What happens here... is you pick any song on the list. For any reason.

Then, you respond, with the reason that you selected it. For example:
"My least favorite on the list"
"My most favorite on the list"
(im hoping it gets more original than the above two sentences)

Go!

I choose Chelsea and Strict Time because they are both specialized ass-kickers.

Running out of Angels because it's my favorite unrecorded demo of EC's. I long to hear a finished, arranged version of this song. Maybe I'll do it myself.

I think you should.

I plan on lining up every drink listed in "The Deportees Club" and drinking them, barely escaping alcohol poisoning.
Too bad I didnt make it a selection.

I like Strict Time because it's got the most tropical sounding guitar. New Amsterdam gives me the most goosebumps and is of course the best of the lot.

I picked New Amsterdam because it has the word Amsterdam in it.

Poor Napoleon.....best song on B&C? Right this minute it is!

You always look so dissapointed...when I take my stockings off!

The shortest of the lot is the best of the lot! Hah, I won't argue against that, I love "New Amsterdam".

PN because it was the final song he played at the Wiltern in '86 -- left the stage in a blanket of feedback. awesome!

Episode of Blonde, for its studied enunciation.

I'll have to agree with that -- he did the same thing in Philadelphia a few weeks later. That version is tied with the Frisell version as my sentimental favorites.

Glitter Gulch because of the wicked James Burton guitar playing!

Home Truth, cause:

- no one else voted for it
- it's an underrated song
- I love singing the harmony on it
- it's the working title of my novel (it won't stick, though)

Episode of Blonde because it rolls so many great EC and Attractions/Imposters elements into it. The sinister intro is faintly reminiscent of "Watching the Detectives" (as I hear it, anyway). He bites, and the song bites but with a lilting melody that I can't get out of my head whenever I hear it.

Did her green eyes seduce you and make you get so weak?
Was there fire engine red that she left upon your cheek?
It's such a shame you had to break the heart
You could have counted on
But the last thing you need is another
...Episode of blonde

Mr. A--why can't you just get to the point? Geez you talk so much. And what you say is flustrating. Quit using such big words.

Not falling for the ruse. WRaH

WHAR, protect your identity. Verify that the IP is not the same as yours.

Pretty infantile stuff. Errr, stop it you, you Poopy-pants!

Mr. Average · Post by **Mr. Average** » Mon Aug 30, 2004 2:12 pm

And then again, WRAH/WHAR, maybe this is just a silly game you are playing to find a new and creative way to slam right-thinking opinions. It will be interesting to see if the IP addresses are one and the same for the two hitters and runners. After all, it is a group, evidenced by "We".

Or is that a subliminal reference to the French....

Poor Napoleon - cause its the one most likely to be stuck in my head for no reason.

Trust me, MR. A, isn't me. Talk to Blue.

I have a hunch it's either you or Jackson. Simply because Jackson is known for his multiple names, annnnnd the signature ofcourse.

Anyway, I want to vote for Home Truth, because of the drum intro.

I picked Poor Napoleon because it has been described as a "Moebius strip." .

I picked Glitter Gluch because I love to sing it while I drive. Once I was at a stop light and I was really getting into it. It was towards the end when EC is singing the hungry parts and I was really screaming the words. Then I look to my left to see two hot girls laughing at me.

I choose New Amsterdam because maybe it is the EC chorus I sing most often. And "Till I step on the brakes to get out of her clutches" is kind of perfect.
