It has been a dark couple of months. So today, Kitty would like you to bring your songs to live by - the ones that make you feel better, give you resolve, get your heart racing when you need it most. Token 1 - Depeche Mode, Personal Jesus youtu.be/u1xrNaTO1bI?...
Mark of the Beesting17Hi there Moo Token 1 for me just has to be this classic. Will always lift me up Davis Bowie - Heroes www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXgk...
Why am I a cat?15Morning Moo, Kitty & fellow Jukeboxers! 👋 Cracking opener - you gotta love some Depeche Mode. 🖤 So, this was the first thing that popped into my head. TOKEN 1: Andrew W.K. - "Music is Worth Living For" The album it's from, "You're Not Alone", is full of positive & affirming bangers!
Snowfloe13Morning, Moo and Kitty, and MJbers. Token 1. Been saving this one especially for a MooJooBox. Welcome back. Ded: Remember the Enemy.
Jetboy Jetgirl12I think this might be one of the most difficult Jukeboxes ever!! It’s the stuff that makes noise and kicks negative thoughts out of my head that are the ones I need most. That just make me smile. Token 1 (and, to my partners annoyance, my alarm tone) Freak Scene Dinosaur Jr. youtu.be/5eO6up9Gpv0
Ytsrïk12Morning Moo & Kitty! Thanks for hosting and what a banging start. ❤️ Easy pick for token 1, another DM track and Enjoy The Silence. Always makes me happy! youtu.be/aGSKrC7dGcY?...
Rob McMinn11Morning Moo, Kitty, thank you for hosting. Lovely idea for a theme. Token 1 is this, which has made me happy for 40 years youtu.be/Ai7kk4K8Zmk?...
MJMcG (he/they)10Mornings! For TOKEN 1, the first song I fell in love with by a band that always makes me feel good, no matter what. The Go! Team Bottle Rocket
MJMcG (he/they)9Something a bit more recent for TOKEN 2 - a Turkish band that puts a proper swagger in my step. It's hard to feel bad with this amount of groove in your ears. Lalalar Avucunu Yalıyor
mmch.bsky.social9It’s a glorious sunny morning, so this had to be Token 1 -Teenage Fanclub with Start Again. The moment the drums kick in, under those ringing guitars, I’m 23 again. “Even though it’s complicated, we’ve got time to start again”.
Gary Davies (not a DJ or a Rev)9Hello Moo and Kitty Token 1 - the first song that came to mind for me is the short and punchy Song 2 by Blur... youtu.be/SSbBvKaM6sk?...
Justine Harvey9Hello all A somewhat predictable first choice from me... Token 1 Yes - McAlmont and Butler www.youtube.com/watch?v=POII...
Michael Gallagher 9Welcome back, Moo! 🤩 I have my thinking cap on!
Rob McMinn8Here's my token 2, recorded 60 years ago this July. Sinatra (with the Blossoms!) pulls one last great record out of the bag. That's life. Riding high in April, shot down in May… youtu.be/UCENTf_LWYA?...
Justine Harvey8And Token 2 (another pretty obvious choice for me) Here comes your man - Pixies www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPgf...
Michael Gallagher 8I think I may have posted this quite recently but hey ho. Token 1 Nick Cave: Breathless
The Human Palindrome7Good morning Moo, Kitty and all of my fellow Jukeboxers! I hope that things get better for you soon, Moo 💜. This song has gotten me through some very tough times. Guided By Voices • Hold On Hope youtu.be/CuPf3OhbcGw?...
Marsha7Welcome back. This song has always comforted me when I needed it Token 1 Dee Dee Sharp O-o-h Child youtu.be/mXH7BvDKAcU
mmch.bsky.social7This is an excellent topic. We’ll know a bit more about each other by the end of the day. Great first pick by the way.
Melony Klein7Token 2: Galaxy 2 Galaxy - Hi-Tech Jazz Tough call, but this immediately came to mind youtu.be/tkjDI_9sSz0?...
Marsha6Oh. Yes. Great song for me to wake up to today
Jetboy Jetgirl6Great opener :-) A band I always kind of liked but was a little indifferent to until I saw them live (with the Sisters in support!!) and finally ‘got’ them.
Andrew Cooper6Good morning Moo and Kitty and what a brilliant choice of theme. Token one is Prince Jazzbo "Live Good Today". Really this for me is about the man I'd like to be. youtu.be/woQT2grR9OU?...
Snowfloe6Token 2 One of the few times I bothered watching the Eurovision, and this was my winner. It's one of my all time favourite feel good sort yourself out songs. I'm not a lyrics person, but this and my previous do vaguely resonate with me.
Still Honest 6Good day jukeboxers all, and Kitty is always welcome back in Scotland. My TOKEN 1 goes with the cathartic noise theory Bluebird by The Boo Radleys That chorus of 'i don't feel no pain, I don't have no pride, I don't care anymore, I lied' is a fabulous thing. youtu.be/XzvHfDCQlus?...
Melony Klein6Good morning Moo, good morning Kitty! A wonderful topic, looking forward to the tracks. Token 1: This Heat - Health And Efficiency Enthusiasm will energise Mind over matter Love over gold Momentum over stasis youtu.be/yYNEKwgkKE4?...
Bob Johnston5Hello Moo, Kitty & The Jukeboxxers. I'm having a Saturday coffee in Tesco because I know how to treat myself... Token 1 is sad & downbeat but it saw me through a ln awful lot of heartache in the 90s... Cowboy Junkies 'You Will Be Loved Again'. Token 2 will be a bop though!
Andrew Cooper5Token Two is Culture "Why worry about them". youtu.be/slh7f7a64sY?...
Jools (ᴱᵃʳᵗʰ ᴳⁱʳˡ)5Hey Moo! Glad you're back 😊🌹 Token 1 is Blur - There's No Other Way
Buzzbead4Afternoon Moo. Good to see you and Kitty back in harness. This wonderful song is guaranteed to lower my BP and make me breath easy. Token 1 please. youtu.be/SGCaDB2hwRs?...
Rob Klippel4Pulp Something Changed (Token 2) Because it's the greatest love song ever written.
Rob Klippel4The Who Teenage Wasteland (Token 1) Thanks Moo... I love open topics like this... EXCELLENT! I don't need to fight To prove I'm right No I don't need to be forgiven Those lines are some of the greatest lines in rock music... hits every time... the entire album actually. Then there's Keith Moon!
Mícheál de Brún4What's giving me motivation and resolve to face putting up a self assembly shed today Token 1 Kick Out the Jams MC5 *Contains one swearwords youtu.be/0tx8GiTFK-I?...
Still Honest 4TOKEN 2 Spring Rain by The Go Betweens Whatever state I go into this track I am grinning by the end youtu.be/9OFkyyzUOZQ?...
Bob Johnston3And for Token 2 - my ultimate 'it's all going to be ok' song - it makes me smile, it makes me sing, and it reminds me of the crush I had on the lead singer... 'U R The Best Thing' by D:Ream. It's my good luck song so if it comes on the radio (rare these days) I know good times are coming...
Jetboy Jetgirl3There will be countless songs I wish I’d shared. But … Second to noise is anything overly dramatic/performative. Something to get lost in and come out the other side recharged and ready to go again. On that note (kinda noisy too) Token 2 Fields of The Nephilim Preacher Man youtu.be/hsSFR43Z600
Gary Davies (not a DJ or a Rev)3Token 2 is a another slice of Country/Americana from Mary Chapin Carpenter with I Feel Lucky... Several good sentiments in the lyrics to keep going, including 'No Professor Doom gonna stand in my way. Mm, I feel lucky today...' youtu.be/eLMkMfYJe4w?...
RW Scott3morning all ☕ a topic I can certainly relate to, tho I must admit I often listen to sad songs when I'm sad (in AA they'd say "that's the bottle calling", lol). but a little Komeda always cheers me up 😊 TOKEN 1 - B.L.O.S.S.O.M., Komeda www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu_u...
Why am I a cat?2For TOKEN 2 I fancy some electroclash to get the blood pumping. I was leaning towards some Fischerspooner to begin with, but think I'm gonna have to go with: Le Tigre - "Deceptacon" Asking the hard questions! Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp? Who took the ram from the ramalamadingdong?
Ytsrïk2There’s lots of classical music I like which is uplifting but for token 2, has to be Beethoven’s 6th Symphony (The Pastoral), specifically the opening movement. Paints a graphic picture of being out for a walk on a warm sunny day imo. Just lovely. The whole symphony is fab. youtu.be/m81VOP6dEV8?...
Ytsrïk2It’s Dave’s birthday today! Something popped up on Facebook to remind me. 64 today, sometimes I think it’s miraculous that he’s still here and making music.
George 2Welcome back Moo! I have a playlist of these type of tracks! About 30 years ago it fell to me to drive my kids and their friends (I had an 8 seater) to swimming on a Saturday morning. We used to sing this at full volume! Happy days! Nothing's Gonna Stop Us - Starship youtu.be/tub93PAAO3k?...
