Ah..helplessly hoping. Superb!

Pictures 'Pictures' (1983)



Doing a vinyl rip of this at the moment (never released on CD) and I cannot tell you enough how incredibly WEIRD this album is.
Knocked up in a studio by two guys who obviously had too much time on their hands.

Imagine a soundtrack to a very unsettling and unpleasant dream with clattering drum-machines and every odd synth effect you can think of.

So strange.

Royal Academy of Music Annual Spring Recital.

I used to coach one of the lads, Charles Cunliffe (Cycling NOT singing!) Check if your system's vocal balance is right!

AC/DC - Power Up
Age of Taurus - Desperate souls of troubled times

Tedious people, tiresome town
Under the gaze of the mayoral frown
Always calm with a gentle breeze
Tarkus in black vinyl please
What would you do
If the sexton's wife from the best-kept village nearby came running
With bells round her neck and said
You'd better move away, tomorrow or today
'Cause when the owl starts laughing
We will all fall down
There's an outbreak of Vitas Gerulaitis on the way
Why it's Mr Kowalski
It was you all along
That ski lodge would have been mine
If it wasn't for you meddling kids
But what can you do
When your Mum's in Rampton, bouncing off the walls
And singing "Who's afraid, of Virginia Wade?"
Why do that today when you can always put it off until tomorrow?
Was our motto
Subsequently engraved on a plaque
As a reminder of the attack
Of Vitas Gerulaitis
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
Who's afraid of Virginia Wade?
Who's afraid of Virginia Wade?
An outbreak of Vitas Gerulaitis
In the town
In the town
In the town
In the town
We all fall down

My last "normal times" evening out was in to Northampton to see Half Man Half Biscuit. Happy days!

Gerry Rafferty - Essential.

I think his voice is like silk stockings on a very attractive lady. Smooth, soothing and seductive
