Nazareth - Close Enough For Rock'N'Roll

"Rise and Shine," the train one, just gets better the more I look at it.

banal phrase + vaguely 'clever', ironic representation of the above + ambience of good-natured frolicsome sauciness was the litmus test I was trying to apply

Bunk Dogger - First Offence

sorry, hammering the hipgnosis a bit here

john wahey (NickB), Thursday, 23 October 2014 22:05 (eleven years ago)

nah, you're killing it today IMO!

Listening to Dr. Hook's hits now. I knew the (sublime) "When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman" but there's some other good stuff... "You Make My Pants Wanna Get Up And Dance" is exactly the kind of good-times middling hit (or non-hit) that I expect to find anchoring one of these albums.

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 23 October 2014 22:09 (eleven years ago)

man bunk dogger that one is amazing

u2 removal machine (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 23 October 2014 22:12 (eleven years ago)

what does "bunk dogger" mean, is that UK slang?

u2 removal machine (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 23 October 2014 22:12 (eleven years ago)

it was the guy's name I think!

john wahey (NickB), Thursday, 23 October 2014 22:14 (eleven years ago)

it sounds like it ought to mean something though

john wahey (NickB), Thursday, 23 October 2014 22:15 (eleven years ago)

Someone who dogs bunks, clearly.

emil.y, Thursday, 23 October 2014 22:16 (eleven years ago)

Ha ha Do you guys want to rock tonight or hang out in the bowling alley parking lot?

Rocking sounds cool, I guess

you walk on the street, grab the rock (President Keyes), Sunday, 2 November 2014 14:33 (eleven years ago)

Sounds pretty passive aggressive.

"But yesterday you said you didn't want to rock!"

"Look, really, it's fine; I don't mind rockin' tonight."

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 2 November 2014 14:34 (eleven years ago)

man ive always wondered about that juppanese one. like how was that actually allowed?

fuhgeddaboudit! (missingNO), Sunday, 2 November 2014 15:14 (eleven years ago)

I don't mind rockin', I'd just rather we got Juppanese.

Joe Walsh There Goes the Neighborhood is almost the ideal of this genre of album titling

There Goes Ryan's Scion (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Sunday, 2 November 2014 19:03 (eleven years ago)

Joe was the master. He rode that schtick into the late 80s:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61QVSFXDBDL.jpg

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 2 November 2014 19:07 (eleven years ago)

Walsh also embodies the "Hey here's my album, whaddya want from me?" rueful shrug and grin that is implied by all these titles, his whole persona is sort of based on this aethestic

There Goes Ryan's Scion (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Sunday, 2 November 2014 19:09 (eleven years ago)

haha Tarfumes you posted that same cover last summer!

still cracks me up though, what a joker that joe is!

Doctor Casino, Sunday, 2 November 2014 19:30 (eleven years ago)

Whoops, haha yeah, I thought it might've already been posted.

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 2 November 2014 19:46 (eleven years ago)

Okay, who remembers seeing this stuff in the record stores and feeling sorry for these people. When those covers are 12" x 12" and sitting in the bins while Bee Gees albums cover the walls, you just feel sad and angry and go, "what's up with that?"

Threat Assessment Division (I M Losted), Sunday, 2 November 2014 19:54 (eleven years ago)

As a kid I would have wanted those Joe Walsh albums, but paper routes don't pay enough.

Threat Assessment Division (I M Losted), Sunday, 2 November 2014 19:56 (eleven years ago)

The thing with Joe Walsh was, when he didn't make his album covers into stupid jokes, you got sub-Uriah Heep stuff like this:

STOP CLONING ABOUT

Doctor Casino, Sunday, 2 November 2014 21:31 (eleven years ago)

Record stores should have had a section for "cocaine damage". Or music back then should have all been classified by drug / muse.
