Re: Sublime Moments.
I just posted this on Facebook, but is there another song that better encapsulates how women feel right now? I think not.

Re: Sublime Moments.
I appreciate that you recognize that the best person to capture the situation women find themselves in is a white dude.

(He actually got some shit precisely along those lines at the time, iirc. I like to think genuine empathy and understanding is gender neutral. It's rare, but it exists.)

Re: Sublime Moments.
That bit of Dancing Queen, the second time they sing "on the tambourine, oh yeah." There is this shrill orgasmic note behind the "oh yeah" which I'm not sure is a voice or instrument. Either way it always sends shivers down my spine.
So what does Marconi playing the mamba mean? "Marconi" is referring to the radio itself. It plays a deadly snake. The snake - the mamba - is slithering from the speakers. Ready to kill greedy corporations. Ready to free the world of all that is evil, and to leave behind only the youthful idealism encompassed by the tenets of rock and roll.

Re: Sublime Moments.
I watched a doco about ABBA recording. They talked about the two female vocalists and I wish I could remember (or understand) the technical words but basically the pitch (?) of their 2 voices was different but perfectly matched by some minor musical amount which basically meant they were almost uniquely perfect together.Marky Dread wrote: ↑07 Nov 2017, 8:50pmThey were brilliant singers with fantastic arrangers.Heston wrote: ↑07 Nov 2017, 8:47pmYeah, me too but it is so shrill it's almost like a violin or something.

Lindsey Buckinghams guitar in the outro of “Hold Me” is so sublime!
