ARmy Rumour SErvice

MasterPlume asleep, MrsPlume on phone to NZ, Brother-In-LawPlume has head buried in iPad. Busy day planned tomorrow so thoughts turned to shuffle:

Romeo & Juliet - Dire Straits
Thank You For The Music - ABBA
Let The World Keep On Turning - Goats Don't Shave
It's Different For Girls - Joe Jackson
Julianne - Ben Folds Five*
You - REM
Streets of Philadelphia - Bruce Springsteen
Biko - Simple Minds
Empire - Kasabian with Jools Holland
I Need A Man To Love - Janis Joplin

Have just picked up a newly released compilation CD called New Orleans Blues, Soul & Jazz Gumbo so I will mainly be listening to how music changed & various styles from the era of Louis Armstrong & Kid Ory via Champion Jack Dupree and Lee Dorsey to Irma Thomas and Clarence "Frogman" Henry to Professor Longhair & His Shuffling Hungarians & Mac Rebennack (Dr John)...

*have to love a song which opens, "I met a girl who looked like Axl Rose, I took her home and we slept in our clothes," with driving piano, bass & drums underneath

Good for you.

My Moosus has finally recovered from her 'flu'..of 5 days, has emerged from the bed, and is now sitting in the lounge as she is in the process of re writing one of her books that she's due to republish later this year.....yeah whatever, just sit there and be quiet, don't cough or make any other attention seeking noises or it's back to bed for you.... so in order to annoy her even further, I will take up a commanding position by my PC, place headphones on head, place one bottle of JD and one litre bottle of coke within arms reach, and enjoy some music of my choice...not sure which way it will go or how loud, but your shuffle's got me thinking. May occassionally acknowledge the moosus?

I like your new Comp CD, also remember being a nipper and learning all the words to this, as coached by my older sister....

I was brought up with my Father's record collection & therefore didn't feel the need to buy my own music until I was in my teens, hence no embarrassing Bay City Rollers or the like skeletons in the closet! There was a lot of mainstream 50s-60s pop (so Eddie Cochrane, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis & similar) but this was leavened by a lot of jazz (Dad had played banjo for the Thames Valley Stompers in his sixth form, one of the reasons he failed his A Levels & didn't go to Oxbridge as planned) and blues.

I also had a huge fondness for artists like Louis Jordan and Lee Dorsey who were at the opening days of rock 'n' roll, but coming from the black rather than white side of music & incorporating a lot of swing. I wasn't as fond of Elvis until I discovered the Sun Studios recordings, largely as Mother was the Presley fan & was into all the soppy stuff from the films.

A Desert Island Discs selection from that period would probably be:

Working In A Coalmine (or Get Out My Life Woman) - Lee Dorsey
What's The Use In Getting Sober (If You're Going To Get Drunk Again) (or Five Guys Named Moe) - Louis Jordan
Mystery Train (or Good Rockin' Tonight) Sun Studios Sessions versions - Elvis Presley
Breathless (or Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On) - Jerry Lee Lewis
Not Fade Away - Buddy Holly
Summertime Blues - Eddie Cochrane
Johnny B Goode - Chuck Berry
Good Golly Miss Molly - Little Richard

Lucky you, having an older sister who was always into the latest trend, including the Osmonds, David friggen Cassidy and most other teen heart throbs was never easy...although fair play to her for starting my Bowie education.

Have to agree with your choices, mine would be slightly different, but always believed the Bo Diddly and Jerry Lee Lewis were the real power behind it all at the time, but you have to hand it to Buddy Holly along with his A & R team, as his songs are timeless classics known by pretty much everyone...

Don't know if you've seen this......

Cadillac Records (200 - IMDb

...a glammed up, 'factional' account, but it has some great songs.


Ok, I'm off to nod and smile at the moosus, drink some more and listen to more music.

Have to say that this ARRSE website, in most cases, amuses the hell out of me......even the total idiots often make me smile.

Good night to you sir.

Wasn't really aware of Bo Diddley at the time. Like Little Richard & Chuck Berry I'm afraid to say IMHO they might have been innovative but rapidly descended into caricature and repetitiveness. Anyway, we know a time-travelling Michael J Fox invented Rock 'n' Roll with Marvin Berry!

Must get round to watching Cadillac Records along with all the other music biopics that have come out over the past 5-10 years. Work patterns mean I don't often get to watch a lot of films & I have a huge backlog...

A fair evening to you too.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am loving this thread! I have just spent an evening with my daughter, doing "OK" at Million Pound Drop and drinking vino, so no music thus far, but you will see some of the records/artists mentioned by yourselves appearing in my shuffles. Thanks folks .

Sunday morning. Slightly fuzzy headed and nothing to do until the other half gets back from Bournemouth. Perfect time for a shuffle... Oh and while I'm at it I'll do the music thingy as well. (Oh, is my carriage waiting, fetch me my cloak)
