David, what are you doing ???? You should have voted for D.W. Suite to be immune. Well, since the gawd awful Play in the Rain part 1 is no longer immune, I hope it gets eliminated!!! woo.

Did you guys voting for "Slow Dancing" forget that Play in the Rain part 1 is still in the running?!

What are you talking about...you are the walking encyclopedia. I thought I was a fan....but I have no flippin clue what the answers to these questions are.

No, I prefer BOTH "Play In The Rain"s over "Slow Dancing".

save play in the rain please

please people, nobody's waiting for angry posts about understanding Lindsey's art again, and voting in his spirit on a game at his side of the board about his art. And for you who writes those: don't feel offended, I agree. I'm just sick of those preaching posts.

I suppose I could sum up my views thus, Chili: The track has orchestral strengths, undoubtedly. It's just that the textuality presupposes a certain static yet pre-lingual obsession with naive sexual guilt & hegemonic discrimination. It turns in on itself in an endless dismantling of its craving for origins: truth & presence. But outside this metaphysics of presence, the song seems too encased in its receding aporia, & I can't help thinking that Lindsey is fixated on the epoch of the full speech, suspended from the metal strings of his Turner Model 1 between a free reflection on the origin of writing-qua-writing & the subsuming of that fixated transcendence.

So, as you can see, I really had to vote it out.

Sorry, sweetie. You know, I was going to post the question, "What did Lindsey say an entire album of songs like Play in the Rain would be?" But I thought that would be too pointed, as his answer was "self-indulgence."

last round was the first time I answered correctly. just because I've studied art half of my life I knew that answer without searching. The only thing that frightened me is that I even reminded the original Norwegian Title of that artwork: "skrik".

Would it change your mind if I told you he didn't PLAY his M1 on "Loving Cup"?

that one I would have known immediately!
And I even agree with that. But I'm sure he'll frown a brow when he sees his FANS vote such songs of so early. I KNOW that you agree with me on that.

Me, too.

"Play in the Rain," after all, is the only link this album has with the work of Varèse & Salzedo. If we get rid of it, there goes the only connection in all of Lindsey Buckingham's music to the pioneers of the "Liberation of Sound" movement & their break from European influences & their paralysis of the tempered system.

Might Varèse actually have been speaking for Lindsey Buckingham, when he told a group of students & professors in 1939: "When you listen to music, do you ever stop to realize that you are being subjected to a physical phenomenon? Not until the air between the listener's ear and the instrument has been disturbed does music occur. In order to anticipate the result, a composer must understand the mechanics of the instruments and must know just as much as possible about acoustics. I need an entirely new medium of expression: a sound producing machine (not a sound reproducing one)"?
