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

[RobMCFC]

I lived in Middlewich for a few years and there was barely a day I didn't go down the A54 to Jnc 18. So at the risk of being obvious...

Sproston Green - The Charlatans

Great choice. I love that song but it didn't even occur to me for the initial list.

 

[BimboBob]

Well I’ve done my three on ‘blue’.
Do I do three for yellow now, then green etc.

Didn't you do rgb that covers everything?

Better you this week than me, Rob. Godspeed.

Wasn’t me.

G'Ah! Does anybody bother reading the criteria?

Peaches is a fantastic song but neither qualify as, deep breath, they don't include one of the following in the title:-

RED
BLUE
YELLOW
GREEN
PURPLE
ORANGE

Tbf I saw on faceache the other day, that whilst those are the colours men see.......in the female world, there're as many different colours as utd have fans in Asia ;)
......maybe it's a female poster?

To quote the band whose lead singer quit before they made one of their best albums, "everybody wants some"...

 

[Mancitydoogle]

Quite apt i think. Cockney Rebel ‘Red is a Mean Mean Colour’

 

[Mancitydoogle]

@Black&White&BlueMoon Town recommended a US Tv series
‘This is Us’ ,wife loves it , this song is played throughout the first series and it’s been covered by many.
Jackson C Frank ‘Blues Run The Game’
Shame we didn’t last night!

 

[Coatigan]

I thought I put this forward for the collaborations theme, but checked back and I did not.

Into the blue - Woomble, Drever and McKusker. (Of Idlewild, Lau and, well - pretty much everything)

 

[Out on blue 6]

One for the kit man

Father John Misty - Goodbye Mr Blue

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

It’s good to have another music thread to retreat to. I’ll be listening to this more than the album of the week pick this week, I suspect.

 

[Black&White&BlueMoon Town]

I got to see the song "Purple Rain" performed live in concert last night, and it sounded very good by Boy George and his band, but that isn't what this song will be. Just thought I'd mention it because it fit the colour theme, and it was a nice surprise closer.

I'm going to go back to my childhood to find a song I enjoyed quite a lot hearing and singing to in the car on the radio. My first pre-10 year old crush was on my next door neighbor who shared the same name in this song, so needless to say, this refrain got sung whenever it came on. Fond memories. Obviously I had no idea this song was inspired from a male drug dealer, but the lyrics got changed by producer Glyn Johns to make it about a girl.

This was a hit in the US, but apparently not in the UK, so perhaps an inverse to this week's album selection's popularity.

"Jackie Blue" - Ozark Mountain Daredevils

 

[lastmanback]

Haint blue - Bell X1 .
from the Dulux colour card :-)

 

[BimboBob]

Joe Bonamassa - Redemption

My final pick.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

I was sceptical on first listens early on Rob, but I have to say as material is added I’m getting more out of my afternoon coffee break with this on shuffle.

As you would expect, there’s a really varied and interesting selection here.
Quite a decent mix for all to enjoy.

I’d just like a bit of kudos for sparing you all Chris de Burgh and Lady in Red, which the missus suggested.

Joe Bonamassa - Redemption

My final pick.

There's no way Sir will let you get away with that. To the blackboard....

I must not willfully abuse the theme
I must not willfully abuse the theme...

I almost commented to pass the popcorn, but I've been waiting for it...!

Made me laugh, he is fairly ubiquitous; he was even the first Mr Rusby!

 

[Black&White&BlueMoon Town]

I’d just like a bit of kudos for sparing you all Chris de Burgh and Lady in Red, which the missus suggested.

I almost had one of 4 Rush songs that have "Red" in the title on the ready too, so I'll take a bow for sparing MCD on that... though I do have one selection left, but I'm trying to be nice after all of the reviews from the last fortnight of content!
