workin' as a liftie

[Meadow Skipper]

Just do theme days as a liftie.

Sunday = old school rapt
Monday = Wax Trax/ industrial
Tuesday = Motown
Wednesday = punk
Thursday = New Wave
Friday = 80s goth bands
Saturday = 80s/90s alternative

Pretty good idea, but needs a country day and maybe an opera day.

thoughts on wu-tang?

our tram operators tend to play a lot of ac/dc and that seems to be a crowd pleaser too

How about ska/ reggae day, and hair metal day?

I'd walk off the job if I had to listen to modern country music all day.

I'm enjoying this trip down musical memory lane. Stealurface, speaking of the Roots, this album should be in the mix this season for sure:

pandora reverts to the artist station but
im fuckin old school and the steros at my desk
and fucks do i miss live music so its been a lot of live albums

Gotta mix in the reggae - doubly so on spring days. I think Candide and/or Tanner (RIP) has a pretty good reggae playlist on Spotify someone sent me last year.

I have two remedies for that:

[BmillsSkier]

Sturgill, Stapleton, Waylon, Willie, Cash and Jerry Reed for Country Day.

Yeah, I had a PT job once where that's all they played and I started wondering why I was so depressed. I moved on and realized that not listening to country music was very good for my mental health. This was 2002, so whatever was popular then I guess.

[BmillsSkier]

That's why you follow Country Day with Reggae Day.

Or even some bubble gum shit just to pull em out of it. One thing you never do is follow it with Elliott Smith day.

That would be a massacre.

Heh. Or Jack Johnson.

I was into what I call "White Boy Reggae" over the summer. Sublime, Stick Figure, Slightly Stoopid, etc. Not normally my jam but it kept spirits up throughout the Covids.

You could throw 311 in that mix as well. I hadn't heard them in probably 10 years until this summer when some Grassroots came on the radio. Happy, bouncy music that I probably skied 2 entire seasons to.

Best day for music at a lift for me was maybe twenty years ago at the old Lanawee loading platform at Abasin with this tall, lanky dude with a pony tail and braided beard playing Pantera for hours as I lapped the East Wall on a storm day. Awesome.

But the best music I ever heard, generally, at a ski hill, was at Taos. Those local dudes play a funky mix of Chicano rap and other stuff I am not familiar with. I like it.

I'll add Tyler Childers, Earle, Townes, Keen, Prine, and Parsons to that mix. Maybe a few Guy Clark, Blaze Foley, Jerry Jeff, Billy Joe Shaver, and Jack Elliott tracks too.

[EWG]

I vote you devote a day to nothing but Charles Mingus. You will freak people out while having a very energetic, deeply satisfying time yourself bumping chairs to the bass.

I’m not kidding.

Also, a true country day has to include David Allen Coe if you even want me to get out of bed for it.

I hesitated putting DAC on that list. I can't listen to the music, no matter how good, of a man who made a song called "Nig**r Fucker".

That right there is XM/Sirius Outlaw Country although Mojo Nixon dropping the F-bomb every couple songs might not go over.

As I do not like country and rarely listen to it I did not know that song existed. Looked it up. I agree. David Allen Coe does not go on the playlist.

[TNKen]

this will be exacerbated by dealing with NC rednecks.

Which resort?

Nevermind, found it. check PM

The worst part is that he, to my knowledge, still sells his 'X-rated" CD or whatever it is called which includes the racist and homophobic tracks, though without his name on it. He will profit off his and the bigotry of others but won't own it.

[BmillsSkier]

Just play the Wu, that'll show him.

I recall an episode of Fallon last year with the living members of Tribe and the "old days" came up and the passing of MCA. Q-Tip said those that think the Beasties aren't great hip hop "don't know their history".

We're all entitled to our opinion, but the Beasties are flat out baller musicians.

%100 this. For what it's worth, understand pretty much all of the rap artists that created and pioneered hip hop have nothing but respect for the Beastie Boys. Every one of their albums was a hit, and they even had seven platinum selling records. They could make any kind of album they felt like and it would sell - rap, rock, punk, funk etc.

If you don't like their style of music that's fine, just try not to let that devalue their contribution to pop music.

hopefully we can all agree that hearing BB at the lift would be a plus, which is how all this got started.

100%. And we've come full circle.
