In the Meantime Say You Will

[Gailh]

I've been trying for quite a while to create the above (virtual) album and I'm still not quite there yet BUT......

Some interesting combinations have occurred:

Have you ever played Peacekeeper followed by Calumny?

And Say Goodbye followed by Givin it Back?

Sublime.

I've got 14 songs and 56.5 minutes (about right for someone like me who has the attention span of a retarded ant) Christine has five songs, Lindsey 5 and Stevie only has four becauseI don't much care for her Say You Will stuff (perhaps I would like the demos better?)

I'm nearly ready to commit to burning a CD

What's your track list, Gail? Which Christine songs are on it? I assume there's no "Come" & "Murrow".

You're right no Come, no Murrow. To paraphrase someone As soon as I hear them I'm out the door!

There's no blistering rock & roll on your "album," Gail. Not even a decent lead guitar solo. Your track list is too languid. Snoozeville. Throw in some torching lead guitar songs--it doesn't matter what--just to vary the tone. Nobody likes a complete diet of old-fashioned Adult Contemporary any more. Shake it up, babe, shake it up. Live a little. Be young, be bright, be mad. Throw that window of yours open & yell, "I'm mad as hell & I'm not gonna take this **** no more!!!"

The songs are a personal choice - I wasn't asking or expecting anyone else to like it. (Other than pointing out a couple of IMO good combinations) The reason that there's no guitar solos is because I don't care for lead guitarists rambling on and on with interminable solos (torching or otherwise).

You think the list is too languid - for who?

But I hope you were expecting replies. Whenever I post on the ledge, I expect replies. I don't always get them, but I always desire them. It's fun to get replies, Gail.

For me? That's why I didn't reply proxy for, say, Patti or Christy.

Spookily enough I didn't make the list for anyone else but me.

I started out by sharing the fact I'd found a couple of (to me) pleasing combinations. I then shared the whole track list in response to a reply.

If you don't like it that's fine, that's up to you - we're all entitled to our opinions.

But please don't tell me what should be on my track list

But what's the point of a message board? I'm not actually forcing you at gunpoint to alter your list. I'm replying to your post because this is a forum for posting & replying. You're not literally being told what to do. You're being replied to.

for example, if I post: "I don't want to see another Meg Ryan movie, ever." And someone replies: "Go see the new movie with Meg Ryan, XXX, because it is outstanding & by missing it you are making a grave mistake & you're a bigger fool than your mama lets on." That person isn't literally giving me an order. It can't be enforced & isn't designed to be enforced. That person is posting a response to something I said. That's called conversation, Gail, & to a very large extent it's expected--even highly desired--on a forum like this.

Little did I know that you posted only for me to read, not to reply to. Had I known, I might have complied!

"You need more bone-crunching lead guitar in your list" actually means (I don't mind interpreting this for you) "As far as I'm concerned, you need more bone-crunching lead guitar."

See how that works? It's cool!!

By purposely omitting "Come" and "Murrow," she's completely eliminated any chance of there being anything "rock" on her "virtual album." And, really, how could anything that's fused to "In the Meantime" be anything but your self-described "snoozeville"?

ITM is pleasant in a soothing, insomnia-curing kind of way but isn't something I'd like to listen to on any kind of regular basis.

As much as I like Friend, I don't think it'd work as an opener for an FM album. For ITM, yeah, because it fits in with the dynamic of the album... But not SYW. I think they'd need a Stevie or Lindsey opening song. I could do without Murrow, but the hormonally charged Lindsey fan in me has to have Come. (heh...)

I agree. I think What's The World Coming To is a great opener even if you squeezed ITM tracks into the album. I have done this, but limited Christine to only 4 tracks of my own Say You Will (Alternate) album.

That's better.

But I think you mean "I need more bone crunching lead guitar" and if you do mean that - that's fine.

Yeah, I really do like WTWCT as an opener either way. I don't know if I'd put Liar on the album at all. I'm surprised Anything Is Possible wasn't on there! I'd include it. As long as we stay away from Bad Journey, since listening to that *is*.

I purposely omitted Come and Murrow because (IMO) they go on so long I lose the will to live about half way through.

Also I saw them do Come at Earls Court and I found Lindsey's antics embarassing

Awwww...NOOOOO! I love Bad Journey. It's on mine. Did I just kill the buzz?
