Comment:
Side 11) Before The Beatles started taking themselves seriously or rather before the world started taking The Beatles seriously.
2) If memory serves me Elvis is painting a boat aided of couse by an assembly line of gals armed with paint brushes: `We got a magic potion that will help us win / I don't know how to spell it / But dick right in / Blackawax Atomic Posphate it's the latest scoop / but that's alright girls you can call it goop.' Ah when goop was goop and so easily spilled.
7) From their masterpiece The Plan (please bring it out on CD)..our mormon heroes are plunged into an urban nightmare as they struggle to keep the traffic (yes, literally) out of their mind. Folks came from far & wide to taste Mrs.Osmond's apple-pie!
9) Casablanca Records hired the worst songwriters they could find & dropped them off at Cher's studio - `I'm a sucker for his wah wah/ He's the hottest axe in town'
12) Never been to Leeds but I see no accident in towns beyond The Watford Gap as being home to many of The Goth Greats - it's grim up North - just ask Joy Division. I saw The Sisters once- before they recruited Patricia Morrison - and was heartened to see Mr Anoconda (Andrew Eldritch - a degree in Japanese don't you know) limping down Oxford Street replete in black leather, black stetson & jewelled walking stick, eating an apple. Hey kids, life can be grim but that doesn't mean you can't look after your health.
13) Forget Scott Walker, Morten Hagen is Pop's Ingmar Bergman - that ever difficult second album born of claustrophobic dark, lonely nights, with only the sound of the wind blowing off an icy fjord as company.unsurprisingly there's not a load of Ahas to be had!
Side 2
4) Trivia: The father of my Australian girl-friend was drummer in Olivia's first band. Now I wouldn't mind drumming with Olivia's back to me, especially then when she wore a mini!
5)Brit Glam bands always had the twat fucker with feminine pretensions - they provided the high voice and necessary madness - Mud's Auntie Nellie - and he looked like your Auntie Nellie who used to be Uncle Neil - wore feathery ear rings and something Penelope Keith as Margo In The Good Life would have cosseted.the rest of Mud looked like refugees from Auf Wiedersein Pet - garbed as Teddy Boys with fuck off collars..lead singer Les Gray employed a sub Elvis vocal while Auntie Nellie whelped like a man having a dildo inserted up his back passage. Essential
8)`You want the personal touch I can't be fucking bothered' Thank you Sid you talentless fucking junkie murderer!
9) Key moment 2:13 : ` Some people call it a one night stand / but we can call it paradise' and who wouldn't call Yasmin Le Bon paradise!
11) Sub Morrison drivel about sailing down The River Styx (yeah right)
12) Kylie, Britney, Christine..I love you all.I chose Britney coz vocally she's worse than Mud's Auntie Nelly.I know Britney's idea of R'n'Roll is not mine but if she wants me to put a coin in her jukebox I'm the Loose Change Meister!
13) Have to confess sometimes I like Mutya better than Keisha but Heidi looks cute on album three where as Keisha looks odd on album 3 but looks cute on the angels album but then again so does Mutya.
Pic taken in the 80's by my pal Shaun while in his flat Brighton...Met up with Shaun last weekend after 15 years which was great fun.
Feedback:
I too, have a thing for Abba. I thing I have 4 songs in my iPod.
The only Britney Spears song I list as a guilty pleasure is "Toxic".

With songs like that, you know it can't be bad.
I'll join the Abba bandwagon (SOS is a great song). Elvis, Sid, and Pavlov's Dog (!) are great picks, too. But wait a minute--the Beatles a guilty pleasure?
well I started a monster here ;)
nice stuff but some I really like without shame too ;)

Tricky one this..depends on how you view The Beatles as to whether or not you see them as guilty...I see very little difference between She Loves You and The Sugarbabes or Mud...Pop is pop...they're all pleasures to me..& perhaps I should have tiltled the mix Guilty Or Not...I'm gonna do that!
Kenny Rogers, Lightning Seeds & Andy Williams hold no shame pour moi Dom, fact is I like a whome load of the rest of this too.
loadsa fun
Guilty or not if you gotta pleasure yourself well...Where was I? (must've been the Britney comment)
Great fun.
Britney Spears ranked #253 on the AOTM 2004
Top 1000 artists.
Must be her voice.
Nice mix, Dom.

Yes, your comment about Elvis and Clambake is right--approximately. I try to watch that movie about once a year (talk about your guilty pleasures...)
LOL. Excellent stuff and great notes as well. Any mix including "The Bump" by Kenny (whose "Hot Lips" I prefer) and Mud's "Crazy" (you are aware of the fact that Aunt Nellie's the man behind Kylie's fabulous "Can't Get You out of My Head", aren't you?) can't possibly go wrong. But who the f*ck is Des Lee?
Yeah, I'm with you and Dead Man on the Beatles song--that's tremendous, IMHO. I also like your Sid pick, your ABBA pick (the only song I like by them, really), that Edison Lighthouse song, the First Edition song, and--despite all of my efforts to dislike it--the Doors tune.
wow, this thing is all over the place. i will gladly admit to liking that lightning seeds song. i don't have Rob's problems when it comes to disliking the Doors...
Well, I do like that Doors and Abba tunes. The Kenny Rogers too. Actually that Beatles song is sort of a guilty pleasure for those of us around at the time it first hit the airwaves and smothered popular culture. Especially when you had older sister and friends running around the house screaming the lyrics. I couldn't listen to that song for a long time.
I only know a few of these... I'm with you on the Edison Lighthouse - I've always loved that song , ABBA, and Haircut 100.
nice
"S.O.S." will always have a special place in my heart, being among the singles on constant rotation when I first discovered the radio in 1975/1976 (along with Bay City Rollers' "Saturday Night," Jigsaw's "Sky High," and of course the greatest song of all time, CW McCall's "Convoy"). I count myself among those who consider the Doors to be among the most overrated bands ever, but damn if the cd's don't sound so great that it's easy to overlook the banality of the lyrics. And if they reissue that Osmonds disc, I hope they also throw in Crazy Horses, the worst album I ever bought as a child and one I dearly miss.
Actually the Plan was reissued on CD, but is now out of print. Don't worry, you can still score a used copy on Amazon for only 33 dollars. Great mix BTW, not that I'd want to hear it or anything ;) Love the Mud and the Haircut (both the band and your 80s doo)
When it comes to music, no one should feel guilty about liking anything. The only exception to that rule is, of course, Tom Waits. If you like him, you should feel VERY VERY guilty. Kenny Rogers is fascinating.
wow! guilty as charged! I like the Andy Williams and the Cult. And of course the Beatles.
Kenny Rogers...ew! The Osmonds...ewww! Haircut One Hundred...ewwwww! Send me a copy please!!!
nicely done Dom, even if some of these hurt a little bit. ;)
Astounding mix, Dom!
