Kevan first suggested
Isaac Hayes ...followed by the William Tell overture.
Then Michael (me) wrote...
Lets Get It On...Ode to Joy ...1812 Overture
Neil suggested
Moon Safari, by Air.
hey, this is miss grumpy, i-hate-athens girl. Thats what I meant to paste. I haven't been paying attention to the US gig
Well, yes, but I think Kevan and I were going for a different kind of atmosphere. Spoon Safari is probably great for long, languid, hot-summers nights under a mosquitto net in colonial Africa kind of shag, whereas our suggestions are much more 18 year old slapper, cheesy disco, 1970's kind of affairs. One thing we both failed to mention is that in order for the effect to work properly you have to look sideways and pull various facial expressions, Robin Askwith style, at key moments. This works especially well if you play the William Tell Overture at 45 rather than 33 (and if you have a record deck that can play at 78...). Siete così skinny perché l' unico alimento che mangiate è i marinai dalla squadra di gioco del calcio dei rangers Whoops. I pasted that in by mistake, but since other people are putting in foreign language bits I'll leave it in. details, but it had been puzzling me why they were playing a gig in Greece after America. I feel a bit silly now. Michael McMichael was asking
Hm...I was trying to pick a B&S song that sounds wintry. Someone suggested Modern Rock Song, which I'd have to agree with, but what about The Boy Done Wrong Again as well? And just for that moment when the big fat (and I don't mean American) flakes start to fall, the album version of Slap Your Cock Around ((C)Nick). I can imagine that electronic-ruler-boing kind of effect at the start would sound great walking home in street-lit snow.
Ooh! I wanna dance with somebody, Michael (now depressed 'cause it doesn't snow in Reading like it did in Glasgow) PS. Sorry to any Italians reading this. That bit was automatically translated by a computer, so I have no idea whether it actually makes any sense in Italian. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
