Guest rachel Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Mike - the next poll will be around how the Carstairs was first discovered - two very different stories there too..... Do elaborate... The poll was biased from the start giving too many options! I felt that this complex issue required a wide range of possible responses, tomorrow's final results will be subject to thorough statistical analysis to give an accurate and fair representation of the situation.

Steve G Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Do elaborate... Story 1 is something like: "I was driving in my car (when I was 16-ahem) and this record came on the radio.....I just had to get it so I went and traced down the radio station and got them to look up the playlist, and find the record. I got the details of the label but when I rang them I found they had gone bust about 6 months previously" Story 2 is something like "I found it in the 50p bin at Soul Bowl" Sorry, as always I am being a bit mischevous Rachel.

Guest rachel Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Well, after three days, the results are in - around 67% of the voters have positive views about the record, about 19% are neutral, leaving 14% who have good taste, er I mean, dislike it Taking this out of a total membership of 3881, it could be said that about 3% like this record, while 0.3% of the forum members think they're Pete Smith...

Tomangoes Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 The thing is that everybody will dislike some records that the majority like. In the same way everybody will like some records that the majority dislike. There lies the greatness of this scene, where musical preference opinions 'should' be respected. This particular song did open the door to a change in style from the traditional 60s Detroit / Motown / Stax sound, in a similar way that today some of the stuff played at a Northern Soul event is way too slow or too rock and roll to have been considered 30 years ago. In any case, like it or not, it will always be an important part of the scenes history. Personally as long as I only hear it 2 or 3 time a year, its always welcome.

Guest Black Gold of the Sun Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Channel Four Film: reviewed by Mel-vin Brat CARSTAIRS-PLAY Based on the Book "GOODBYE TO BORIN' (oldies)" by Christopher Isherwood A harrowing tale of blind intolerance and grossly bad taste set against the backdropping antics of the German Vee-Jay Republic of 1919-1933. The film is set around a North Berlin Soul club, where self-absorbed Silly Bowlegs persues her career as a All-Night Cabaret DJ, seemingly unaware of the growing mayhem encroaching on her lifestyle. The hyper-inflation of rare-Soul prices, and mass unemployment in record pressing plants creates an climate where extremism thrives. Anything seen as remotely "Modern" is anethema to a small-minded group of brainless neo-fascists in baggy trousers who rampage around "pretending" to smash up any record that doesn't fit the definitions of 'das Uber-Northern', as laid down by their delusional, self-proclaimed "Fuerer" in his semi-literate booklet 'Mein Kopf Hurts, Duhh!' The film's poignant theme song perfectly evokes the sultry, emotion-charged atmosphere of the Vee-Jay Republic, as the whole scene slides (with the aid of copius amounts of talc!), inexorably toward mind numbing banality, and a new dark age threatens to submerge all that is even remotely soulful and replace it with "rare" uptempo pop tunes and jack-bootlegs... Too near the truth mate! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
