With Hallowe'en being celebrated in our street tonight (absurd----it's not a Dutch tradition, just another way of milking the gullible Dutch public), I knocked together this ode to the most ghoulish BB song in an hour or two. <Solution> being the devilishly awkward word it is to reverse, I had to be creative (again):
Deficit, eh? Tap my solution! I hem, 'tis I. Is it "Me hi"? No, it "U lo"! (Sympathetic, I fed.)
John's fine halloween palindrome in a halloween-waka-pal version: >Deficit, eh? tap! "My Solution" - I hem, 'tis I. Aha! Is it "Me, Hi"? No, it "U, lo"! Sympathetic I fed< Thank you, Rasmus. :=) I'm now working on a more complex 'drome which I hope to finish sometime this week... Great shame about SWD... |

Had to hold this one back for today. And gosh darn it if a witch didn't find her way into it! Don't blame me----I just got the ball rolling:
Sag on, anti-mega-hero monster. Refract espagnol (olé!). Merc. Rev: "Ol' Graveyard", etc. Craps (s)mash Sam's spar: cc. Ted Ray, Eva, R. Glover... Creme (Lol) on gap-set car ferrets no more. Hag, emit nano-gas!

Frank is good. Back to Black is a timeless classic.
Lioness is good too! Posthumous compilation of songs from various periods of her career. Thanks for the tip, Ovi. I've got it lined up for future listening (after Freddie and Montserrat)... |

Oops! Missed your birthday, Chuck. (I was briefly back in the UK).
Ye gods----ninety! Of all the big r'n'r names from the fifties, is it just Chuck and The Killer now?
Little Richard, Fats Domino and Dion are still alive and relatively well. So is Pat Boone. Yes of course. I was a little hasty in my enthusiasm. Thanks for pulling me up on that! |

Hi Ovi. Very cool review. I'm one of probably many who were overly influenced by the media focus on her excesses (a bit like Pete Docherty) and shied away from her music. I even made patronizing remarks about her on this forum (well, we all do things we're later ashamed of). Since then a friend sent me Back to Black. I love this album. If there has to be a stand-out track for me it's "Tears Dry On Their Own". The chorus is one of the saddest things I've ever heard; the music is majestic. I think the connection with the optimistic Marvin Gaye--Tammi Terrell song only makes it more poignant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojdbDYahiCQ Frank is good. Back to Black is a timeless classic. |

Loop de loop. Re-vocallize. Al, Al… Al!
La La La! EZ. I’ll a’ cover. Pool, Ed. Pool! Great stuff, CD! And all in a good cause (alleviating the pain of work). This is #6 in this mini-series of holiday 'dromes. Brian's innocent little crowd-organizing piece gets the john k treatment: Mop-top Starr: "Annie Mae, R. Dio's rug is sorta oblate." (Ma wore filth/gin.) A nightlife row, a metal boat (Ros, Sigur). So I dream----"Ein, narr!"----at spot P. Om! |
