Elves The Fall. It may be a blatant Stooges rip off but it's great. | ||

Mark Eitzel - Proclaim Your Joy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pymsMhQ 280 Always liked this track...bit like a cousin (twice removed) of REM's "Its the End of the World..." !? | ||

Mauri Mines - Annalisa Hilarious but also rather nifty tune by a friend of a friend... the chorus basically goes: "Won't you give me a hand-job, Annalisa...oh c'mon, just a hand-job... and please don't say I'm vulgar..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsSmTh5y Ds8&feature=youtu.be | ||

"Dominick the Donkey" - I work in an office where it's being played. If you've never heard it, DO NOT try to find it - it's an insidious earworm of a song! | ||

Wednesday's Child - John Barry (I'm watching the 1966 film The Quiller Memorandum in which it features; great, understated Cold War thriller). | ||

Not a bad film, though Quiller has not been very well-served by either the big or small screens, what with two powder-puffs like George Segal - and a Yank to boot! - and Michael Jayston taking on the role, when what is needed is the hardest, coldest human killing machine you can imagine: Daniel Craig would have been perfect, in fact. A fine series of books, anyway, with some of the best-written action sequences in British spy-lit. | ||

I've read a lot of the Quiller books, a series which seems largely forgotten. Agree that Daniel Craig would have been good casting. Unkind description of Messrs Segal and Jayston! | ||

Both excellent actors in their own way, but hardly cut out to be rough and tumble action heroes. I think as a lad I moved on to Quiller from Bond, but had trouble at first with Adam Hall's dashes of narrative trickery and his agent's coldly analytical attitude towards his own physical reactions and the situations he found himself in. Later, of course, this made him seem all the more interesting. | ||

Trembling Blue Stars - Cold Colours Curses, who even knew there was a post-Field Mice era?? Many, doubtless, but not me. | ||

Alan Hull - One more bottle of wine My favourite Christmas song. | ||
| Stuart Wilson Member Username: Stuart Post Number: 1230 Registered: 10-2006 |
Alan Hull - A walk in the sea Hull, on form, was as good a songwriter as it gets and this is a gorgeous little sliver of melancholy, perfect for those seasonal moments when the drink is just wearing off, the clouds are coming over and the dog needs a walk on the beach... | ||
