what song is that from

so far so good. Only two left

6.

Start your journey early or maybe later
get your boots on

Look for rainbows
it's cloudy

Take your hairdryer
blow them all away.


7.

There is history in this place
There are dragons to be chased
And though I don't know who you are
An easy flow and a strong, a strong heart

1. Small faces - Lazy sunday afternoon cassandrova
2. The hollies - Carrie Anne RM
3. Al Stewart - On the border cassandrova
4. CCR - Have You Ever Seen The Rain RM
5. Traci Chapman - Fast Car RM
6. King - Love and pride
7. Sebadoh - Skull
8. Weezer - Buddy Holly RM


That concludes my set.

I thought that number 7 was the hardest one to get when I posted this set. Sebadoh was formed in Westfield, Massachusetts by former Dinosaur Jr. bass player Lou Barlow.

Been a while since we had a new challenge, so I'm gonna step up to the plate...

I make no apologies for this being another progtastic trip back to the Seventies. Tried to put a few toughies in here to sort out the men from the boys, as they say.

So without further ado...

1) Caught the chaos in the market square
I don't know what, I don't know why, but something's wrong down there
Their bodies twistin' and turnin' in a thousand ways
The eyes all rollin' round and round into a distant gaze

2) I just don't care to see your years go wasting
There's no longer magic in your eyes

3) No computer stands in my way
Only blood can cancel my pain
Guardians of a new clear dawn
Let the maps of war be drawn

4) Gazing at people, some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going through they can't understand

5) All alone and all together
Every day, come what may
By the time we find each other
We can live, we can die
And nothing stops the river as it flows by

6) In my town, there is a raincoat under a tree
In the sky, there is a cloud containing the sea
In the sea, there is a whale without any eyes
In the whale, there is a man without his raincoat

7) There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

8 ) Home from work our Juliet
Clears her morning meal
She dabs her skin with pretty smells
Concealing to appeal

9) California tumbles into the sea
That'll be the day I go
Back to Annandale

10) My sun shall rise in the east
So shall my heart be at peace
And if you're asking me when
I'll say it starts at the end

Some nice ones there cassandrova I'll have a go....

1. Peter Gabriel - Moribund the burgermeister
4. Moody blues - Nights in white satin
7. Pink Floyd - Comfortably numb
8. Genesis - The Cinema Show
10. Jon and Vangelis - I'll find my way home

5 out of 5 for the frenzied fowl!

Good work!

Any more takers for the other 5?

6 - Brian Eno - Mother Whale Eyeless

9 - Steely Dan - My Old School

Just thought I would drop by and say high to all, and post some videos.

I have a week off before uni starts on the 19th so I can afford to play around a bit, thanks guys for keeping this thread going. Cass and Chook your looking well. I see RM is ramblin again.

Dang, thought the Eno track would be the killer.

Good to see you Sir D. Good luck with uni.

So, three to go...

AY CARAMBA That's an unexpected plesure. Good to see you again sir_d

Hey, aren't you supposed to be out buying textbooks or something? Or maybe downloading some Coldplay Rin... SD? Heh heh, good to see you here Darkstar ... you CSN song-title you ... Darkity-Dark, the Aged One ... the Eighth Wonder of the World ...

Sorry I've been away, and I only have a moment before I have to go get some freakin' sleep ... but I had to post something here, and grab a certain song from Cass's set (can't believe CC or SD didn't grab it, and its a shame that GNOME doesn't poke his furry little face in here any more, he's a huge fan of that band). In fact I'll grab 2 and make an ash of myself.

2. Persephone - Wishbone Ash. Really different sorta stuff for them, nice ballad. Not a big band in the US, by the way.

3. Karn Evil #9 3rd impression - ELP. From Brain Salad Surgery, ohhhh yeahhhhh. You knew I'd get this one Cass, but still, you turn me on. Of course many people just have the greatest hits or whatever so they only get the famous second part of the "1st" impression. They're misssing an awesome, awesome album. Funny ... though I'm not a Brit, I really love their version of Jerusalem. "And did those feet in ancient times ..."

Okay Cass, sit down and stop singing now. And stop making up words, by the way! Prog-what?

Quick quiz for you Cass:
1. Where did the name "Brain Salad Surgery" come from?
2. While Greg Lake came from King Crimson, from what bands did Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer come from?

Wow, the Squalid Squab got 5 of them, good on ya CC. Couple were easy -- shit I could do a one-man show of The Wall -- but a couple certainly were NOT. Yikes. I would not have gotten #1 or #10.

RM

p.s. no clue on #5...

SIR

AN ANSWER TO YOUR Q.
1) I'LL LEAVE UP TO YOU HERE!
2) THE NICE

To answer RM...

Brain Salad Surgery was a term coined (I think) by Dr John. Incidentally, it's one of the those weird occasions when a song doesn't feature on the album which bears it title - the song Brain Salad Surgery is on the Works Vol 2 album (two others: Houses of the Holy by Led Zep, where the song actually appears on Physical Grafitti, and Waiting for the Sun by the Doors, where the song appears on Morrison Hotel/Hard Rock Cafe)

And to fully answer the second question...

Greg Lake came from The Godz and the mighty King Crimson.

Keef came from The Nice, who were formerly PP Arnold's backing band.

Carl Palmer came from the Crazy World of Arthur Brown and Atomic Rooster.

Did I do good?

Sooooooooo, any takers for the last song?

Ohhh, man, I heard y'all wuz talking about ELP, so I had to stop by! Top 5 all-time favo(u)rites for me, no doubt. I had the awesome pleasure of meeting Keith & Carl in a small club out on L.I. when they were touring as 3, and they were really cool! They always got tagged as pretentious by the press, but they were so down to earth. Funny story that I may have told: at the end of the show (in a tiny club that was so small, Carl was flipping the stix behind his back during his solo, and they hit the ceiling - he started soloing off the ceiling! ), I waited for the roadie to break down Carl's kit, and I offered him $20 a stick, and got `em... At their tour bus, I asked Carl to sign them, and he looked at me funny, and asked where I got them. I told him, and he had a strange look in his eye... The next year, he was selling his sticks on his website. I should get some kinda cut for the idea!

I also got to meet Carl a few more times at drum clinics, and he was totally cool. Very personable. My brother's then girlfriend had a crush on Carl, and she wore the lowest cut blouse to show the immense ta-tas she had. She took a picture with him, and her bad boys - funny as hell picture! The next time we saw him, she showed him the picture, and he was a little weirded out by it...she gnow hates him!

Those are great stories.

The only member of ELP I ever met was Greg Lake. When King Crimson released their Epitaph boxed set of early concert material they had a special playback at a hotel in London for members of the KC Collector's Club. All the original members of the band - Bob Fripp, Greg Lake, Pete Sinfield, Ian McDonald, Peter and Michael Giles - came along, along with a few later members like John Wetton. As you probably know, Greg Lake has blimped out in recent years. He was wearing a bright scarlet jacket and looked a bit like a big red balloon.

Emerson toured the UK a couple of years back with The Nice. To be honest, The Nice sucked except when it was Emerson dong things like Rondo and America. But the concert picked up after the interval when Emerson sent the rest of The Nice to the bar and came back onstage with a new band of young guys and they hammered through a number of ELP classics like Tarkus.

El pollo_loco has another set for ya...

1.

Drop your silver in my tambourine
Help a poor man fill his pretty dream
Give me pennies I'll take anything

2.

Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons evrywhere
Ive looked at clouds that way

3.

As I walk along I wonder a-what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on, I think of the things we've done
Together, a-while our hearts were young

4.

She sits alone waiting for suggestions
He's so nervous avoiding all the questions
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking

5.

Take a dream on a Sunday
Take a life, take a holiday
Take a lie, take a dreamer
dream, dream, dream, dream, dream along...

6.

So you think I got an evil mind
I'll tell you honey
I don't know why
I don't know why
So you think my singin's out of time
It makes me money
I don't know why
I don't know why, anymore. oh no

7.

Don't worry about a thing
'Cause ev'ry little thing gonna be alright
Singin', "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause ev'ry little thing gonna be alright."

8.

In my imagination
There is no complication
I dream about you all the time
In my mind a celebration
The sweetest of sensation
Thinking you could be mine

9.

When I'm called off, I got a sawed off
Squeeze the trigger, and bodies are hauled off
You too, boy, if ya fuck with me
The police are gonna hafta come and get me
Off yo ass, that's how I'm goin out
For the punk motherfuckers that's showin out

10.

If I walk down this hallway, tonight,
It's too quiet,
So I Pad through the dark
and call you on the phone
Push your old numbers
and let your house ring

11.

Spitting in a wishing well
Blown to hell crash
I'm the last splash

12.

Well, I tried to tell you so (Yes, I did)
But I guess you didn't know, as the saddest story goes
Baby, now I got the flow cause I knew it from the start
Baby, when you broke my heart that I had to come again
And show you that I'm with


good luck!!!

#2 Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now

I have to admit, I remembered the lyrics and could sing it in my head, but I had to google to remember who it was. So do I get partial credit?
