Blog: I Said "Thematic"
Another milestone FLASHES by this evening, as I've just got the whole darn album onto one single CD, for the first time EVER. I am EXCITED! ALSO, while i was at it, I worked out a whole new running order. Last time i did it just thinking what might sound nice together, and trying to avoid having songs about the same thing next to each other - there are a LOT of songs about the same thing! However, this time i have EMBRACED the THEMATIC nature of the WORK, and put it into two sections, as follows:
Part One:
- Things'll Be Different When I'm In Charge
- The Symbol Of Our Nation
- (insert title here)
- Falling For Trust
- Last Orders
- The Girl Who...
- Holdalls Is The New Name For Midland Mainline Lost Property
- Good Cooking
- Fat Was A Feminist Issue
Part Two:
- The Back Of The Sofa
- Make The World Go Blind
- Nothing In Common, Except, Maybe...
- You Will Be Hearing From My Solicitor
- BBC2 (A New Hope)
- Post-Subsonic Bass
- Everything's Turning Out All Right (everything)
- Easily Impressed
- One Last Party
I know it won't mean much if you haven't heard any of the songs, and I haven't listened to it myself yet, but it's GRATE to be at this particular stage in the proceedings, trying to work out what goes where, and how. Next step - THE COVER!
