Hiya madsters !
I'd just like to comment on the elysium/drip fed
fred discussion; firstly I think that it is absolutely brilliant news about
elysium being the next single, this is a madness masterpiece & it has just
overtaken embarrassment & disappear as my favourite madness song. On the
maddley it was, for me, the bit that stood out & the more I listen to the
album, this song just grows & grows & I think that it has the
potential to be a massive hit, if promoted properly.
On the other hand i'm not so sure about drip
fed fred being the other choice as double A side. I honestly don't see what all
the fuss about this song is, don't get me wrong, I do like the song but I don't
think it is good enough to be a single, especially if we want it to be a hit - I
don't think the general public will take to it & I think I may have some
proof; The other day I was giving a workmate a lift & was playing a
cassette consisting of Wonderful, the rest of the new songs on the singles &
some of Sugg's solo stuff from the three pyramids club, on the way home he told
me that he had been singing madness songs all day & I said I know, they are
infectious aren't they ? & he agreed but he said that there was one song
"did his head in", I asked which one & he said "the one that goes - we
want freddie for our leader" - I rest my case !
OK so the Ian Dury & novelty factors may help
(and I truly hope they do) but I think that a "catchier" song such as saturday
night/sunday morning or the wizard would be a better choice, but then again I'm
also not too struck on B&B man (a "live" favourite) & house of fun ( the
only No 1) ! - so hopefully It's just me !!!
Finally to all going to the newcastle madmeet; "in
geordie town i'll meet you by the underground !" - see ye doon there
!
Bye the noo, Bob W
christmas comes but once a year, it's a time of
love & cheer !
(believe me)
