"Add a couple in Banlon pantsuits and the dry look and you'd have a KTEL or Sessions album cover..."
Palladian critiques my photograph and does the artwork to drive home what cheeseball hicks he thinks we are to like sunsets:

Cheeseball hicks in looooooove.
What I actually thought when I saw your sunset picture was that even Althouse couldn't make a sunset photograph that was not a cliche.
Sunsets are wonderful to look at in person, but it's like a photograph of the grand canyon or of the moon--the essence is missing.
I think that perhaps photography is fundamentally a quiet medium.
Great job Palladian, that is really on target.

Unlike Althouse's picture in the original post, Palladian's rework instantly spawned the following earworm (sorry, Althouse, I believe you don't like that term): "Love, soft as an easy chair...", from a song I hated then and since. Damn your eyes, Palladian! I shall not forgive until that [w]retch of song is exorcised from my head, which could take hours!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
(Would start plotting revenge, but oh, oh I just cannot think, cannot think. That song! That song! That squirming, worming song!)
It better have "Baby I'm a Want You" on it.

I liked the photo btw.
The cheesiest of cheese must go on this album:
I remember all my life,
raining down as cold as ice
shadows of a man,
a face through a window
crying in the night
the night goes into morning (just another day)
happy people pass my way
looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized how happy you made me
Oh Mandy,
well you came and you gave without taking,
but I sent you away!
Oh Mandy,
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
and I need you today....
Oh Mandy!!!
Here reader...replace it with this one.
Love...love will keep us together.. Think of me whenever
I have written a letter to Palladian describing the record as "obscene" and "defamatory" and stating (if he goes ahead) I would have my lawyer stop the production ;)
Here reader...replace it with this one.
No, this:

He could have at least 'shopped the couple to look more like you and Meade.
It is pretty funny though! And finally I agree with fls, what soft rock album would be complete without something from Manilow (and Bread, too, whimsy)!
Thats a good one FLS. When Cher was uniquely beautiful. Before she went under the knife.
How about this one for cheesy.

This is fun
Oh mother**** pleeze. Althouse is about the farthest thing from a hick as you can get. You wouldn't catch a hick sitting in some fancy pants hippie cafe taking pictures of her cucumber sandwihch and half-decaf mocha latte with a twist and posting it on her blog.
I think I just peed my pants laughing, but I'm a cheeseball hick, too.
What, no Bread ?
Another coastal elite who thinks he knows what's aesthetically best for real Americans.
Don't give up on us baby!
wv: corke - put a corke in it already!
Gee, thanks, DBQ. Right back atcha.
(And let us not forget.)

By the way, none of that's working on the earworm. Normally, I do one of two things: 1) Listen to the damn thing in question until it wears itself out, or
2) Listen to something either a) very, very metal or b) very, very atonal or some such [or both].
Out of luck today. I hate "Evergreen" so much, even I don't have it and won't spring 99 cents for it. And we just adopted a new kitty late yesterday, and she's still way too freaked for me to inflict option #2 on her.
Alas. Doomed.
That's brilliant.
HILARIOUS!
While we're at it, this came to mind:

By the way, my word verification was lumoris, which I think is when a particular lighting scheme ends up being humorous.
Remember, goodbye doesn't mean forever!
You might think those earworms are gone but they will be back...
wv: affilyt - a filly what?
Terry Jacks and Paper Lace? Is this available on CD?
WV - panuffe: what you say when you don't want any more pancakes.
You know it is funny. I actually knew David Gates. He used to live nearby. I had never heard of him or Bread (the group) because I seriously avoided listening to this genre of music in the 70's.
When told by someone (breathlessly because they were really impressed) that David Gates from Bread had a ranch on XXXXXX road. I was all like. Who? What? Bread? (thinking... bakery owner?)
Listening reminds me again why I didn't know these songs.
BTW: He was/is a very very nice man with a lovely family who deserves all the success in the world.
DBQ,
Does he still have really, really skinny legs? I saw him in a concert once, and thought I hadn't had legs that small since I was about 18 months old.

J: Yes.
(Dirty secret: I have, squirreled away, most of these songs people are mentioning, mostly for comedic reasons though not in all cases [and at least one song from all but two of the folks listed on Palladian's album].
But NOT "Evergreen," by God [or anything by Rex Smith or Livingston Taylor.]
P.S. I used to do a mean Leo Sayer imitation, which I perfected for reasons I won't share.)
lem @ 12:15pm-- LOL!!!
I know this isn't a competion, but after perusing my shots from the past year or so, I think this little snap of mine out cliches the MeadeHouse sunset and would probably have served as a perfect album cover for a set of 'lite classical, strings for lovers' recordings.
(my shot not only has a setting sun, but crashing waves on rocks, too!)
reader, like this?
Palladin should try some Nimoy Sunset Pie!

Omaha1: That'd be the exact one!
For all you Leo Sayer h8erz: Long Tall Glasses is quite OK.
Hey, I never have half-decaf or mocha! Or decaf, period.
And that song list is bullshit since there is no mention of ABBA or The Starlight Vocal Band.
I expected better of Palladian.
Ah, yes, the decade that taste forgot. While I remember most of those songs, the closest I came to them was the radio. Proud to say I never bought one of them.
Aw, honey, honey. Poor Hoosier: No afternoon delight for you today!
; )
Here, Hoosier: Starland Vocal Band.
(God, that's awful. The Grammys never worked for me, after that.)
seriously avoided listening to this genre of music in the 70's.
Are you suggested "crap" is a musical genre?
I guess it says nothing good about me that I really want that album...
"seriously avoided listening to this genre of music in the 70's."

LOL evidently it is since we can all pick out samples of it.
Leo Sayers. I sort of like this one of his He made me thing of a horse jockey that got too big to ride the horses and took up singing as a back stop career.
Here's one I can recall my father actually swearing over.
I heard that Amazon has this record overstocked and sells for only $2.99; but it seems that the shipping and handling is done only by Meade Express and costs $900.00 COD.
"Cheeseball Hicks in Love" would actually be a great name for an album.
and don't forget about the dead dog of a song that is literally about a dead dog, by the appropriately named Henry Gross...
Shannon
wv: kationo
reader, I hated "Havin' My Baby" and I was still a teenager when it came out. The only song I recall my parents being disturbed by (but never swearing, they were good Baptists) was Do It Til You're Satisfied.
At night, when the bars close down
Ann A walks through a silent town
And loves a man, who's not around
She still can hear him say, she hears him say
"Ann A, you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life, my lover, my lady
Is the sea"
What Meade commented above!

No no no. Leo Sayers is always best with the Muppets
Sincerest "yay" to crossing paths with Bill of So Quoted!!!
As to the substance: Double-plus {()}.
@Meade: Flea is the contented man who has no shirt!
Also, am I the only one who sees some parallels between the video Bill linked and a certain Lady GaGa video?
