This is the best one-answer thread EVER.

Oh, no - I've ruined it.

well dude, now it can become the best two answer thread EVER!

Didn't those motherfuckers write musicals? I mean, exquisite song cycles are all well and to the good and that, but a musical has to have a plot, doesn't it? So what would be suitable plot for a Pinefox musical? I can think of quite a few suitable 'moments' - David Pleat jumping for joy, for example - but what about a coherent narrative, with a beginning, middle and huge fuck off finale?

so base the musical on the storylines in duran duran lyrics

A better question - who's in between? And is Sondheim really all that? Cole Porter, no doubt. Rodgers & Hart, for God's sake, YES! (Though I could really use a CD featuring good versions of their songs - Peggy Lee & Mel Torme just don't cut it.)

So, yeah - forgotten tunesmiths, and excellent albums. Get to it!

Bernstein. Berlin. Parker & Stone. Gershwin. Elvis Costello.

Please note the South Park mojo dojos sandwiched between "God Bless America" and "Rhapsody In Blue". I love it.

― David Raposa, Friday, 2 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Andy Partridge is better than Elvis Costello.

nine years pass...

basically if you're not at least somewhat in awe of Sondheim I may love you but I still think you kinda suck

note to self: before mom dies, tell her that she is forgiven for her Barry Manilow phase due to the fact that she also played "Side by Side by Sondheim" for me

― sarahel, Friday, 9 September 2011 00:01 (fourteen years ago)

I loved "Side by Side by Sondheim."

New production of Merrily We Roll Along is awesome.

i've been thinking about sweeney todd + debussy's nocturnes a lot lately

― Mordy , Friday, 15 November 2013 20:13 (eleven years ago)

also there's a bit near the beginning of no. 3 that sounds a lot like the part in Barcelona:

ROBERT:
You're just a very special girl,
June!

APRIL:
April.

ROBERT:
April.

APRIL:
Thank you.

Images: No. 2 Iberia: Par les rues et par les… too very reminiscent. acc to a bio:

When told by an admirer that his music sounded as thought influenced by Debussy, Sondheim responded, "It's Ravel more than Debussy." And indeed the cooler, more analytical Ravel does suit Sondheim more than does the warmer, more impressionistic Debussy (though he owned more Debussy than Ravel, in part because Debussy wrote more than Ravel).

S.S. loathed Gaga singing Rodgers & Hammerstein, and has a 36-yo bf who's gotten him into Radiohead. Oh well, 1-for-2.

No, not Radiohead. So tired of them being the lone hipster pop choice of classical, jazz and broadway snobs.
