I'd be surprised if there wasn't, but just compare the studio version of TC with how they do it live these days - big difference. Some of these songs could sprout legs and scamper off in all sorts of interesting directions when recorded properly. I could just see War On Drugs becoming utterly colossal with a great big f--- off string section added, for example.Karst wrote:IMHO the album needs a middle piece, pretty much along the lines of More, This Corrosion, Marian - to make it stand out. I'd say none of the above tracks really have it in them yet to carry that off. Then again, there might be something we haven't heard yet.
NEW ALBUM - SUGGESTIONS
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
Ee, I think there will be new songs. In fact, I shall again wheel out my one rather dull 'showbiz insider' moment, where Chris Startling told me that any new album is likely to feature more or less ***all*** new material. Gasp! This is both exciting (cool! new stuff!) and frustrating (when am I gonna get a recorded Suzanne and Crash and Burn?).
Did I tell anyone about the time when I went into a shoe shop only ten minutes after Sinead O'Connor had been in?

Floodlands a good album(except 1959) but its way to MIDI orientated and not enough guitars

You don't drive an ambulance for a living by any chance?
Actually, my friend was staying over at his brother's place once (his bro used to play guitar and wear a fetching underpants/fur coat combo in The Golden Horde) and she popped round to borrow a cup of sugar.

Now that's a much more interesting story. Okay, here's a better one. I have met Jeremy Paxman. More than once. He's very nice, though a bit of a one for the laydeeez. I was in Manchester, appearing on a certain student quiz show. He gave me beer, I was his friend.

All tits in their own way, one was good at being a tit, another wasn't, one just had a pair of 'em.

Opsss...Of Course I meant "UNTITLED"....what a mistake....
.....
As soon as he placed "Greatest Hits: Volume I" over the titled to "Slight Case of Overbombing", I knew it was over; though I was never quite sure if the joke was on us or on him.
It's right up there with the Circle Jerks naming their 5th Album "Circle Jerks VI".
Of the suggestions on this thread, I most prefer, "So Long and thanks for all the Drugs".
I've always thought he should do an album of cover tunes and call it "Pinups", but not include any Bowie covers.

Yes. And checkout if Paxman can play bass and Von's interested. Would help with the publicity.MrChris wrote:You know, you're right! Shall I copyright it?
Imagine the weeding: 'Another new song' and 'another new song' from the Newsnight sessions. Two copies, first to PM me.

now that would make interesting listening, but i reckon it would lay them open to such criticism ("lazy bastards", "has-beens", "re-hashing the same old crap", etc) that they wouldnt consider it for a second...Black Horizon wrote:Here's a good idea. How about they make it double album featuring a cd full off remakes of tracks, you know the new live version of certain songs:
Body Electric
Anaconda
Train / Detonation Boulevard
On The Wire / Teachers / On The Wire
Marian
First And Last And Always
Amphetamine Logic
Comfortably Numb / Some Kind Of Stranger
Giving Ground
Flood 1
Lucretia My Reflection
Doctor Jeep / Detonation Boulevard
I Was Wrong
Under The Gun
All those songs have been performed differently live, in recent years compared to the original album versions. It could be a good idea to re-record some of them in the ways they performed them live. What do you think? Or maybe if they can't do that, they could do them as b-sides.

Yep, new material please.
Although it'd be nice to hear studio versions of the re-hashed live stuff I'm guessing that apart from us folks here, there wouldn't be people queueing up to buy that.
Anyway, I reckon Trip The Light Fantastic is a better album name than a tour name, he should use that !

how about calling it "rise and reverberate"
it 'll be propably allready the title of a bootleg but hey..
that's what they need to do.. rise once again..so AE can (and we all know he likes to say it) shut everybody up..once again
maybe release some older unreleased songs from the mid 80's (studio version of suzanne, driver/candle, garden, red skies,...) to back up some newer stuff...(summer, romeo down,... in studio version)
and start thinking of some new stuff..there must be more instant classix in EA's head!!!he's proven it before!!and if not...he can always try a cover..i think all the covers they played were better than the originals (except for things you just don't do..e.g. gimme gimme gimme...)
IMHO: if the sisters would have released those 1000s of bootleg that are out there themselves...MR would have been an independant label and songs like summer would have been released as promissed...
