The wan*ers who closed the blog early are in good company. The wa*kers at Firefox upgraded the program to 3.5 but downgraded the UK to, well, ocean.So to defy the gods, I'll post my dialogue bloody donds here:
This is a week when the obvious really is the best. You hunt and hunt for unknown treasures, but the standards really have earned their place. They just don't, he says in his old nostalgic man voice, do songs like that anymore.
Carla Thomas & Otis Redding - Tramp (Nick76) Sadly zedded
Ray Charles & Betty Carter - Baby It's Cold Outisde (RockingMitch). This is THE killer version. Ray's voice is so sweet, and those horns!
Harry Belafonte & Eartha Kitt - Hole in My Bucket (RockingMitch)
...the only modern song that holds a candle is Pogues w Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York (BalearicBeat)
Eminem - Stan (isotope) has great dialogue, but lacks the urgency of a face-to-face encounter.
Donds too for:
Black Box Recorder - The Art Of Driving (laurenzi)
Tindersticks - Travelling Light (richardrj)
Jimmy Castor Bunch - Troglodytes (nidhogg)
sly, slick & wicked - sho' nuf (mototom)
Roots - you Got Me (steenbeck)
Schwervon! - Dinner (saneshane)
Pony Up! - I Heard You Got Action (saneshane)
Tommie Young - Take Time To Know Him (steenbeck)
Velvet Underground - The Gift (tonymulryan)
Long Blondes - you could have both (technopeasant)
DOND OF THE WEEK:
Primitive Radio Gods - Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth (Shoegazer)

An I do believe no-one suggested the Temptations : Pap Was A Rolling Stone. "mama I'm depending on you to tell me the truth".
It's one of those topics where songs will keep coming up , years from hence...
PAPA ! christ !
Prompted by the earlier thread about getting involved with RR, I looked back through the Great Marconium to discover that my first A-list success was The Gift by The Velvet Underground. So it's a pointless nom, I'm afraid.
Yay, seem to be doing much better with Tindonds than the "official" list. Perhaps the firm of Marconius, Marconius, Marconius, Marconius, Marconius, Marconius & Marconius, should start some sort of archive to record these achievements? Always nice to know when someone else likes a pick, so thanks for taking the time.
No problems with Safari since started using that browser 18 months ago, btw.
Is it time, I wonder, to give 'Readers Recommend - The Complete Index' a more dignified and reverential name?
'The Great Marconium' seems to be my starter for ten..
Marconius7 obviously gets to pick the winner. None of these fancy poll thingies.
The Great MaRRconium?
We could repurpose a nice rule from mini-golf, which to avoid unduly embarrassing incompetent people, has a maximum strokes rule. His list of totals of A and B lists we've each managed could start with a minimum of 3 so any of us musically incompetent folk don't look so bad.
oops forgot to ask Magic of he had hear Los Lobos' Papa Was A Rolling Stone?
No he hadn't heard that. So Los Lobos daddy was rollin too huh ?
i'll dropbox it.

Wanking
Hmmmm ...
TCM ... I think you can probably get away with the singular and plural nouns and possibly a variety of forms of the verb ... would it be your arse or mine that the tossers might kick if I was to explore the adjectival and adverbial possibilities? If it's yours then I might just let rip ... Is this a research project of yours? People get PhDs for the oddest things these days.
Thanks for leading the way on the experimental wanking front TY. I'm sure there's a Nobek Award (like a Nobel, but, well a letter off) in it for you.
I'd settle for a Knobel and a years supply of those tablets for repetitive strain injury ...
Viagra?
No, she came of her own accord ..
Doh ... my potty mouth has got me banned. I'm seeing the blog on Yoof Cults ... but can't log in .... grrrrr.
Well, I'll be back, and I'll be claiming Jeunesse Doree by PH when I get there.
I can't sign in either. It's very frustrating. Grr!
TCM--I didn't get around to commenting on much this week, but I'd meant to say I was glad you got a chance to post these on here. I find it overwhelming trying to pay attention to everything on RR, and I generally go back and listen to things that you dond. Sometimes it helps to look at the blog through tin lenses.
You're probably not checking this any more, are you?
no, i'm not
But if I had, I'd be honoured
