OH WOW what an amazing start to the season!!!!!! we're off to a flying start and it's only the beginning of day one! i've actually only had time to watch and comment on a few of the vids so far! will catch up asap on the rest, can't wait to listen! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH, and hats off to everyone who doesn't know roxy music from a hole in the ground, but are leaping into this new music with such enthusiasm!
no one is gonna be disqualified for being keen, or doing such an amazing job of covering a band they never heard of before! i really hope you'll bring more songs this week, that was so lovely!
i really love tennyson's poems, and he wrote alot about arthur and avalon. it's all dashing knights and lovely ladies and clanking armour and bold deeds and wotnot. also check out pre-raphealite art, which i also love, lots of pictures of arthurian characters and stories.
or of course do what roxy music did, write about any old thing you fancy, and bung the word "avalon" at the top! this is their song...!
Now the party's over
I'm so tired
Then I see you coming
Out of nowhere
Much communication in a motion
Without conversation or a notion
Avalon
When the samba takes you
Out of nowhere
And the background's fading
Out of focus
Yes the picture changing
Every moment
And your destination
You don't know it
Avalon
When you bossa nova
There's no holding
Would you have me dancing
Out of nowhere
Avalon
not a bold knight in sight! outrageous!
