Re: The album running-commentary and general listening discussion thread. Part 4!

[Butterfield]

I'm considering "raiding my older brother's record collection from the 80s and 90s" via YouTube and offering up some album running commentaries to see what I might like of his that I never would have considered listening to 30+ years ago and still wouldn't admit to him to wanting to listen to. His music has always been the antithesis of mine; ie. straight, white, male; typically born-in-the-70s blokeish.

Anyone fancy a Cardiacs album?

Toto IV?

Jellyfish?

You did a Robyn Hitchcock album last year.

Freiheit?

Aimee Mann? (his token female artist, as so oft pointed out by me)

Divine? The Divine Comedy?

Spoiler:

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I've got Aimee Mann's Whatever album.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

But it's 52 minutes long.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I'd be up for Freiheit.

Is that the one where she's lying down on the front cover? I think that's the one he had/has!

But what you straight, white, male; typically born-in-the-70s blokeish people don't understand is that's what some us have always aspired to be.

And the ones born in 1969.

It is.

[Nightjar]

I'd be up for Freiheit.

Wot, cos they had a hit that sounded like the Beatles?

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

I'm running a bit cold on that suggestion.

[Nightjar]

I'd like to do the big hit Missy Elliott LP "Miss E... So Addictive" but it's 57+ minutes long.

[Nightjar]

Did we do a Landscape album on the old forum?

I seem to have a vague recollection...

[The Call of the Wendigo]

We might have. I'm not sure.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

The famous one? Possibly?

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

I was thinking of doing Pink Floyd's The Wall.

But the Roger Waters 1990 version with Van Morrison singing Comfortably Numb.



Sinéad O'Connor singing the woman hating 'Mother.' A quite common theme on that album in retrospect.

[Butterfield]

Does anyone want to do Sparklehorse's *copy/paste* Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot (1995)? I know I'll hate it but its front cover has intrigued me for 27 years.




If so I'll create a thread; if not then I won't.

[Nightjar]

woteva

[Nightjar]

Yes.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I do. I think it has Homecoming Queen on it. The most miserable and depressing song of all time.

[Butterfield]

Sparklehorse on its way.

When I can be bothered.
