60 minutes of songs on a permanent loop. It meant the same twelve songs all day every day for the staff. And Christmas songs from .. I don’t know – possibly about to dust those tapes off in two days time *Shudder* and because of the cost, in performers rights, these songs were knocked off covers versions too.. making them cheaper for the shops.. but excruciating for people who could hear.

Good question for your next EOTWQs though.
What song or band has been ruined.. etc…?
(the.. not music questions, but one always creeps in ‘cos we are rebels)

I think this is the first time you’ve been able to just kinda let yourself go beyond the confines of responding to and RR topic or someone else’s post here. Cool, and welcome!

2- Top of the pile international crime fiction. Disproportionate amount coming from Scotland, Ireland, and Scandinavia these days. Nothing much to feel guilty about (I read plenty of novels too), except a nagging feeling that maybe it’s time in life to tackle Proust, Ulysses, and War and Peace.
OTOH reading CiF articles with the hundreds of comments inspires legitimate guilt. Not to mention stopping by the Mail.

3- Played at guitar. Badly wanted to be a shredder, but i did suck. Or lacked discipline / dedication. And acoustic not much fun if you can’t sing, my voice is so bad it makes Ronnie Wood sound like a nightingale. (Who let him near a mic??) So if i get a crack at another incarnation, i would like to be able to sing. Being able to shred would be a big bonus.

4. So many i don’t know where to start. But I’m inspired by Fintan‘s courage, I know what it must have cost him.

No Britney Spears to declare. Along with others, I’ve taken a gentle swipe or two at Madge. But i actually like 3 of her songs – Crazy For You, Live to Tell, and Don’t Tell Me.

I couldn’t stand most hair metal, and was pretty thrilled when GnR finally sent most of those bands packing into oblivion. So i have no KISS, Poison, or Cinderella in my closet of skeletons. But it wasn’t all shite [newsflash- it was. -Ed.], some of it was salvagable. I liked 2 Crue songs (Looks that Kill, and Sick Love Song, if you must know), and some Ratt, Skid Row, White Zombie, and LA Gunz. Now that I’ve outed myself, i guess i can’t claim irony if i ever post any on RR.

I do love at least one song by a group that gets a periodic thrashing on RR. Just waiting for a topic that will allow me to post it and compete for the most anti-donds.

Strawbs -Autumn

And one last anti-dond candidate, a nauseatingly fluffy fairy cotton candy confection which happens to be my favorite (solo) Sting song, and one i think is just lovely -

5. I’d like to say Dangerous Curves Ahead, but that would be a lie. So I’ll dond exodus and say Do Not Disturb. Otherwise I’ll cast my lot with the other Libras on the blog. Otherwise known as Imbalances to the French, n’est-ce pas, Ejaydee?
Same sign as Jimmy Carter, Jesse Jackson, Juan Peron, Lech Walesa, lee Harvey Oswald, David Cameron, Peter Mandelson, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Bryan Ferry, and David Lee Roth.
Put that unholy mix in your bong and smoke it, Mitch.

Thanks for Playing!

Capricorns don’t believe in star signs

That’s amazing – I’m a Capricorn and I don’t believe in them either. So there must be ….

Now wait a minute …

Heat; so taken with the trout pout I might get one.

Dilettante and lazy with it; violin, accordion, saxophone/clarinet and now guitar. Planning fuck off double bass drum kit for retirement years.

Every Peter Hammill recording ever released, in multiple versions/labels/formats and a huge heap of live concert recordings that I’ve never ever revisited.

Keep left – Scorpio
