It was made for the independent Channel 4 btw, nothing to do with the BBC. Channel 4 broadcast loads of cool docs like this in the early 80s.

my bad, but good to know! i just believed the youtube description, which is definitely right at least 15% of the time

I wonder how many people think "David Byrne sucks solo" yet have never heard The Catherine Wheel.

You know, they were okay, but I had forgotten about them. Didn't know he produced it or whatever.

tempted to really test the limits of propriety with a liquid days vote

Sufjan Grafton, Monday, 27 March 2017 00:31 (seven years ago) link

so looking forward to the results roll out.

that's not my post, Monday, 27 March 2017 01:18 (seven years ago) link

Know what's great on The Name Of This Band? Memories Can't Wait.

This is a) true b) the reason MCW is on my ballot

I love how TNoTBiTH elevates Fear of Music tracks, but the RiL stuff is just bad. Mostly, I love TNoTBiTH for A Clean Break.

Sufjan Grafton, Monday, 27 March 2017 01:59 (seven years ago) link

almost forgot about this, slapped it together very quickly

Moodles, Monday, 27 March 2017 02:14 (seven years ago) link

sent

Balðy Daudrs (contenderizer), Monday, 27 March 2017 03:44 (seven years ago) link

Sent mine too

Moodles, Monday, 27 March 2017 04:00 (seven years ago) link

Submitted.

etc, Monday, 27 March 2017 04:05 (seven years ago) link

I've found live versions re-igniting enthusiasm for RiL this week, by emphasizing different elements from the tightly-packed studio arrangements that have grown familiar over decades.

Re TNoTBiTH, it's certainly responsible for "Love->Building On Fire" being on my ballot. Loose and smeary works there IMHO. And, yep, "A Clean Break" too.

Maximum big surprise! (Nag! Nag! Nag!), Monday, 27 March 2017 04:06 (seven years ago) link

sent!

Van Horn Street, Monday, 27 March 2017 05:07 (seven years ago) link

I Can't believe A Clean Break isn't on any of the studio albums. I'm sure I've heard it somewhere other than TNOTBITH

Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Monday, 27 March 2017 08:03 (seven years ago) link

I'm listening to the first disc now, and while the second disc is indeed amazing, this one just has so much raw energy and enthusiasm. band is tight AF and Byrne is on it like a car bonnet

Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Monday, 27 March 2017 08:22 (seven years ago) link

hi Bee OK, did you get my ballot?

Moodles, Monday, 27 March 2017 13:04 (seven years ago) link

i will be sending out another round of confirmation emails but yeah i got it.

To Live and Die In L.A. (Bee OK), Monday, 27 March 2017 13:59 (seven years ago) link

i know a lot of you are thinking, poll closes on Sunday, the roll-out starts on Monday. this is not the case as this is not a 100 song roll-out, pplains and i still have some behind the scenes work to do and i still have to go work on Monday and Tuesday of this week.

To Live and Die In L.A. (Bee OK), Monday, 27 March 2017 14:01 (seven years ago) link

no worries man, thanks for your work here

sleeve, Monday, 27 March 2017 14:02 (seven years ago) link

thanks, Bee OK!

Moodles, Monday, 27 March 2017 14:03 (seven years ago) link

Thanks Bee OK! And pplains too.

Frederik B, Monday, 27 March 2017 14:05 (seven years ago) link

So glad pplains is doing the images!

Karl Malone, Monday, 27 March 2017 14:24 (seven years ago) link

i know a lot of you are thinking, poll closes on Sunday, the roll-out starts on Monday.

nah, there's no reason to rush. take as much time as you need.

Balðy Daudrs (contenderizer), Monday, 27 March 2017 16:42 (seven years ago) link

Thanks but we are going to start tomorrow after work. Got a shit load of ballots for this one.

To Live and Die In L.A. (Bee OK), Monday, 27 March 2017 18:16 (seven years ago) link

Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 27 March 2017 20:16 (seven years ago) link
