The Chain

Some great leftfield stuff coming out.

Here's "another folk singer", Simone Felice, hopefully an exception to the rule.



Radio Woodstock, yeh maaaannn.

[Wilcken]

Ah, that was nice Camus.

I can go towards folk.

Far and away my favorite folk singer though, is the indomitable Nina Simone.
(the coincidental link to Simone Felice makes it an impossible link to pass up)

[Nash]

One of Nina Simone's biggest was Feeling Good which was written by Anthony Newley.

Anthony Newley was in this:

[camus]

When Dave wanted to BE Anthony Newley.

(When I Live My Dream) >

"What a dream, life would seem if only
They let you keep your etch-a-sketch..."

[Nash]

Nice...that's a new one on me Wilcken, like it!

Tea and Thorazine is a helluva cocktail, nice to temper it with some.....

[camus]

A drinking song!

[Nash]

Aren't all Pogues songs drinking songs?

Beer and whiskey?

[camus]

Aren't all Pogues songs drinking songs?

NO! Some are about war - AND DRINKING

[Nash]

Woah there, Kris! That's dangerous ground, I'd better post something before someone posts Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl!

....and boats and drinking!

[camus]

Moving on swiftly - Rover was THE cliche name for a pet dog:



I'm betting it'll make a return in an "ironic" kinda way.

[Wilcken]

Damn. Missed my chance to play Dirty Old Town. (I feel like I missed the party there, too)

At least I'm not hungover. And here's a dog song I'm quite fond of.

[Antcliff]

Salty Dog to Salty Dog

[Wilcken]

Drama.

(btw I just put that movie on my list, Ant)

[camus]

From the Decemberists to the...Decemberists, cause it's one of my fav tracks and it'll soon be July!

and because of these lines:

"and i'll say your camisole was sprightly light magenta
when in fact it was a nappy blueish grey"

[Wilcken]

Oh, I'm a fan of the Decemberists too. The closest I've found to the sound of Neutral Milk Hotel since they disappeared.

Here's a track by Belle & Sebastian with mention of lovely fabrics and underthings: terry underwear, blue velour and silk and suchlike.

Devotchka - Russian for 'girl'. Used by Burgess in Clockwork Orange as part of Nadsat.

[camus]

Ok slight (but not much) deviation. From one film Clockwork Orange to another The Shining

So songs from/associated with/alluded to etc - fillum.

[camus]

Great Blur Track by the way Nash. One of their best.

[Oskar]

The Shining - Jack Nicholson and Scatman Crothers - One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest -

[camus]

Excellent link Oscar, never heard the full version.

[Nash]

Haven't heard that BDB track for ages Kris, beautiful ain't it? Bonus points for the Kubrick link too!

That's just pure class Oskar.

This perhaps isn't as classy, but the great Scatman Crothers was also the voice of:

[camus]

Yep it's a beaut. And of course the Kubrick link! didn't click.

From one fine Kung/Kong fu tv series to another:
