  • Top Artists League - Part One

    25 Apr 2008, 19:04 by Black_Eyed_Siou

    I'm quite bored at the moment, so I've decided to do a league with all the artists that have been in my top 10 weekly charts to date...
    Placings are calculated thusly:
    1st position = 10pts
    2nd position = 9pts
    3rd position = 8pts
    etc etc so the artist/s in 10th position will get a solitary point!
    I haven't thought of anything to make it more interesting yet, so if anybody has any ideas, let me know!

    1. Siouxsie and the Banshees - 206pts
    2. Siouxsie - 137pts
    3. Morrissey - 123pts
    4. The Creatures - 112pts
    5. Nico - 108pts
    6. Kate Bush - 101pts
    7. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - 64pts
    8. The Smiths - 49pts
    9. Klaus Nomi - 47pts
    10. Martha and the Muffins - 39pts
    10. PJ Harvey - 39pts
    12. Jack Penate - 23pts
    13. Björk - 18pts
    14. Dusty Springfield - 17pts
    15. Adam and the Ants - 16pts
    15. The Sisters of Mercy - 16pts
    15. Blood Red Shoes - 16pts

    19. The Glove - 12pts
    20. Lou Reed - 10pts
    21. Girls Aloud - 9pts
    21. The B-52's - 9pts
    23. Robots in Disguise - 8pts

  • My Meltdown

    18 Jun 2007, 21:29 by Grindrod

    Okay, so keystothecity and I were chatting at work today about the Southbank Meltdown festival, and who we would invite to perform if it was up to us. I'm assuming it goes on for 2 weeks, so that's 14 acts. Here's my dream line-up.

    Julee Cruise and Angelo Badalamenti performing those two amazing albums they produced, turning the Southbank into Twin Peaks for the night.

    Altered Images, I'd definitely get them to reform to perform some of my all time favourite pop songs.

    I'd love to get the Pet Shop Boys and The Magnetic Fieldsto perform an evening of Stephen Sondheim songs with an army of guest vocalists and west end Wendys.

    It's be super to get Kraftwerk to perform, but if they couldn't make it, maybe the Balanescu Quartet could perform their rather brilliant string quartet versions of those electro classics.

    I'd love to see Art of Noise perform Close to the Edit live. And imagine seeing Malcom McClaren with them, performing Madame Butterfly and Double Dutch. Amazing!

    Luke Haines needs to be there with Black Box Recorder or The Auteurs, maybe both, I'm not fussy.

    Imagine how great it would be to get some new wave stars out of retirement. I'm seeing an amazing double bill of Lene Lovich and Propaganda.

    I want Richard X and Annie there, maybe with Kelis and Deborah Evans-Strickland from the Flying Lizards for some jerky electropop.

    And we need Beastie Boys to perform Hey Ladies and Body Movin'. Imagine that in the Festival Hall.

    I think an all-star cast needs to sing the Kate Bush songbook, though I may need some suggestions as to who would do it best. I'm thinking Kathryn Williams and Mary Coughlan for starters.

    Saint Etienne, those patron Saints of the Festival Hall, need to perform. I might confine them to a synths only nights, so they do all my faves like Lightning Strikes Twice, Heart Failed In the Back of a Taxi and B92.

    There's no way it could happen without Laurie Anderson adding a bit of minimalist genius to the proceedings.

    Le Tigre vs The Gossip, now that'd be fun!

    And I know Morrissey had them at his Meltdown, but Sparks are such genius live, and I'd get them to perform all of Lil Beethoven, my favourite album of theirs.

    I think that's it. I'd love it. It's maybe lacking a bit of noisy geetar action, some spoken word, but maybe in the foyer there's room for that.

    Bloody hell, I'm knackered. Right, keystothecity, do your worst! Who's at your Meltdown, huh? Less electronic handclaps and orchestra hits, more banjos and viols I'm guessing...
