They're fun, and smart, and maybe the critics like the way Utopia Parkway is a concept album. More mystifying to me is how many in the power pop crowd disliked the Jason Falkner album, which I think is much better than FoW. - - Steve _______________ We're all Jesus, Buddha, and the Wizard of Oz! - Andy Partridge ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2000 22:53:36 -0500 From: Jon Fetter Subject: Re: Ghost Songs Steeleye Span's "King Henry." They do another on "All Around My Hat," the title of which escapes me, concerning a woman's three sons who go to sea, get killed, and come back one night to tell her they're dead and won't need their stuff anymore. B.O.C.'s "Joan Crawford," though I don't believe they say what form she's taken--ghost, revenant, or body of a beetle. Jethro Tull's "Stormwatch" has "Old Ghosts" and "Flying Dutchman." Boy-Gee, that's reaching. Jon >--- Michael R Godwin wrote: > >> How many other ghost songs can you think of?

Only a retard would slurp up such crud and I will tell U why, it is because of one scene. The scene where Sadam and Satan are in hell and U can see Jerry Garcia in Hell. That part was ignorant, lame and just stupid. Of course Jerry went to heaven, duh. Don't even mess with that one. If you did not leave the theatre when that scene came up, I say your whole life is worthless. You assholes are just Taco Humping Spewballs.

Personally Ilove the latter because it's one of those cases where the song is good enough, then you get three part Eno harmonies on the last chorus raising it into the realms of the sublime. Haven't heard much oif their recent work, but some of their earlier efforts, such as Seven, are also worth a listen. I see that Glen beat me with the Godley & Creme answer. Is the room ready for Barry? BTW, the song that Mike is thinking of is "Under your thumb". Another great ghost song is the title track (ISTR) of John Cale's immensely good "Paris 1919" album. There's also Kate Bush's "Watching you without me", Tori Amos's "Happy Phantom", and undoubtedly a few others (finally managed to get Tori & Kate into the same sentence where they belong!). >There's a very chilling song on the Byrds "5th Dimension" called something >like "I >Stand At Every Door", written from the perspective of a child killed at >Hiroshima. >Although, the lyrics are not by any of the Byrds, it is someone else's >poem they >set to music. there's a great version of that done by someone like Dead Can Dance, ISTR (dang, my memory's just about shot today!)
