Be a PG Disc Jockey!

[dsolo802]

A thread for the Disc Jockeys out there.

Very simple rules: Spin anything you like, just make sure there is some kind of "bridge" between what you want to play and what was played before.

The bridge can be related by . . .

• lyric topic
• group
• genre
• tonal qualities
• anything that provides a bit of a transition

Style points for witty intros, interesting or arcane info about the songs and performers. Ready?

Let me get this rolling with the song that launched the solo career of the Belfast Cowboy, a song of youth and passion in the hollow, in the misty morning and behind the stadium with the one and only, Brown-Eyed Girl

"These Eyes" was the first US top ten hit for The Guess Who in 1969. It was originally titled "These Arms".

Thank you Dsolo! And that was back long enough ago, that Van could still court the girls... Now as Pursuit of Happiness said (The band, not the poster) I can't write songs about girls anymore....I have to write songs about women"

With that in mind here's a song for all those Brown-eyed girls grown up:

So many ways to be hurt, and reasons to thank that friend who shows when all seems desperate and lost. Coldplay knows the pain, and promises to "Fix You".

Pain, Pat Metheny reflected pain in such a happy mood here as well

The search for an "answer" continues with Traffic. Looking for something like a second chance?

Dogging the heels, of high-heeled boys, the Beatles heel their dog:

And the answer lies between coffee and cigs. Who told these two could act like themselves? Great Hawaiian music on it.
