in the morning here, but just been woken up by my phone dinging with a message from Stateside.
Just clicking on follow-up enabling, then if Amy doesn’t reply quick it’s back to sleep.
Deffo still in this game though, when I get back to my desk in the morning.
I got your email – fingers crossed i can meet the family Immel for a coffee manana.
Thanks –
48 hours – The Clash
Days of 49 – Bob Dylan
Don’t even really like this one much, but someone had to do it.
Paul Simon – 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover
otoh, i so love this one.
Strokes – 12:51
Billy Joel – 52nd Street
Was going to pounce on Joel’s 52nd Street but sleep got in the way – still, moving one street over:
The Ramones – 53rd & 3rd
Only just caught up with this fine endeavour.
Toots & the Maytals: 54-46 Was My Number
I see someone’s already got your number. I was just about to invite you to step out on the floor at 54. Chic: “Le Freak”. Maybe next time.
I’ve got a 56 if someone can oblige with a 55.
The Go-Betweens have it Right Here.
Right Here “You’re 32 but you look 55.”
Well remembered, fuel…
Or Ol’ 55, The Eagles
Assuming the above does’t count because Fuel’s does..
56 – Ali Farka Toure
Oh sorry Fuel – – didn’t read your post.
Anyway am now disqualified from 57 which I’m sure somebody will think of, and 58 which I can’t think of, and 59 which again I think someone is sure to think of.
I do have a 60 in mind…..
And that should have been an apology to leaveitallbehind, not to Fuel. Gah!
It did get confusing there, but the Ali Farka Toure is a great shout.
Cheerio.
No worries Suzi, not been able to log on until now but it would have been John Denver and Along For The Ride (’56 T-Bird)
I believe RT’s Valerie‘s fifty-seven things she’s never going to use
*got*
Dond!
Or 57 Channels, by some yankee or other…
Siouxsie & the Banshees – Carcass
“58th variety!”
OK it’s a bit of a shoehorn!
There’s a tap-in for the next bid… AIP, tinny or DsD should push it into the net (I’m not so fond of the song myself)
Was it by the Gaslight Anthem by any chance? Seems to have made its way onto my iPod care of the RR massive.
uh huh… that’s the one, bish.
I thought to myself, I’d add Husker Du’s “59 Times the Pain” to this list but once again work interferes and we’re already up to 61.
Simon and Garfunkel – 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin Groovy)
Yep that one too.
My Heart Is Living In the 60s Still – The Saw Doctors
or 60 years on, by Elton
17.11.70 is such a great record, Really tight band he had then…
Anyone for 61, apart from the obvious one?
Well I’ve got a fave about Robert Johnson meeting the devil at 61/49 Clarksdale, but as I sneaked in an obscure one for 55 (and 10) I’ll let that nom slip away..
No one seems to want to pop this in so I am going to crash the rules to get us moving
Bob Dylan – Highway 61 Revisited
I’m the man for you, baby!
MC5 – Rocket Reducer No. 62 (Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa)
I’d do New Order’s year-based one if I didn’t think we’d need it in 1,900 songs’ time…
December 63 (Oh What a Night) The Four Seasons
Ah there we go! Much better.
When I’m 64 – The Beatles
But it also contained The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.
you beat me to it, i was going to leave the obvious follow up to someone else.
Route 66 of course.
Here’s a twofer.
Questions 67 And 68 – Chicago
and of course a headslap for forgetting about 25 or 6 to 4.
And there goes my Alarm – 68 Guns too.
Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin – 69 Anee Erotique
oh well done, saved us from Bryan Adams.
Oh god yes, anything to avoid that!
Sorry, poor accents there and no link, let’s try again
Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin Р69 ann̩e ̩rotique

putting one in early Hillage (19)84 aktivator with turn of the century not far away

Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
Vanilla Sky
70 Miles Away: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ueP_rXeEOI
I have one for 74 (no, not that one). Any takers for 71-73?
I have one for 72…
Sorry. Hope the James song was it.
A contentious choice:
James – 72
Oh, it wasn’t, actually. But donded, so it’s all good, hadn’t thought of that…
It was DBT’s 72 (This Highway’s Mean).
Off to think about 73., then!
Nice one Lambre. I’ve been out in the garden all morning attacking my wall with a lump hammer & chisel, so have missed all the fun so far today.
Gotta go, so to spare us the Connells, here’s Dublin band Bell X1 with 74 Swans
Earworm warning goes with this one.
Ride Captain Ride – Blues Image
Seventy-three men sailed up
From the San Francisco Bay,
Well can we still have The Connells for 75?
The Connells – 74-75
I much prefer Shearwater’s 74-75 (fifferebt song altogether. a strsnge coincidence)
Maybe Chris can find a ’71 deadjam.
In th meantime, don’t like to leave a hole, so with an epic shoehorn –
Stones – Dead Flowers
(1971)
God, Mick Taylor’s guitar…
OK, amy, this long-time ’71 fave links to the Stones and Route 66. I’ll make no guitar-playing comparisons….
Go easy, Mick Taylor wasn’t around when the Stones did Not Fade Away…
The shoehorns are going to get more and more industrial size though…
and you know i could never diss Jerry’s guitar…
different… damn phone, damn fingers!
severin starts slowly counting trombones……….
Probably 76 of them altogether….
Just to move things along. Ed ” Kookie” Byrnes et al.
Theme from 77 Sunset Strip
Or there’s Twink and the Fairies Do it 77
Now I can’t have Vampire Weekend, so I’ll leave that to someone with posting rights!
Kirsty comin’ up shortly…
or there’s Maladie D’Amour – Michel Sardou
The love disease – it affects everyone from 7 to 77 –
Elle court elle court La maladie d’amour Dans le
coeur des enfants De sept à soixante
dix-sept ans
Gomez: “78 Stone Wobble”, innit.
Dond!
Damn! Both of my 79 faves (referencing the year) are actually properly titled as “1979”.
Never mind; here they are anyway as I’m unlikely to be around when we get up near the 2000 mark.
Heads up call @ Amy in particular for the first one if she doesn’t already know it.
Lucero – 1979
The Toy Dolls – Back in 1979
So if I’m getting 79 anyway, let’s have
Lemon Jelly – ’79 (AKA The Shouty Track)
don’t know it, will have a listen
nb – my phone should be hooked up now
Stiff Little Fingers – hint – but I can’t bid again yet.
Too late anyway.
Around the World in 80 Days – I’ll go for Bing’s version
By the way, I really, really, REALLY want eighty-six …..
Oh. Rats. And eighty-seven too …
😦
Decisions, decisions …
Ok, just to keep it going, i had a Google. And as barbryn seems to be awol…
Joanna Newsom – ’81
You peeps are amazing!
Lesson learned: never underestimate the collective knowledge (or the goodwill) of ‘Spill-RRers
DsD is right – we need a 1-???? list at the end of this
Should we wait for another Fred?
I’ll do you a list.
tin: Do you need help?
fuel: I know what I am doing. Don’t tell me what to do all the time
😉
Damn, had to go out, and missed my slot at 80 with Kirsty McColl – here it is anyway I’m going out with an eighty year old millionaire
The Shins – Fall of ’82 “>The Shins – Fall of ’82
And now fintan has beaten me to 82 (no problem, it’s only a game, grrr). Here’s Roots Manuva anyway, with Motion 82
Now I’ll sit on my hands til 86…
uh-oh!
Are we starting a new thread or do we need an 83? I have a weak offering for it if we do it’s a Guy Clark number if we can club together A Nickel for the Fiddler I know one from Kentucky who’s 83.
Okay, I’ll shoehorn in Simple Minds – New Gold Dream for 83. If you fancy something else, please suggest it.
Sorry, DsD, I forgot you had baggsied 86, so I’ll leave IAK to you, and go for 84 with Growing’s Camera 84
Ta, GHE, but I’m not even Klootin’ !
R.E.M. alert ahead….
Is someone going to chuck in some more Lemon Jelly, so that I can get my eighty-six in?
I’ve got some Broken Social Scene, but I’m disallowed by tinnies rules (or as calls them – ‘rules, schmules’)
maybe it’s time to relax those rules a bit.
maybe it’s time to relax those rules a bit.
There’s one in every crowd 🙂
ahem, ‘he’ calls them
There’s Bowling For Soup if we don’t mind a redundant 19….
bah, missed 83rd dream by the cult.
I’m donding the Cult even if they were late to the party. By the way is anyone going to see them in Cardiff or Exeter?
In the interests of progress, then, here’s Broken Social Scene withAlive in 85
Tinnie, it’s all Amy’s fault, honest…
i it’s all Amy’s fault, honest…
Don’t worry, I’ve got my beady eyes on her
Have you? In that case can you tell her Gordon’s waiting for her on the beach til 2pm. After that he’s g-o-o-o-n-n-n-n-e, maaan!
I’m more of a wisecrack-from-a-distance person than an actually-get-involved person
The floor is yours, DsD…
Subcircus – 86’d
Got a link ready to go when I get home again.
Cheers all.
Did you ever do a link?
No, I didn’t. Here it is:
Bowie and ’87 and Cry
Cheers, Liab9.
That means I can now tell you that if I hadn’t been allowed to wave at the auctioneer on 86, I’d have been bidding –
$87 And A Guilty Conscience That Gets Worse The Further I Go
😉
I think i used up my 88 with the Nails. I have a shoehorn 89 if no one else steps up, and a valid 90.
oh, just to be cleaar, my Nails doesn’t count for 88 beause i used it for 44.
Got a valid 90 too 😉
Rocket 88 – Jackie Brenston
Is there anyone out there who likes OMD? 😉
that was for 88 but fortunately severin has saved the day.
I’m sure if Mitch were around we would have had:
Jackie Brenston & His Delta Cats – Rocket 88
just found out i have to fly out of here – these are my 89 and 90, feel more than free to override them.
Public Enemy – Fight the Power
(19)89
George Michael – Freedom ’90
People Like Us – I’m 89
I have a very good 92 if anyone has a 91?
I’m impatient, so here it is, Siouxsie and the Banshees with 92 degrees from the Tube in 1986 no less.
Tindersticks – Talk To Me [’91 Version]?
Stars – Life 2: The Unhappy Ending “Leaves the exit doing 91.”
Wire – Map Ref. 41°N 93°W :
There were people jumping the queue, so that was my pick for 41. More infor soon.
K. Make Mine a Bloody Valentine.
Or maybe 93 Till Infinity – Souls of Mischief
Great to see you joining in Shoey. That “does not play well with others” line on your report card? Strike that.
Nope, that part’s still true.
Thank God. My world went topsy-turvy for a few minutes
🙂
(lest anyone misunderstand)
The playlist looks like this:
Where there is uncertainty, queue-jumping, song title but no artist expect a Fuel insert or possible remix. Sometimes I’ve rearranged things to get a nom in (see the numbers around 83). Sometimes I let a second suggestion sit in next to a first suggestion. BTW. You can do your own list. You can complain all you want I don’t care. There are some songs on the list I will never listen to a snippet of again if possible. I’m sure you’ll feel like that with some of my selections. The skip button is your friend.
Oh! I also ignored people shouting out songs with numbers and not coming back. I appreciate that it’s a time thing, but I’ve also got cricket to watch you know and I’ve missed making lots of suggestions too.
I’m slightly (showing Finnsh restraint) overwhelmed by your effort here Mr Fuel. Above and beyond is the first thing that comes to mind. An excuse for day drinking is the second 🙂
Day drinking is a good thing.
Unrelated story revealing something of the Finnish character.
Teemu Selanne (ace ice hockey player) and friends were drinking at a golf club nearby and had run up a huge bar bill. My friends wandered in and ordered two beers. The barman asked if he should put it on the tab. My friends looked at the tab and said “No, we’re not with them.” and paid their way. The tab was well over €4,000 and I’m sure he wouldn’t have minded. Probably the price of two beers is a minute on the ice for Selanne, but they just wouldn’t want to take advantage of a stranger.
Goodnight.
@Fuel Day drinking in Seattle

Not in the least offended if you ignore my shoehorns for more on topic tunes.
Hi RTJ, I actually feel a little bit bad about ignoring something as good as Public Enemy. But – as the absolute dictator – I’m twisting the rules to suit myself. (Notice how I managed to get in a song with a cricket reference for 32.)
Well done Fuel. Many thanks for this.
Cheers leaveitallbehind. I think I’ve ignored a couple of your suggestions when you’ve had consecutive shouts. For example, I ignored your Springsteen nom for a personal fave, Wire, for number 41. Sorry about that. Bruce’s song, the story is referenced by a line in Keren Ann’s “101”. I was very surprised that no one mentioned that.
sorry if I jumped the gun with my Siouxsie and the Banshees song, or shouted and went away, thanks for doing the playlist, Fuel.
You’re lucky that I love Siouxsie and the Banshees. 😉 (I’m not applying even my own rules consistently.) I just had a quick look at the new thread and I think the rules will have to be bent even more. Er… I think I’ll have to encourage cheating.
Are we starting a new thread at 100?
My phone is staring to creak again.
One in every crowd, again 🙂
good idea. When the time comes place your bids over 100 here:
http://thespillblog.co.uk/2013/08/23/it-shall-be-auction-time-part-iii/
I am hoping we are up to 94 now? If it is okay I would like to suggest Crop Circle Jerks 94 by Megapuss who are Devendra Banhart and friends and very hit and miss.
John Waite – I-95
Couldn’t find, so substituted with another I-95 referencing song.
the blizzard of ’96 – the walkmen
? & the Mysterians: “96 Tears”. You’re all very kind.
Damn, I was just crawling in with Third World’s 96 Degrees In The Shade
It’s a jungle out here deb
So I’ll offer Wreck of the Old 97 (Johnny Cash) instead
Dond!
Lovers of Americana shouldn’t have any trouble with 97…
Ah yes!
Opal – Northern Line
Dond (not what I was thinkin’ of originally…)
I stumbled across this from the bold marauder. Kendra Smith – Northern Line Live at Terrastock II 1998 Tis a shame that that seems to have been her last concert. Interludes
Wreck of the Old 97 – Johnny Cash
debbym got there first! other versions available
Er, would 98.6 by Keith count? 🙂 (sickly smile)
Wilson Pickett: “Ninety-Nine And A Half Won’t Do” – see also Dr Feelgood…
Beats your Red Balloons.
Ties with Ms Vega
One Hundred Years From Now – The Byrds
Beats your Red Balloons
Perhaps not. Nina is German, which has that metric system. 99 balloons is 138.6 imperial balloons, which doesn’t scan at all.
Oh dear, I missed out on one I was saving up. Sonny Boy with Ninety nine
And it would have been Ann Peebles – 99 Pounds for me.
So I’ll weigh in instead with Joe Pug, with a Dylanesque Hymn #101
Love to see Pug becoming routine here!
I can cover 101-104 but would like 103 if others can oblige?
