WE DO THE MASHED POTATO AND THE FUNKY CHICKEN

A day late ... but I'll give you a dollar for some of your nice frosting ;)

*THE POSIES ...*I've had a serious crush on this band ... Since Frosting on the Beater ... I've loved them. Now, I'm the first to admit, I didn't keep up with them as much as I would have liked, but that doesn't change the fact that they always make me happy ... *ALWAYS* !!!!Here's an acoustic version of Solar Sister:Thanks to Nicole ... I got the pleasant reminder ... "lizziegreen, you *LOVE* The Posies", as she had just listened to them herself ... even with all the "new" music I downloaded to the pod, I had to toss Frosting on the Beater onto the playlist immediately.Here's Jon Auer performing solo with "Coming Right Along"Burn to Shine is in the Tag ... couldn't get the whole song on here ... if anyone wants to add it ... I would be eternally grateful ... :)& here's a song Jon Auer wrote specifically for me ... I mean, seriously, the song is called *_Green Eyes_* When he sings it to me late at night, after we've gone to bed ;), he always adds Lizzie to the chorus ... but that's just for we two !!! (& little known fact about me, my eyes were _blue_ until I was about 9, then they up & changed to green on me) ... no complaints here, I am quite fond of my *green eyes* ;)~if you are disbelieving of this little known fact, you just let me know & I will send you the pictures to prove it, just remember, we're talking late 70s early 80s so if you make any jokes about my hairdos or ensembles ... you will get a beatdown - Jon Auer may not look like much - but he'll get someone to kick your arse ;)_Amazing Disgrace_ is a great album as well, but _Frosting on the Beater_ from beginning to end is perfectly *delicious* get it - Frosting on the Beater - delicious ... work with me here people ;)

  1. kat3260 says I don't know much by the Posies, but you surely have made me "hungry" from some "frosting".... God, I really shouldn't play these word games.

  2. Lizziegreeneyes says Yummy yum !!! They just had the right equation, powerful guitars, nice rhythm section, beautiful vocal harmonies, & the lyrics a lot of fun !!! It's the perfect late spring, summer's almost here, driving in your car _with the rag top down so your hair can blow_ ... or at least the sun roof opened ;) That was a little _Vanilla Ice_(ing) to go with the "frosting on the beater" ... bad pun, whoooo that was a really bad pun :)

  3. Dale says Nice, songs like "Dream All Day" have lovely melodies that go so well with the warming temperatures. Do you like their work with the reunited Big Star?

  5. kristiana says you're last name isn't Green, is it? My eyes are hazel, but when I'm sad they go all green. The Posies - never really given them a try, it seems I must do so.

  6. Lizziegreeneyes says Dale ... my sentiments exactly ... perfect day for them !!! I need to get on the Big Star train no doubt !!! Nicole - you sure are ... when I saw them on your recent listens ... I *knew* I had my next post ... kristiana - Nope, not green, it's all about the eyes baby, it's all about the eyes. Def give them a listen ... they brought a new feel to the grunge era ... gentler, but still with some muscle.

  11. Augusts1 says I love The Posies, but like you Lizzie I only have one of their cds which is "Dear 23". Love their power pop sensibilities. I unfortunately get too distracted with the next big thing, so that's why I only have one of their cds.

  12. Rawkkiddoh says The Posies are such a great band. There is not a summer that goes by that I dont dedicate at least one day of driving with the windows down to their music

  13. Lizziegreeneyes says Augusts ... maybe we should put our collective heads together - then we'd have *three* Posies albums !!! It's a curse ... that next big thing. I put the pod on shuffle, & this has happened far too frequently than I like to admit - it's going in a future post - I find I have a song I didn't know I had ... then I investigate further, & I have the entire album ... That's how I found M83 on my pod, & Johnny Cash Live at Folsom Prison I found today ... now that's a great surprise (they both were) !!!! Yup, Kev, you need to stop reading my diary .,.. that's my innermost thoughts & shit & other deep stuff that I write ... You're right, at least one day has to be dedicated to the Posies (I went to write thank & somehow typed thong ... weird ... ) but I wanted to say thank goodness for summer & summer music !!!

  20. Mike the Knife says I do occasionally pick Posies myself - not that there's anything wrong with that...

  21. Lizziegreeneyes says tee hee ... pick Posies ... yup, me too !!! Then I eat some of the _heads_ off *Lemons* ... & every once in a while throw out some of the _really old_ Garbage, but nothing past the date of 1995 ... ;)
