I'd never heard Aphrodisiac by Bow Wow Wow
until I saw this advertisement about 3000 times
I don't
understand the title of this thread?
Me neither
?
one of the things i like about this discussion board
is that people are happy to say "er, what does that mean?" rather than keeping quiet ...
i haven't a clue either
Not
telling :-p
Oh ok its a semi obscure Bob Dylan lyric "Troubled and I don't know why'
What did the television squall?
Well, it roared an' it boomed
An' it bounced around the room,
An' it never said nothin' at all.
It was on my hifi stereo equipment player while I was typing. Not one of his best I'll grant you.....
Thankee!
do you think he meant 'squeal'?
Yeah
although after just looking it up it might derive from Old Norse "skvala" meaning 'to squeal'
I remember describing the 25 minute long 'No Hidden Path' at one of Neil Young's concerts a couple of years ago being 'a squall' when I should have written 'arse gravy'
Joy Division - Heart & Soul
This was admittedly on a BBC documentary about Factory, but what took me by surprise was:
- for a moment I couldn't place the song, as it fitted the particular footage (of 70s Manchester) so well without being a cliche, and
- how atmospheric it was: of course, listening to JD you appreciate what it sounds like, but being taken out of context seemed to give it an extra edge.
Sopranos
The number of great songs I've tracked down after hearing them on the show (The best show in the world) are too many to count, but here's just a couple. Jefferson Airplane and, of course, the theme song by Alabama 3:
The Black Keys on "Hung"
"I'll Be Your Man"
and jolly good it is too
from an episode of Breaking Bad
Colin Hay ...Overkill
Jace Everett - Bad Things
Blind Boys of Alabama - Way Down in the hole
Is Squall
a Middle class word ?
I'm now obsessed with Infanta by The Decemberists
Since this...
