Future Classics
filed under: DadditudesMax's imaginary life, while rich and detailed, makes disproportionate use of numbers and numbering systems. Recently, that manifested in his invention of an album, complete with track numbers and song names, for an imaginary band called "The B70s." He filled in eight or nine of the 20 tracks without any prompting (20 tracks, what is this a double album?) and with some nudging invented names for the rest. Here he is, working diligently at the list:
Herewith, the first album from The B70s:
1. Thrill
2. The B70s
3. Disappointing
4. Ball
5. 5180 (Fifty-one-hundred and eighty)
6. Blue Mark
7. So Blue
8. Big Big Big Big Avalanche
9. For You
10. 21st Century
11. Maricee Street
13. Choo Choo Choo
14. Sleepy Dream
15. Blue Mark (Reprise)
16. Me & You
17. Me & You (Reprise)
18. Clyde
19. Me
20. Ball (Reprise)
We have no idea where he picked up the concept of the Reprise, but he's evidently very fond of it.

Posted by: Adam at May 11, 2007 09:15 AMcan I write a concept album around those titles, please?
Posted by: perj at May 11, 2007 11:19 AMI think there may be a bonus track called "Tyrone is 51 and sick." Max let something about that drop when I was there last.
