Building The Perfect Jukebox

[mattie]

for reasons that escape me, I've got Aztec Camera's Good Morning Britain on 7"

I mention it as it's yours if you want it. You'd have to very hard-up for jukebox fillers if you went for it though.

despite that feckin' muller light advert I still like Nina Simone's I got life. Or I wish I knew how it feels to be free.

I take it you're uninterested. I'll just hoy it at the neighbour's cat then.

 

[El Jefe]

Erm. Yeh. Cheers though

(dunno if i've had my 5 yet lol)

 

[dodgepot]

my soul is not articulated through fuzzy scratch noise and the flashing pretty lights of a wurlitser fail-box

then one might suggest that you don't actually *have* a soul.

Blondie - One way or the other is essential.

one might, If ones dedication to dead media was powerful enough to override ones critical faculties.

video killed the radio star

 

[yardbird]

It is NOT a jukebox without-

Oh we need a country section:

Dolly & Kenny - Islands in the Stream (I was in this real appalachian bar in Chicago once and some guy played it ALL afternoon ...until the fight broke out and the barmaid had to come out with her gun!)

Others would probably be
Charlie Rich - Behind Closed Doors
Johnny Cash - Ring Of Fire
Johnny Paycheck - Don't take Her (She's All I got)

and damn I don't think Robbie Fulks' "She Took a Lot Of Pills (and Died)" ever came out on seven

only heard this recently, but got knows why. it's fucking immense.

you should have the leader of the pack in there too, of course

 

[El Jefe]

Maybe I need TWO

there's too much fun to be had with both.

bigger houses with 'themed' rooms would make life so much easier...
