Quote:Your chance to be in the audience for Way to Blue: the songs of Nick Drake
Way to Blue competition

ABC Radio National will be recording one of the four Australian performances of Way to Blue: The Songs of Nick Drake that will be presented by Sydney Opera House and Melbourne Recital Centre on 11 November and 14-15 November respectively.

You have the chance to be at one of the concerts, accompanied by a friend, and we’ll fly you from any Australian capital city to be in either Sydney on 11 November or Melbourne on 15 November.

To enter the competition, you’ll need to tell us in 25 words or less why you should be at the Way to Blue: The Songs of Nick Drake concert, using the form below.

If any one has an artful twenty five words, I'd be thankful, maybe.

I think this band needs more reconnection. They are amazing and I love their sound and lyrics. This is one of my favs.

One of my favourites is an obscure Roy Orbison song,"The Crowd". I think it may have been a B side on a single.

I don't love it because it's a great song,it isn't. BUT, it showcases Orbison's amazing voice arguably better than any other song he recorded. A music teacher friend told me Orbison hits "E" at the end .

Here's a song from one of my my favourite one-hit wonders that wasn't released as a single:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrJZL77VtCo
It starts slow, but it's worth it.


For what it's worth, I wanted to post a link to a youtube of Thunderclap Newman's "Look Around" or "Wilhelmina," but those songs are so obscure I couldn't find a video of them.

Finnish bands FTW Big Grin

This song would be my pick:

The Offspring - Special Delivery
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

- Dr. Donald Prothero

I remember this song from Beavis and Butthead's riff of it:

Oh, yes, and here's a song from one of ELP's best-selling album that never got released as a single:
