INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY
The recording studio at KDFO looks much as we’d remember it from the before-time. There is no evidence of the PRODUCER’s long descent into quarantine madness, or of DJ 3000’s current service with the Ukraine Air Force piloting a Turkish Bayraktar drone. The PRODUCER is seated at his desk, jingling a set of keys.
PRODUCER: …and then his kids are going to have to…
DJ 3000: BLYAT!…[long pause, followed by barely audible trash talk in what sounds like a Slavic language module]…SORRY, WHAT WERE YOU SAYING?
PRODUCER: I was just saying that our ad sales director Jason took a new position. In Indiana.
DJ 3000: HUH.
PRODUCER: And you’ll never guess who he asked to help him move.
DJ 3000: OH MAN THAT SUCKS.
PRODUCER: I know, right?
DJ 3000: HE CAN’T HIRE MOVERS?
PRODUCER: He’s already stretched really thin scraping together the down payment for his new house.
DJ 3000: MAN, WHO MOVES TO INDIANA IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINTER?
PRODUCER: Radio market is still pretty good out there. He’s going to be making more money out there than he is here.
DJ 3000: IT’S THOSE FLAT LANDSCAPES. THEY CAN BROADCAST FOREVER OUT THERE.
PRODUCER: Plus those talk radio listeners, man…it’s not just drive time for them. They’ll listen all day. You can stretch a “seven signs of evil” countdown into sixteen ad breaks.
DJ 3000: SO ARE YOU GONNA HELP?
PRODUCER: I rather not, but he was there when I needed him. Bailed me out of a hell of a jam.
DJ 3000: THAT THING WITH THE FCC?
PRODUCER: Yeah. I figure I owe him.
DJ 3000: INDEED YOU DO.
PRODUCER: So I’m gonna be driving a box trick while he drives his Subaru.
DJ 3000: WHY DON’T YOU DRIVE HIS SUBARU, AND MAKE HIM DRIVE THE BOX TRUCK?
PRODUCER: Yeah, good point. I’ll do that. But even then, I’m still gonna need some road trip music.
DJ 3000: NO SHORTAGE OF OPTIONS THERE. ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE IT INTO A REQUEST LINE TOPIC?
PRODUCER: I’ll need to limit it a bit more than just generic road trip music.
DJ 3000: HOW ABOUT ONLY SONGS THAT HAVE “STREET” OR “ROAD” IN THE TITLE?
PRODUCER: I like it. You got something to start us off with?
DJ 3000: I SURE DO. RELEASE THE MACHINES!
Today’s theme is: Streets and Roads. Song requests must include the word “street” or “road” (or “avenue” or “boulevard” or whatever). Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d03any0N3doPUzz735anyMoR3?” and they should embed in the comments after you refresh. Last weeks’ puzzle answer was “White Wedding” by Billy Idol.

Oof! “The Long and Winding Road” should have been on the first page.
I’m surprised I didn’t miss it and am not hearing Blair Witch references….
Yeah, should have been a Penny Lane double shot.

Last one for me…in honor of seeing them in Vegas in a few weeks…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU64EePta6Y&ab_channel=Scorpions-Topic
If they don’t play this tune you didn’t get your money’s worth
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbFWxmQtYKI&ab_channel=Scorpions
That song does, indeed, shred.
Good late round value
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDKO6XYXioc&ab_channel=BoyzIIMenVEVO
Haven’t heard this one in a while
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfNy9J-lcuU&ab_channel=BillyIdol-Topic
Pretty sure it’s illegal to listen to this song without drinking whiskey.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyCc4miQnos&ab_channel=TomWaits
It wouldn’t play for me until I put some in a glass and had a sip.
Sometimes when I say, “Mark Knopfler’s work from ’78 to ’88 was the greatest 10 year run that any guitarist has ever had!”, people call me a ‘fanboy’. smgdh…

The ad in the middle really brings the entire point together.
Pretty amazing cover of a pretty difficult song

Shoutout To Henry Ruggs! (I hate The Eagles, btw)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUIO4QTB2VM&ab_channel=AdyKuY
DOUBLE SHOT since you love the Eagles
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTvT4JNACss&ab_channel=TheEagles-Topic
Way, way back in the day I was drunkenly sing/shouting this tune with a few buddies when I happened to notice a girlie that I had a crush on, staring at me. We got together. She cheated on me. I hate The Eagles.
Like Romeo and Juliet had a four-way with Sid and Nancy.
They don’t write em like this any more

My name is SonOfSpam and I liked this song when I was a teenager. Thank you for listening.

Gotta repave that road…too many skid marks.
This is so out of character. Are you ok?
Possibly my favorite song ever written in honor of Anne Sexton
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYw9UrsFJa4
She was the chick that was so bad at cooking she suck her head in an oven and ended it all. Correct?
(Alex Trebek voice): “Ooh, sorry, you’re thinking of Sylvia Plath, whereas Ms Sexton was so bad at driving she forgot to open her garage door.”
Good song for head-nodding with white man overbite

We’re at the point where this should have posted. Twice. Maybe three times if Spam isn’t paying attention.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ3Bb4UsXhU&ab_channel=SirEJ47
Yeah but you forgot this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ3Bb4UsXhU
This tune also goes by the name of “The Laneway Formerly Known As Alphabet Street”.
