7568. alistairConnor - 6/10/2004 6:49:26 PM Now that he's dead I suppose I can rip some tracks with a clear conscience... doesn't need the money where he's gone. 7569. Macnas - 6/16/2004 9:30:43 PM I do think, that it is time for a quiz.
Let's base it around song lyrics:
A. "I'm just a puppet of wax, a puppet of sound"
Name the writer, and what was it written for?
B. "There is a light in the forest
There is a face in the tree
I'll pull you out of the chorus
And the first one's always free"
Name the song and the writer.
C. "My back to the wall
A victim of laughing chance
This is for me
The essence of true romance"
Name the song and the writers.
D. “Young, uniform minds,
In uniform lines,
And uniform ties.
Run round, With trousers on fire,
And signs of desire,
They cannot disguise”
Name the song and the writer.
7570. PelleNilsson - 6/17/2004 7:44:57 PM I have no idea about anything of this. 7571. alistairConnor - 6/17/2004 8:21:24 PM I feel vaguely guilty about not knowing the answers. 7572. Macnas - 6/17/2004 8:47:28 PM I thought you'ed get at least one of the alistair. 7573. alistairConnor - 6/17/2004 9:27:35 PM C is nagging at me. I suppose it must be the Undertones. Damian O'Neill and whatsisname. 7574. Macnas - 6/17/2004 9:33:34 PM Nope, different band altogether. 7575. wabbit - 6/17/2004 11:49:48 PM I think C is Steely Dan, and Ms. No should be able to get that one very quickly, I cannot for my life recall the title.
B - Tom Waits, Just The Right Bullets. 7576. Macnas - 6/17/2004 11:54:24 PM Well done wabbit,
B. Just the right bullets, Tom Waits (wabbit) 7577. wabbit - 6/18/2004 12:39:58 AM C - Steely Dan, Deacon Blues? 7578. Macnas - 6/18/2004 12:48:28 AM wabbit is wight again.
B. Just the right bullets, Tom Waits (wabbit)
C.Deacon Blues, Steely Dan (wabbit)
Gots to go, see yez Monday. 7579. arkymalarky - 6/18/2004 2:08:40 AM I could not think of the Steely Dan song title last night either, and I love that album. It's the only familiar one. 7580. arkymalarky - 6/20/2004 11:44:11 AM A few meaningless observations on very current video stuff I've seen while working on this mess of a study. Maroon 5's lead singer is obnoxious and their current hit will not leave my head if I accidentally hear it, Res was right about Evanescence, Alannis (I still like Bob's nickname: All-Anus) Morisette is even more annoying with a boyfriend, and Modest Mouse is fascinating. I'd also like to see more of Brand New. And it seems there were some The Cure fans in the Mote and he has a new video out.
And I LOVE A Perfect Circle. Mose's boyfriend went into their concert a Bush man (don't get me started) and came out enthusiastic about voting for Kerry. 7581. alistairConnor - 6/20/2004 9:38:13 PM The Steely Dan song is from Aja, isn't it? That's why I knew it.
Wild guess for D : sounds like it could be XTC, Andy Partridge. 7582. Macnas - 6/20/2004 9:44:08 PM Aja is the Steely Dan album alright, thought you'd get that no bother.
And no, D is not XTC, but I like your style.
It's an Irish artist, one of the few guys around who writes good lyrics anymore.
Hint: Have you ever seen "Father Ted"?? 7583. judithathome - 6/27/2004 4:32:40 AM Here's the latest show at the Kimbell Museum in Fort Worth...I hope to be able to hobble though it soon:
Deja View 7584. judithathome - 7/1/2004 5:24:31 AM My sister went to the dress rehersal for this last night...she said it is amazing:
Pageant Of The Masters 7585. KuligintheHooligan - 7/3/2004 9:37:37 AM Who can guess from what song these lyrics come from?
Catch the mystery
Catch the drift
Catch the spirit
Catch the spit 7586. Ulgine Barrows - 7/9/2004 5:00:46 PM A group named Spyder?
Tell us. 7587. wabbit - 7/14/2004 6:15:12 AM No Rush fans? Me neither, but I think I recognize "Tom Sawyer".
Music I'm listening to lately:
Ollabelle - T-Bone Burnett produced this CD, which is a good recommendation in itself, imo. If you like American roots music, give this a try. Most of the music on this CD is traditional, but some songs were written by band members or others, such as a very nice verion of a Keith Richards song, "I Am Waiting". The lead singer of this group is Amy Helm, Levon Helm's daughter.
Night Train to Nashville - Music City Rhythm & Blues 1945-1970 - Wow. I'll never get tired of this. Blues/R&B from Nashville. Great stuff, arranged over two CDs more or less chronologically, which makes the first few songs boogie woogie. Try to sit still with this playing. I dare you. Christine Kittrell's "L&N Special" is playing as I'm writing. I had never heard her before, and this CD makes me wonder how many one-off recordings have been lost. The Smithsonian has done a good job preserving old recordings, maybe it will become a trend.
