Buttons & Zips is a track on Elbow's Cast Of Thousands album.
Cast Of Thousands is also the name of The Adverts' second album. The Adverts' first nationwide tour poster read "The Adverts know one chord, the Damned know three. See all four at " In 1984, The Damned appeared on the BBC sitcom The Young Ones. The Young Ones' punk metal character, Vyvian Basterd, was played by Adrian Edmondson. In 2008 Adrian formed the band, The Bad Shepherds, with Maartin Allcock, Andy Dinan & Troy Donockley. The Bad Shepherds' album, Yan, Tyan, Tethera, Methera! includes a cover of The Jam's - Down In The Tubestation At Midnight! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There's No Other Way - Blur Dream Catch Me - Newton Faulkner |

There's No Other Way - Blur
Dream Catch Me - Newton Faulkner The video for the song There's No Other Way famously featured a food fight between the band and family members, including a giant Blancmange at the end. Blancmange were a British New Wave band who came to prominence with a string of hits in the early to mid 1980s including their cover of Abba's "The Day Before You Came" ABBA was an abbreviation of the first letters of each members name, in the same way that 3D stands for 3rd Dimension. Robert "3D" Del Naja is a founder member of Bristol trip-hop collective Massive Attack - their best album Mezzanine featured the classic hit Teardrop. The same song appeared on Newton Faulkner's 2007 hit album, Hand Built By Robots. The third single released from this album was Dream Catch Me and made number 7 in the UK charts... I thank you.

Blue Savannah - Erasure
Blue is a colour, with a spectral wavelength of roughly 440490 nm In physics, wavelength is commonly designated by the Greek letter lambda (λ). Instead of using a monogram, the sign for lambda (λ) was used by Louis XIII of France as his personal symbol. Louis XIII is the king referenced in Dumas' epic tale of chivalry - "The Three Musketeers" A Musketeer not only had to carry a musket, but gunpowder, balls, a selection of tools (these things always went wrong) and a ramrod A rod is a distance of measurement (16.5 ft long). In a quaint old piece of English nonsense, 4 Rods is the exact distance that two batsmen need to cover to get one run. Run To The Hills - Iron Maiden * * * * * * * * Mad Mad Moon - Genesis My Bucket's Got A Hole In It - Hank Williams Junior |

One of Judy's biggest hits was the tuly awful "Send in the Clowns". One of the funniest parts of a Clowns act is when they pretend to throw a bucket of water over the crowd but more often than not it has either glitter or nothing inside it. If there's no water in the bucket then we safely assume there must be a hole in it and therefore.... My Bucket's Got A Hole In It - Hank Williams Junior there you go, worth the 3 month wait ?? hardly Bentley Rhythym Ace - Bentley's Gonna Sort You Out Steps - One For Sorrow |
