Blue Moon Playlist Review Club - Season 2 - Episode 27 - Out on blue 6 - Gone Too Soon (pg 438)

I don't know anything about Journey but i could describe every second of what i think is the greatest climax in tv history whenever i hear it.
btw. thanks for putting the playlist together for me mate.

Doogle did it pal, thank him.

I enjoyed it's previous use of the song in the ealier TV show more. But it was a bit more background. But as I said, not one I watch, could never get into it.
 
i Have always been interested in the relationship between music and other art forms particularly film and TV. My playlist is a little different, I hope not too commercial, and is inspired by the Greatest TV series ever made. The Sopranos.

All the music for the Sopranos was chosen by the show runner David Chase and he had a particular genius for choosing non obvious tunes to brilliantly illustrate a scene. At times the choices were so immersive that I now cannot hear certain tunes without the accompanying scene playing like a movie reel in my head. For those that don’t know the Sopranos, this hopefully will be a good varied listen covering as it does a number of different genres Including classical, rock, American songbook and blues. Listen carefully for the City references in one of the tracks - I hadn’t realised David Chase was a Blue. For those that do know the Sopranos, a coconut for anyone that identifies which episode/scene each of these songs featured in.

as I only use Amazon Music, hopefully some kind soul can put these seven songs onto a Spotify Playlist for everyone. Hope you enjoy:

1. Woke up this Morning - Alabama 3
2. It was a very good year - Frank Sinatra
3. Peter Gunn theme - The Blues Brothers
4. State Trooper - Bruce Springsteen
5. Dirty Work - Steely Dan
6. Don’t stop believin’ - Journey
7. Con te Partiro - Andrea Bocelli

Don't know the last track (well I may have heard it) but I have the first six in my collection so even before I listen, and I will, I can confirmmy approval of that playlist. Three of the tracks are on The Sopranos soundtrack album I have but A3 is the the only one of those not on other albums.

The Sopranos is the best TV show ever, aside from opening credits and final scene I couldn't place the music though.

I will reveal all at the end of the week if no one gets there before me.

Track 3 is an interesting one. In the episode it segues into a very famous Police track. If you hum the rythm/melody of track 3 you can pretty easily guess which one.
 
Nice playlist and I know some of the tracks.

You’re playing fast and loose with the rules though - you’ve gone over the 5-track limit!!

I think I recall the segue but it's years since I watched the Sopranos. I only watched the episodes when they were originally broadcast.

you should have another bash. I have watched it maybe 4 times all the way through. The last time, earlier this year was probably the most enjoyable.

Ah, two were fillers and links between the five :-)

A couple mentions of the number over 5, and I imagine a couple more thinking it, so I'll wade in too.

I think we should try stick to the 5 max. Doesn't have to be militant, but it is good for consistency.

I can however see instances where going over might be deemed needed, and if we do, then lets let there be a good reason for it, and state that reason. I.e not just adding numbers, but either completing a set begging to be complete, or rounding off nicely etc.

For example, an EP with 6 songs in total, be daft to play 5 and leave out the last one, and folk would probably listen to it anyway. Or say u want to put forward a band and one song from each of their albums, and they had 6, etc.

I guess in this one you felt they had links? Either way, if going over, best stick within the time limit, and maybe not make a habit of it.

That's where I stand on it, happy to be overruled though.
