I only just realised it sounds like they're doing early Beatles harmonies.

kraudive, Saturday, 16 November 2013 00:31 (ten years ago) link

Sent!

He got...JACKED UP!!!!! (WilliamC), Saturday, 16 November 2013 00:36 (ten years ago) link

sent, I couldn't finish ordering although I know it'll be the difference between my favourites making it or not

Shakey - I'm not sure why you're only asking about those tunes. They are another two on my list where I'd insist VU VERSION!

thanks anyway. Awesome job you're doing.

kraudive, Saturday, 16 November 2013 00:43 (ten years ago) link

which ones? satellite of love?

Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Saturday, 16 November 2013 00:49 (ten years ago) link

Thank you for doing this, Shakey. Can't wait for results!

Iago Galdston, Saturday, 16 November 2013 00:52 (ten years ago) link

I Can't Stand It and Ocean were recorded for Lou's first solo album. I didn't mean those versions.

I don't know. Asking people which version they mean seems a bit odd.

kraudive, Saturday, 16 November 2013 00:55 (ten years ago) link

Sent.

Kent Burt, Saturday, 16 November 2013 01:00 (ten years ago) link

I can't send it anymore

Into The Disco Mystic (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 16 November 2013 01:19 (ten years ago) link

But if Shakey you would just come back it would be all right.

famous for hits! (seandalai), Saturday, 16 November 2013 01:52 (ten years ago) link

It's groovy

Mark G, Saturday, 16 November 2013 01:54 (ten years ago) link

Oops accidentally deleted all the VU votes. Guess this is gonna be a solo careers only poll after all!

Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Saturday, 16 November 2013 01:54 (ten years ago) link

ha! my Gonna Have A Real Good Time Together was actually a vote for the Street Hassle version. Hmm.

Sorry Shakey, I guess this is what happens with ILM polls. And I why I never put myself forward to do a Coil one. Best of luck. Do what the fuck you want; it'll be lovely.

kraudive, Saturday, 16 November 2013 02:00 (ten years ago) link

When is the rollout, Shakey, Monday?

Iago Galdston, Saturday, 16 November 2013 17:59 (ten years ago) link

Will probably start monday afternoon

Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Saturday, 16 November 2013 18:00 (ten years ago) link

thanks

Iago Galdston, Saturday, 16 November 2013 18:01 (ten years ago) link

B-b-but don't you think it should really start Sunday Morning?

Into The Disco Mystic (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 16 November 2013 18:01 (ten years ago) link

'Monday Afternoon' would have been a shit album opener

Bridge of Size (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Saturday, 16 November 2013 19:20 (ten years ago) link

Shoulda made it "Farm Machinery Music" but I got tired of messing with it.

He got...JACKED UP!!!!! (WilliamC), Saturday, 16 November 2013 19:52 (ten years ago) link

Ha

Into The Disco Mystic (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 16 November 2013 20:48 (ten years ago) link

Finish it why not

Mark G, Saturday, 16 November 2013 21:26 (ten years ago) link

You won't regret it

Into The Disco Mystic (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 16 November 2013 22:47 (ten years ago) link

Just do what you feel most.

Into The Disco Mystic (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 16 November 2013 23:14 (ten years ago) link

Put Jerry on your shoulder.

Seems that Farm Machinery Music is on the charts in Japan

(roffling at put Jerry on your shoulder, not my own post)

Into The Disco Mystic (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 17 November 2013 00:08 (ten years ago) link

Jerryboat Bill won't you please come home...

kornrulez6969, Sunday, 17 November 2013 03:31 (ten years ago) link

But if Jerry Reed would just come back it would be all right.

Into The Disco Mystic (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 17 November 2013 03:42 (ten years ago) link

I wanna talk to that Jerry Reed, man, why'd he throw a capo during "Okie"?

Into The Disco Mystic (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 17 November 2013 03:51 (ten years ago) link

I did not actually vote in this poll for reasons I will explain later and will no doubt be chastised for by Shakey, but that will not stop from kibitzing during the rollout, which I'd like to think is the way Lou would have wanted it.

Into The Disco Mystic (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 17 November 2013 07:18 (ten years ago) link

okay voting is closed - 43 ballots total received. I'll start a results thread shortly

Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 18 November 2013 17:22 (ten years ago) link
