The Frog's straight out of the Bill Drummond book, isn't it. Combine two hugely irritating pieces of music over a dance beat, et voila, number 1.

I'm very impressed with the new Eels album (after not warming too much to the previous two), from which they did a couple of songs (Railroad Man and Hey Man; wouldn't have been my requests, but still okay), plus one from - I think - Souljacker (Bus Stop Boxer). Frank Black performed I Burn Today (?) solo on acoustic guitar. I don't often catch Later, but it feels like every time I do Van Morrison's on. And is that a slight lift from Single K.O. on Kaiser Chiefs' I Predict a Riot? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 31 May 2005 18:16:18 +0100 From: "Keith A" Subject: [idealcopy] Fw: trampolene Read this on the Julian Cope website. Guess someone should have pointed out that tiny children have a way of falling down.... As many of you know I have my own little online homage to Mr. Cope called Trampolene (http://www.trampolene.ca) and this morning I got a notification of someone posting a message on the message board. It a serious post I guess, but it still made me smile: Name: glenda Message: My son & his family just purchased a backyard trampolene. First day, my grandson sprained his ankle. Is there safety advise for first time user children? Are there instructions somewhere? She probably should have scrolled down and read what the other posts were about, but I don't have the heart to tell her that she should be doing a search on Trampoline (not Trampolene). ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 31 May 2005 18:52:38 EDT From: HowardJSpencer@aol.com Subject: [idealcopy] Re: Re: Penguin Cafe Orchestra Obscure fact re the PCO: they did a live(ish) performance of Music for a Found Harmonium on the Wogan show in 1984 or 5.

I swear I was there and would have been 7 years old...the B video looked strangely familiar when I saw it on the 'Free Speech' CDR thing. If I did see it at age 7 it would have looked/sounded entirely reasonable to me as a child brought up on 'Vision On' and eerie schools programmes soundtracked by Delia Derbyshire & BBC Radiophonic Workshop. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 01 Jun 2005 02:55:59 +0100 From: Tim Subject: [idealcopy] From Vienna to Crazy Frog MarkBursa@aol.com wrote: >>>actually i can already see that this will be coldplay's crowning glory and > > the one thing they're remembered for in 10 years time. you know , i could > warm to that frog.......p<< > > > Very true - in the same way that Midge-era Ultravox are remembered for > Vienna being kept off No 1 by Joe Dolce's Shaddup ya face (or was it Renee & > Renato?) > I kind of like Vienna...the 8 year old me dug the synths, the pencil moustache on Ure, the violin solo and the absurd, Europhile loftiness of it all. It was Joe Dolce who kept it off No.1!, interrupting a run of Lennon No.1s. (Imagine, Woman & Jealous Guy). Not sure if this was a Blatant cash in or were these for charidee? Any Beatlogists out there? In the same year, No.1s included 'Don't You Want Me' by The Human League, 'Tainted Love' by Soft Cell, 'Prince Charming' by Adam Ant & 'Ghost Town' by The Specials. OK there was also The Police and Julio Inglasias but fuck me I'd rather listen to both on repeat for 24 hours than ever see or hear crazy frog and his cheap, nasty animated evil fuckwit pals again. = > > The Frog's straight out of the Bill Drummond book, isn't it.

Delia Derbyshire's orgasmic arrangement of the Dr Who theme tune...and Gary Glitter's 'Rock & Roll Pt 1'. Crazy Frog is a the shittiest, most anodine, most cynical, most moronic piece of Marketing ever. Everyone involved should be sent to Camp X-Ray and forced to watch to their 'efforts' on an endless tape loop...for eternity. The 'concept' behind the huge-eyed irritating frog and his hen/dragon pals is that If you advertise something 3 times every ad-break on Sky, Living TV, Channel 5...and now..gulp Channel 4 lots of other channels people will eventually give in and buy it....mostly Children. I have never ever witnessed anything so pointless and idiotic be advertised so relentlessly in such a banal and ruthless fashion. I hope kids have the sense to pull up their hoodies and see it for the cretinous crap that it is. Mind you, at least they're not listening to fucking Coldplay!!!! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 01 Jun 2005 03:37:53 -0400 From: PaulRabjohn@aol.com Subject: Re: [idealcopy] Penguin Cafe and Newman on Swap Shop >> One to treasure alongside the appearance of the 'B' video on Multi-Coloured >> Swap Shop. >> >> Howard > >Is this for real?
