Boo Radleys Tracks Poll - Interested or not?

For PSB, I'd also include the handful of productions they did, Dusty/Liza Minelli/Eight Wonder/Cicero, even god forbid Ian Wright if you're a masochist.

Oh I remember that:

"You're out of your mind!! by eating string
nana na nah, do the right thing.."

Bowie

....wow!

so we are doing this right?

13 plus people is more than enough to run something like this.

plus, i would think people would like being turned on to the best band of the 90's stuff!

Yeah I'd love a Bowie one too.

Yeah I'd love a Bowie one too.

Let's wait until the Pavement and hiphop polls close and then assess whether it's worth doing. 13 people ain't bad, and we may get a couple more ballots. If people don't wanna get involved it's no biggie.

Maybe make it less than 22 for the Booz

yeah.

Might as well put this here:

haha, yeah i was following that. Carr's commentary was jokes - more about beer and TV than the actual birth, but I'm sure he was being tongue in cheek.

He didn't call his kid "Sailor" though, surely??

I had pics of Amber and Alice both up within the day of their births, for interested family members..

Xpost No, he called her Little Sailor.

The Boos have been creeping into my conscious lately - maybe because my g/f is upping sticks to study in Peterborough and a lot of Carr's songs were about having to move around the country cos of his relationship at the time.

I dreamt I saw a reformed Boo Radleys play at a festival. They asked me to join them on back-up for Lazarus, for which the crowd went wild. But then they played Almost Nearly There (an acoustic b-side number) and the crowd left the tent with the soundman turning the set down halfway through the song. Such a shame! I remember feeling quite disappointed about this.

So in the absence of a poll, can we talk about favourite tracks, deep cuts, b-sides again?

Hey George Michael you don't know me but I know you very well, they can't take that away from you.

Possibly my number one? The Wake Up version at least. Pisces did you happen to see my Giant Steps anniversary piece I did the other day?

the answer to this question is YES, as i have signed up for it. i'm really, really, really excited for it.

think it got decided that not enough people would vote. i wouldn't mind a mini poll though.

Not so, it's in the list of "forthcoming ballots"

oh no i didn't see the Giant Steps thing? i'll have a nosey.

xpost, it is?? yay! when / who is running it?

Thread for coordinating the order and timing of ILM ballot polls

60. P-Funk - Shakey Mo Collier
61. Iggy Pop, incl. Stooges - flopson
62. Boo Radleys - Bee OK
63. XTC - Shakey Mo Collier
64. Italo - daavid

Which number we up to now?

43, so probably another year or so to wait

That's cool, I'll just sit here and wait till it happens.

i have also taken over ownership of that thread and thought about switching my next poll Steely Dan with this Boo Radleys poll instead. however, i would be hanged by ILM if i did that.

here are going to be my polls:

37. New Order - Bee OK (finished)
50. Steely Dan - Bee OK
62. Boo Radleys - Bee OK
73. Spoon - Bee OK
84. Bauhaus/Love and Rockets-Tones on Tail/Peter Murphy - Bee OK
96. Talking Heads - Bee OK

and will never top that New Order poll
