"Sun hot - you don't got a backache"

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Monday, 30 October 2006 22:39 (nineteen years ago)

no one ever mentions my favorite George solo tune (well, its a tie between this and "Don't Make Me Wait Too Long"), the finest entry on the well-loved Lethal Weapon 2 soundtrack: http://www.jpgr.co.uk/w2696.html

Oh, I love "Cheer Down." It sounds like a real good Tom Petty song, i.e. too snarky for him to sing himself (even though he gets a cowrite credit)

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Monday, 30 October 2006 23:06 (nineteen years ago)

George Harrison's best ever song after the breakup of The Beatles is of course the fantastic "When We Was Fab".

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 30 October 2006 23:07 (nineteen years ago)

How much humor in music is actually something that makes people really laugh out loud, anyway? Gone Troppo is an incredibly silly record with wacky lyrics and arrangements, cover design by someone from the Bonzo Dog Band, and a nutty version of a ridiculous 1961 doo wop song.

"Wake Up My Love" makes me laugh out loud, alright. The synth player sounds like he's hitting the keyboard with a dead bat.

I suppose that song has kind of a dopey groove, Alfred, but it is all part of the homespun fun. I like the guitar on it.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 00:27 (nineteen years ago)

Also, Alfred, did u realize that song involves a double entendre??? Lol.

wasn't it El Topo ?

I just wish there was a film called "well-loved Lethal Weapon 2"

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 15:16 (nineteen years ago)

The funding of "The Life Of Brian" may be George Harrison's most important post-Beatles achievement.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 15:35 (nineteen years ago)

otm

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I'll go along with that one.

Also, rescuing "the long good friday" similarly.

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 15:46 (nineteen years ago)

Also "Time Bandits"

I think Lennon saw El Topo, flipped out, then they got Klein to green light Holy Mountain

Lennon and Yoko helped to arrange the release and distribution of El Topo.

This record gives me energy when I need energy.

Beware of Darkness is so beautiful, with that siren call guitar and george singing "watch out now, take kurr bewurr.."

― Dr X O'Skeleton, Thursday, 12 August 2010 17:10 (fifteen years ago)

aw man old Bimble posts :) :(

― glitter hands! glitter hands! razzle! dazzle! (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 12 August 2010 18:01 (fifteen years ago)

Doing final assembly of the biggest project of the year -- pretty mindless, the brain-cell-burning work has already been done and I'm beyond exhausted. ATMP on neverending repeat is the perfect soundtrack for the ad placement and article-flowing, croaking along in my horrible voice.

― My totem animal is a hamburger. (WmC), Thursday, 12 August 2010 18:14 (fifteen years ago)

Wonderwall Music is really damn good, but it doesn't have "Behind That Locked Door". Or "Awaiting On You All".

― Beach Pomade (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 12 August 2010 20:51 (fifteen years ago)

If I ever make another mixtape I'm putting "Behind That Locked Door" on it.

― Beach Pomade (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 12 August 2010 20:51 (fifteen years ago)

Which one of the long jams has the "Electronic Sound" samples wailing away obliviously in the background? "I Remember Jeep"? "Thanks For The Pepperoni"? Either way, a pretty daft artistic choice - not unlike that Spooky Tooth album from the same year.

― Myonga Vön Bontee, Thursday, 12 August 2010 22:00 (fifteen years ago)

...and hey, I just remembered that Gary Wright's on both of those records

― Myonga Vön Bontee, Thursday, 12 August 2010 22:12 (fifteen years ago)

Since no one has mentioned it yet, let me put in a vote for the comparatively-low-key-but-still-somehow-epic "Let It Down." A perfect example of the buried gem that doesn't hit you right away while you're enjoying the more obviously great songs.

― Hideous Lump, Friday, 13 August 2010 02:14 (fifteen years ago)

Having just read the AMG write up moments ago, it's "I Remember Jeep."

― Hideous Lump, Friday, 13 August 2010 02:16 (fifteen years ago)

Listened to this four times last night and today while I ground up theoretical pigs into digital sausage. (Then I switched to Sunn O)))).)

― My totem animal is a hamburger. (WmC), Friday, 13 August 2010 03:58 (fifteen years ago)

Actually I prefer the earlier demo of "Let It Down" included as a bonus on the reissue - the Spector bombast on the final version makes my ears hurt.

My younger brother just bought me the original vinyl pressing in damn near mint condition, equipped with the original huge poster of George looking super creepy. Looked around online and it goes for a couple hundred (not that I'd ever dream of selling it).

"Wah-Wah" at full volume is one hell of a good time.

nothin to see here, just a hippy hanging out with some gnomes

Amazingly enough, as a Beatles fan who was listening to the radio when "My Sweet Lord" and "What Is Life" were hits, I do not own this. I do love "Behind That Locked Door," though, and all three hits.

― clemenza, Friday, 13 August 2010 20:30 (fifteen years ago)

four months pass...

The title track is soothing to my troubled soul.

― Doctor Casino, Monday, 3 January 2011 05:39 (fifteen years ago)

err....shit, pasted over something there. That's a one-CD mix of this that I made back in 1998 or 1999, probably one of the first CDs I ever burned. It must have been my preferred listening experience for a while, because looking over it, I can't bring to mind any of the songs I left out (aside from "Isn't It A Pity"). Submitted for your consideration!

― Doctor Casino, Monday, 3 January 2011 05:41 (fifteen years ago)

testing it out right now, and looking forward to it! I always enjoy good chunks of All Things Must Pass, but something keeps me from heavily replaying it. Hoping this will help.

― Z S, ~THE~ University of Missouri-Columbia, (Z S), Monday, 3 January 2011 05:45 (fifteen years ago)

Left out "Behind that Locked Door"

― Telephoneface (Adam Bruneau), Monday, 3 January 2011 07:14 (fifteen years ago)

Got the reissued box set for my birthday in October, and I can only say my love for this album has continued to grow.
Am I the only one to think that Let It Down is the template for later Spiritualized?

― Dr X O'Skeleton, Monday, 3 January 2011 12:50 (fifteen years ago)

Nah there's a pretty obvious connection

― assorted curses (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 3 January 2011 18:18 (fifteen years ago)

well with this whole album really, not just that one tune imho

― assorted curses (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 3 January 2011 18:19 (fifteen years ago)

OTM OTM Definitely with that tune tho!
