Memphis Mystery Train Set List: July 14 (Jody Stephens Edition)

Memphis Mystery Train Set List: July 14 (Jody Stephens Edition)

I had a super special guest on today's Mystery Train, so I turned the lights on, kept my shoes on my feet and was generally on my best behavior this morning. Jody Stephens, the drummer for legendary Memphis-based power pop band Big Star, came to the studio this morning with a copy of the live recording of the last ever Big Star show (last May at the Levitt Shell). Me, with Big Star drummer Jody Stephens at WEVL Jody is easily one of my favorite Memphians. He's friendly and funny, and when I started playing his record - which, in my defense, looked like a 45 -  at 33 1/3, he laughed and told me that perfection was boring. (Note that he's also super tall - I had on three inch heels today.) But before Jody stopped by, there was plenty of rock'n'roll. Here's what I played on this morning's show, with the local tracks noted with an asterisk: Old 97’s - Crash on the Barrelhead The Egyptians - The Party Stomp France Gall - Poupee du Cire Detroit Cobras - Funnel of Love The Crookes - Backstreet Lovers Cake - Short Skirt, Long Jacket (demo version) Okkervil River - O Dana (Big Star cover) Dolly Parton - Don’t Drop Out The Four Seasons - Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You *Mouserocket - I’ve Seen You Before Pixies - Gigantic Arrah and the Ferns - Liar Liar Young Fresh Fellows - Taco Wagon Calexico - Alone Again Or Those Darlins - Who’s That Knockin’ At My Window Wilco - No Poetry Cub - New York City Jonathan Richman - Everyday Clothes Eileen - These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ *Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs - Ain’t Gonna Move *Otis Redding - Shake Thao - Good Bye Good Luck *Johnny Cash - Ballad of a Teenage Queen Why - Crushed Bones They Might Be Giants - Twisting *Luv Clowns - Good People Sometimes Do Bad Things New Pornographers - Crash Years Belle and Sebastian - My Wandering Days Are Over Frightened Rabbit - Living in Color The Gories - Nitroglycerine Camaros - Too Damn Picky Lou Reed - This Magic Moment Come-Ons - Hip Check! *Compulsive Gamblers - Stop and Think It Over Ramones - Sheena is a Punk Rocker *Big Star - Don’t Lie To Me (live at Levitt Shell) *Big Star - Thirteen If you missed this week's Mystery Train, you can catch my bonus shift tomorrow afternoon at 2 p.m. or the regular show at 8 a.m. on Thursdays on 89.9 FM or wevl.org.
