Title: Title for the next album
Post by: Andy on October 11, 2006, 10:28:26 AM
As per Dave Pegg's idea in his Talkawhile Guest role, can we come up with a decent title for the next album?

My initial suggestion: "Friendly Heroes"... but I'm sure you can do better!

  suggestion for the new album title,  RubiConvention

40 years = Ruby anniversary

Rubicon definition:     take a decisive step

Synonyms:    bite the bullet, choose one's fate, jump in with both feet, leap into the breach, leave a crossroads, make one's move, pass the Rubicon, prendre la balle au bond, take for better or worse, take the bull by the horns, take the plunge

Better if abbreviated to "Life Begins" I think.

Given their recent output how about "Too Old To Rock And Roll Too Young to Die" !!
Coat on, Engine running!

40 Cricks ?
40 Winks ?

Keep the engine running postiljohn  ;)

Seriously though, I think 'Life Begins' is an excellent suggestion.

Torn between "Life Begins" and "RubiConvention".  Both excellent suggestions.

On balance, I think that I'd go for the latter as Martin's reasoning is flawless!

I'm not sure that it's a good idea to keep focussing on longevity. 'XXXV' 'Over the (next) hill'

As for positive ideas  ???

I think Simon once said that Fairport's albums were the musical equivilent of postcards home, letting people know what the band were about at any particular time. My nomination therefore is:

Postcards Home.

Cheers,

Jackdaw

I agree, in my previous post I was only trying to improve on Jims suggestion.

I hope they come up with something completely different & not something that plays on their longevity.

I was always taught " When you criticize something or someone, they have attributes you would like to have, but never will"

Silence is golden, unless you really have something worthwhile to say.  :-X

Title suggestion: Fairport Forte'
