Festive Fifty [48] — Forum Archive

24 Oct 2007, 16:25

God Bless Peelie

It's been twenty years or so since I heard a festive fifty so the process might be a little awry from the original form, but I thought it might be apt to propose a new poll variant today.

We've had knockout competitions and such but I can't recall a festive fifty version of the relative merits of the NO/JD canon.

I'm thinking that the rules used to be: 3 favourite songs... #1 = 3pts #2 = 2pts #3 = 1pt

So, in lieu of a wealth of programming just post your top three songs (1, 2 & 3) and any blurb and then let the mathematical chaos ensue.... [for clarity's sake, only NO and JD tracks eligible and any remix will be counted under the generic song title] It's late and poorly thought out so apologies if the rules get changed.

As well as the interesting pointlessness of a new poll - we at Re:Order acres thought it might be another way of informing our setlist choices for the upcoming seasonal spectacular. Hope & Anchor 14th Dec etc etc Two Sets; Bad Santa emptying his sack; EGGnog; Puppet Show

Results on the night... or by podcast perhaps. Final caveat: as is appropriate for people who can't count - it will probably only end up as a Top 48

#1 This Time of Night

#2 Chosen Time

#3 Mesh (or should that be Cries and Whispers :confused2: )

The one about a field of snow :nod:

Should we have a back up list of songs not needing cymbals in case Warren forgets them? :crazy:

24 Oct 2007, 17:03

OK... this is with Re:Order in mind:

i) Cries and Whispers

ii) Skullcrusher (with lyrics)

iii) Subculture

Alternatively - 1 Let's Go 2 Too Late 3 The Him

Keeping with the Peel theme, Anarchy In The Uk would be an apt choice. New Order banged it out once.

Really, I don't think i could pick my fave NO song, or fave 3, or fave 48 even! there's so many, that are so good, in so many different ways. All i can do is choose NO over anything else (natch)

But I do like HURT :bow:

You aren't seriously considering doing 48 songs in the one night? Twelve is more than enough for a gig, any longer than about 70 minutes and it becomes boring.

To pick three though, and based on the songs that suit the way you play/sing them rather than the records, I would have to say

Sub-culture Lonesome Tonight Dreams Never End

with maybe Vanishing Point a very close 4th

no. you're right a 48 song set would be madness! that's 4 hours... would 45 songs do?

just to clarify... the thread was suggested in order to compile, in a festive fifty style, another list of what is collectively popular. I was thinking that it would be an interesting way of creating a more varied and eclectic hierarchy.

I've confused things by labelling both the list and the event as 'festive 48' although (once collated) the order of popularity might inform some of the setlist choices for the hope & anchor gig it seems that the NO/JD favourites list will be influenced primarily by what people are suggesting re: order should play for this gig.

I appreciate the positive encouragement and if it was an appeal for a re: order jukebox that top three and the accompanying rationale would be more useful than a list of songs that aren't in our pool of performed material. [with something like 58 songs under our belt we'd hoped that most of the popular choices would be in there already...]

but, I guess, seeing what surprise favourites might be offered up was another idea behind suggesting the 'poll'

Not met Rosie... :hi:

Dunno about the timings but I'm guessing by rumours of a big set that an 8 or 8.30 start is possible.

Think everyones getting tickets on the doors

10 Dec 2007, 00:50

The only way to get a ticket that I an find is to phone the venue... Too much like hard work... I should be in town by 7...

Aren't Re-order doing two sets?! Didn't Will say that at some point?!

Me, Welshcake and Dave Clarke will be on the sauce in the Upper Street area early doors - Welshcake gets into Paddington for 11.30 - so it could undoubtedly get very, very messy!

Any other takers for an afternoon sesh?! :nod:

10 Dec 2007, 02:41

I thought it was 2 sets as well - but can't find it written down anywhere - maybe it was said at St Albans? Or on the venue site? Server at work won't let me get on there, so :shrug: ...

I get into town at 2.45

Was going to Baker St for a few hours at Xmas party but our free bar at Globe doesn't open until 5.30 :nonono: so I might sack it off. Although I'll probably be hanging around there to catch up with "the fcukin' big jock", natch :nod:

Stansted is about 25-30 miles away. You'll scrape it in 2 hours by train. Car could take longer.

Train from Stansted takes 45 minutes if you get the direct fast one (Stansted Express) into Liverpool Street, tube to Angel 20 minutes tops from there, so you should be fine, as long as your flight isn't delayed... And if there are 2 sets, you'll catch at least one! See ya Friday...
