Comment:

" PUT THAT MAN DOWN!" are , of course, the first words spoken by Peter Boyle as the monster in Young Frankenstein which, after the original, is my favorite Frankenstein movie. French Connection turned me onto this idea; I don't know if it's the same as what other people have been doing or not. 1) Song from last record you bought: I just got Lou Reed's NYC MAN, a double best-of, all digitally remastered. Most people wouldn't start with an 11-minute opus, but then, I'm not most people. 2) A blues: This was tougher, but Charles Brown filled the bill pretty well. 3) Song that gets you moving in the morning: Lotta choices here, but this is a current fave, and it ensured Ryan got on the tape. 4) A Romantic song: Anyone else figure Neil got treated pretty good by Pegi after he wrote this for her? 5) Earliest record you remember: the first rock record my Mom bought me was The Beatles Greatest Hits 1967-1970. This was one of my faves from it. 6) A song *discovered from a film: Blatant cheating here. I don't often discover music from films, and by the time I remembered Hedwig, I'd picked this, which comes from ' Six Feet Under' a TV show. 7) Song by favorite band: Is Bob Dylan a band? He *has* a band. He's my favorite, anyway. 8) Song by an artist you don't like, but a song you do: Cheating again, in that this is a cover. I don't tend to have artists I don't like in my collection, but I loathe Hank, Jr., yet I love his version of Big River from the Cash tribute. 9) Lullaby: I don't know if Emmylou singing *about* the king of sleep really counts as a lullaby, but it's the best I could do. 10) A song that makes you laugh: Man, this is a hard thing to do. songs that make me laugh are few and far between, but " ernold Same" is good for a giggle, and I threw in " Yellow submarine", too, because the tape had a little too much time left on side A, and it gets me chucling, too. 11) A good cover song: Uh, I'd say that Bowie dragging Springsteen through the late-70s, cocaine fashion-victim discofied madness thang pretty much defines good cover. 12) A song that reminds you of school: In 1984, I had spiky hair; I was 16; I owned Echo's 5-song EP and listened to "The Cutter" like it was my freakin' religion. Sophomore year, man... 13) Guilty Pleasure Song: This was a no brainer. I cannot rationalize or justify my love of Bonnie Tyler. Now I share my dark and shameful secret with the world. 14) FUNKY: Also a no-brainer. Al Green is my Right Reverend of Soul and Funk. 15) Rainy Day Song: am I s'posed to have all these covers on this tape? Prob'ly not, but this is such a good rainy day track. 16) Hapy Song-- No Matter When: A mess of Steve Earle songs qualify under this heading, but " Guitar Town" is my pick. A toe-tapper. 17) Song with "Look" in the title: Bowie was the only artist who even came to mind. Sorry about repeating artists on a side and all, but... 18) Dead Rockers Society: Okay, this was probably obvious, but how could I resist? plus, it gets that whole back-to-back thing. 19) Elvis!: All I can say is I heard " stuck on You" while I was taping the Nirvana. Hard to go wrong with the King. 20) Wildcard song: Too many repeat artists and I know it, but this Crazy Horse cover was all loose and shambolic and grungy and just suited the tone of the project. Also, it was long. 21) Song from the record you just bought: A little time left, so I looped and included The Meters, since I also just picked up Look-a Py-Py. And that does it for the Frankenstein Project, which I might try again, but not soon!
