[Craig White]

perspective? ok, seeing you asked so nicely.
the inspiration that got me here came from sera's 'take it to the break' theme, whereby, i instantly thought of a song which has two such proclamations (running into, yes, guitar breaks!). both of these passages, for me, are also 'Dennis Hopper Moments', extra special passages of music that push you to draw back your lips, clench your teeth and close your eyes tightly in ecstasy, much like dennis does in 'blue velvet' when dean stockwell mimes roy orbison's 'in dreams'. ok, not everyone has seen 'blue velvet' (what's wrong with you?), so here is a reference point,

https://youtu.be/d0PbwLTLKA4

right? i want to hear your Dennis Hopper moments - could be a guitar break, a drum beat, a vocal passage, it could even be the whole song (tho' your lips would be aching after that), bits of songs that are just perfect for you, and drive you over the edge in paroxysms of pure joy. please forward the whole song but outline the passages that engender the D H moment(s)

here is one example i would use, but can't (due to sonic issues) - the second where keith hudson's 'not good for us' drops into the dub passage 'formula', drops with such heavenly ethereal precision that it gives me a D H moment - it can't be used because the cd, the download, and the yt clip have a devastating separating 'click' at that precise juncture (only the vinyl is true).

this is all i will say on the subject - don't come back to me and say you've never had a D H moment! if this is the case, throw away your music and collect stamps! x

The video cuts off at a crucial moment (and yes, I've not seen the full film. Shame on me!), but it does appear that Dennis is more overcome by some feeling of anger/anguish that causes him to eject the tape, more than by 'perfection'. 👀

[Craig White]

it does appear thus, but it's the moment when his ecstasy threatens to show him as weak, losing control, overshadowing his all round badassedness - watch the film, he's a very bad boy.

Had many such moments whilst out clubbing in the '90s, do these count? 😁

[Craig White]

"Had many such moments whilst out clubbing in the '90s, do these count?"

of course they do. as well as any records you heard during these times! 👍

[theDuke]

I've only seen 3 movies that feature Dennis Hopper in them; Apocalypse Now, Speed & Easy Rider, but not Blue Velvet. Would any songs featured in any of his movies, be acceptable as noms? If so...then i think i know what i'll choose.

Anyhoo..my next theme...and it's a theme theme!

Tech XXIII wrote: "sigh."

Ah..sorry Tech..i misread your theme's intentions initially. Thought it was music used in Dennis Hopper movies at first.

I think i've now got the jist. Find a piece of music that has a perfect moment within, it that 'grabs me'..something like that?

[Craig White]

that's my boy!

I know what it means but I haven't a clue how to track down a nomination. I know it happens but it doesn't stick in my memory.

I think it's when the singer throws to a break and says to the guitarist/piano-player/saxophonist something like "Take it away Joe" or Over to you Fred".

[TheFoe]

Would the singer introducing the band mid song count as, 'Singer takes it to the break with nominative exclamation'? Doesn't matter if not, just struggling a bit with this theme.

[Val]

Foe - question for you. Does your duets theme mean two otherwise solo singers or would it include duos -e.g. Simon & Garfunkel, Everlys?

[TheFoe]

Val wrote: "Foe - question for you. Does your duets theme mean two otherwise solo singers or would it include duos -e.g. Simon & Garfunkel, Everlys?"

Hi Val, I'll accept nominations from either examples you've given, As long as the listener can clearly here 2 people sing the same song, (either the whole song or at the very least part of the song).

[Fishy_Jim]

For the nominative exclamation round, can it be within the body of the song such as a vocal hand off to the guitar solo?

[Jemma]

For Fishy, that's exactly the thing i was looking for!

For theFoe and everyone else I'll allow literally anything where the singer (or drummer, organ grinder etc) either counts in, introduces mid song or cues up the next section/chorus etc (think Freddie doing his lalala's with Queen), exhalts another member to "take it away" or basically just does something similar. No pedantry in this corner!

[TheFoe]

Thanks Sera. :-)

Question for Tim re: 'The Wire's' 100 (+30) Records That Set The World On Fire While No One Was Listening theme. There are a few singles on the list, are the B-sides also eligible for nomination?

[Tim]

Helen, I've not checked the entire list, but those singles which I did look at all had the B-side listed in addition to the A-side. So, it's a yes on that, so long as the song in question is specified on the list (ie, extra tracks only on 12" singles which aren't mentioned in the listing are not allowed). Hope that helps.

While I'm here, I'll add that only the original albums are eligible (including tracks from 7" freebies included on a non-limited edition basis); no tracks tacked on to reissues, etc.
