Nurse with Wound.

We've already done From the Tiny Girl to the thingy thingy, Not sure there's not much poi…

Have we done The Sylvie and Babs Hi-Fi Companion?

Let's do that one

Who Can I Turn To Stereo looks a good pick right off the bat.



Is that Sleazy on the cover there?

Looks like Sleazy.

50 minutes



The ones they did with the late Graham Bowers were good, but I think they all were doubles,

I think we did do The Sylvie and Babs Hi-Fi Companion on the old forum?

What Sonic Youth album should we do?

I've always gravitated towards the earlier ones I saw in Rough Trade when I was teenager (Bad Moon Rising, Evol, etc), but the consensus seems to be that Sister is the best one.

Sister?

It's only 37 minutes long.

I've got the first second one, hawh, boring unless you find the sound of an overdriven guitar interesting.

I think I heard a could of tracks of Goo that sounded much better, you know actual tunes and all that.

Should do a Pixies one as well. I kinda avoided missed them back in the day. Probably too young. Possibly not even born and all that.

My vote goes for this one as I remember seeing it on the CD racks of my local white goods store-cum-record shop.

Everything about this sounds thoroughly seedy and wrong.

I'm not sure about the Isabella Lovestory one, it's all sung in foreign, too sexy and as dancy pop, too modern bit too samey for this delicate forum.

Wot doin'?

YOU POSTED THAT IN THE WRONG THREAD!

Have we ever done a Falco album?

I think we did Einzelhaft at the old place.

Maybe…

I do believe we have done a Falco album.

OK, it's difficult to find a definitive Burt Bacharach record to do, but I have that massive "The Look of Love" compilation on my iTunes and the Dionne Warwick songs are pretty much the definitive versions of many of his songs, so...

Oh, no, I've just had a look at the full playlist and it's a nightmare.

There are just too many classic songs done definitively by too many gr8 artistes.

And Cilla Black.

It doesn't begin to cover BB's canon.

It's also probably only about 24 minutes long.

The DW stuff I winkled out of "The Look of Love" comp alone was 47 minutes long!

If you look at the track listing you'll see how daunting the list (of the notable, famous tracks worth covering) is - from the original theme to The Blob right through to the Butterpops (probably) approvable songs like "That's What Friend's Are For" and "Arthur's Theme".

And even then, when you think it's all over - there's a song with Elvis Costello to warm the c*ckles pf Wendi's unmentionables.

Yes.

I've managed to whittle it down to about 106 minutes (although it's arguable that a few more can go because, rather than being especially good or iconic songs, they're instead sung by someone unusual or for something out of the ordinary - Richard Chamberlain, Bobby Goldsboro, Manfred Mann and the Casino Royale theme tune for example)...
