It's an utter whisp of a performance (everybody's playing as if they don't want to wake a sleeping baby) but the melody for Sambadrome is actually pretty great and the lyrics have that likable glancing Strummer imprint.

Holy shit, that's funny.
I voted for it as well. I haven't listened in forever, but I remember it being quite the clunker.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Dial-a-Hitman here. I get bored with the sample.

Funny, this news got posted in my department's IM channel at work and I replied "a chilling look at my future."

Re: BAD SURVIVAL POLL - No 10 UPPING ST Round 2
I hear that, but the concept of a fake sample from a non-existent movie is a brilliant concept. Getting Hollywood actors who'd both go onto greater heights to perform it was a very neat trick too.

Yeah, I like the sample and the way the music trundles on behind it with that harmonica sound.Silent Majority wrote: ↑17 May 2019, 1:07pmI hear that, but the concept of a fake sample from a non-existent movie is a brilliant concept.

What I don't like about the track is that stupid digital beat that can never decide if it's in time or not. I still hear it and and despair at the decision to add it. It knocks the track off-kilter and is totally unnecessary.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: BAD SURVIVAL POLL - No 10 UPPING ST Round 2
Some of Mick's phrasing is a little demo like. While it's technically very well sung, I can't help but feel it doesn't hit the possible definitive vocal performance. It might be that the emphasese are in what sounds like the wrong place.Heston wrote: ↑17 May 2019, 1:14pmYeah, I like the sample and the way the music trundles on behind it with that harmonica sound.Silent Majority wrote: ↑17 May 2019, 1:07pmI hear that, but the concept of a fake sample from a non-existent movie is a brilliant concept.

Re: BAD SURVIVAL POLL - No 10 UPPING ST Round 2
Per my above post, for me, that's exactly the wrong way to hit that line. I'd like to hear it with a slightly unhinged casualness, not like a Gilbert & Sullivan romantic lead.oliver wrote: ↑17 May 2019, 1:19pmWorth keeping just for the way Mick sings: Did a job in GeorgiaHeston wrote: ↑17 May 2019, 1:14pmYeah, I like the sample and the way the music trundles on behind it with that harmonica sound.Silent Majority wrote: ↑17 May 2019, 1:07pmI hear that, but the concept of a fake sample from a non-existent movie is a brilliant concept.

The reason I know you don't is that you wouldn't speak to me if you knew the things I really got up to.

Can you be sure?

Sticking with HB.
Sambadrome is amazing, shame it's on its way so early by the looks of it.
