You will find that when I describe particular songs and such, that I use custom terms. Here are some of them..
TBJ-Table Bustin’ Jam-This is when a particular song is rocks so hard that the only response is to put both hands through the nearest table.
Example sentence:
“Space Station No. 5 by Montrose is a TBJ!!!”
Flim-Flam Tape- This is when you make your own full cd or 2 cds encompassing a career of a particular band.
Example sentence:
“You say you’re not sure if you like Wishbone Ash? I’ll tell you what, I’ll make you a Flim-Flam tape of them.”
An “I Demand” album-This one I got from my friend Beav. This is any album in which it is impossible to only listen to the first track.
Example situation:
William plays the lp Led Zeppelin. In particular, he plays “Good Times, Bad Times”.
Charles then says “I DEMAND to hear “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” then I DEMAND to hear “You Shook Me” etc…
Koresh- Correct in the most sincere form. Yeah, it makes no sense, but it’s there.
Example sentence:
Jim is 100% Koresh, when he explains the suckage of Dave Matthews.
Going in the right door- This is when you want to help a newbie explore a particular band that they might by ready to learn about.
Example sentence:
“Overnight Sensation is the right door to enter if you are going to start to listen to Frank Zappa”
Sneaky Jams- This is when you start listening to a song, and it sounds pleasant enough, but before you know it, you are overcome by the jams halfway through.
Example sentence:
“The King will Come” is a sneaky jam by Wishbone Ash”.
I will throw some of these songs on my playlist for you to peruse!
In particular check out some Wishbone Ash. I put the aforementioned “The King Will Come”, also their ultimate classic “Blowin’ Free” and a nice little blues jam “Blind Eye”
One more thing, check out “Camarillo Brillo” form Frank Zappa. It’s like the drums function as a rhythm guitar! This is one of his most accessible tunes!

You forgot the opposite of the Table Busting Jam. And that is the Table BUILDING Jam. This is when a song is so bad, you'd rather go cut down an 800 year old Redwood, turn it into lumber, plane it and proceed to make a table out of it rather than hear that tune again.
ReplyDeleteExample sentence: Mike found "(Walk) The Dinosaur" by Was Not Was to be a Table Building Jam, and refused to "get on the floor".
