Right all, Oct 29th we got to submit music for Teh Forum Winter 2006 CD.

 

:)

California Dreamin' by The Mamas & The Papas

 

or

 

Fairytale of New York by The Pogues featuring Kirsty MacColl

About time you got your shiznit together with this project Trig, it being possibly the only good idea you've had in your life.

My two tracks are Falling Snowflakes by Chris Cozens (bit of an obscurity: I can always email it or upload it to a file sharing server) and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by The Pretenders.

I think we should rise to the challenge of NOT including Fairytale of New York.

Hater :(

Only cos it's probably the best Christmas track ever committed to vinyl* but is rapidly becoming part of the canon of just-about-tolerable-christmas-songs-that-have-been-reduced-to-cliche-cos-they've-been-played-to-death.

I'm close to doing that with the Pretenders track, which still gives me a warm and fuzzy enema every time I play it.








*With the obvious exception of Gayler Peevey's immortal I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

That Old Christmas Moon
Frosty the Snowman

...the Leon Redbone versions.

Game over.
You dicks took ages to reply.
Forget it.

Classic Trig: one good idea and he huffs his way out of a place in the hearts of all.

 

Any kind (and slightly less frantically busy than me) soul up for taking over the task?

(checks out)

I love Leon Redbone almost more than is healthy for one man to love another: in a purely musical way of course.

To my tired ears, the Ghost of the St Louis Blues is as perfect as a perfect thing can be.

But not wintery.

So I didn't suggest it.

But now that the winter CD is not to be, I will.

It will be. We must exert the Werthery potency of our years upon some obliging young shaver. Like we do in public lavatories.

No. Its /was/ my baby. The time is over.
I dont want ideas from minds 2 months when I asked for winter records.
Ideas will be different now.
The deal is off.
You do not have rights to my project.

So who wants to seriously peeve Trig?

Oh, go on then. I'm busy at the mo but I'll do a summary tomorrow.

You're a good 'un, despite what all the Irishes say.

I dont mind. Its only the internet. I cant stop noone on the internet. What im I thinking. Do what you want.

ps. This does NOT make you any sort of young shaver, obliging or otherwise. You're still in the realm of the Werther sniffers, if not active suckers.

It was and still is a good idea. pat yourself on the potato.

This is the way I think. I like flipping the script. No one would consider making a Winter CD. Cause its leftfield and not considered special.
PS: The Stereo MCs are one of the best ever 1990s bands.
You know why the 1990s are the 1st best decade for music?
Its because all those 1990s artists had parents who grew up during the 2nd best decade for music. The 1960s.
Oasis liked The Beatles, The Who amounst others.
Blur liked The Kinks and everything essential English.

So what are your two tracks?
