6-27-13...first update in 2 1/2 years. GOD GIVE ME STRENGTH! it will get updated fully VERY soon. today adds Captain Future and Fables and Dreamsongs cds. this makes plus 27 for a new total currently of 1496. i will need some assistance from you all to finalize up through 2010 please. i must add Frost-o-Matic and Merry Christmas Eve (yes?) and was there a Sara's song that year. NEXT up will be 2011 till now in bits and pieces that is folks. be as patient as you have been. and VERY big thanks to Mayor Jon for the great assistance he willingly has provided. peace, ba
6-29-13 okay....today adds two FULL releases ( FANTASMATRON & MODEL VILLAGE) with 14 songs each + FROSTOMATIC and MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE makes 30! i have also included HIP POCKET JUKEBOX (6) bringing us to 36 more songs added to the A-Z list today (NOW totaling 1532 tracks!) and nearly catching us up to the end of 2011. i still need to get to SIGNALS FROM REALMS to finish that year off, before beginning to tackle the 6 releases of 2012 and BLIPS. have i missed anything...a Sara song? get in touch please. ALSO, kindly...i can use a proofreader. if you are up to the task, YOU GOT THE JOB! i'd be well pleased to verify that i have indeed added FULLY these two cds of both two days ago and today's three more without omitting any AND without changing the words. you would be surprised how many times i mistakenly start typing CLOUDY BILLOWS KISS THE SUN! it ain't easy folks. your help IS appreciated. best, benny
7-1-13 update adds SONGS REALMS LIGHT (7) & BLOSSOM TREE OPTIMISTS (15) plus the latest three SARA HOPE songs that were not listed previously AND a VERY lovely SILENT NIGHT that i just this week found at soundcloud. was then informed by the Mayor of this video present from Bill that i had somehow missed this past Christmas. all these add twenty-six today for a new tally of 1558. stay tuned for more and more and more....
7-4-13 okay an INDEPENDENCE DAY update everyone! today adds two cds: JOY THROUGH AMPLIFICATION (26) and PALACE STRANGE VOLTAGES (7) for 33 more and a new total of 1591 tracks upon our list. as i asked somewhere else, and maybe no one saw it...there was a question about one track upon my list that i had burned to my cdr of the free FROSTOMATIC single! i have it labelled as Merry Christmas Eve and there was a question about its origin...does anyone know where i got this title please? thanks, benny p.s. just found a mistake THE FAIRGROUND amongst 3 THE FABULOUS songs alphabetically (NOW AMENDED)...how long has that error missed my eyes? i beg ANY proofreader assistance always. DON'T BE SHY!
UPDATE update!!! i will now subtract ONE bringing us to 1590 tracks!!! Merry Christmas Eve is a very nice song by an excellent underrated American band from Louisiana named BETTER THAN EZRA! i imagine they gave us this Christmas song the same year as we received Frost-O-Matic and i either intentionally (for Christmas song reasons) or haphazardly (maybe i threw it in the BILL NELSON folder) burnt it to my Frosto cd! forgive my trespasses.
7-7-13 update! RETURN TO TOMORROW adds 24 bringing us to 1614 tracks. sorry folks: DREAMSHIRE's 34 are intimidating me today. give me a few days to get them CORRECT! and also, please see my question here:
AS I NEED YOU Nelsoniacs help MANY times with the A-Z list....as far as the 2 recent releases of GENTLEMEN ROCKETEERS and PRACTICE EVERYDAY LIFE: can you kindly assist me and let me know if there are many and WHICH ONES need to be added to our list? i imagine there are at least 2-3 different tracks that need to be added, even if only a remix. naturally, LIVE ones will NOT be added. HELP when you can please. best, ba
7-9-11 update: only TWO songs added today from GENTLEMEN ROCKETEERS live dvd bringing us to 1616 tracks! my logic for the small update is i once more want to ask your assistance please. WILL I NEED TO ADD ANYTHING from the 8 cd boxset THE PRACTICE OF EVERYDAY LIFE? thanks, ba
7-11-13 update: NEON CYNICS adds nine while DREAMSHIRE CHRONICLES adds thirty-four! so we have 1616 plus 43 which gets us to 1659 with only ONE MORE UPDATE to come...THE BLIPS!!! see you on 7-15. look forward to my FANTASTIC STORY about JUST WHY i wanted to wrap it up on 7-15 and stay tuned for the serendipitous story....you just might like it! or be slightly touched/thrilled anyway. and may i ask kindly just one last time...DOES ANYTHING NEED TO BE ADDED FROM THE EVERYDAY LIFE 8 cd boxset??? thank you! best, benny
7-15-13 update.....THE BLIPS!!!! BLIP! adds twenty two; while BLIP! 2 (The Tremulous Doo-Wah Diddy) adds fourteen. so, 1659 plus these 36 brings us to 1695 at our '15th of July, 2013 stopping (and FULLY UPDATED???) point'.' which ALSO gets us to the story that i owe you all.
my beloved Irish twin sister (born eleven months after me!) IDA went to God up above on July 15, 1999. once i returned to this A-Z list about three weeks ago, with a whooping 10-14 cds to catch up with, i selected 7-15 as a target date for completion, simply as a ridiculously tiny homage to Ida. i wish i could tell you that she was a tremendous BE BOP or Bill fan, but it would be a lie. She was a fan of much GREAT MUSIC and if memory serves, i think she owned a vinyl Modern Music and LIVE! IN THE AIR-AGE back in the 1970's! the guts of this story goes like this. imagine my utter pleasure at realizing the FIRST song on our marvelous A-Z list just the other night, LONG AFTER i targeted this date as my end point!!! it is this type of serendipitous melancholic something/nothingness that warms my heart and allows ME to know that MY GOD is a funny God who loves us dearly and reaffirms for me my old adage that: AS LONG AS SOMEONE WHO HAS GONE FROM THIS LIFE REMAINS REMEMBERED AND LOVED, THEY REMAIN AMONG US HERE! and to further stun some of you, who i would imagine may have no special affinity for Mr. Bruce Springsteen, please take a moment to view this EXCELLENT song, with a very similar sentiment, from his latest record performed live!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXrHQsmON2Unow, here i sit with a decision to be made. do i just wait for 15th of July yearly for my update or would you all rather i try to stay timely and add them as they are received into our lives? me, myself, i'm kinda torn. therefore, i guess i will hand this decision over to our man of honor THE CITIZEN.himself. and please two side notes to Bill, with all due respect....a) you must NEVER write a song with a numerical value of LESS than 15! if you write a song named THREE ANGELS, please have it be the written as the word, not numerically, as destiny has now asked that 15th of July remains our first song here at the A-Z list throughout eternity. and b) as we have previously discussed...WHERE IS THAT X SONG??? perhaps you can call it simply.... "X (for the A-Z list)" or "X (as in Ida)" LOL. cheers friends. it has been a supreme BLAST doing this and/or a labour of love as stated once by a fellow poster here way back!!!! my best always, benny
7-19-13 adds two 2012 Christmas songs...which brings us to 1697!!! please welcome to the A-Z list: THINK AND YOU'LL MISS IT and BEAT STREET. sorry for the omissions and please keep your eyes opened for ANY other error folks. best, ba
3-19-2015 update...firstly, forgive my delay. before we get another five or six releases this year, let's get caught up with our list. HERE WE GO!!! todays update adds the last seven long players COMPLETELY, namely: Pedalscope, Stereo Star Maps, Shining Reflector, Fantastic Guitars, The Sparkle Machine, Albion Dream Vortex and Quiet Bells which incorporate 101 songs.....so, we are up to 1798!!! plus Soluna Oriana from Mick Karn tribute makes it 1799. and if i am correct, A GUITAR FOR CHRISTMAS makes it an even 1800! but, PLEASE!!! it is your job ALL fanatics to proofread and pass along necessary corrections and/or point out any omissions. thanks, benny
12-28-2015 UPDATE!!! i hereby add 84 songs released since my last update back in March. this includes these six long players:
12 from ASTROLOOPS
18 from SWOONS AND LEVITATIONS
12 from THE YEARS
10 from PLECTRAJET
14 from ELECTRIC ATLAS and
18 from LOOM!!!
as always, i implore your proof reading help WHENEVER possible. the list now totals 1884 and i look forward to the 2,000 number coming real soon. thanks for enjoying this thread all and PLEASE feel NO SHAME in pointing out errors, typographical OR content, missed tracks or anything you feel deserves discussion. THIS LIST IS FOR US ALL and should be enjoyed and just as importantly, ALWAYS accurate! all my best to all and a HAPPY 2016 filled with love, laughs and BILL music! peace, benny
I have also made the addition of "The Dreamsville Poetry Experiment" to bring the total count to 1885 - Jon.1/7/17 update includes all of the five 2016 releases + one Christmas track!
Perfect Monsters....15
Special Metal.....12
All That I Remember.....16
New Northern Dream......17
Six String Super Apparatus......12
1885 + 73 = 1958 songs now included here at our A-Z song list!!!
20/6/17
hello all...i have decided on this very rare mid year update for TWO reasons. firstly, and most importantly, WE NOW CELEBRATE THE A-Z LIST INCLUDING 2000 SONGS!!! 2007 to be exact as 49 total tracks are added from these three releases: THE AWAKENING OF DR. DREAM, KID FLIP & THE GOLDEN SPACEMEN and LUXURY WONDER MOMENTS to our previous number of 1958. secondly, i got a big hunch we are going to have a vastly prolific second half of 2017. so, by cutting it in half i will be less overwhelmed come years end. again, big thanks to the man himself for all the music. how lucky are we??? thanks and MANY MORE to/from BILL! best, ba
22/8/18
i have done the deed at last....adding the FIVE long players (6 actually as one is a double!) YET as i yearly inch closer to senility.
well, the story goes like this....
i have added:
SONGS FOR GHOSTS...........................28
THAT OLD MYSTERIOSO.......................17
THE UNREALIST................................15
DRIVE THIS COMET ACROSS THE SKY........12
DYNAMOS AND TREMOLOS....................12
so, the addition of these 84 tracks here added to the previous 2007, brings us to a grand total of 2091.
FANTASTIC OUTPUT. THANK YOU BILL!
11/6/19
Today adds a grand total of 48: the 46 from AUDITORIA plus two strays... PERFIDIA 2017 and THE RUMBLER.
so, if my Math is correct...we were at 2091 and today, by adding the 46 from AUDITORIA plus the two stray cuts brings us to 2139!
