Driving Game (Part 9)
3Basic Rules: Follow the posted music video with a different song, band, or musician tied directly to the previous post.
Example: I post Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal.
You could then post Micahel Bolton, Jackson Browne, Outcast - Ms. Jackson, Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal, Fun Lovin Criminals…
Create a new comment for your submission and leave replies just to talk about the comment’s connection or validity.
You can veto if you don’t agree that there’s a connection. In that case, you can post your own connection to the previous song or @ the person you’re vetoing and tell them they need to make the connection clear or replace it. No hard feelings, either way, we’re just having fun sharing music. Note: If someone has already made a new connection to the song you want to veto, you missed your chance and the song stands. You can still let the person know where you found the problem and maybe they can clear things up.

@GetClosure Might be a repeat?
@mike808 Good catch and my bad! It’s highly likely that it’s a repeat. Oof

/youtube chris fleming boba manifesto
Meat Beat Manifesto - Radio Babylon (Liam Howlett / Prodigy Remix)
Thievery Corporation - Babylon Falling Tour 2019 (New Orleans)
Amazing band. Saw them in NOLA back in the naughties. Had to pick this particular snippet, of course.
A little lagniappe detour:
@mike808 Vetoed this new post (both of these should have just been replies to your last post) because following your own response is cheating in car games. Good choices though.
Not that it matters since my response still carries on from this one given that the connection connects all of them.
TC is still a better choice, including musically, than the David Gray track or Boney M options. I’ll give a pass to Steely Dan for Sultans of Swing alone.
@ExtraMedium @mike808 I’m really hoping “asshole” comes around again because after I posted Zappa I immediately thought of another song.
David Gray - Babylon
This works for connecting to both of the last two but it’s a follow-up to Meat Beat Manifesto - Radio Babylon.
@ExtraMedium Then consider my TC post a Heisenberg advance followup to yours.
@mike808 Fair play to you, sir.
Steely Dan - Babylon Sisters
PUP - Sibling Rivalry
Thompson Twins - Doctor! Doctor!

@mike808 is that concert in Brazil?

Parliament Funkadelic - Bring the Funk
In honor of Jazz Fest, P-Funk’s NOLA JF concerts (e.g. at Howlin’ Wolf) are legendary. You know they bring the funk when Jimmy Buffet is talking about Bootsy during his JF performance the next day. Even Stevie Wonder went to see them land the mothership.
@mike808
hope ya’ll are having good weather for this year’s return to in person concert attendance.
@chienfou Little rain yesterday at the start. Bright and sunny.
@chienfou Bonus track. Stevie Nicks performed today and killed the joint. So did Rickie Lee Jones and the Who.
