I noticed after I sent it but could...Yes it should. I noticed after I sent it but couldn't be fucked to change it. <BR/><BR/>I can take or leave the "the" on Boys. I don't like the idea of it spilling over into another song though. It should end.<BR/><BR/>I reckon Mike is right on Steve being later, but haven't played with it to see how yet. I always figured the folky stuff should be later on. Just seems right to me. <BR/><BR/>It's not called "Fuck Off, Ma"<BR/><BR/>It's not called "Fuck Off London City Gent"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403687190080487598.post-36271084847542856072008-12-09T20:36:00.000+00:002008-12-09T20:36:00.000+00:00Shouldn't 'What shall we do with the drunken sailo...Shouldn't 'What shall we do with the drunken sailor?' have a question mark, macca?<BR/><BR/>My favoured ways of writing the titles are the labels of the blog post, by the way, so we disagree on a a few counts, but I'm not too worried about 'the's.<BR/><BR/>Someone's swopped blackwall and sprocket on my list, that works well, solves the crew/blackwall proximity problem.<BR/><BR/>I'd rather steve stays where it is if possible, because it is an audience favourite and I don't want to tuck all the folkier ones away in the second half of the album. I can see that just in terms of intros and outtros it would flow well in either place though.<BR/><BR/>Mike I suppose your questions about gaps between songs etc is at least partly a mastering thing, though if you're talking about adding extra noises then we need to think about what specifically they would be asap and see if aled can fit them in...<BR/><BR/>One I can envisage is maybe the end of Boys spilling right up to the start of something, but that doesn't really work where it is right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403687190080487598.post-89537293323024708582008-12-09T18:31:00.000+00:002008-12-09T18:31:00.000+00:00Yeah, I think I like the idea of having Weigh Anch...Yeah, I think I like the idea of having Weigh Anchor before Curse the London City Gent mainly because the end is so epic it's good to bring it right back down instantly. Also, a song that was lax the whole way through would be too much, so Gent is just right.<BR/><BR/>Not sure that Steve should be that early though, I would probably chuck it in between cumberland and sprocket instead.<BR/><BR/>One other thing to consider is how songs are going to flow into each other. I'm thinking most of them start right away, maybe with some overlaps (going into sprocket maybe), but there might be places which require more breathing space. Maybe there are other ideas for links between songs like vocal interludes and feedback. The second one.<BR/><BR/>As for spelling, I prefer Boys Who Left The Band, but the other "The"s can stay. Also, we could always call Tell Me Ma "Fuck Off Ma". The Curse Of The London City Gent sounds exciting, but in a "Harry Potter and The Curse Of The London City Gent" way that I don't much care for. How about "Fuck Off London City Gent".<BR/><BR/>Fuck,<BR/>- MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403687190080487598.post-26326748195678005372008-12-09T10:09:00.000+00:002008-12-09T10:09:00.000+00:00I'd write them:Tell Me MaThe Boys Who Left The Ban...I'd write them:<BR/><BR/>Tell Me Ma<BR/>The Boys Who Left The Band<BR/>Curse The London City Gent<BR/>The Auld Triangle<BR/>Cumberland Crew (dunno why)<BR/>The Last Blackwall<BR/>Old Boys' State<BR/>Cock In Your Eye<BR/>What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor.<BR/><BR/>The last one I'd especially like written in full.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
