and I could pick only the greatest similarity for each character... Regarding to some degree their physical appearances, but far more
their psychological patterns + their place within the community.

five seasons of the Anatomy and soon two Glee seasons.]

Get Happy!! with Elvis Costello
1980
Costello has turned 58 years already now. While the 70's turned into the 80's he made his very most energetic tracks (still with The Attractions). GET HAPPY!! would have been my favourite Elvis-album - if he had stopped after half the songs. But as he sang: "I can't stand up for falling down". On the other side it has it's charm that the second part of the double album is less glimmering, rather dark, giving the clown his shadow to lean upon. Although my head clearly remembers only songs from the first, more light and springy half. Anyhow whole album seems to be a modern tribute to soul and R'n'B.
most Amusing songs: LOVE FOR TENDER + MEN CALLED UNCLE
most Beautiful songs: RIOT ACT + CLOWNTIME IS OVER
most Sexy songs: HUMAN TOUCH + OPPORTUNITY
most Smart songs: NEW AMSTERDAM + GIRLS TALK (Bonus track)
most Strange songs: BLACK AND WHITE WORLD + B MOVIE
most growing Strong songs: HIGH FIDELITY + KING HORSE
most Loving songs: POSSESSION + TEMPTATION
Overall Album
7 compositions
7 instrumentations
6 playin' feeling /singin' feeling
4 philosophy
2 timeline (order of tracks)
3 concept (titles, cover picture)
7 historical importance
= 36
I now give 1-7 for each cathegory
where 3 is good and total possible 7 X 7 = 49 never exist(?)

Seconds of Pleasure with Rockpile
The fundament of Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe finally released a full
record under their identity Rockpile, in 1980.
Well, believe I agree that their solo albums is more rich on interesting material - even though this gets five stars from amg, in good company with early Lowe and (almost) Edmunds, these late 70's rock'n'rollers. My points would've been higher if they had included some songs from the Everly Brothers cover EP into main LP. Since they already had add some Berry and more to their own compositions.
most Amusing song:
TEACHER TEACHER
by Philips & Pickett
most Beautiful song:
bonus track (I DO MY) CRYING IN THE RAIN
by Greenfield & King
most Sexy song:
IF SUGAR WAS AS SWEET AS YOU (HONEY)
by Joe Tex
most Smart song:
WRONG AGAIN (LET'S FACE IT)
by Difford & Tilbrook who became The Squeeze
most Strange song:
FOOL TOO LONG
by Bremmer, Lowe, Williams, Edmunds
most growing Strong song:
HEART
by Lowe
most Loving song:
WHEN I WRITE THE BOOK (ABOUT MY LOVE)
by Lowe

To the Soul with Frida Hyvönen
Maybe strongest swedish album of this year?!
Keep repeating it again, in a hypnotized way I seldom do anymore, though I thought I got enough during spring. Well, Frida's northern wind is so deeply rooted in everyday life and death, that it reaches against something eternal.
most Loving song: FARMOR [GRANDMA]
most Amusing song: CALIFORNIA
most Beautiful song: SAYING GOODBYE (it's as if you don't hear me)

KALEIDOSCOPE with Siouxsie & the Banshees
Released 1980, co-creating the new wave movement from punk into
(synth)pop, in some gothic way
I can return to their music without ever getting bored - maybe since I never really get the whole structure, but feel it possesses an appearant one.
This seems to be the most well-crafted among their early albums. Also exiting to compare with TINDERBOX from six years later, a completely different record, but still impossible to mistake for another band.

South Korea 2011
Long since I saw korean movies. I used to love their complex mystic of real life. This one surprises me by being both a comedy as well as a mystery. Then after half film we're furthermore in a deep drama.

Labour of Lust with Nick Lowe
eLe
his second main album made 1979.
During the first side, I can't really feel Lowe's high five-star quality. Except in the excellent piece "Cruel to be kind" of course! But then through the B-side he begins again to making melodies which rocks so fine, funny and cool as ever.
On Nick's first record Jesus of Cool I believe the punkish elements makes more sense. Well, surely I need more time to grasp this unique craftmanship - my opinions about his music (including the time it was a part of) have changed many times.
Obviously my favourites on L o L Lowe co-composed with Ian Gomm and more. His Rockpile-companion Dave Edmunds seems even more worth discovering...
most Amusing song: SWITCHBOARD SUSAN
most Beautiful song: SKIN DEEP
most Sexy song: LOVE SO FINE
most Smart song: DOSE OF YOU
most Strange song: BIG KICK, PLAIN SCRAP
most growing Strong song: CRUEL TO BE KIND
Overall Album
6 compositions
7 instrumentations
4 playin' feeling /singin' feeling
4 philosophy
2 timeline (order of tracks)
4 concept (titles, cover picture)
7 historical importance
= 34
I now give 1-7 for each cathegory
where 3 is good and total possible 7 X 7 = 49 never exist(?)
