February 23, 201015 yr Add in some Greenhornes, Heartless Bastards, Buffalo Killers, and Thee Shams to represent Cincinnati. Like most of what you've already chosen.
February 23, 201015 yr Let's not forget James Brown recorded most of his famous records at Cincinnati's own King Records in Evanston! You betta get up off that thang! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
February 23, 201015 yr Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? Apples in Stereo - #1 Hits Explosion Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Weezer - Blue Album Weezer - Pinkerton Social Distortion - Social Distortion Screeching Weasel - My Brain Hurts Beck - Odelay Arghan Whigs - Unbreakable (A Retrospective) (some Cincinnati love) John Prine - In Spite of Ourselves Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News Postal Service - Give Up Japandroids - Post-Nothing LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver White Stripes - White Blood Cells Avalanches - Since I Left You Daft Punk - Discovery Hmm, yeah, that's a pretty good list.
February 23, 201015 yr I've always felt Ultra Lounge Volume 3, Space Capades was the superior album to Ultra Lounge Volume 4, Bachelor Pad Royale
February 24, 201015 yr Any suggestions of some Best Of albums? My vending company has become a bit panicky over the fact they have next to none of these in stock and requested we throw in some Best Of's for 10 or 15 albums instead of repeating artist.
February 24, 201015 yr I have always thought that jukeboxes (and for that matter wines lists) should do cross promotions with retail stores. Basically have a record store owner (Shake It comes to mind) select all the albums and have a sign on the jukebox that says "Music Selected by Shake It Records" and then have all the albums available for purchase there. same thing with wine lists. Have Market Wines select the wine list on a menu and then have all the bottles available for purchase there. The restaurant gets the expertise of the wine store owner in selecting wines and the customers can have a bottle of wine, enjoy it and know exactly where to go buy the wine. Cross promotion
February 24, 201015 yr Great idea and funny that you say that. Last night, Holly and I were discussing having Paul Sturkey choose our wine list and promote the fact it was his selection. We were going to do that because Holly's family is close friends with the Sturkey's but I much prefer to bring in an OTR/Downtown store. Let me see what I can do.
February 24, 201015 yr Wow, you already have a great list. I second natinija's Beck-Odelay suggestion, and I wonder if you could add some Depeche Mode. But it sounds like if you'll take Thomasbw's suggestion and use Shake It you'll get a similar playlist but more refined and you'll get the "I'm keeping it local" badge.
February 24, 201015 yr Any suggestions of some Best Of albums? My vending company has become a bit panicky over the fact they have next to none of these in stock and requested we throw in some Best Of's for 10 or 15 albums instead of repeating artist. My suggestion of "Afghan Whigs - Unbreakable (A Retrospective)" is a best-of album from a local band. I just realized, though, that I had misspelled "Afghan" as "Arghan" -- oops! Anywho, if you want a best-of album with some local flavor, that's a perfect choice! (The band is far from limited to a local audience, in case you don't know them.) I also like the idea of having Shake-It make the selection. Those guys know their stuff, and they run a local label, so they know their local stuff, too!
February 24, 201015 yr These have been removed from the original list freeing up 14 spaces. We took these out do to duplication reasons. 4.SBOL--11i 6. OTR--Films for the Radio 7. Calexico--Hot Rail 11. The Decemberist--Picareque 15. Interpol--Our Love to Admire 18. John Coltrane--A Love Supreme 23. Koop--Koop Island 25. Miles Davis--Kind of Blue 30. Pinback--Summer in Abaddon 33. Ratatat--LP3 35. The Shins--Oh Inverted World 37. Stan Getz--Jazz Samba 39. Stereolab--Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage In the Milky Night 44. Ultra Lounge--Volume 4, Bachelor Pad Royale
February 24, 201015 yr Bob Seger Greatest Hits 1 & 2 Billy Joel Greatest Hits Aerosmith Greatest Hits (not a fan of theirs...but, this greatest hits album came out early enough that it didn't suck as bad) Wave of Mutilation: Best of the Pixies Other album: Metric--Fantasies Loveage -- music to make love to your old lady by Gorillaz -- Demon Days Gnarls Barkley -- St. Elsewhere Lupe Fiasco -- Food and Liquor Grandmaster Flash --The Message
February 24, 201015 yr How about... Beck-Odelay Depeche Mode-Best of Ray Charles-best of Afghan Whigs - Unbreakable (A Retrospective) Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea James Brown-best of Weezer-Blue Album Who-Best of Peter Frampton-Frampton comes alive
February 25, 201015 yr How about... Beck-Odelay Depeche Mode-Best of Ray Charles-best of Afghan Whigs - Unbreakable (A Retrospective) Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea James Brown-best of Weezer-Blue Album Who-Best of Peter Frampton-Frampton comes alive That's a great line-up, except for one thing: it completely lacks anything recent. I don't know how important that is, but it might be a shortcoming for a hip image. Something to think about.
February 25, 201015 yr Ok, point taken. 5 spots left. All recent. What do ya got? Don't forget to look though at the first 24 selections which are all somewhat recent but I would like to see what you would recommend for truly recent. 100 selections total, 95 picked so far. On a side note I would like for you to know that my vending company is throwing a fit over our selections as they keep almost none of them in stock. That to me is a testament to how unique this jukebox will be.
February 25, 201015 yr Thank you for not having a digital jukebox with a million songs. It totally kills the ability to identify an establishment based on its music.
February 25, 201015 yr My favorites, roughly in order of preference: Underworld 1992-2002 (double compilation CD) Beaucoup Fish A Hundred Days Off
February 25, 201015 yr Wow, I feel like I have the fate of the universe in my hands.... I'd go with Beaucoup Fish.
February 25, 201015 yr and done! Now 4 more. Thank you for not having a digital jukebox with a million songs. It totally kills the ability to identify an establishment based on its music. We got the call last night giving us incentives to do just that and we said NO! Apparently it is costing over 1200 to stock this jukebox but we feel this is a big part of our identity.
February 25, 201015 yr Ok, change of heart. Do you really like Beaucoup Fish more than a cd with Pearls Girls, 8 Ball and born slippy? Its your call......but comeon!!!!
February 25, 201015 yr Well, I did rank the compilation CD above Beaucoup Fish, but I assumed the fact that it's a double CD would disqualify it. (I don't like the idea of using just one half of a double CD; imagine having to pick only one disc of Pink Floyd's The Wall.)
February 25, 201015 yr Postal Service - Give Up is starting to age (7 years since release...wow), but I think it's pretty much a modern classic. (Does anyone second this? I might be in a vacuum.) The song Such Great Heights seems to always show up in new places. LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver (3 years old) is a highly acclaimed album by a god of hipsters (who will likely patronize your bar). I'm not very familiar with a lot of releases from this year, but for something a bit different, you might consider Gil Scott-Heron - I'm New Here, which just came out this month. Pretty much everyone knows who he is, he covers a unique genre, and it's a brand-new album that critics (mostly) seem to like.
February 25, 201015 yr HOLY CRAP! How could I forget Postal Service-Give Up!?! Based off your already established list, that HAS to be on the jukebox. I was about to suggest some Muse, but I don't know how well that fits into a bar...but seriously...Postal Service.
February 25, 201015 yr ^^I love Postal Service and Such Great Heights is a favorite song...or was...until UPS began using it for every ad. Now? not so much.
February 25, 201015 yr Revised additions Beck-Odelay Depeche Mode-Best of Ray Charles-best of Afghan Whigs - Unbreakable (A Retrospective) Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea James Brown-best of Weezer-Blue Album Who-Best of Peter Frampton-Frampton comes alive Postal Service-Give Up Gil Scott-Heron - I'm New Here LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver Underworld-Beaucoup Fish
February 25, 201015 yr I'm late to the game, but how about Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, Ohio Players? As for local, certainly Afghan Whigs, but how about Twlight Singers, The Bears, The Raconteurs, Midnight Star. Somewhat modern; Spoon, The Black Keys, Buzzcocks, Joe Strummer(Clash singer) & the Mescaleros Classic - where's ACDC, man! Or Blind Faith, Dire Straits, ABBA
March 1, 201015 yr I know I'm late to the game here, but as I randonly started humming Space Oddity to myself over the weekend, I thought a music list as eclectic as this needs David Bowie in it.
March 1, 201015 yr Here are a few that will appeal to most people The Allman Brothers – The Road Goes on Forever The Band – Greatest Hits The Beatles – 1’s Blues Traveler - Four Bob Marley - The Legend Bon Jovi -This Left Feels Right: Greatest Hits With a Twist Bruce Springsteen - Greatest Hits Creedence Clearwater Revival - Chronicle, Vol. 1 Counting Crows - August and Everything After The Eagles - Greatest Hits Eddie Money - Greatest Hits Flogging Molly - Float Frank Sinatra - Nothing But the Best Garth Brooks - Double Live George Clinton & The Parliament Funkadelics - The Best of George Clinton Guns 'N Roses - Greatest Hits Hall & Oates - Greatest Hits (I went to school with a bunch of people from Phili) Hank Williams Jr. - Greatest Hits Johnny Cash -The Essential Johnny Cash John Melloncamp - The Best That I Could Do Journey - Greatest Hits Lynyrd Skynyrd - The Essential Lynyrd Skynyrd Michael Jackson - Bad (sorry had to say it) The Moody Blues - Greatest Hits Animal House: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack The Police - Greatest Hits The Rolling Stones - Jump Back: The Best of The Rolling Stones Rusted Root - When I Woke Spin Doctors - Pocket Full of Kryptonite Tom Petty - Greatest Hits Van Morrison - Moon Dance
March 1, 201015 yr ^That's a great list. What does the (sorry had to say it) next to Bad mean, though?
March 1, 201015 yr I've always felt Ultra Lounge Volume 3, Space Capades was the superior album to Ultra Lounge Volume 4, Bachelor Pad Royale I have every volume. And I disagree with your assessment. Wish I saw this thread sooner, but it appears the die has been cast.

Wish I saw this thread sooner, but it appears the die has been cast. Trust me, it all went down hill after Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 1: Mondo Exotica. By the time they got to Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 11: Organs in Orbit they were just going through the motions. And if you laid down some of your hard earned money for Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 17: Bongo Land, well then I've got a bridge to sell you.

Organs in Orbit had some great ones, including a few choice cuts by former Tiger, convicted embezzler and Cy Young award winner Denny McClaim. Capitol provided them all gratis....during my swingin' DJ/MC days.

March 2, 201015 yr Tomorrow I will call my vending company to see how many cds they have not been able to get so far. We can and will be rotating in and out cds on a fairly regular basis.
March 3, 201015 yr We have 77 of our pics. The Jukebox is being delivered tomorrow and I will be able to see then what they were not able to get.
March 4, 201015 yr Rush - Spirit of Radio: Greatest Hits (1974-1987) "It's just fate, as usual, keeping its bargain and screwing us in the fine print..." - John Crichton
March 6, 201015 yr Ok!!!! Who was the funny guy who recommended Postal Service? My God Man! Uhh, that'd be me...what's wrong? (With your tone, I feel like a student about to be severely scolded by his teacher. :P)
March 6, 201015 yr Ok!!!! Who was the funny guy who recommended Postal Service? My God Man! Uhh, that'd be me...what's wrong? (With your tone, I feel like a student about to be severely scolded by his teacher. :P) And I seconded. Seriously, what's the problem? That CD has an amazing ability to appeal to all crowds (except maybe Mormons) so give it a chance.
March 6, 201015 yr I take it back, we will put it in rotation. For some reason I was thinking of Owl City's song when you said Postal Service. How about Death Cab for Cutie also?
March 6, 201015 yr I know this is late, but Death Cab (for some more Ben Gibbard) would be a great choice - Plans would probably be best for the masses but Transatlanticism is quite good. I love that there is a Pavement disc on the list. For future consideration any Pixies or Dino Jr would also be good, and while there has been more than one suggestion for the Blue Album by Weezer the Red Album is a lot of fun.
