The Album Review Club - Week #195 (page 1310) - A New World Record - ELO

[Coatigan]

Probably should have packed them all in at Don't Come Home Too Soon, fairly definitive as these things go.

Can't beat that for an uplifting sports anthem for some crowd positivity!

Nathan Evans' new effort isn't too bad, in a new Caledonia attempt kinda way.

Maybe a theme for one round, tournament songs. Waka waka eh, Eh?

Bloody hell mate. How did you know I like Kate Bush music. I thought I had kept that well hidden.
Rob, can I change my track please.

I just assumed George had an album out.

"Now Watch This Drive"

Great title for an album.

I just assumed George had an album out.

It’s called Dessert Storms greatest hits 2.

Ha, forgive me @RobMCFC and the rest -- my last kid graduated from high school yesterday so running around quite a bit the last few days!

Submitted now.

Congrats, and I'll take a 0.5 point bonus any way I can! ;-)

I have the Alcohol playlist on at the moment.
Anyway we could mix the two. ;-)

Weird. I thought about a Kurt Vile track and I toyed with being a smartarse and going for The Bad Plus's version of Karma Police too.

Congratulations to him and you & Mrs Fog on your new found financial freedom...and there was me thinkign you had been out on a bender celebrating the Rule of Law/Lawfare

 

[Black&White&BlueMoon Town]

Congratulations. Financial freedom ahoy!

Foggy, not sure of your graduate's next plans, but if it involves college... I'll let you fill in the potential sobering info there.

My last graduated college last month and except for a likely transition back to the home front while working the first full-time job, hopefully the big heavy financial lifting is done. (fingers crossed)

 

[Coatigan]

I'm definitely being set up.

First clarkie, aye?

 

[threespires]

First clarkie, aye?

It's a matter of record that I am rubbish at both doing and spotting the clarkies so I'm just not going to bother this time round :-)

 

[Coatigan]

I also think Rob is being framed.

 

[Coatigan]

There is a good chance Gornik might be getting framed too.

Can anyone vote or just the people who submitted a song? And we send our top 10?

There's no vote, you just have to match the tunes to the posters who submitted.

Which Rob will list when he gets back from farting about.

Lovely to hear The Carpenters again. Beautiful tune.

I’ve got one finishing up sophomore year in uni and this one is going too. But I’m very lucky. The first one got a nice academic fellowship to a big state school which defrays the cost significantly. The second one also got a smaller academic one but she was also recruited for track and field (for high jump; D3 so no money but as an athlete gets a few spiffs). We plan to downsize our home substantially in a few years to make coming back after as uncomfortable as possible! But they’re good kids so always welcome back :)
