The Album Review Club - Week #144 - (page 1893) - XO - Elliot Smith

[Black&White&BlueMoon Town]

Boy Crazy - Bowie sound, cool groove.

I was trying to think what sound that song reminded me of, and THAT was it. Another listen and now I hear some Ziggy and Diamond Dogs albums parallels. Great observation on that track.

The week finishes with The Tubes having an identical score to Bruce Springsteen's The WIld, The Innocent and The E-Street Shuffle. 13 voters gave their debut album an average of 6.77. Some good discussion about The Tubes, San Francisco and 70s rock in general should leave @FogBlueInSanFran pretty happy with his nomination.

Now, if he can tear himself away from having to referee some contentious ties in the BlueMoon Cup, @BlueHammer85 is next up on this thread.

Gotta be it. You’re very good at this!

 

[RobMCFC]

Very good. Didn't even connect picture 1 to Pearl Harbour.

Was thinking of the Belgrano until I saw the cranes and realised it must be in dock somwhere. Seems obvious now!

Most of the time, it is a case of just say what you see. And versions of.

assuming it is right, of course.

Interesting fact I've just discovered: The General Belgrano was originally the USS Pheonix that actually survived the Pearl Harbour attack and was later sold to Argentina. I never knew that.

I cant believe I read that 15 mins ago and still didn't connect photo one with Pearl Harbour. What a clown!
