Trio's is the theme
Since April 6th is the first Thursday and may conflict with the Pioneer Square Art Walk; how about we have the next MC on Friday the 7th?
And on another music themed note... Karaoke at Rock Box on Saturday April 8th?

Radiohead's saddest song
So this Spotify valence thing has me all curious which means I;m going to test it. You guys can test it with me. The higher the value, the more positive mood for the song.
First album "Imperial Bedroom" by Elvis Costello.
I predict the saddest song is "Almost Blue"
WINNER: "Almost Blue" - I AM AWESOME AT THIS GAME!
@2 The Hamilton Soundtrack. I predict "It's Quiet Uptown"
WINNER: "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story" - it's the last song and really, I should have gotten that one though I cry way more with "It's Quiet Uptown".
#3 Bob Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks". This one I predict "If you see her, say Hello"
WINNER: Damn, it's "Simple Twist of Faith". Huh, I am NOT doing well.
#4 Prince's Sign o the Times - This seems easy, right? Isn't it "The Cross"?
WINNER: "The Cross" and it ain't even close!
One more try. Let's go with "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot' I predict "Reservations" and I will be shocked if I am wrong.
WINNER: Reservations!!!
MIC DROP! Thanks for playing.

Protest Songs
MC - When's our next gathering and what's the theme? Protest songs sure feels timely... Like the one I'm stuck on 'White Flag' which goes a little something like this:
I'll be an army
no you're not gonna stop me getting through
I'll sing a marching song and
stomp through the halls
louder than you
no you're not gonna stop me getting through
I'll sing a marching song and
stomp through the halls
louder than you
I could surrender
but I'd just be pretending
no I'd rather be dead than live a lie
Burn the white flag!
but I'd just be pretending
no I'd rather be dead than live a lie
Burn the white flag!

Music Club 2016 Year in Review
It's almost the time for our YEAR IN REVIEW! I'll host!
Is everyone around the week between Christmas and NY's? Or maybe wait until the new year?
Since so many legends died this year (damn, damn, damn), what do think about everyone bringing one additional song from one of the artists that left us this year?

Music Club Theme.... Wait for it....
Road Trip Songs. Pick three songs that would be must haves for a definitive road trip playlist. (Gina, would love to have a submission from you, email me your picks and I'll make sure they're included)
Proposed MC date Thursday October 27th or Thursday November 10th (we may need a road trip playlist should Trump win and we have to pack up our belongings to head north to Canada). Pat and I are happy to host.
