The UnLaoised Oldfartometer - 29 October
Jim has published
his Phantom playlist from last Saturday night. Twenty
nine tracks, which gives me 580 points to aim for.
One point awards (Heard of artist in question, but know little or nothing about them):
Cathy Davey (good old Cathy, good for a point every week. Maybe I should get her album and that one point increases tenfold straight away.)
William S. Burroughs (assuming that this is the writer WSB, not that I have ever read anything by him.)
Vic Chesnutt
Josh Ritter (I have heard his stuff played on the radio many times, but nothing has ever stuck.
Five point awards (Know at least one song by the artist in question):
Grace Jones
Ten point awards (Own a recording by the artist in question, or have seen them live, but not both):
None
Twenty point awards (Own a recording by the artist in question, and have seen them live):
Cowboy Junkies (I have six of their albums, and have seen them live four times)
Also, I'm going to correct Jim on the name of the song - it's "Dreaming My Dreams With You", and for that little bit of pedantry, I'm going to claim another ten points.
Total for this week: 39
