Today Kitty and I were trying to figure out the next musicial challenge for all the musicians take part in Project M. If you're not familiar with the show, 10 Madison musicians are battling to have their song played on regular rotation here on Triple M. Each week another musician gets eliminated. You can click here to find out more.
Anyway, each week the musicians have a different song writing challenge. This week we decided to make each musician draw a song title from a stack of CDs and they'll have to write a song based on the title. They'll have to use the title at least once in the song. We came up with some good ones. Here are some of the ones we decided NOT to use, although it would have been fun to hear what they would have come up with if they had to use these titles.
"My Left Foot Has It's Own Brain"
"2 Girls, 1 Cup and a Guitar"
"Susan Boyle Shuffle"
"Swine Flu Blues"
"Please Stop Listening to this Song"
"Miss California Is A Smart and Caring Individual"
Hey Jonathan-
Unrelated to your post, I didn't get a chance to call in and discuss your commentary this morning re: anyone who doesn't believe in gay marriage must hate gay people...
I am all for marriage and the rights of marriage for anyone. Love is love and commitment is the same. But, since Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton have gone on record saying, "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman"...do they then hate gay people under your theory? Will you discuss their stance on the issue, just to be fair, despite your political leanings?
Love your morning show...it's one of the things that makes this town so groovy!

I'm not sure why Pete Yorn decided to name his new music project after a European cave dwelling aquatic salamander, but if he stops by to play us some songs in Studio M, we'll have to ask him.

Today's song was written by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. It was inspired by the 1957 novel Doctor Zhivago. No one was inspired by the song this morning. It was rejected by almost all the listeners.
Today is World Goth Day, a day to celebrate the post-punk, anti-establishment, dark clothes-wearing subculture.
I'm pretty sure I was a Goth for at least for little while, for two reasons.
1) I almost hardly ever wear pastels.

Hello to all from Nfusion. Another round of challenges has moved beyond us all. Congrats to those of us lucky enough to have survived to this point. Sad to see the others eliminated as they were all very creative and talented. Good Bye to our new friends...
This morning it seemed like just about everyone was in the mood for some Funky Cold Medina...except Kitty. This ridiculous song made it all the way to number 3 in 1989. Jonathan says any song that references advertising dogs from the 80's has got...

It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
