Favoriting Brian Turner: Playlist from May 30, 2017 Favoriting

Order and disorder in a freeform haze of terribly-played guitars, shorted-out electronics, found audio detritus, strange sounds from strange lands all around. Psych-punk-junk, collage, even pop. Lots of in-studio live performances to boot.

i personally am a big fan of 1972. i ended up setting a screenplay i was writing in '72 as opposed to '73 because i was making a playlist based on the top 100 songs of that year to get a feel for the time period, and i liked the '72 list better.

@mayor frank: yeah that was the #1 that year!

@revrab: strangely there's not a single song from either of those albums on the top 100 list. i have the top 100 list of that year basically memorized by now so I'm overly familiar with it haha. but the fact that those two albums are absent from it entirely says a lot.
Avatar 4:11pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

i ended up making playlists for the top 100 songs of EVERY year because doing the 1972 one was so fun and i've learned so fucking much, honestly. i've especially learned that the years 1960-1963 were not as useless as everyone thinks

steveo:

Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger wrote Space Girl in 1952 for a short ballad-opera with the title You're Only Young Once to be performed by the Theatre Workshop. It is a parody on The Ghost Soldier Song which was popular with American soldiers during the First World War and mocks most of the major themes of 1940s science fiction. A version of the song was recorded on The World of Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger, Volume 2: Songs from the Radio Ballads, released in 1971 on Argo Records.

Shirley Collins sang a much shorter version of Space Girl on the 1960 LP Rocket Along: New Ballads on Old Lines. She was accompanied by Robin Hall, guitar, Jimmy McGregor, mandolin, and Vic Pitt, double bass.

Eliza Carthy sang Space Girl on the Imagined Village's second CD, Empire & Love (2010).
