legendary perfect album is just super

It's all about this album, people. I've been telling this since 2004 on this board but back then no one said they agreed or would listen to me:

"THE LEGENDARY CHRISTINE PERFECT ALBUM" IT IS CALLED.

BEG, STEAL OR BORROW.

^^^^ listening to this now. one of my faves.

Vera Farmiga will join Aaron Eckhart in helmer Randall Miller's indie music biopic "The Drummer," about Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson.

Farmiga, who received an Oscar nomination for 2009's "Up in the Air" and recently made her directorial debut with "Higher Ground," will play notable Fleetwood Mac singer-songwriter Christine McVie.

Miller is producing with scribe Jody Savin through their banner Unclaimed Freight Prods.(The pair were behind 2008's indie hit "Bottle Shock.") Music industry vet Brad Rosenberger also produces.

"The Drummer" follows six years in Wilson's life during which he and McVie sparked a passionate and tumultuous relationship before Wilson's death in 1983. Fleetwood Mac's album "Mirage," released in 1982, features the hit song "Hold Me," co-written by McVie and reportedly inspired by her love affair with Wilson.

Farmiga joins the project as a classically trained pianist. "She has a number of duets with Eckhart in the film," Miller noted. "The combination of Aaron and Vera will be pure magic."

Christine McVie rejoins Fleetwood Mac

More than 15 years after announcing her retirement from Fleetwood Mac, Christine McVie is back in the fold. According to Fleetwood Mac News, Mick Fleetwod confirmed McVie’s return during a concert in Maui on Saturday night, telling the audience,”This is the worst kept secret there is, but Christine McVie will be rejoining Fleetwood Mac.”

Last September, McVie reunited with her former bandmates in Fleetwood Mac during a concert in London. In a subsequent interview with the Guardian, she expressed a desire to rejoin the band permanently. “I like being with the band, the whole idea of playing music with them,” McVie explained. “I miss them all. If they were to ask me I would probably be very delighted… but it hasn’t happened so we’ll have to wait and see.”

In response to McVie’s comments, Stevie Nicks told Billboard, “If Chris wants to come back to the band, I said to her, ‘It’s your band. I don’t really think you have to ask. Because it’s your band. McVie. Fleetwood Mac-vie? So, it all depends, Chris, on you. How you feel. Do you want to take this on again?’”

Fleetwood Mac is currently on a temporary hiatus as McVie’s ex-husband, John, is being treated for cancer. In an interview with Rolling Stone last week, Nicks said John is “gonna be fine, adding, “He’s got his treatment, and now he did a show on the 30th and 31st, another tomorrow night, then he has surgery next week. . . I’m not the least bit worried about John. He’s very, very strong and a man of very few words. He’s not a person to mess with.”

Here we are!

'You Make Loving Fun' is one of my favourite songs of all time at this point.

have mercy, baby!

I'm surprised you have 'Brown Eyes' so high above the likes of 'Over and Over', 'Little Lies', 'Songbird', 'Everywhere' etc. It's an amazing production (the drum sound alone is pure ear candy, and those harmonies) but as a song it's a mere wisp of a thing. Even so, I find it to be a highlight of Tusk.

With "Brown Eyes/Never Make Me Cry" song and arrangement are inseparable, as they often are in 90 percent of scenarios.

I agree with the first part, disagree with the second part.

Alas, RIP

Oh, fuck no.

horrible. such a wonderful songwriter

you made loving fun

Aw, man

And the songbirds are singing,
Like they know the score

I loved her.

mule otm.

Maybe Alfred will have words for this... right now it's beyond me

I feared the worst when I saw this thread suddenly revived.

I'm off to spin "Hold Me" and "Everywhere" on repeat until the end of time.

Loved her, the magic ingredient that gave the classic lineup richness and depth to go with Nicks' sparkle and Buckingham's energy.

And not only in her own songs but also her harmonies and keyboard.

wonderful musician. RIP Christine

rip, this one makes me sad

i was just the other week checking out her stuff with chicken shack - her version of "i'd rather go blind" is stunning

Now I know how the sun must feel every time it sets :-(

Such a great singer and songwriter (and pretty decent keyboardist) who often seemed to get overshadowed by her bandmates. RIP

oh no

how the HELL is John McVie still alive

for my money she has the best songs on their best albums. RIP

I was hoping "Everywhere" would get its "Running Up That Hill" earlier this season. It and Tusk's "Never Forget" got a lot of rooftop play in NYC and Chicago about 15 years ago as part of Balearic mixes.

I think the song is in a prominent Chevy ad right now?

Damn, she was my favorite of the FM frontpeople. Loved her songs so much. Rest in peace.

xp Indeed, I see it every time I watch TV

That's I alluded to. I hoped for crossover

rip, such a talent. so many of their very best moments were hers

“everywhere” was the recessional song at our wedding. RIP

The author of "Little Lies" is dead.

Could it really, really be?

If y'all want an unheralded example of what she could do with voice and piano, check this out:

That's lovely. Here's one of my favorites.

And the songbirds are singing,
Like they know the score

just thinkin bout “songbird” atm.. *tears*

My favorite version: her voice higher, slightly ragged, but so damn pure. A pro.

I've only two words, "Brown Eyes".

What A (Albeit Unintentional) Way To Sign Off!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH83Y20y70U

You opened the door
And I stepped in
Not knowing where I'm going
But I know I'm gonna win
I can fly again
Got the freedom in my mouth
Travellin' girl is movin' north, west, east, and south

I want it all

Omg the wordless chorus of Brown Eyes, geez
