Theme 170 - Wildcard Round 4 - Any song you like, specifically new or seldom heard songs (originally an idea by Val) - VOTING

Phone Call From Leavenworth - Chris Whitley
https://youtu.be/fR4anWNKzGo

been hammering this of late and would like to share in an effort to demonstrate how a song can lose itself by blatant commerciality! despite excellent versions by the melodians and the original by boney m, i've gone for this, which is probably as close to a religious epiphany as i've ever had! :)

I am going to go with the one that got disqualified from the last round, it's just such a good song that it deserves to be heard (inviting a null pointer if ever I did)

Dark synthpop song from this year's excellent 'The Strife Of Love In A Dream' album. The drums and bass guitar make this my song of 2017.

As tech would say, globits! I might have got votes from you this round. Anyroad, I hope your being away involves something enjoyable and that you return to us pumped and ready to go.

Dwight Yoakam - Sarah Shook & The Disarmers ..."
I haven't heard it but anything that has the remotest connection to the wonderful Dwight is sure to get points from me.

We love our holidays - the whole year is built around them. 12 nights fun and games in Walt Disney World. I'll probably be as miserable as sin when I get back with the post-holiday blues - although maybe not as City will probably be league champions by then!

Cheers Duke, certainly will - got a lot of great music lined up for the flight - and a nearly 2 hour Josh Ritter Live At The House of Blues video that I downloaded from YouTube as well.

City fan, eh, Rob?
I'll expect to see you participating on here next season then :-)

PS:
Off topic: are you still looking for a big telly?
Advice from ‘Which?’ is that the big brands are releasing their 2018 models and the prices of 2017 ones are plummeting. Some are half-price such as the Best Buy 55-inch LG 555J810V, was £1500, now £750. Don’t know how that tallies with euros.


Got me to a ‘T’, suzy!

"Evenin' squire.....d'ya wanna buy a telly guv..real cheap like, no rubbish, eh, eh, slip a pony on me skin, an it's yours mate!" :)
Reminds me of a Python sketch! ;-)

You'll be shushing us and handing out late fines next.

Sticking with the number 15, meaning we have the usual 5 votes each peeps. Looks like a gud un...so let's get to it!
Oh...and Happy Easter folks...hopefully it won't be too snowy this weekend..again..but take care when out an about, won't ya!
Voting ends on Easter Sunday..10pm.

How many chocy eggs can you avoid eating this weekend?!
Ciao!


I did realise, but I just loved the way that it also read quite differently ;o>

Lez,
Thanks for reminding but have postponed (postsovieted) all that telly looking thing again. Not on my priority list apparently, did some traveling recently, then hit my and another person's car (new expenses), then started planned going to India etc.
If I don't peek into Curries my old TV doesn't look that bad!

171. 'The Nurse With Wound List'. On the first two Nurse albums appeared this list of artists, said to have been influences on the group (as it was in the beginning). Mr Stapleton later claimed some didn't even exist, but research seems to suggest all in fact, did. http://nwwlist.org is where to go; click on 'artists' then on 'named' which contains all those on the list. The albums included are merely suggested. You don't have to stick with them; anything by that artist is ok. Nothing from the 'Related' or 'More' sections please. There should be plenty of bands known to all but the most sheltered of souls! You will get kudos points for the weirder side of things though. - Tim
172. Songs about getting married - Val (pipe down all you cynics! I want to see lots of brides, rings, bells, aisles, chapels, weddings, etc)
173. Songs with sound effects in them (thunder claps, breaking glass, cars revving up, roaring crowds, dogs barking etc. etc.) - KJS
174. It's not big and it's not clever, but the tunes are good. Songs with expletives in the lyrics (not necessarily in the title). It can be a single utterance or a blue tirade (though, with one glorious exception, I tend towards the one-off). - Fishy Jim
175. Songs with US state names in the title - let's hear your Californias, Hawaiis, Idahos etc. - Rob
176. Sample Example - Tracks that sample other songs - Helen
177. 'One Album Wonders - Round 2' - Same rules as before, but noms can be selected from albums released upto 5 years ago. Any one off solo albums produced by now defunct Artists/Bands - EP's, singles, Live albums, Comps also produced by the artist/band are irrelevant, but noms must come from the sole album itself. - theDuke
178. Toys, general or specified, in the title or artist's name - Brass Neck
179. 'Say I'm Your No.1' - your favourite song which topped the nation's (BBC, of course) charts. simple as.......- tech
Here's the link to nom new themes for Round 9, keep 'em coming...please!:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Evening folks.
Final theme of round 8, it's the return of the Wildcard round, originally conceived by Val. For those not initiated with this one..basically pick a anything you like, that either isn't likely to fit any theme easily, or something you like that is seldom heard or isn't well known, whatever you like, so make it interesting, why doncha! :)
Noms in by 10pm Weds, thank you.
Oh..and brace yaselves again peeps..looks like we're about to get Beast From The East pt.3! And they do say more snow falls around Easter time than at Xmas. Bit of a bummer, as I've almost run out of LPG. I ordered some weeks ago, but the refinery that supplies our supplier....has had technical problems of late...what ever the heck that implies! I've got just 3% of useable LPG gas left, before the pressure drops.....thermal longjohns it is, then!
Toodle loo.
