Ooops! Bone-headed double post….

[Housequake]

Dash – you have a fan.

 

 

Good thing too.

 

If I hadn’t, I might have been tempted to buy one from that guy.

 

Who guy?

What!?!……The guy who had to de-funkify Nunchuck and Sy’s thread with air freshener?

I guess it is a good thing you have a fan! ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_cheeky.001.gif” />

 

Oh, and if you are referring to my post, all items are sold “as is”…. there are no warranties implied or expressed.

Thanks Dash another batch of quality releases and any Elton John is very much appreciated and GYBR such a classic album

Great release! Thank you, Dash.

Thanks to an eagle eyed reviewer/collaborator, I discovered a flaw in the way I write lyric files.

Sorry about that, folks.

The short of it is that this technical error results in visually broken vocal slides. Thankfully, it seems to effect nothing but the visual display of some vocal tubes.

Still, I feel obligated to go back and fix the impacted cons (probably the vast majority).

The first batch is done, but before I commit to doing the rest, I’d like to get some feedback as to the effectiveness of my fix.

Elton has been updated.

I should probably mention that this contradicts the RBN documentation. Frankly, I don’t know what to make of this. It’s entirely possible that I’m just flat out wrong.

 

Stay tuned…

 

Ya… Nothing to see here. At least it doesn’t appear to hurt anything.

 

OIW… READ THE DOCS!

 

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Dash does it again! Customs like these prove why he is one of the greatest contributors on this site.

 

The Monkees are tragically underrepresented in RB. Hopefully that will change in the future.

 

Thanks!!

[Funk Meister Freud]

Thanks for the cons, amigo (especially “Pleasant Valley Sunday” – very cool tune).

These are greatly appreciated as always, but forgive me for being dense…….

What’s up with the “Social Media 101” heading?…….something to do with the artists, titles or lyrics in the songs portraying a common theme?….

 

If that’s what’s going on….. all I’m getting is something about a Monkee named Elvis with really nice shoes?

Help me out and throw me a bone, would’ya? LOL! ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />

The common theme here is social commentary, in the days before the Internet. This is (mostly) how it used to be done, hence 101.

 

[from Wiki]

The lyrics of “Sunday Papers” sarcastically criticize the press and those who read it. In the lyrics, Jackson, a vocal opponent of the press, sings of the trashy and inaccurate stories printed by the papers.

 

“Pleasant Valley Sunday” is a song by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, most famous for the version recorded by The Monkees in 1967. Goffin’s and King’s inspiration for the name was a street named Pleasant Valley Way, in West Orange, New Jersey where they were living at the time.[1] The road follows a valley through several communities among the Watchung Mountains. The lyrics were a social commentary on status symbols, creature comforts, life in suburbia and “keeping up with the Joneses”. The song has been regarded by many[by whom?] as an understated comment on consumerism while maintaining a relentlessly driving pop beat. It became one of the Monkees’ most successful singles.

 

Of the song’s meaning, Costello himself has stated: “I made my first trip to Belfast in 1978 and saw mere boys walking around in battle dress with automatic weapons. They were no longer just on the evening news. These snapshot experiences exploded into visions of mercenaries and imperial armies around the world. The song was based on the premise ‘they always get a working class boy to do the killing’. I don’t know who said that; maybe it was me, but it seems to be true nonetheless. I pretty much had the song sketched out on the plane back to London.”

And there you have it! Thanks for connecting the dots for me (and you’d think I was OLD enough to catch that one right off, I guess it was a “brain fart” moment). ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />

 

“Pleasant Valley Sunday” a Goffin/King collaboration?

“I was not aware of that!”

 

Another cool little tidbit! Thanks
