The Subtitler prefers the Seven Ways To Love song to that Anthrax/Public Enemy wordfest

This Kim Appleby song was co-written by Ken from Bros, apparently

It actually worked and Scott Ian got away with his segment because of his heavy NY accent. Chuck D would never have agreed if it was sub par - it's the Nu Metal rap that came 10 years later it almost tarnishes the idea.

Ooh Gary Davies fat-shaming Heavy D :(

5.0 should be incorporated in to the Hall of American Culture it's so bad - just to keep some balance.

I predict a few more weeks for Jason at number one, pop-pickers? :)

dasdog

Bah - is there anything to be said for cancelling the schedule an putting on some more Oscar Peterson, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie and Count Basie as was done this time last week? Off to the football I go.

For me, early autumn 1991 was spent counting down the days until the release of the second album from a little-known band who had graced our shores a month before, with me in attendance

Finally, sad news about Sean Lock this week, lots of his great clips doing the rounds but here's his vastly improved version of the Countdown Music

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzmjTE_qW8w

Conqueror

I know it's not that, but when I hear the start of that alternative Countdown music, I hear "As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains, I saw Captain Farrell. And his money he was countin'"

Nothing to do with today being Phil Lynott's birthday, I assure you.

Nubya Garcia putting in a stellar performance at the BBC Proms. That London really is going through a golden jazz age at the moment.

I'm enjoying The Great Film Composers on Sky Arts - airs Thursdays at 8pm.

Apparently, the studio were holding up release of High Noon as they weren't sure about it.

Composer Dimitri Tiomkin released the theme song "Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darling" as a single and it became a hit, drumming up interest in the film and "has been credited with saving the movie"
