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.
Apparently a song to everyone’s favorite highway!

Has anyone taken Baker Street? I’m gonna go with “people I played with but not on the album” for my first pick, because I can.

Before they got big, all the Bee Gee boys had to turn tricks. They focused in on the theatre-going crowd. This is their story.

George Benson chose that life as well. He used the proceeds to buy his first guitar.

Kraftwerk’s subtle salute to Hitler? Or did they just want to make car sounds with synthesizers?

It was fun how our whole family – all three kids and even my straight-laced Mom – all loved this song. I don’t recall if we ever heard while Dad was around.
But this song just FUCKS.
Just lie back and enjoy the song, cuz it’s gonna happen either way.
Anyone else feeling groovy on a Friday afternoon? So bizarre.

Put this in your back pocket; you’ll need it in a few weeks.
Looking forward to “Songs by Crazy Emotive Chicks”
Nope, the rules were very explicit for a reason. There’s like a million road/street/avenue songs.

Here’s one from an album that’s in my top 10 favorites of all time, even if Pete Townsend is an asshole

Everything I’ve read about him indicates he was a primo asshole but he could write a tune or two.

The boy was telling me about a podcast series that covered his entire career but mainly focused on the Velvet Underground. He said the same thing about Reed, about how much of an ass he could be.
Great tune.
That whole album is outstanding. I think it’s his best solo one.
I loved this song in high school:

Today’s my 27th anniversary. Beat that, Scott Adams of Dilbert! Oh, wait, you can’t, because you’re ridiculously much younger wife dumped you and left you with her children by another man.
Anyhoo, just went to kiss my wife and remind her that 27 years ago we were at the church and got shushed, because General Hospital is on.
Truly, the magic is gone.
I’ll be there in just over two months. What’s the traditional 27th gift? Is it sodium?
Got something for that!
