Dear Joan,

WOW, where to begin!

Do you remember the film Amadeus... it was about Mozart... and can you recall his laugh? It was so loud and annoying. ÌýI have this colleague in my office, a managerÌýactuallyÌýwho laughs so loud and sometimes all day at 5-10 minute intervals. I wouldn't mind but her laugh is so unnaturally loud. I must be the only one who cares because it doesn't seem to bother anybody else. Plus at around 10am every morning my boss sits at her desk after getting breakfast and they become "chatty Cathy coffee hour" and it is so annoying because all you hear is that laugh every 5 minutes! I can't stand it and I've even tried headphones and I still hear her. I am not a manager and it amazes me at how people can chat like that in the office... I bet if I did that I would get A first and final!
Am I being unreasonable?

#18

Gaie,

I'm so glad Ian took my advice to employ a vocalist. (Ryan O'Donnell. One of them thar thespian chappies. What?)

The gig to which I dragged Norrie along was mince, quite frankly. (Nae wunner he left early). This is a welcome return to form.

# 18 seconds for Mark Knopfler & Emmylou - great song from a great album.


He's Misstra Know It All / Stevie Wonder (Innervisions)

Still one of my all time favourite albums and yet I know hardly anythin'

Al.

Del Amitri: Nothing Ever Happens (Waking Hours)
Tea for the Tillerman: Cat Stevens (Tea for the Tillerman)
Saturday Sun: NIck Drake (Five Leaves Left)
Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards: Billy Bragg (Workers Playtime)

John Mayer - 'I'm Gonna Find Another You' (Continuum...this is a great album and one The Daughter recommended to me!)

Gram Parsons - 'In My Hour Of Darkness' (Grievous Angel)

The Wailers - 'Rasta Man Chant' (Burnin')

Pete suggests...

Dr John - Sweet Home New Orleans from Anutha Zone
Love - You set the Scene from Forever Changes
Incredible String Band - Nightfall from The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

#17 #19 #31

The obvious ones are Twist And Shout and A Day In The Life by the moptops. You Set The Scene is a rousing finish to a great album but, sadly, as likely to be played as Miss Babs becoming patron of The Noise Abatement Society.

most apt? ..........

from the album "The Doors" ~~~ 'The End'

..... the 6' 28" 'Apocalypse Now' version if poss?

This morning while shaving I suddenly remembered "Tower of Song" by Leonard Cohen, from his 1987 album "I'm Your Man." Like many last songs, it ends the album by leaving nothing left to say and essentially being impossible to follow. I imagine that's true for a lot of great last songs... This should be an interesting show!

The sound of surf crashing on a beach...


Breakaway - Gallagher & Lyle

#21 #35

If these are the last tracks on your albums you have been done.

'And the band played Waltzing Matilda' ~~~ The Pogues

'I am the Resurrection' ~~~ The Stone Roses

From the 'opening song' theme last week I suggested title track 'Fire & Water' so the outro from same album please

All Right Now / Free

Al.

From "Searching For The Young Soul Rebels", opening track played last week. Forgot about swear word in it honest ☺

Dexy's Midnight Runners - "There, There, My Dear"

Magazine - "Thank You (Fallentinme Be Mice Elf Again)" from "The Correct Use of Soap"

Radiohead - "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" from "The Bends"

The Adventures - "One Step From Heaven"

From "The Sea Of Love". I'd completely forgotten how good this album is until I dusted it down the other day and started playing it in the car.

Country Corner

Tiny Dancer / Tim McGraw from the album Tim McGraw & The Dancehall Doctors

Why / Rascal Flatts from the album Unstoppable

Al.

#36 depends on which home-made compilation I pick out.............






;-0

Better Be Home Soon-Crowded- House Temple Of The Low Men
Heart Of Stone-Dwight Yokam-Gone
Sharkey's Night-Laurie Anderson-Mister Heartbreak
Brothers In Arms-Dire Straits-Brothers in Arms

Hello again Blogotariat

Some albums have been remastered and bonus tracks have been added. So should first releases only be considered?

Example: 'Bloody tourists' by 10CC



take a look at the track listing.

#46

You are introducing unnecessary complication. Anyway, this isn't really a 10cc album - half of them have left.

The playing of that Stone Roses mince creates a precedent for 8 minute songs. You Set The Scene by Love is less than 7 minutes and actually contains some music.

#47 that would be 5cc then?

Or does that not make them real men?

Come again?

#47

Complete agreement on both points, Faither.

Long closing tracks on albums are just as indicative of a lack of ideas as much as indulgent genius.

I know that 'I Am The Resurrection' is tremedously significant within its genre and to 80's kids (like our hero) to whom an eight minute piece of music/track must have seemed a revelation (but is,in fact, ironically, a prog resurrection). However for the disinterested casual listener, it's hard to figure out what all the fuss is about - it just sounds overly long and dated, a bit like A Day In The Life, which also sounds curiously dated, though is not all that long but is, at least, interesting, though I still hate the whole 'reverse orchestra' thing. Twist and Shout sounds more modern.

There are many 8 minute tracks that deserve airplay, but imho, that wasn't one of them.

My ignored shout for Donald Fagan's 2:30 classic 'Walk Between The Raindrops' could have been played 3 times and would still have been more entertaining.
