Blue Moon Playlist Review Club - Season 2 - Episode 32 - threespires - Could have been a Contender (pg 472)

[GornikDaze]

Buddy Holly (and Mary Tyler Moore) - Weezer

 

[threespires]

It would be if there was actual mention of him at the time rather than writings made quite a few years after. Very fastidious the Romans. Wrote everything down. Apart from anything to do with Jesus...

A debate for another time...

My admittedly limited understanding is contemporaneous Roman records are nowhere near as extensive as we tend to assume and so most arguments from silence tend not to meet the criteria most historians apply. However, you are right this is derail the thread stuff so back on topic...

The Great Chinggis Khaan - The Hu

I did think about nominating Yvonne Ellerman - I Don't Know How To Love Him but decided that would probably be unhelpful at this point :-)

 

[threespires]

Next you’ll be saying the ‘Wee Donkey’ was a mythical creature.

If the wee donkey is good enough for Superintendent Ted Hastings it's good enough for me.

"Save Me Joe Louis" - Curtis Eller's American Circus

Bout time we had a bit of banjo. Curtis Eller should appear on this thread more.

 

[threespires]

@threespires, there's a 2 part documentary about Peat and Diesel on bbc iPlayer or via sky. I haven't seen any of it btw, not recommending it as such, just passing on. I'll get round to watching it, hopefully interesting

Thanks. Just checked out the first 10 mins and it looks good. Their bemusement/mild contempt about their increasing popularity in England is quite funny.

 

[Mancitydoogle]

‘Justice in Ontario’ Steve Earle about the Black Donnellys

 

[BimboBob]

Herman's Hermits - Henry The VIII I Am

 

[threespires]

Herman's Hermits - Henry The VIII I Am

I was going to nominate that at some point. A cockney musical hall song that got to number one in America and apparently the inspiration for the Ramones bish bash bosh approach.

"Fitzsimmons Fight" - Seth Lakeman

This is an account of the 14 round, two-hour fight in 1897 between Helston-born Cornish heavyweight boxer Bob Fitzsimmons and the reigning world champion, “Gentleman” Jim Corbett.

 

[Out on blue 6]

Manic Street Preachers - Kevin Carter

 

[OB1]

Are you going to do one wife/track a day? :-)

No, but can't promise there won't be more wives. However, today we are going for a US president.

Saxon: "Dallas 1pm".

That’s tomorrows choice up the swanney!

 

[Black&White&BlueMoon Town]

Welp, I guess this is me doubling-down on Day 2.

I have not checked this submission with the Romans or any archaeologists in the field, but my view is if we don't get a smile/laugh out of some of these, then perhaps we're missing the whole point.

And sorry if I've nicked this from a fellow fan of this group (he knows who he is), but I'll be claiming this:

“The Angel of Death Came to David's Room” – Mewithoutyou

Yes, that King David.

"I'm sorry, friend, that's none of my concern"

Tomorrow's one might be on your 'bet Bimbo posts this song' list.

 

[threespires]

Yes, that King David.

Hmm, ponders whether to nominate
Patty Griffin - Moses

Probably won't but it's still a great song.

 

[Black&White&BlueMoon Town]

I've got at least one more in the tank too, so I'm hoping for an epiphany (or maybe an epistle?) by the weekend!

Your brackets have got me hoping it's a
St Paul & The Broken Bones song but I think not. Toad the Wet Sprocket have a song about him though I think.

 

[BimboBob]

Norman Bates - Landscape

I'm sure they did another famous name song...

 

[threespires]

As a rule I like protest songs to be grounded and gritty rather than tending towards the bombastic; with one exception:

Biko - Peter Gabriel

 

[Mancitydoogle]

‘Soldier Blue’ Buffy Sainte - Marie
