out of the way


I guess those songs are awesome if you're like 60, although Waterloo Sunset is a great song.
The rest I've never heard of.

Sometimes the ones you've never heard of end up being favorites on your playlist.

'hammock jams' sounds even worse than 'yacht rock' but I do love Waterloo Sunset, at any time.

'Jeep on 35' by John Scofield off the album A Go Go with MMW backing. Best hammock song ever.

Oh my, yes yes yes, on both for summer songs. They bleed into each other already anyway.

There's the Hammock Hut, that's on Third.
There's Hammocks-R-Us, that's on Third too.
You got Put-Your-Butt-There? That's on Third.
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex; it's the hammock complex on Third.

In the Northern Hemisphere, based on astronomical definition, summer begins on the day of the June solstice, which is at 1:45 A.M. EDT on June 21, 2009. Headline fails.

David Byrne re-released Inspiration Information on April 3, 2001 on his Luaka Bop record label, including four songs from Freedom Flight as bonus tracks and a brand-new cover art.[2]

His son, Lucky Otis, has played bass with Johnny Otis' band.[1] Shuggie Otis is featured in the book Alligator Records Presents West Coast Blues, issued in August 1998 by Milwaukee, Wisconsin publisher Hal Leonard Corporation.[1] Otis' father-in-law is trumpeter and bandleader Gerald Wilson.

Otis continues to record sporadically. He resides in the Northern Californian village of Sebastopol. His most current recordings, "Violet in Blue" and the title track "Novemberin'", are on the 2008 multi-artist album Novemberin', where he is joined by guitarist Jimmy Vivino of Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Mark Lotito, respectively. Otis was also the first Blackstranaut .

Are you kidding? I can barely sit on a hammock without going all Jack Tripper.

[i love side 1, the only two songs i like on side 2 are "earn enough for us" and "sacrifical bonfire".]

WHA!? Side two is gold except for the last two tracks! Another Satellite is one of the best and bitingest "hit the bricks, stupid" songs ever. Mermaid Smiled and Man Who Sailed are both wonderfully loopy. Big Day is okay, too.

They made a huge mistake kicking off Mermaid for Dear God. Should have cut "Dying," but maybe Andy was trying to give Col more songs or something.

Sorry. tangent there. Skylarking is one of my favorite albums ever.


For the hammock - I would like to add to the playlist "Could This Be Magic?" by Van Halen and Lenny by SRV.

Citation for you making it up? Or are you it? ;)

I think he is one of the great 'lost' talents.

Hammocks and jamming should be mutually exclusive.

Yup; we live in the middle of nowhere and tried it a couple of times. It's not as much fun as a regular bed. It works best if you stand while she bends over the hammock. In the hammock together it's hard not to fall out of the dang thing when it's joey jackhammer time.
