Another Saturday Night - The Essentials [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-11-30 So I finally saw the movie Ghost World a couple weeks ago. Steve Buscemi plays an avid collector of 78’s and at one point, his character drops this line: What the “essentials” are is never explicitly defined in the movie, but it was enough to prompt me to use it as tonight’s theme. How you define the essentials—the music you can’t live without, the best/greatest music, or some other definition—is up to you. Personally, I went with the first definition, as music is an art form, and art either speaks to you or it doesn’t. Thomas Jefferson once said, “I cannot live without books.” I cannot live without The Clash… so here’s “London Calling” Abbey Road is an essential album…. change my mind, as the meme goes Beatles :: Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End And to finish, another essential album (even if you don’t… indulge); Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd :: Brain Damage/Eclipse Gentle reminder: Please continue to put the name of your selection in your comment along with your song. Those of us on our phones appreciate it. Also, people using screen readers need this in order to identify the video. You know how this works — Put your quarter in the slot and your song in the comments. This is your Saturday night jukebox and the party starts NOW~! Thanks for playing along! Cheers, all!
