ELVIS Songs still give most Strong Feelings


The higher these tracks come, the longer time in my life I've found them most incredibly intense.

[Composers and year of Presley Recording of course are mentioned]

I'm also imagining which of Disney's Seven Dwarfs may rule the emotional state of each track, or SnowWhite herself for the most loveable beauties.

The Magic Whip could be Best Album of this year


mighty well, as Amazon list suggests. BLUR is far from my acquaintance, never heard an album until now two decades after their heyday. Anyway this Magic Whip really turns out to be a masterpiece of creative balance :

very varied without being confusing + serious wihout being boring = hard to match?! So far just Wreckless Eric's AmERICa (a more entertaining comeback) meets same amount of interest in me.

Blur here Reminds me most of : Morrissey, Bowie, Elbow, Arcade Fire



most Soulful song: PYONGYANG (Seven Rockets)

most Imaginative song: THOUGHT I WAS A SPACEMAN

most Amusing song: I BROADCAST

most Beautiful song: NEW WORLD TOWERS

most Strong song: LONESOME STREET

most Sexy song: MY TERRACOTTA HEART

most Grounded song: THERE ARE TOO MANY OF US



Whole Album

(5) compositions

(6) instrumentations

(5) singin' /playin' feelin'

(5) lyrics (incl titles)

(7) variation

(5) synchronization

(4) historical importance

Moody Blue From Elvis Presley Boulevard

presented as Moody Blue + Bonus tracks

Together these last sessions maybe makes an album with enough good material to feel like a more worthy end?!?!

Well, Elvis was a singles artist, som the album question becomes a parenthesis. Anyway I treat the two as one now.

second record review since I turned 40



most Soulful song: (He's playing) SOLITAIRE
[Coody, Sedaka]

most Imaginative song: (ready in the harbour) THE LAST FAREWELL
[Webster, Whittaker]

most Amusing song: MOODY BLUE
[Mark James]

most Beautiful song: IT'S EASY FOR YOU
[Lloyd Webber, Rice]

most Strong song: NEVER AGAIN (ever love anyone as much)
[Chestnut, Neville, Williams, Wheeler]

most Sexy song: WAY DOWN
[Layng Martine]

most Grounded song: (from glen to glen) DANNY BOY

Alone in an ELO

first record review since I turned 40



ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE

latest album from Lynne
calling his ship Jeff Lynne's ELO here

without Roy Wood or others who could've brought more life
to these good old vibrations....


Already listened seven rounds
and each piece grows a bit
but some boredom remains;

Jeff seems unable or unwilling to get really creative anymore
so I still find classic Electric Light Orchestra things
or his solo Armchair Theatre to be far more interesting



most Soulful song: THE SUN WILL SHINE ON YOU

most Imaginative song: WHEN I WAS A BOY (I Had a Dream)

most Amusing song: AIN'T IT A DRAG

most Beautiful song: ALL MY LIFE

most Strong song: I'M LEAVING YOU

most Sexy song: DIRTY TO THE BONE

most Grounded song: BLUE [Bonus]



....if I'd been the producer, I would've excluded :
Love And Rain and When The Night Comes
to include the both bonus numbers instead,
then ask for a long instrumental outro to the title track


Except for Beatles of course, this sounds in my ears most similar to : 10 cc, Roy Orbison, David Bowie, Dave Stewart, Sam Cooke, Alan Parsons' Project

The Road Warrior : Mad Max 2


movie seen now (on bluray)
strangely enough my first time


made in Australia 1981

Since this second part seems more focused on action, less on emotions, actually I liked the first Mad Max better, in contrast to most people's preference. Both though build extremely elegant visions of a grotesquely dirty world.

Cosmic Tramp Orbits Closer

inspired by Supertramp's music


Trombone number 7



Took the long way home

tonight with my crazy circus train in super-space

travelled from Titan

- breakfast on Oberon -

passed around Triton

some years before returning in agony (s)exhausted

now to our

earthly moon

drawn by an armstrong but really illusive

limb out again

that string of golden brass

has paved some magic track

straight back

to my earliest future

where we sat in same sofa and

saxophoned so many strange talking people

hidden inside septangular furnitures

like a mess of perfect motives

before this lonely black

computer spread your silence

allover every galaxy

could I've been a musician or moviemaker

rather than working as madman

- world's most nice demon -

for women wondering

about some well-dressed elephant

among these desolated corridors

suspiciously circular

Most Peculiar and Tasteful ALBUM TITLES


Some could almost have worked as titles for sci-fi-novels.

Funny thing was, to remind me of these fantastic titles, I found more internet inspiration from "worst titles" lists than from "best titles" lists.

Surprises me further that some of the most lyrically ambitious artists came up with quite ordinary names for all their albums.

To be on this list I should have heard each album (at least once). Otherwise it would be too many titles to choose among. For same easy reason I concentrate on titles in english (or gibberish) language.

A plus but not a demand is that the contempt of actual music reflects the title well.

by Myslikova street in Prague

...long since I last got a feeling of déjà vu, like from an earlier life


but two months ago it happened, like an imagination I hade really lived there

on a Prague street I didn't expected, since this Myslikova is located on "the new" city side (closer to the Jiraskuv bridge than the most famous bridges), in a relatively anonymous area where I never experienced something memorable during my three visits before...

Maybe it was just some symbol I saw or smell I got reminded by, right there or delayed from while I was walking again through many corners of this cozy city.
