Is there a track on there that showcases him that we can put on the playlist?

ooh I love that song (see not all my taste is shite ;-)

Hyperbole is a good deflection technique. None of us know what will happen, but you know full well that's not how it would work anyway. Even Max Amann didn't run around sending people to the camps, at least not at first. He made life sufficiently uncomfortable that Eher could hoover up...

Made worse by the four lane smart motorways. The number of people driving in lane 3 when there's TWO empty lanes inside them is mad(dening).

You had and I'd already put it on! I'm not into this whole ageing process at all!

If Feeling Good is your nomination we'll have to wait to add it to the 1964 playlist (but I have made a note of it!) How about a bit of Dankworth like Stomping at the Savoy? or maybe something else?

It was but now Rob has nabbed it do you want to nominate a bit of Oscar Peterson or similar?

You will have heard the opening bars of this hundreds of times I imagine.

C'mon folks, you must have least seen Whiplash with the brilliant JK Simmons as the deranged villain? Hint for a track nomination...

Yeah, it means you can be shit at your job and still do well! https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20220825-height-discrimination-how-heightism-affects-careers (Said the not at all bitter 5' 8" bloke :-) )

Harsh as it seems to condemn an entire nation I have to agree with you on this!

Thanks, but not really. Like you I was intrigued the first time I read the claim and curiosity got the better of me so I did a bit of digging on the interweb. If it was the old days and I'd had to actually read (and remember) some stuff from books, that might have counted as erudition!

The Chet Baker was Res Joe's (very fine) nomination.

Haha I had a little bit on this in the original write-up but it was too long so got edited out. No-one really knows, the true origin of the word is lost in the midst of time and people have spent a lot of time trying to get a definitive answer. There's a fair few theories and sexually...

Haha! In fairness that should have attracted more points based on it's quality and it's thread score, I feel bad about it now!

I am genuinely sorry that this is how you feel and I hope it doesn't stay that way. Best wishes to you and yours, Foggy.

@Coatigan, I don't want to cast aspersions but the two albums near the top that seem to have outperformed their original scores on the thread appear to be by Frightened Rabbit and Idles ;-)

Personally I doubt it, though the narcissistic inclination will still be there he doesn't face the existential threat that Trump faced without running/winning. So if Johnson can find easier grifts that still massage his ego he'll be too lazy to go again. The Frog Faced Fuhrer is another matter...

It's only game over when everyone accepts that is the only path to power. It's a vile template that's been shown to work before in history, it's also been shown that even the vilest of ideologies and behaviours can eventually be defeated and rolled back albeit at great cost. It might take the...
