Primavera Sound 28.-30.5.2009

Jako většinu tohodle sem napsal včera a předevčírem, takže to sem kydám před dnem 2. Ten bude až bude zas psavá nálada a naučim se na pondělní zkoušku ať nedopadnu jak ve středu (to vlastně nejde, jedině, že bych si do pondělka stihl koupit empétrojku, abych ji moh zas ztratit). Jiná tohle by mohlo být chvilkama i vtipný. Možná.

Vylez na palmu a dostaneš klávesy
Jako před samotným fesťákem byly ňáký koncerty v klubech, tak poslední den a vlastně i den potom přímo ve městě v parku byly ňáký koncerty. Jako dyž sem tam dorazil, tak tam zrovna hrála Alondra Bentley. Jako nic sem o tom neslyšel, ale byl to velmi příjemnej folčíček. Slečna nebo možná spíš paní vybrnákávala kyraru a v obležení dvou hochů hrající od basy, na harmoniku a banžo. A měla hezký hlas.

Pak hned vedle o pár palem dál to rozehrávali Ponytail, což je hrozně dobrá kapela. Jako jo, fakt jako jo. Myslím, že to, co permanentně vydávalo zvuky do mikrofonu typu ťá ťá (zbožňuju dyž někdo říká řádně infantilně ťá ťá), byla holka s kombinací příjemnýho post-rocku typu Don Caballero nebo Pivot. Kua, ty voe, to bylo fakt dobrý.

Pak sem si poslech Crystal Stilts, který sem asi po 15 minutách na stage Pitchfork odzíval, i dyž Veronika Má měla jiný názor, ale tady to bylo docela fajn. Vůbec na stagi Pitchfork stál zvuk docela za prd. sice to bylo občas docela nahlas, ale upředňuju dobrý zvuk před šukáním beden. Sem asi hovno-ještěr. Možná to bylo i tím, že klávesák velmi připomínající někýho amíka, co žije v Praze a hraje na španělku a je to nezajmavý a já teď zapomněl jeho méno, byl očvidně posilněn alkoholem a měl očividně kecací náladu a mlel děsný blbosti. I dyž po tom, co navrhnul, že ten kdo vyleze na palmu, tak dostane jeho dle jeho slov šitový klávesy, tak jeden kluk hned se začal sápat k jednomu stromu. To se moc nepovedlo, ptože ten amík začal něco mlít nebo nevim, prostě nakonec lízt nezačal na tu palmu. Zklamáníčko. Sice slíbil (ožralý klávesák), že na konci setu udělají soutěž, kdo pvní vyleze na palmu, tak dostane klávesy, ale jaksi skutek utek. Nebo sem možná jen rychle přeběhl na Sleepy Sun, což teda je sedmdesátkovéj rock jak vyšitej. Prototypní hipíci (zpěvačka bez podprsenky, dlouhé vlasy, solující kytary, objímaní se s příchozími kamarády během psaní písniček apod.) ze slunné Kalifornie, kteří právě tam hráli svůj poslední set po tříměsíční štaci (nebo to aspoň říkali). A asi škoda, kdo nebyl na jejich koncertu v Praze (já tam teda taky nebyl), nebylo to vůbec špatný. Sice komu se tohle retro hnusí, tak to asi neocení. Vůbec tohle odpoledne v parku pod palmami bylo hrozně fajn.

Další "vtipný" nadpis
Kua, teď koukám do programu a vidím, že poslední den začínali na stagi ATP Ariel Pink's Haunted Grafitti. Sakra, to sem přehlíd. Ne všichni mají tu čest bejt šikovní.

No, Shearwater nezněli špatně, jako už ani nevim, čím mě zaujali, myslim, že používali docela zajmavý nástroje a já nevim, prostě v paměti je, že to bylo dobrý. Ale asi ne tolik jako Jesu. Jejich koncert v Akráči někdy dávno sem odzíval a příliš nechápal, co se na tom líbí lidem. Nepříliš úderné, nepříliš hutné, spíš taková zavalitá nuda. Tohle bylo o moc lepšejší. Sice myslim, že jim ten bubeník hodně chybí, ale zas myslim, že Justin Broadrick moc dobře ví, co dělá. Tohle příjemně překvapilo. Ty voe, já píšu děsně nudný nezajmavý kydy. Budu muset zrychlit...

Vim, že je hloupé hodnotit kapely podle 3minutového poslechu, ale stručně, jasně: Kitty, Daisy & Lewis nuda, Plants & Animals nuda, Th' Faith Healers nuda. Ještěže se blížil Neil Young.

Ne, opravdu nebubnuju v kapele s Jeremy Jay
Kolem půl desáté se netrpělivé obecenstvo konečně dočkalo, na podium vchází bělovlasý starý mládenec, se kterým si zajamovat je snem každého kytaristy. Neil Young, 63letá legenda, která je známá zejména z kapel jako Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young či Crazy Horse nebo z filmů jeho kamaráda Jima Jarmusche. Jarmusch natočil dokumet o jeho kapele Crazy Horse a sám Young dělal hudbu k filmu Dead Man. Avšak zde na festivalu Primavera Sound vystoupil sólově s šestičlennou doprovodnou kapelou pod názvem Neil Young & His Electric Band.

Už hned s prvními tóny Mansion On The Hill z alba Ragged Glory dává tušit komu dnes večer patří. Tóny elektrické kytary eklekticky elektizují uhranuté osazenstvo a s následující Hey Hey, My My už zpívá celý 20ti tisícový dav. Neil nedává vůbec znát již pokročilý věk a hbitě střídá jednotlivé hudební nástroje, na kterých ukazuje své skilly v podobě nekončících kytarových sól. Ve třetí Are there any more real cowboys dokonce usedá k pianu, čímž dokazuje všem přítomným, s jakým že to multiinstrumentalistou mají čest. Neil poskádal svůj setlist průřezem ze všech jeho alb včetně letošního zdařilého Fork In The Road, z kterého zazněla rozevlátá Get Behind The Wheel. Young nezapomněl zahrát všechny své nejdůležitější hity včetně Heart of Gold, z asi jeho nejznámějšího alba Harvest, jediné jeho písni se kterou se dostal až na samotný vrchol amerického singlového žebříčku. Základní část vystoupení ukončuje politickou Rockin' in the Free World a jako přídavek plně spokojené publikum konejší A Day In The Life. Po sto odehraných minutách nebylo pochyb komu letošní festival patřil!

Asi po deseti minutách poslechu a odšrtknutí si kolonky "viděl sem Neila Younga" odcházím si prohlídnout místní merch. U jednoho stánku dostávám otázku, jestli sem dnes nebubnoval s Jeremy Jayem. Ne, opravdu nebubnuju v kapele s Jeremy Jayem a ani sem ho na Primaveře neslyšel. Kolik lidí se mě ještě na to zeptá?

Takový slušný standardní standard
Taky si myslíte, že Oneida je zajmavější než Neil Young? Já o tom nepochybuju a myslim, že sem zvolil správně. Oneida zahráli jednu písničku. Nebo možná víc písniček bez pauz. Musim si to naposlouchat, protože tohle bylo mocky dobroučké. Takovej postročíček, ale ne nudnej postročík. A bubeník je moc šikovnej hošík, terý do toho umí bubnovat. Oneida taky ví, kdy skončit, takže se člověk ve správnou dobu přesouvá na Liars. (před chvíli sem zjistil, že Oneida s Liars vydali splitíček)

Jako čekat od Liars, že budou permatnentně na jiné planetě a vydávat mimoidní věci jako They Were Wrong, So We Drowned nebo Drum's Not Dead by asi bylo pošetilé. Už posledním albem dali najevo, že se vrátili zpět na Zemi. Teda, že by exibicionista Agnus Andrew přestal dělat píčoviny by bylo odvážné tvrzení, ale oproti mé první zkušenosti s nimi na Sedmičce, to byl takový normální koncert. Jeho pohyby byly motorické, kus hadru přes levý loket opadl a konzumoval vodu (!). Spíš si člověk případal, že vidí zdařilou show jednoho ne zrovna normálního chlápka a již nebyl cítit pomatený sjetý večírek jako z doby památného koncertu na Sedmičce z roku 2004. Jinak zahráli myslim ze všech alb, po jedný písničce z prvních dvou alb a hlavně hráli z toho novýho.

Očekávat od Sonic Youth mi přijde poněkud pošetilé. Na to sou moc staří a hrají spolu moc dlouho. Jejich poslendí deska je povedená a tak nic nebránilo tomu aby to byl špatnej koncert. Já nevim, co říct, buď ste na nich byli v Praze (dle mě tohle byl lepší koncert, díky setlistu) nebo se podívejte na net. Víc nečejte, míň taky ne. Jako, já ně furt nečučel, ale myslim, že žádné vypády do podia nebyly, stejně jako nějaké sběsilé útoky na ušní bubínky (od toho tam byly jiný kapely). Tím nechci ale říct, že by to nenudilo. Prostě slušnej standard.

"A opravdu si seš jistej, žes nebyl na Gay Parade?"
ptá se mě kamarád Jan eS v hospodě, poté co mu popisuju koncert Black Lips. Jako od koncertu sem nic moc nečekal. Jejich very-easy-listening muzika mi nepřijde jako zlá, ale že by to mělo být něco, po čem kuci touží, alespoň pro mě ne. Ale velký podíl rozjuchaných kuků a holek by mi tvrdilo asi něco jiného. Vlastně hlavní důvod proč jít na Black Lips byl, že onehdá, dyž hráli na Sedmičce, tak krom toho, že basák má oblibu ve zlatých zubech, tak jedna z prvních věcí, co kytaristu napadla, dyž zřel nízký strop, že se na něj dá flusnout kemr a pak s otevřenou pusou čekat až se ze stropů uráčí navrátit zpět o úst. Nemůžu si pomoct, ale tohle je jedna z nejvtipnějších věcí, které sem na podiu Sedmičky viděl a očekával sem od těchto kokůtků aspoň nějakou zábavu.

Očividně alkoholem posilnění Black Lips nejsou žádná zklamáníčka. "Wanna whisky?" prázdná flaška letí z podia, přičemž se vylejvaj poslední kapky chutného alkoholického nápoje. Ukelele nebo co to bylo na sebe nedává dlouho čekat. Jenom ho basák chtěl před letem rozflákat, ale zrovna neměl svou chvilku anebo nebyl dostatečně šikovný, takže letělo celistvé v kusech zvuku. (Hele hádánka, co uděláte, když omylem zakopnete o odposlech, spadnete a kamarád to ocení tak, že si vám sedne na hlavu? No, přece mu dáte francouzáka, ne.) Hudebně to bylo takový la-la-la rozjucháný, neurazilo to, takže pravděpobně pro ty, co jejich muziku řádně neocení, koncert graduje, že si kytarista sundá kalhoty a všem dává a obdiv svého (ano velkého) kokůtka, příčemž následně se vrhá do skandujích lidí (pro některé bohužel již s kalhotami zapnutými), přičemž ho následuje basák, avšak řádně s rozběhem a po kolenou do lidí. Ty voe, jako chápu, že ty lidi nemohli uhnout, na to jich bylo moc, ale že se nepropad mi stále nějak vrtá hlavou.

A to mi možná ještě něco uniklo, poněvadž předem mnou ležela jakási totálně vožralá španělka sympatického vzhledu, která mávala rukama a nohama, přičemž dávala na obdiv své kalhotky černé barvy, což mé oči hodnotily velice vřele a chvílema mé tělo propadalo delimatům, kam zrovna směrovat své oční bulvy.

Vůbec v danou dobu bylo kolem mnoho klukůchtivých kuků. (někdo s knírkem: Hi, how are you? skiwichu: Fine, thanks. někdo s knírkem: What are you lookin' for? skiwichu: Sorry.) Naštěstí za chvíli potkávám Yardu Pé a čekáme na chlapecké duo Zombie Zombie. Prej je ty koxo lepší než Fuck Buttons, což teda s tímto názorem se tedy ani trochu neztotožňuji, ale bylo to dobrý. Zombie Zombie sou dva relativně hodně ošklivý kuci; bubeník a obloženec v klávesách a syntezátorech, u kterých je znát inspirace klautrockovými kapelami. Je to hodně gej muzika, přičemž v publiku mi přišlo, že tak půlka lidí sou klucichtíví kuci, kteří občas za ručičku někam odešli. Chvíli přemýšlim, zda stylově nezačít líbat vedle stojícího Yardu Pé, avšak usuzují, že by tento trendy intelektuální vtip nepochopil a já bych měl o kamaráda méně. Bohužel v 5:15 nekompromisně organizátoři koncert utínají a tím i končí tenhle 3denní hudební maraton. Jako dárek dostávám od již zmiňovaného Yardy Pé mikinu zelené barvy, asi jako ocenění, že sem svého kamaráda nezulíbal a vodjiždíme ranním metrem (každý sám) spát.

Ce qui devait être au départ un top 100 précis est en vérité une agrégation de chansons qu'il me plaît d'écouter, avec un vague ordre plus ou moins précis. L'opération est d'ailleurs compliquée par le fait que pour certaines chansons, j'ai choisi des versions bien précises qui perdent de tout leur charme interprétées d'une autre façon voire par un autre artiste.
Enfin bref, enjoy !

I wrote a journal about Theme Time Radio Hour With Your Host Bob Dylan not that long ago with the themes Coffee and Dogs which both were season one episodes. Coffee episode was one of the first being episode 5 which was first aired on May 31, 2006 and Dogs was episode 16 first aired on August 16, 2006. Season one had 50 episodes but we are up to season 3. With the theme episode Goodbye on April 15, 2009 which was the 100th original episode. It is unknown whether Theme Time Radio Hour will continue into a Season 4 but Dylan himself, during an interview with Rolling Stone magazine implied that his contract had ended. No official announcement about the show's future has been made at this time.

The new Bob Dylan album Together Through Life which is a cool album. I might have to listen a few more times. The bonus disc is the Friends & Neighbors episode but you can hear the Theme Time Radio Hour songs rubbing off on his new songs. I hope they official released all 100 episodes (somewhere or sometime). It's really great listening to Bob talk away about well, whatever the hell he wants too.

I'm going back to season 2 with the episode 71 and 72 Birds and More Birds shows. In the previous journal I wrote "I wish he would do Flying or Birds show" and he has on March 5, 2008 and March 12, 2008. I'm going to link all the songs here on last.fm that Bob plays on these shows.

yeah I know you don't care, but I enjoyed filling it in

1. How did you get into no.29?
Love: Started with ‘Da Capo’ and it's still my favourite.

2. What's the first song you ever heard by no.22?
Joanna Newsom - ‘The Book of Right-On’ (from ‘Milk Eyed Mender’): A poster on a forum I frequent uploaded this track at the end of review he had written for her debut. I listened to this one track about 20 times and then bought ‘Ys’ - One of my favourite albums of all time.

3. Whats your favourite lyric by no.33?
Frank Zappa & Captain Beefheart: "She put a Doobie Brothers tape on/ I had a Roger Daltry cape on" (‘Carolina Hard-Core Ecstasy’ from ‘Bongo Fury’)

4. How did you get into no.49?
Nick Drake: Someone on Last.fm said I would like him. I did.

5. How many albums by no.13 do you own?
The Smiths: Self Titled, 'Meat Is Murder', 'The Queen Is Dead', 'Strangeways, Here We Come' and 'Louder Than Bombs' (5)

6. What is your favorite song by no.50?
Harry Nilsson – ‘think about your troubles’ (from ‘The Point!’): Poetic lyrics and a lovely, winding tune that fits the meandering story of Oblio’s adventure. Simple but beautifully so (#6 and I’ve already used the word ‘beautiful’).

7. Is there a song by no.7 that makes you sad?
The Band– ‘Katie’s Been Gone’ (from ‘The Band [Bonus Tracks]’ and ‘The Basement Tapes’): There’s a genuine-sounding longing in Robertson’s voice, especially in the line “well I don’t know how things are with us”.

8. What is your favorite song by no.15?
Big Star – ‘Thank You, Friends’ (from ‘Third/ Sister Lovers’): I don’t care if it’s sarcastic, it cheers me up.

9. What is your favorite song by no.5?
Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band - ‘White Jam’ (from ‘The Spotlight Kid’): The perfect Cap’n track. The surrealistic lyrical imagery and that strangely sinister, undistorted riff (especially on the intro) is superb, and his inimitable, strangulated singing voice is one of his best vocal performances.

10. Is there a song by no.6 that makes you happy?
David Bowie: actually, all my favourite Bowie tracks are the serious or slightly sinister ones (‘Time’ from ‘Aladdin Sane’, ‘Station to Station’ from ‘Station to Station’, ‘Be My Wife’ from ‘Low’…), but I suppose ‘Oh! You Pretty Things’ (from 'Hunkey Dory') would a jolly track I really love.

11. What is the worst song by no.40?
The Strokes: ‘On the Other Side’ (from ‘First Impressions of Earth’). It’s alright for the intro. It’s ruined by the silly, sing-song melody and the chorus is atrocious.

12. What is your favorite song by no.10?
Donald Fagen – ‘I.G.Y.’ (from ‘The Nightfly’). It’s just brilliant. Brilliant lyrics, brilliant mood, brilliant hook, brilliant vocal delivery and a brilliant, timeless production sound. On first listen you can’t get that horn riff out of your head, and you think that it must be simply a catchy, gimmicky tune, but I’ve played that track and that album dozens of times and it still sounds soulful and fresh.

13. What is a good memory you have involving no.30?
John Lennon: pass

14. What is your favorite song by no.38?
Fleetwood Mac – ‘The Green Manalishi’: The song is dark - Green’s voice is so dirty and threatening, and those open-string chords really tear at you; the whole thing sounds so timeless, as well. I like to listen to music to reflect my mood so this is a good one to play when I’m seething with hate (which isn’t frequently).

15. Is there a song by no.19 that makes you happy?
Ry Cooder – ‘I Got Mine’ (from ‘Chicken Skin Music’): Listen to that brass! It’s impossible to suppress a smile while listening to it, even though the lyrics are pretty bleak.

16. Is there a song by no.25 that makes you sad?
R.E.M. – ‘Try Not to Breathe’ (from ‘Automatic For The People’): a kind of contemplative sadness, though.

17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23?
Marvin Gaye – ‘What’s Going On’, probably, or maybe ‘Heard It Through The Grapevine’ on the radio some time. A bit of a waste of an artist, that question.

18. What's your favorite lyric by no.11?
Joni Mitchell: “when there’s so much laughter, when there’s so much spark…when there’s so much sweetness in the dark” (‘Car on a Hill’ from ‘Court And Spark’). If you’ve heard her delivery you’d know why.

19. Who is a favorite member of no.1?
Way to waste my chance to self-indulgently write a paragraph on Steely Dan! Can’t I answer this one as ‘What’s Your Favourite Album of no. 1?’ I can? Okay, cool: http://www.last.fm/user/Crustclock/journal/2009/03/19/2kt9b9_steely_dan_-_katy_lied._my_review.

20. Is there a song by no.14 that makes you happy?
Electric Light Orchestra – ‘Above the Clouds’ (from ‘A New World Record’): forget your pop prejudices and just listen to that vocal melody. How it deepens at “but it’s alright with me/ you better believe me now” really moves me somehow. That 4/4 beat on the piano is what sells it, though.

21. What is a good memory involving no.27?
The Ramones: pass (I don’t have no good memories… I just don’t tie songs to them)

22. What is your favorite song by no.16?
Randy Newman – ‘Jolly Coppers on Parade’ (from ‘Little Criminals’): love the tastefully restrained guitar licks and generally the upbeat mood.

23. What is the first song you ever heard by no.47?
Little Feat: pass

24. What is your favorite album by no.18?
The Who – ‘Quadrophenia’: solid songs throughout, minimal pomposity and a diverse sound thanks to Entwhistle’s horn.

25. What is your favorite song by no.21?
The Doors– ‘Yes, the River Knows’ (from ‘Waiting For The Sun’): richly diverse and winding, musically, and contains both a beautiful (there it is a again) vocal melody and jazz-inflected piano part.

26. What is the first song you ever heard by no.28?
Led Zeppelin: …’Stairway to Heaven’. I dunno. Stop asking this.

27. What is your favorite album by no.3?
Neil Young – ‘Tonight’s The Night’. One of my favourite albums of all time. If ever proof be needed that great art is borne from despair then this is all the proof needed. Dark and apocalyptic, but with brighter ‘moments of clarity’, to use that hoary old cliché, in amongst the tequila-fuelled, raggedy-edged melancholy.

28. What is you favorite song by no.2?
The Beach Boys – ‘Til I Die’ (from ‘Surf’s Up’): The lyrics are like the child-like Brian asking the world why life as an adult it is not what he was promised as a child. He cannot comprehend why life is so small and cannot come to terms with the insignificance of a human life. I think everybody feels, at one point or another, like a cork in the ocean, a leaf on a windy day, a rock in a landslide. It’s The Beach Boys at their most profound and moving.

29. What was the first song you ever heard by no.32?
Beck: I was introduced to him by the relatively conventional and folky LP, ‘Mutations’, which remains my favourite.

30. What is you favorite song by no.8?
Van Morrison – ‘Fair Play’ (from ‘Veedon Fleece’): divine music. It really defies all categorization. …The sincerity of his voice and that gentle piano part are incredibly moving… great lyrics, too (whatever they mean)

31. How many times have you seen no.31 live?
Django Reinhardt & Stephané Grappelli: Oh, too many to count.

32. Is there a song by no.44 that makes you happy?
Jethro Tull – ‘Songs From the Wood’ – The A Capella first section always cheers me up.

33. How did you get into no.12?
Frank Zappa: My father had a copy of ‘Hot Rats’, one of his best and most accessible records. Still haven’t found any instrumental works to rival it in it repertoire.

34. What is the worst song by no.45?
Brian Wilson: the EP that came attached to the Beach Boys’ ‘Holland’ is kind of like one long, tedious song. Never liked that thing.

35. What was the first song you ever heard by no.34?
Jackson C. Frank – ‘I Want to Be Alone (dialogue)’ (from the self-titled album): someone told me to listen to this one track and I was hooked.

36. What was the first song you ever heard by no.48?
Jeff Buckley – ‘Hallelujah’: I still think it’s the best version I’ve heard, but I don’t like that song anymore, played by anyone.

37. How many times have you seen no.42 live?
Journey: was it 3 or 4 times?... I think it was 3… oh wait. No. It was none. None times.

38. What is you favorite song by no.36?
Lou Reed – ‘Sad Song’ (from ‘Berlin’): one of my all-time favourite songs from a fantastic album. The operatic nature avoids pomposity by the strength of the of the song-writing. The brass and strings give a real bombastic and stirring finality to the album, and gives Lou’s tender voice a confident backing. What I love the most about the track are the electrifying lead guitar breaks preceding the choruses.

39. What was the first song you ever heard by no.26?
The Jimi Hendrix Experience – ‘Purple Haze’ (from ‘Are You Experienced’): when I was 14 this was the best music I had ever heard.

40. What is you favorite album by no.39?
Fotheringay – ‘Fotheringay’: They only made one proper album, but what a fucking album. Best folk record I’ve heard.

41. Is there a song by no.17 that makes you happy?
Tom Waits – ‘Saving All My Love for You’ (from ‘Heartattack and Vine’): It’s just an incredibly moving (3rd outing for that adjective) song. I don’t know what I can say about Waits without sounding like a crap journalist… y’know – his world-worn voice, the simple, lonely piano chords and the gentle, underlying strings… it conjures an immersive mood and scene, and the lyrics are incredibly touching.

42. What is your favorite album by no.41?
Kate Bush – ‘The Kick Inside’: her voice is heavenly, and the LP has a perfect balance between Joni Mitchell-esque, introspective numbers and stomping (ugh, sorry), upbeat tunes.

43. What is your favorite song by no.24?
Hall & Oates – ‘Had I Known You Better Then’ (from ‘Abandoned Luncheonette’): I don’t like the term ‘blue-eyed soul’. This sounds soulful enough to me.

44. What is a good memory you have involving no.46?
Dexys Midnight Runners: pass

45. What is your favorite song by no.35?
Devo – ‘Beautiful World’ (from ‘New Traditionalists’): a simple but solid synth tune, perfectly paired with Mothersbaugh’s delightfully declarative delivery of the sardonic lyrics.

46. Is there a song by no.9 that makes you happy?
The Beatles: a tough one… probably 'Got to Get You Into My Life' (from ‘Revolver’). Self-explanatory, really.

47. What is your favorite album by no.4?
Todd Rundgren – ‘Todd’. A superb album which is frustratingly dismissed, not only by critics, but by most Runt fans. The double album features not only his best instrumentals (‘Sidewalk Café’, ‘The Spark of Life’), good-humored, jaunty tunes (such as the bizarre ‘An Elpee’s Worth of Toons’) and some of his best powerpop ballads (‘A Dream Goes on Forever’, ‘Izzat Love?’), but the beautiful (sorry), rousing epic, ‘The Last Ride’ – one of his most powerful, emotional songs, which also features some wonderful lead guitar on the outro.

48. Who is your favorite member of no.37?
Buffalo Springfield: Neil Young, the loveable, whiney voiced, canadian chimpanzee.

49. What is the first song you ever heard by no.43?
Blur: ‘Coffee & TV’ (from ‘13’) was the first one I really loved when I heard it.

50. What is your favorite song by no.20?
Bruce Springsteen – ‘Jungleland’ (from ‘Born to Run’): you listen to this song, you feel on top of the world and you see that you’re only 3 minutes in; it has more peaks than [insert mountainous region here].

So…

4 ‘beautiful’s,
3 ‘incredibly’s,
3 ‘moving’s
and 6 ‘love’s, ‘lovely’s and similar. Still, at least I didn’t use the word ‘sublime’… oh wait…

If you made it this far, well done, and thank you

- Liam
