The Album Review Club - Week #145 - (page 1923) - Tellin' Stories - The Charlatans

Been listening to AGDCFF in the off time between albums this week. Quite liked it to be honest. The day in a life documentary style would make a great musical :)

I thought I was going to take bottom last week. I have another album in my back pocket that might get that honour once I've worked through some stuff I like better -

This isn't a race to the bottom mate. You are allowed to propose music that some folk might like. :-)

I like it which is why I'd propose it :) Im toying between two choices for my next album. One might be considered a little bland but the other I think would be well received.

Thought I would spread some good news about our favourite beat group. From the BBC:

William Shakespeare's Hamlet is to be combined with Radiohead's album Hail to the Thief for an unusual new stage show.
Hamlet Hail to the Thief was the brainchild of theatre director Christine Jones, who came up with the idea after noticing the play and album shared similar themes of moral corruption, decay, and dysfunctional government.
The show will receive its world premiere in Manchester in April before transferring to Stratford-Upon-Avon in June.
Radiohead's Thom Yorke, who is re-working the 2003 album for the show, described the project as an "interesting and intimidating challenge".

mmmmmm....
Can't wait.

The author of that article does not understand the meaning of the word “brainchild.”

I was walking down the road and who should wander by than Robert Lindsay and his good pal Dame Judy Dench. We had a good chat and I gave them some pointers for the next time they attempt Lear.
As I said to Johnny Guilgud afterwards
That was nice......
:-)

You old name dropper you.

I know. It was pretty brief and I'd heard he could be a bit spiky but though he's definitely a luvvie he was friendlier than I anticipated. Possibly because I chose not to give him any notes and was quite sycophantic :-)

I once sat on a train with Craig Charles discussing football neither of us actually acknowledging that he was Craig Charles. Really did want to give him some notes in relation to Red Dwarf but again thought better of it.

At last, a man of discernment unlike the rest of these ne'er-do-wells. (That's not fair, there were some who got it, just not as many as those who definitely 'un-got' it)

Humour me.
What is AGDCFF?
Is it a guitar riff or chord progression?

A Grand Don't Come For Free​

Given the level of love expressed for musicals on here recently I'm thinking of nominating one next time round. The two I've got in mind are

Silence! The Musical
(Hannibal Lecter with jazz hands)

or

Dolls of Albion: a Steampunk Opera
(What happens if you transfer/reanimate the souls of your dead loved ones into mechanical dolls:answer nothing good)

Very happy to take input on which one I go with, but either way pretty sure I'll be getting Skinner off the bottom.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and one of the neighbours would come out and shout, go on down your own area with that sort of carry-on! I’ll tell your mother. Go on now.

Don’t you dare start a musical subsection in here.
Get your own thread. Go on, I’ll tell Ric, on ye!
