Great idea. (And a nifty way of smuggling in that 13th track ...)

Dear All,
I think we're going about this the wrong way. We should be designing
the best ever Blue Aeroplanes album which isn't the same as the 12
best tracks.
Track One
The incredible four-guitar riff one; Wojtek dancing like a road
worker on a pneumatic drill during an earthquake: that one. Great
first line.
eg Detective Song
Track Two
The Gerard Langley lullaby lyrics/ melodic chorus by second guitarist.
You know, that other one.
eg Sugared Almond
Track Three
The acoustic chordy one with the sentimental use of Bm.
eg Love Come Round
Track Four
Loud, in your face; shouty chorus; use of phatic spoken English in
gorgeously literary context. That one.
loads of these
Track Five
An under-rated poem from the mid-twentieth-century recited to a wall
of sound. Or a trellis.
eg The Applicant
Track Six
The experimental one with the ethnic instrument or with the guy from
the session next door depping.
eg Anti-Pretty
Track Seven
Another incredible four-guitar riff one.
eg Jacket Hangs
Track Seven
It sounds like a diary written spontaneously (but some time ago); the
guitarists sound like they're playing chords they're making up
spontaneously (or remembering something they did some time ago).
eg the one about shipping the model plane and the Mexican kid
Track Eight
Strummy guitars, engaging mood, summer. A cynical grin?
eg Your Ages
Track Nine
Big, chromatic riff that you can never quite get right without
listening to the record again; big guitars; Wojtek's shirt's off.
That one.
eg ...and Stones
Track Ten
Short, scrap-booky one which seems to have been recorded with one mike
or perhaps over the phone. You're beginning to question the exercise,
and then it suddenly stops.
loads of these: does that thing on Long Player count
Track Eleven
The cover version you really didn't expect.
eg Boy in the Bubble
Track Twelve
The long one you don't know why they bothered with, until later when
you realise it's the point of the whole thing.
eg Cat Scan History
Now, once we've sorted out the most popular title for each category we
have the track list from heaven.
Philip
