the best Weller-but-not-by-Weller song is this by The Chords "I swallow my dreams like my beer" "cos nothing new happens here"

liminal land

"Down in the Tubeway Station at Midnight" is one of the my favorites - Weller said it was his attempt to do a Play for Today in three minute pop but there's things about it that puzzle me he's bringing a curry home for the wife and then are planning to eat at, what, getting on for 1-AM? that...

lyrically this is a great portrait of his dad, and the playing on it is sublime

Davey Payne's sax playing is great (and I don't even care for the saxophone much) roland kirk-style playing two horns at once in the middle of 'hit me with your rhythm stick' freeform howls in 'dance of the screamers'

Reconstruction or Partition, these are the options federal troops overseeing election process OR relocation of population to separate federations of compatible-reality states

it was very clever of Savage to take the negative phrase and ambiguate it so that it could be about England's dissident dreamers

Is that meant to be "God Save ... Windowlene"? "we are the romance behind the screen" is an intriguing line that never made it to the final cut

what's the thinking with the taking off of the silver medals immediately they are put on?

both Mark and Kodwo respond to jungle etc etc almost entirely as recordings. Hence the relapse into auteurism (but curiously it's an auteurism without any interest in the biographic - the ornery uniqueness of a personality, the life circumstances that led to these odd misshapen beings called...

this has the needy vocal and the dreaminess - at first - but then gets ravey - plus the lyric is short and ambiguous (could be about a chemical craving)

wasn't specifically thinking of lovers rock, just anything in jungle that could be plausibly taken as love song this is borderline - could be a paean to a lover, could be a paean to a pill

forgot about this - from this very year - (my son put me onto this) - someone superimposing a very pretty pop song (about luv) over Adam F's "Circles"

this is more like - went with the still-sounds-like-phuture remix rather than the (almost-as-fab) original never really saw the point of Mary J. Blige until this tune but that said, it's never made me properly investigate her uuuurv either

perhaps a bit too obvious given that it's a cover of a great lovelorn Rose Royce song

actually now I think about it that is virtually a sexual instruction / request c.f. Pointer Sisters "Slow Hand"

is how I described 2step but what about examples of jungle that is romantic or sexy? NOT including songs where a diva sample is very clearly being used to refer to Ecstasy e.g. "Finest Illusion" rather songs construably about being in love rather than being luv'dup here's one to start with

"All tracks recorded in 3-D Sound" - never noticed that claim before.
