Madame Defarge 21 Posted May 24, 2007 MMM would lend itself to a truly inspired video. Just like a current fave video in MPFC Towers. by Napalm Death. Not bad. But it drags a bit in the middle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brinsworth House Baiter 12 Posted May 24, 2007 Had a brief search but couldn't find a specific thread to chat about music, particularly of the artier variety - if there is one please bung this in there, musical mods. Anyway, was just watching the Scott Walker doc on BBC - very interesting bloke, even though I'd rather listen to Metal Machine Music 24 hours a day than hear most of his later stuff just the once. Ignoramous though I most undoubtedly am. I expect a firm rebuttal from Anubis at any moment. Music? Of the 'artier' variety? So this would be the place to discuss the Wurzels then, would it?

Cheers, BHB It would. What'd you like say about them - that Never Mind the Bullocks is the acme of postmodern popular music and that their version of Tubthumping is the single greatest artistic creation of the Western hemisphere? Something like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brinsworth House Baiter 12 Posted May 24, 2007 Oh no, much, much deeper than that. I'd like to hold an intellectual discussion, nay, debate over the possible aspects of abuse in the lyrics to 'Blackbird.' I'd especially like to draw attention to the line 'with a great big stick I'll knock him down, blackbird I'll have 'ee!' Blackbird beatings might be common practice on the cider soaked fields around Bristol, but I feel the RSPB should be notified. Perhaps Mister Blair could look into it before he departs? If he's got time, like, during his global farewell tour. Cheers, BHB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted May 24, 2007 My tipster acquaintance Mr Armitage Shanks wanted to get something off his ample chest and dictated the following down the blower: "It's a crying shame there appears to be no access to the beautiful, inspiring music of Ronnie Hazlehurst on the new compact disc format (I have several of his records on 78 but alas the infernal machine went up the spout in 1979). In my view, Sir Ronald is up there with Elgar, Britten and Tippett amongst our country's finest composers - for example, his seminal Theme from Are You Being Served is one seriously funky tune, and one which I'm told had a big influence on The Pink Floyd's song Money, whoever they might be. The Two Ronnies (no relation) credits, Reggie Perrin, Yes Minister, Bergerac - classics as far as the eye can see. And as for Theme to Blankety Blank, well, it's 38 seconds of pure aural heaven. I'll state here and now that I would pay at least £3.99 plus p+p to get my sweaty palms on The Greatest Hits of Ronnie Hazlehurst, so I implore any record label bods out there to put the wheels in motion" Yours ever, Armitage Shanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted May 27, 2007 I could live in this thread. Today I have mostly been listening to: Albert Hammond's The Free Electric Band, Atlas, by those Glitter Band-esque math-rockers Battles, Happy When It Rains - Mary Chain. It's been raining all day, but I've been relatively happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're quite fond of him in France. Or German, the third official language on account of the German community, who are also Belgian, in the North East of the country. Nothing is ever simple in Belgium. I am neglecting of course the Italian and Polish communities who emigrated here to work in the mines - I am sure there are probably those who wish to set up even more governments here in Belgium to represent them. (Wallonia, Flandres and the Germanophones all have their own governments as does the autonomous region of Brussels before you even get to the national level!)

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted June 8, 2007 George Martin, among many, has always reckoned the White Album would make a cracking single album. So, if you were to whittle the original 30 down to 12, what would you pick? Mine would be (in no particular order): Back in the USSR Julia Let's Be Natural Dear Prudence Why Dont we do it in the Road I'm So Tired Blackbird Happiness is a Warm Gun Everybody's Got Something to Hide etc Revolution #1 Long long long Revolution #9 (honest!!) Mother Nature's Son Apologies that this is in no way related to the DL. That Lennon eh, he got shot dead, innit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
