Any objections to a/the Van McCoy album?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

None.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

We doin'one?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It seems not...

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

Could do one at quarter past if anyone can be, like bothered.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I am available.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

Lauper or Jockstrap.

Choose, choose now.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Cyndi.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

[Nightjar]

Did we ever do UB40's Signing Off?

Might've'd been on the elderly forum?

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

I have vague memories we did.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

Do we need any more EPs?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I don't see why not.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

I'm quite tempted to do Blue Angel as well, but I've got things to do!

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

Should really do the new Betty Boo one shouldn't we?

[Nightjar]

OK, so, faced with a predictable tsunami of negativity about many of my proposed playlists, I think it's best that many are consigned to the oubliette.

Wendigans, on the whole, don't like hip-hop, '60s and '70s soul music, US country rock and roots and, of course, Joni Mitchell.

So, yes, I'm fed up with feeling enthusiastic (in a drunken fashion) when I think that so-and-so, or himself-or-herself's, or whomsoever or whateverever's album might be a new way to appreciate a particular genre or artiste I personally like anew.

Off with their heads.

Put them in the frictionless spheroid dungeon of disdain and I may choose to review them alone at some point in the nebulous, uncertain future.

Throw. Toys. Pram.

I know - and I don't care.

[Nightjar]

Dismiss - with immediate effect and extreme prejudice:

Ry Cooder - Bop 'Till You Drop (1979)
Joni Mitchell - Turbulent Indigo (1994)
Ronnie Lane - Anymore for Anymore (1974)
Czarface - Czarmageddon! (2022)
K-Solo - Time's Up (1992)
El Michels Affair - Enter the 37th Chamber (2009)

All of the other ones are open to equal summary dismissal.

I hesitate to offer them up for dispatch because they're not hip-hop, '60s and '70s soul music, US country rock and roots and, of course, Joni Mitchell.

Still...

[Nightjar]

Oh, yeah, and the NWW one can go too.

Let 'someone else' come up with something better.

I only picked it cos the 'Mosquito' track.

Which is gr8.

- and and after we did something especially commercial and crap and I thought we should delve back into the more experimental recesses of the antique HotW running commentary era.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

But I want to hear them all.
