Songs about Cousins & Talk with Undertones

Getting a real orange, hungry feeling
for Chocolate & School
of earliest 80's post punk rock
as Hypnotised by The Undertones

I'm Returning to this splendid album
sharp and cosy, tough and funny
too unknown to be true

Happen to discover this vitamine pill
five autumns ago while studying everything
although I'm normally into softer songs
and would feel empty without piano otherwise

as my Autumn Album # 178


by kinda chakra based evaluation

most Soulful song : MORE SONGS ABOUT CHOCOLATE AND GIRLS

most Imaginative song : WHAT'S WITH TERRY

most Amusing song : MY PERFECT COUSIN

most Beautiful song : WEDNESDAY WEEK

most Strong song : GIRLS THAT DON'T TALK

most Sexy song : HYPNOTISED

most Rooted song : UNDER THE BOARDWALK
[good cover of Drifters]



Reminds me most of : Jam, Elvis Costello, Buzzcocks, Gyllene Tider, Xtc, Sparks, Dave Edmunds, Alice Cooper, Who, Wire

Blue Angels at Midnight Café with Smokie


first time now I hear this as a full album, made in 1975-76
before Hotel California which otherwise could've made inspiration

though Smokie for me tends to be a greatest hits collection band
and/or for many people a live band
but still has potential in every piece to fill splendid studio albums

- while I'm not sure these really work as concepts,
still seems more as simply putting together
those magically cosy, county:ish songs


as my Autumn Album # 172
Midnight Café without bonus tracks


by kinda chakra based evaluation
here including small, deeper song reflections :


most Soulful song : SOMETHING'S BEEN MAKING ME BLUE
[by Chinn, Chapman]
becomes nicer and warmer for every round, yet according to the painful lyrics feels so deep... could be Smokies very best, extra well performed


most Imaginative song : WHAT CAN I DO?
[by Silson]
as haunting as always... shamefully I had forgot whether this was Smokie or some other soft hard rock band... and its sharpness differs a bit from their main groove, maybe because Alan Silson appearantly made it


most Amusing song : LITTLE LUCY
[by Norman, Spencer]
a happyish little piano stomp piece among the less superficial material... a new pearl for me, haven't met her before


most Beautiful song : WHEN MY BACK WAS AGAINST THE WALL
[by Norman, Spencer]
Reminded me already in the intro's strings that I actually had heard it twenty years ago, recorded it first on a tape for a friend... could have worked even on Beatles' Abbey Road?!


most Strong song : WILD WILD ANGELS
[by Chinn, Chapman]
a rock ballad cannot touch more directly deep than this!? ...never forget when the stripper played it as her performance song... still diminishes its dynamic effect by being already second number on Midnight Cafe, should've been a final or maybe opening the B-side (same goes for What Can I Do)


most Sexy song : I'LL MEET YOU AT MIDNIGHT
[by Chinn, Chapman]
here in the end we clearly begin to understand some french theme inspiration... a nice kind of euro beat mixed with sensual melancholy, but leaves me just teased, with no unforgetable satisfaction


most Rooted song : MAKE YA BOOGIE
[by Uttley, Norman, Spancer, Silson]
though it may feel a bit boring, they at least tried to make this relatively long session, a heavy contrast to their country pop, but still miles from some progressive rock threads they spun on the preceding album



Reminds me most of : Slade, Scorpions, Eagles, Alice Cooper, Rod Stewart, Björn Skifs, Neil Diamond, Neil Young, C.C. Revival, Beatles, Brinsley Schwarz, Uriah Heep

The Visitors with ABBA

as my Autumn Album # 174

Maybe thought I would never be able to return to this once more
like it had said all and done every impression there is to be made
But in that case I was wrong, since The Visitors fill my head again
with fresh chilly warm winds around their breakup in early 80's
as if a nightmare movie were mixed with a deeply uplifting drama
between joy and sadness, dressed in mysterious shades so clear


by kinda chakra based evaluation :

most Soulful song : THE VISITORS
"They must know by now I'm in here trembling"

most Imaginative song : HEAD OVER HEELS
"The world is like a playing ground where she goes rushing"

most Amusing song : TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE
"He was amazed by his luck"

most Beautiful song : SLIPPING THROUGH MY FINGERS
"School bag in hand... and a sense of guilt I can't deny"

most Strong song : WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE
"Deep inside both of us can feel the autumn chill"

most Sexy song : ONE OF US
"I saw myself as a concealed attraction"

most Rooted song : THE DAY BEFORE YOU CAME [Bonus track]
"There not I think a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see"


more Above and Below each than I can see : I LET THE MUSIC SPEAK



Could be my highest rated album ever here?!

Walrus Sallad

a mix of DALLAS tv soap
and Lennon tune I Am The Walrus

as "no one all together" part 0 of 1



I am Ray, yes
You are Pam as
He is Bobby
She seems sexy Lucy

watch how they frown
like cows in a town
see how we love
them quarreling


Star dust making car rust
Digging diamonds in the sky

kindly rascal Raymond
working outside Big Trust
cowboy gets a naughty girl
and learns to take the blame


They are some Barnes
You are a J.R.
We're in the same soap
spoiling Ewing Oil
(Go get a job!)


Ellie Ellen real wife fake life
falling down from skyscrapes every hour

see how they climb
like capricorns to Cliff
- if someone spies
he's dying
he's lying
he's flying
he's trying...


Sitting safe in office
grinning at some fool on phone
Pam is part of family
Dallas dances disco
Girl, you were a cowboy then
Now, why build bars on ranch?

I'm not a Barnes
They are a J.R.
We're in the same soap
spoiling Ewing Oil
(Go get a job!)


Riding cross a Texas desert
Gold got turned to sand
by the hands of
brothers take revenge on
every time you laughed so harsh
