Comment:
I told a friend that I would do her a mix on the occasion of her birthday and in a flippant flight of fancy I said that that it would be a concept mix based on The Book Of Revelations and an old Lancashire folk tale about an errant milkmaid, as envisaged in Skip Spence's unfilmable screenplay. However she called my bluff and threw the gauntlet. And so it came to pass, that the milkmaid went a-wandering and found herself at the end of Blackpool's North Pier where she meets Gracie and George, top-flight-twice-a-night-light-entertainers who practise the ancient Lancastrian art of Insinuendo. They take her to Manchester, home to the Cotton Kings and Bad Joey Barton. Here she meets a Frenchman and a Jamaican who warn her of the approaching armagiddeon time. The sea turns to sour milk, there is a plague of barbiturates and amidst this biblical backdrop our lassie falls for a slippery stranger and gives unto him her most precious womanly gift of fu-fu.After this it all gets a bit crazy as Good and Evil battle it out eight miles high over Rochdale. Amen.
Feedback:
The whole thing sounds fun. This deserves a few more comments.
Truly original...would like to hear this...way interesting concept and song choices.
good god. well, done. your masterpiece?
Loosk like a fun ride down the milky way. I especially dig the Lou Rawls and Captain & Tennille.
nice with Nic Jones and Joyce on a mix
looks impressive although (and please don't take this the wrong way), I kinda struggle to take a mix seriously when it has the Captain and Toenail on it . . . . (sorry Herr Mohr).I love the concept, however. What are those wooden roller coasters called on the Pleasure Beach there where you can race your mates? I love Blackpool.
Epic effort, first time I've seen Gracie on a mix. Has Gobi ever been to Blackpool?
Go good! Go evil! Go alma cogan!
Damn fine mix. R.I.P Lou Rawls
Absolutely excellent. We need more mixes which include Lancastrian folktales. The train I get in the morning goes to Blackpool and some days I just think, I should just stay on it and spend the day eating chips and ice-cream on the Pleasure Beach. I would love to hear this!
This looks way cool.
Yes, absolutely excellent and way cool, indeed. I second Sammy's Lou Rawls R.I.P., as well.
Brilliant! 7, 11, 13, 16 and 22 are particularly revelatory. The girl in the picture used to work at Littleborough Yacht Club in the seventies. Looks like she married that Dutch master after all.
wow
Impressive!
