6th: The Mailbag:
Questions, Comments, Requests, Predictions & Asides
You’re quite correct Lisa-go-Blind. Though the ‘subject, title and theme of both songs are similar, the tune and lyrics are far too different to consider it a cover version. The New York Dolls song credits David Johansen as the composer. The Damned version (Captain Sensible & The Softies), Captain Sensible versions (He gives me Hell) and Elton Motello versions all list Deprijck / Lacomblez & Algy Ward as composers (the latter a member of The Damned & the former a member of Plastic Bertrand).
Welcome to the 6@6 Ivan. I would second it myself – But definitely would have needed a reminder a month after Hugh Jass’ Townes Van Zandt request was set to run.
What a vunderbob suggestion. I like the Arrogant Worms, would definitely have seconded them and run them in the same week as Bob Dylan. However…
I would second all 3 of colour wolf’s requests. Going back to the B’s to squeeze in Billy Bragg & Bad Religion wouldn’t have been a problem. I’m surprised it took as long as it did to hear a request for an Ani DiFranco poll. However…
Welcome & thanks for stopping by Lisa-go-Blind. The Belle & Sebastian poll was quite a long time ago, August 2002 – Just after Storytelling and about a year before the release of Dear Catastrophe Waitress. Links to all the closed polls are (were) available in the weekly Supplemental polls.
I’m nominating The Scrivener for a good taste in music award. I left the dB’s out of the schedule because I didn’t think they would’ve garnered any interest. I would’ve definitely seconded your requests and worked them in with the D artists. As far as the Mekons, Vibrators and XTC requests, I’m sure we would’ve crossed that bridge when we got to it… However…
I would like to thank you, buh-buh-buh-BACON!! for your incredible post. What a great read. Your liner notes and comments were both passionate, ironic and (hauntingly) timely. Spoken word tracks are allowed and I tabulated ‘Corporate Protopop’ accordingly. Sorry you never got a chance to see CSC live. I can’t answer the question about the time signature in Any Day Now but I’ll ask it again for you: Do any of you music theory types or percussionists recognize => this .wma file’s tempo <= as “15/4” time?

The Last Waltz – Official SDMB Administration Request
I never really considered myself the author of these Café Society poll threads. I tabulate the results and start them each week – but felt I should share the administration’s wishes with you: all the authors of the 6@6 polls.
A little history: Back on September 7, when the 6@6 poll threads were closed (after being reported as spam) I sent this response:
Unforunately, 7 weeks and 22 polls later, I received this from the administrators:
My first instinct was to try and limit the 6@6 polls to one per week…until I looked at the tentative schedule and all the new poll requests. If I followed the administration’s limit of one poll thread per week; I’d be doing 3 times the amount of tabulating work. We wouldn’t get to the letter E until 2006. (Counting forward in my head) I’m pretty sure I’d be dead of old age (or posting from a retirement community) before we came close to polling one of my favorite artists: Zappa & The Mothers.
In closing, I want to once again thank everyone who posted to and kept the 6@6 tradition going strong. I never for one minute considered any of the threads as “too similar, very long, nonsense” that “typically get a small number of replies”. Whether or not they were “irritating others” is relative to what type of Café Society threads people have a preference in reading.
I’ve always enjoyed tallying, posting, reading (and then listening / re-listening to) other people’s selections. I normally don’t even mind the mundane task of moving all the data to an off board spreadsheet.
After 92 polls: The fact that 6,927 votes have been cast by 288 different board members for 2,479 songs just amazes me. I’ll admit to being miffed by the staff’s decision – but as most dopers know, the SDMB isn’t a democracy. Thanks to everyone…I’m sure I’ll see most of you in other threads and in other forums.
Keep on Rockin
