Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
No cheating now....but there are 4 EC songs beginning with the word BIG, and 5 beginning with the word LITTLE. Name them.
Your 30 seconds starts now...
Also, the Tom Waits song Broken Bicycles on For the Stars...is it on a Tom Waits album anywhere? Serious question - I can't find it!

Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
It's listed as simply "Big Nothing" on the Straight to Hell soundtrack.
Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
Is the missing Big, Big Sister? an extra track on the Trust Re-issue??
Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
Yes, it was BIG boys, sister, sister's clothes and tears. "Big Nothing" is listed as A Town Called Big Nothing.

Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
Does Little Boxes count (it's not an EC song but it's a song that meets the other criteria!!!)?
Who’s this kid with his mumbo jumbo?
Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
Or how about Little Big Horn? Thats not an EC song either but the first two words meet the criteria.
Dont know where i got the Horn from though
Hang on that sounds dodgy doesnt it? lol

Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
I just saw a trailer for a new Irish film that makes great use of Oliver's Army-

- about 1.30 into the trailer.

32A (2007)
It opens here next Friday so I'll see how it features in the film then.

Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
'Army is used to great effect in a disco scene. In the 1979 setting we see teenagers actually dancing their socks of to Elvis, a truly bizarre sight. It is , of course , accurate in that , as Elvis has commented, he was dangerously close to being a pop star back then. Otherwise the film is harmless enough affair, gently portraying the usual teenage angst thingy. It's unapologetically female in it's tone ; the '32A' title refers to a bra size.

'Elvis Costello, who clearly is just boiling over with metaphors' - best summary I've heard in awhile !

That definitely fits in with your work, because that is something that continues to set you apart from other songwriters is that you have this Sondheim-esque turn of phrase. Is that something that comes easily to you or is it something with which you struggle?
I think you just have to care about it. It doesn't come super easy. It doesn't come as easy as it does for somebody like Elvis Costello, who clearly is just boiling over with metaphors. But I think if you care about it and spend a little time, eventually something occurs to you that you like better than the other thing. For me it's just a matter of finding where you draw the line. That's usually when I've been working on something for a while and I kind of have a feeling of it's probably not going to get much better than this.
