Anyway...

Unfortunately their beguiling debut album (Not Available) isn't on Youtube in its original form* but the 'legendary', 'important' Third Reich 'n Roll is.

Better for Wendigans in any event.

*geddit...

I've never quite got around to listening to the Residents.

Till NOW!

Or whenever it is we're doing this.

Not available isn't their first album.

So, I'm full o' sh*te.


I have a weird connextion

Wut? Don't forget to put a link to the Wikipedia Page, and a picture of the cover on the first post, and don't forget the all important ★ ratings!

I'm drunk and faintly hysterical.

When you free to do this chief?

Saturday 8th of February 2020 at 7.30pm.

Sure whatever. I got two ears.

Anyway, I dunno.


Friday?

Incidentally, I'd rather not include the Wikilink as it includes a full rundown of the songs "mashed up" and, when I was a 15 year old and first listened to it I had to try and work what the songs were (quite hard, considering my then-limited knowledge of '60s rock, pop, garage rock etc)...

Ergo, it might be fun for us to all try and play that game?

I will not participate in the John Wesley Hardingathon unless WDTBorgleD gives it his full attention

I will give it the full attention it deserves..

I'm free and can do The Third Reich 'n Roll on Friday.

Wendy 1,563 : everyone else 4.

Wendy will be able to instantly identify all the songs that have been 'mashed up'. Given her uncanny skillz.

Oh, you mean the possible score?

Unlikely, since I've had over 35 years experience listening to it.

That said, beside the obvious ones and those that I've become familiar with since, there are a number I fail to recognise and/or are so garbled and W.E.I.R.D. and lost in the mix that the 'official' list of tunes covered seems like a proper cheat.

There are also a few that, despite being being hits in the USA, are virtually unknown here.

In any event I suggest we refer back to it after the event.

I don't know what 'mashed up' exactly means in terms of this album. Which I've never heard. I'm guessing it will become obvious. When I hear it.

On Friday.

Quote :

Considered by some to be a very early form of a mashup album, The Third Reich 'n Roll features what is thought to be the first commercially released record to sample James Brown [...] This sample predates rap music's adaptations of Brown riffs, beats, and soundbites by about 15 years.

Spoilers!
