Thanks, @Captain Spaulding for the reference. I miss everything.
So I've thought long and hard on the the subject of what tracks to sacrifice up to the MOFO music gawds that are never pleased with my offerings. This month? I say screw it. I'll throw my own themed party this time around, and the celebration is a selection of soundtracks from the 80s. Right out of the gate, Real Life... https://media1.tenor.com/images/84c5...affd/tenor.gif Inspired by a recently watched (and fondly remembered) B-movie story of a local, small town boy fighting all odds against big corporation and sellout commercialism in the form of BMX freestyle, I nominate Real Life - Send me an Angel, from the 1986 movie, Rad. This movie taught me that I will never be coordinated enough to even pull off a wheelie, or have enough money to buy a BMX with pegs or proper rotor. This song and music sequence within the movie taught me of love, the lengths one must go to earn it, and the devastating cold reality of heartache and loss when Cru races off into the night before Christian is able to push through the student crowd to ask his name. Lori Loughlin? I never cared that you bribed you kid's way into college. I still love you. |

Let's do this. No noisy blowers in the apartment before next week so I can actually listen to these. No promises I'll do every round.
R1 nomination: PANZERFAUST - The Faustian Pact |
Re: A Song For October
By all rights, Bowie probably should have been my first nom. I must admit that I did consider a track-by-track submission of the Labyrinth soundtrack album. I thought better of it, on reconsideration, as that would have been unfair to all other noms and would have most certainly defeated the purpose of the competition.

Re: A Song For October
John Anderson - Seminole Wind
If this one is blocked for anybody, I guess any alternative is fine. This one is just much better quality than most of the others, so I wanted those who could listen to it to have the best quality possible. I just nominated the song that's been stuck in my head for the past three weeks. |

For anyone working with "www" type song links (as opposed to the "youtu.be" variety) that doesn't know how to make a song link external (rather than imbedding the video):
External linking is easy:I'd appreciate if those using "www" type links would try to do the above as it just makes it that little bit easier for the lazy dog that is otherwise known as myself ;) Thanks, Chyp |
Here are the results of the 'lazy dog' jury......
Being down the list doesn't necessarily mean I didn't like it ..... quite a strong round imo. |
Dusty Springfield - Spooky - Yes, I'm theming again. Obvious from the start this time. :D
The Mooney Suzuki - Alive & Amplified - It's a nice pastiche? Affectionate tribute? I don't know, but I like it. Girlschool - Race with the Devil - Quality from a band which doesn't get listened to as often as it should. toconoma - relive - A minute in and I'm liking this. If it doesn't outstay its welcome expect to see this nearer the top than the bottom. Real Life - Send me an Angel - 80's euro pop stylee? Yes please. Fleetwood Mac - The Chain - For a UK F1 fan, this is always going to do well. Unless I find lots of new songs I really like here I can't see this not doing well for me this round. Toto - Rosanna - Classic. But suffers when it's not the chorus. O. Children - Ruins - Very 80's goth. Not exactly my thing, but not bad. Doesn't Matter - Christine and the Queens - This is pretty pleasant. Joe Cocker - Edge Of A Dream - It's Joe Cocker. It sounds like Joe Cocker. It's ok and that's about it really. Aseul - Fisher - On another day I think this would've done better with me. Today is not that day though. John Anderson - Seminole Wind § (alt vsn if needed) - At least it's not last. Though that may upset you. :D PANZERFAUST - The Faustian Pact - Too much too long today. |
