It's the one that you have all been waiting for - the 10th and final instalment in the Trains and Boats and Planes series.
We start as ever with Trains which as you know are loved by all Country singers. This includes Alternative Country/Americana so here is Train from the band and album who/which probably started the movement - Uncle Tupelo and No Depression.
XTC popped up as part of the Punk scene but they wrote clever and intelligent songs which far outlasted the movement. One such example was Wait Till Your Boat Goes Down a stand alone single from 1980.
The British rapper and singer MIA first shot to fame with the 2007 song Paper Planes which in addition to appearing on her album Kala was part of the soundtrack to the hugely successful Slumdog Millionaire film.
That's your lot. Thanks to everyone who submitted guest posts, songs, suggestions or merely left comments. You all helped me to see it through to the end.
Next week will see the start of another transport related series but sorry Ernie I'm afraid it will not be buses.
I think it only fair be concluding with the man who gave this series its name. Thank you Burt.
I despair. But looking forward to your 50 part series on rickshaws.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, I look fwd to receiving plenty of rickshaw action in February's Photo Challenge!

Ernie's weekly additions to this series are the price of admission alone
ReplyDeleteA fab finale to a mighty fine series, thanks CC!
ReplyDeleteGlad you saw it through to conclusion. Good series and some good choices but now we can get down to whataboutery! Whatabout Lulu's The Boat That I Row or Status Quo's Paper Plane not to mention Albert Hammond's I'm A Train - my memory is so dodgy these days you may actually have played some of these in which case I humbly apologise. If not you could always post an unheard of Eleventh installment!!
