Re: 70s Cup Round 1 Match 7
I was hoping for an adrenalised track from the Burritos, kinda like Lazy Day, but this was a bit of snooze, pleasant as it was. And it’s against a corker, that I’ve really enjoyed listening to again just there. I can get the fact that MM has become such a canon Mount Rushmore of a record that it might grate to some but it’s great, really.

Obvious as it is it's mercifully free of The Brown Sound.

Well in my world he overplayed song is the Flying Burrito Brothers one. Its a nice Flying B's track and I still like it but would never put it on although wouldn't take it off.
Venus is a classic track from classic album. However, as much as I've liked it and hate it just as much. Television were a good band and wish I did see back in the day, however with me today this is a mood only song.
A - better to drive too

A is lovely; simple and melodic.
But I do like Television.

Like PB I found A just a little too anaemic.
I don't like Marquee Moon anywhere near as much as most do but it's got more than enough here.

A is a pretty rote acoustic number that doesn't really show me anything new.
B has some originality.

Yeah. Strummy guitars, harmonies, all very nice ... but not enough here.

Re: 70s Cup Round 1 Match 7
a - ah, the Burritos and their ode to long-distance driving and/or cocaine and its/their effect on sanity. Even half a century (more or less) ago, I thought this was a bit tame, musically, considering the subject matter. That, ahem, 'mellow' country sound hasn't aged well, has it? Much prefer it when Hillman took over and they rocked out. 4 / 10
b - like all the other hip 28-year-old, I was all over this album when it came out, but I soon tired of it, the angularity and spikes of the sound, like trying to cuddle up to a bag full of spanners, and the dryness of the production. I much preferred Little Johnny Jewel and Adventure, while some of TV's solo work was not bad. That said, this was by a distance my favourite track on the album, but 30-odd years after I last listened to it, I was distinctly less whelmed than then. 4.5 / 10
b, just about

Re: 70s Cup Round 1 Match 7
I listened to A out of courtesy and enjoyed it. But B, while it's not the track I would have chosen, is from what might be my favorite record of the 70s.

I won't ever disown Marquee Moon. It is pretty good without ever being stellar to me. But there is something sweet in A that propels me to vote for it.
