:: The Shattered Room ::

My beloved, hard-working progband CRUSTY DISHCLOTH are as I type, in the studio working diligently on their second album, a follow up to the stunning "TWITCHIN' IN THE KITCHEN".

We have several working titles for this difficult second outing, and would welcome the views of the denizens of these hallowed fora to help us decide.

Incidentally, the name CRUSTY DISHCLOTH was chosen in a poll of the members of the Genesis message boards, so you will be following a grand tradition here.

I voted 'Reminded in Custardy'.

If I'm not mistaken this is a wordplay with 'custard' and 'custody'... but I must say that 'Malevolence of Moths' is really the runner-up here. Was a hard decision for me!

Yes, Peter, correct.  Wordplay is a disease that I caught off Peter Gabriel and Fish in the early eighties and has remained one of my afflictions ever since.  Besides, custard is delicious!  8)

I voted for the "Last Dalek on Earth" - especially after it was killed during last Saturday's Dr Who....  ;)

Which was precisely where we got the idea from ...

Xanxa's Shoe Fetish??

Do you have a shoe fetish then? ???

I went for Reminded In Custardy, as it was a trifle better than the others...  ;D

I voted: In, out then in again through the Revolving Door, I thought that was a funny title, but I think the title has got something tot do with what's the album about, if I knew that I might have chosen some other title.

Well the album is basically a three week concept about the trials and tribulations of a red and white striped deckchair on Brighton beach, which falls in love with a sardine leaping in Portsmouth Harbour.  Tragically, the sardine ends up as the main course in Neal Morse's famous restaurant The Sardinium (Portsmouth harbour branch).  There are two other branches, Southampton (run by Martin Orford) and Bristol Harbour (run by Chip Winterweed).  The deckchair mounts a rescue mission with the help of an umbrella but the umbrella gets run over by an Eddie Stobart lorry carrying shrink wrapped sardines to the Sardinium ...

I'd better stop there, I'm coming over all emotional!  :'(

erm ... ever so slightly ...

My Dad used to call me Emelda Marcos back in the eighties!

After reading Your story I would name it: The story of the Sardine & the Dekchair
Would that be a good name or maybe too simple, too close to the story You told.
Other name:               The cruelty of men to Fish
Let me think............... The Journey of the Sardine
or.                             The lovestory of the Sardine & Dekchair

Well I don't know, You'd better pick a name of You list, I think those are better. ??? ???

Have you been at our stash box again my beloved. ;) :-*

What the **** is a deckchair?

What the **** is a deckchair?

Peter, a deckchair is a foldable chair with a wooden frame and usually a canvas seat.  You will see them at typical English seaside resorts such as Blackpool, Margate, etc.  Usually, they are for rent, and a ticket seller comes around and makes you buy a ticket if you are sitting in one.  You can buy your own of course, and the ones you get in shops are usually nicer and more comfortable than the rented ones.

But the ones that you get in shops are inflatable, whereas the rented ones are the real-deal...

Er...

Sorry...

What was the question again...?

It was about a love relation between a dekchair and a fish.

Geeee, that makes the whole story a whole lot ... errr, crazier than I even thought it was.

Welcome to a Prog-Forum...  :D

Actually you can purchase sort of plastic deckchairs from places like Homebase, B&Q, etc, or for those living across the pond (not the one with the thin ice on) mayhap in the Home Depot or Crappy Tyre!!

Personally I prefer those shiny metal chairs that one often sees outside cafes in fine weather, much beloved in France, Italy, etc.  they look really cool but are extremely uncomfortable to park one's well-proportioned posterior on to partake of a rastachino or something!

Are those chairs also comfortable for a Sardine???

Only if you place them underwater. Sardines don't like lying in the sun.

Back to "Shifting deck-chairs on the Titanic"...?

Cool name for a 2nd Album BTW.....

Not that anybody was asking...!

Oh, pooh....you were asking.

In that case, do I win a prize...?

Those dekchairs of the Titanic are always in the water, that would be idealistic for the sardines.
The bad thing is that they must be very rusty, of the salt water, and the place of the titanic in cold water, I don't think the sardine will like it there. Also deep under water, that will make it a very flat sardine.

As Peter has said in the past..."Gelert, you tend to look for what you want to see in the post"....

Well, as Peter said, I saw....

...a very fart sliding...


Which, upon The Titanic, is fairy nuff...!

As Racing Drivers say....adrenalin is brown...!

I tell ya, these meds are rubbish...

So conclusion just name the second album Titanic. There are dekchairs available for sardines.

The perfect title might be: The subconcious longings of deeply frustated sardines reclining on rusty underwater deckchairs.

It's a bit long but Just ask misses Xantuary & mr. Hogweed, what they think of it, to me it's nice.

long titles and very, very long tracks do make a prog album a prog album, don't they? With a title that consists of two words only - like Pepper's Ghost - it may also be punk  ;)

Yep and the rusty deckchairs are for the steerage passengers, while the shiny new ones are for the first class passengers!

Mayhap I should change my band's name to Rusty Deckchair instead? 

BTW, on www.projectrockstar.com (http://www.projectrockstar.com) I have a band called Crusty Dishcloth now and I'm thinking of having Rusty Deckchair too!  Thanx very much for the grinspiration everyone!

Word of warning: Sardines have many unwanted side effects, to name a few: colour blindness, inability to read or speak or type the letter P, constant dizziness, inability to sit on a cushioned surface (you have to use a hard metallic or wooden deckchair), and the ingestion of sardines causes much disruption to the internal structure of your digestive system.  So use sparingly and be careful of adverse reactions with hallucinogenic medication. 

There ... I think I've covered it all!  8)
