"No man's an island, and his castle isn't home..." This is a Jethro Tull song, and it turned out to be very hard to coordinate the vocal and playing rhythms. So it's kind of ragged, but I've missed the last two weeks and wanted to get something in for this Season.

This is an Electric Light Orchestra song.

I'd already missed a couple of Seasons, and then last week I got Covid. My singing voice is starting to return now, so here's a song by Teenage Fanclub.

This is a New Pornographers song from 2007. The original was sung by Neko Case.

In 2001, a bunch of musicians, including members of Wilco, Cheap Trick, The Mavericks, and Sixpence None the Richer put out an album of great '60s and '70s-styled pop songs under the name Swag. The album was called "Catch-all". This song is from that album.

Here's an Electric Light Orchestra song, using the 'High Choir' sound from the Mel9.

I think I've got a fair shot that this will be the only song this week to mention a varicose vein. It also mentions fingers. I learned this last month for the Seasonista open mic. It's one of my favorite songs of 2023, from a solo album by Grian Chatten, who is the singer for the Irish band...

And here's one from Rumor and Sigh, my favorite Richard Thompson album. I played this at today's Seasonista open mic.

I'm coming a little late to the game this week, but my musical hero for the Season is Richard Thompson. A fantastic songwriter adept at both rock and folk, a tremendous guitarist on both electric and acoustic. The musician I've seen live the most times (eleven). Probably well known to Del as...

This is a song that Grace Potter sings during the closing credits of "Tangled", the Disney version of Rapunzel. I'm running the Kawika tenor through an ElectroHarmonix C9 box that duplicates what I'm playing in an organ sound.

There was a 1930s piece of Japanese street theater called “Kitaro of the Graveyard.” Shigeru Mizuki made a manga based on it called “Gegege no Kitaro” that ran from 1960 to 1969. The story is about Kitaro, who tries to keep peace between humans and yokai (Japanese folklore monsters). It has...

We need a montage!!

Here's a half-song. Or less. Wings had a big hit in the mid-'70s with "Venus and Mars/Rock Show", but I'm only playing the "Venus and Mars" part. By the way, have you heard this crazy story that Paul McCartney was in another band before Wings? Man, the imagination of some people!

This is a song by the band XTC. The uke is running through the cello sound of an ElectroHarmonix Mel9 box, and then into a Yamaha MOX6 to add a compression/distortion/delay effect and something called a "dynamic flanger", which flanges like there's no tomorrow. Although, in space, no one can...

I've never seen the thread for a current Season slip off of the first page. Actually, there may have been one time someone came to the Seasons board for the first time and posted on dozens of threads in a day. Then a Seasonista simply posted in the current Season thread to move it back to the...

This is a song by The Soft Boys, written by Robyn Hitchcock. I accidentally said Season 619, and had to make a placard with the correct Season. Naturally, this was the time I started playing before I finished naming the Season. That's why the video starts with the intro already playing.

Turns out the theme of Season 482 was things the narrator doesn't know. I found this out because the song I was working on tonight, I already did for Season 482. My two other top choices for "I don't know" songs are ones I've also done already. I may have to repeat myself this week. :rolleyes:
