the public eating of beans (Sparkle Motion), Wednesday, 29 January 2020 15:45 (five years ago)

wailing souls cover reminds me when my wife and i were looking to get some hay bales for a halloween party. her country-fried coworker says "you don't want hay you want straw-hay. hay-hay's got chopped up snakes and shit in there." i think of this at least a few times a year.

andrew m., Wednesday, 29 January 2020 15:48 (five years ago)

the lesson: ask for straw hay, people.

I'm very anxious about getting The Surfers double bass back to shore without salt water damage.

My computer might explode if I open all messages but was it this thread that had a big exploration of "Many Moods Of..." albums?

^ Albums covers that depict the artists hanging out with their clones?

At the last minute, the art director got worried this wasn't obvious enough, so added some Bound Hands for contrast.

Chris Rea, "God's Great Banana Skin"

Has this ever been posted here?

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/42/Beatles_-_Abbey_Road.jpg

It just hit me that this "iconic" album title and cover is actually horribly unimaginative, literally named after the fucking recording studio and the cover is just them walking on a road. It's not far off from calling a song "Untitled Original." Still one of my favorite records of all time.

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Monday, 30 November 2020 06:11 (four years ago)

In 1970, the studio was renamed from EMI in honour of the group's 1969 album Abbey Road.

could have counted if they had dressed up as monks

Running up that hill but fleeting (a deal with Gop) (breastcrawl), Monday, 30 November 2020 06:58 (four years ago)

Is "God's great banana skin" some known expression/metaphor that I'm just not familiar with, or did Rea come up with it himself? What does it even mean?

Tuomas, Monday, 30 November 2020 07:54 (four years ago)

Ah, it's explained at the Wiki page for the title song:

Rea was inspired to write the song after he noticed his daughter was tempted to laugh at "somebody who'd been giving her a hard time". Rea told John Pidgeon in 1992: "I told her 'don't laugh when people go down even if they've been awful to you because you're tempting God to throw you a banana skin'. It's half moral and half superstition. Anybody who's done me a disservice in life, and I see them go down, you get tempted to laugh. I don't know whether it's superstition or not, or I daren't laugh just in case God throws me a banana skin as well."

Tuomas, Monday, 30 November 2020 07:56 (four years ago)

xp ok whatever named after the road the studio is on, still extremely uninspired

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Tuesday, 1 December 2020 06:30 (four years ago)

it had no weighted meaning to anyone else before they named the album that though!

huge rant (sic), Tuesday, 1 December 2020 08:51 (four years ago)

That banana skin just doesn't seem that great imho.
