A guy at my work used to say anything particularly poor or disappointing was "angin'" (short for "a hanging offence", I guess).
That Kevin Keegan song? Angin'. Kept us waiting far too long for the chorus, and when it finally got to that bit it basically turned into If You Can't Give Me Love (as if it wasn't bad enough already). Beckenbauer sounds like Chet Baker by comparison.
The Morricone instrumental is great, although the modulations get a bit bonkers - it sounds a bit like he nodded off part way through and carried on composing in his sleep. The Rod Argent one's not bad, either - more music in there than was strictly necessary! Good to get the Argent namecheck, too - I was quite into them way back.
"so if we knock two off either end you’re looking at 16 World Cups. Maybe that’s too brutal"
I bloody hope so – this is my sixteenth, and I haven't even got my state pension yet. To be fair my first was '66, and all I remember about that is who won (I've still got an 'overprint' stamp somewhere).
Thanks for sharing the video of you playing with the Animals, i loved your solo, you sound great! You may have been happier with the second night, but there’s plenty to enjoy in this one too. Sometimes it takes other people listening to remind us of what's good about our own playing! Stop being harsh on yourself, my friend!!
As for the worldcup songs i'd like to share two very popular Uruguayan songs i think you’d enjoy, they're simple, but i think it represents us very well.
Maz ana Nicky doing It Wasn't Me has made my Saturday.
I genuinely look forward to your weekly Substack Christian... And this Saturday's disappoint. An alluring blend of pub philosophy, homespun cultural theory and witty turns of phrase. Bravo.
Cheers Christian. I'm off to me Mam's for a bit shortly, then I reckon I'll go down the pub and get stinking rotten drunk.
