Talk Talk - "April 5th"

[Surly]

OK, am I the only geek here who makes a point of listening to this song every year on this day? I haven't done it every single year since 1986, but quite a few of them, yes.

I never really thought to make a point of listening to it on the 5th ... until now. So I guess you're not the only geek anymore.[8D]

Cool. I'm gonna start listening to Fourth of July by Galaxie 500, Flashcubes, and X as well.

Completely outside the genre, "September Fifteenth" is an absolutely lovely song by Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays - a tribute to Bill Evans and one of my all-time favorites tracks. I just may start listening to that routinely now. Thanks Surly.

Ok then - I guess that it's now safe to add that I always listen to Wiseblood's "Someone Drowned in My Pool" on the 28th of October.

I play the Go-Betweens' "Bye Bye Pride" every May 24. I play it a lot actually, but I make a point of doing so on May 24.

It's not even that great of a song, but for some reason, I always think "Oh, I should listen to that song today" every year.

I love all the other references here. I'll have to think of more songs with dates in them to listen to!

I listened to the Patti Smith Group's "Easter" yesterday[8D]

Aww, crap! I should have listened to "East At Easter" by Simple Minds! You'd think that since they are my favorite band, I would have remembered that! Oh well, there's always next year...

I stupidly play "Fourth of July" by Galaxie 500 every July 4 and I make it a point to play "She Won't Be Home" by Erasure every Christmas morning, because it is so sad and memorable.

In September I listen to a certain Earth Wind & Fire track,
In October I listen to U2's sophomore album,
In November I listen to the November Group,
In December I listen to the Decemberists,
etc.

Yes, that is a beautiful, relaxing new-agey jazz song. Bill Evans died on Sept 15, 1980. I like the Jim Hall / Bill Evans duet album Undercurrents a lot. For example, check out the tune "Romaine". That album surprised a lot of musicians with the level of communication and interplay between those two.

Every New Years' Day I play U2's "New Years' Day". Go figure.

Damn...missed it again! Count me in as well -- as a big Talk Talk fan, I do often think of the song when the date nears.

Kidding folks. No need to warn Mark Hollis or anything.

[Surly]

Yes, I listened to it again this year! I am such a geek for remembering.

I'm a double geek. I posted it on my Facebook page.
