Request Line: A Greening to Remember (Part 4)

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

TRENT GREEN sits in front of a microphone, glancing around the room with some trepidation, taking in his surroundings. He reaches up, feeling a set of headphones covering his ears. He glances up to see the PRODUCER tapping on the glass of the studio window.

PRODUCER: [through headphones] Okay, we’ve got our first caller on line 1. I’m putting him through.

CALLER: Hi Trent!

TRENT: [neutral, but friendly enough] Hi.

A brief pause.

CALLER: Am I on the air?

TRENT: [notices the PRODUCER frantically nodding] You sure are!

CALLER: So I was hoping you could play a song for me.

TRENT: Well, I’m not in the business of saying no…

CALLER: But I’m a little confused about the theme.  I gotta be honest, the intro was kind of cryptic.

TRENT: Mmm, let’s say abstract.  But hey, let’s try this.  How about you explain what your take is on the theme? There’s no wrong answer.

CALLER: Uh, sure.  So you were talking about writing things down, and remembering things, and mentioned Proust, so I took it to mean that this week’s theme is songs about memory and the passage of time.

TRENT: Hey, that’s great!  I like it, I really do.  So what can I play for you this fine Sunday morning?

CALLER: Tuesday afternoon.

TRENT: From Days of Future Past? Sure, you bet, Moody Blues are a great band…

CALLER: No, I mean it’s actually Tuesday afternoon.  Right now.

TRENT: Ha ha, sure, sure.  Of course it is.  I’m so used to doing the games for CBS it’s kind of automatic.  You didn’t call to talk about football, did you?

CALLER: Uh, no, not really.  Was just hoping to hear a song.

TRENT: [sees that he is getting a double thumbs up from the PRODUCER]  Well, looks like the segment producer says it’s okay, so let’s do it.  What can I play for you?

CALLER: Let’s go with a little “Younger Us” by the Japandroids?

TRENT: Can do.  Let there be rock.

I’ve always got Little River Band loaded up.

Glass Tiger was the 1980s equivalent of something really really homosexual from some other era.

I’ve been wondering about working one of these instrumentals in for a while, and this seems like a good place for it.

I’m continually disappointed by the lack of Hendrix songs on YouTube. Not sure if this’ll work via Vimeo, but here goes.

Good deal. I don’t think it’ll get into the playlist though…

Authority Zero DOUBLE SHOT coming in hot!

I mean, when the title of the song is basically in the post…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzRl4Omw5rY

I nearly forget a song for a TRIPLE SHOT about remembering. OH THE IRONING

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcsBywB2xE8

Almost let this DOUBLE SHOT get by me, probably because it’s one of only two good songs on this album.

Considering I had unlawful knowledge of this week’s theme (NO NOT CARNAL!!!!) I’ll leave this here and come back later…..
