Ladder to Lake Charles
What's the use in half a story, half of a dream?
"The Ladder," Prince
"Lady," Regina Spektor
"Lady Goodbye," Daniel Amos
"The Lady Is a Tramp," Gerry Mulligan Quartet
"Lady Luck," Vigilantes of Love
"Lady Madonna," The Beatles
"Lady with the Spinning Head," U2
"Laid," James
"Laid a Highway," Tift Merritt
"Lake Charles," Lucinda Williams
I have absolutely nothing in that interval - my music collection jumps straight from "Labyrinth" by Enter Shikari to "Last Day of the Miners' Strike" by Pulp.

Wow, Fred! Did you set this to auto-post or did you really get up that early?
Hmmm, not sure how to alphabetize spaces, but:
"La Paix (from Music from the Royal Fireworks)" -- recorded by Slacktivite Michèle on handbells
fits (if space has no 'alphabetical value'), and:
"Lakeside Park" -- Rush
sort of does.

I guess "La Paix" doesn't actually fit, either. But it gives Michèle a shout-out, at least.

Unrelated to this post...
Help! Due to Obama's nearly unprecedented support abroad, my wife has become suspicious. Years of Left Behind books and Thief in the Night films have brainwashed her! She has some nagging thoughts that BO might be the... uh, big "A-C." Help me convince her this is nutty and dangerous thinking.

La La Means I Love You - Delphonics
La Visita - Tommy Emmanuel
The Lady is a Tramp - Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra
Lake Charles - Lucinda Williams

Well, there's no talk of Obama becoming Supreme Overseer of the UN or whatever the guy in charge of the de facto global government is called. He also does not have two dads and isn't Romanian.
So I'm almost certain he's not the A-C.

"Lady" - Fela Kuti
"Lagrima" - Amalia Rodriguez
(I'm excluding all the Spanish language songs that begin with "la" because it's akin to listing my songs that begin with "the"... plus it would just take too dang long and I want to go read the LB Friday installment)

Posted by: sallysitwell | Jul 25, 2008 at 07:18 PM
"Laker" is out of range, but Monty Python always gets a pass.

Very little that Fred doesn't already own:
"Ladder," Joan Osborne
"Ladies And Gentlemen Part I," The Presidents Of The United States Of America
"Ladies And Gentlemen Part II," The Presidents Of The United States Of America
"Ladykillers," Lush
"Laika," Moxy Fruvous
The Fruvous track is absolutely great, like pretty much the entire "Bargainville" album, and "Ladykillers" is fun-but-socially-meaningful straight-ahead rock from a band that usually preferred to be a little more mopey.
Incidentally, when it comes to things that Fred already has: "Laid" was the first song I ever bought on iTunes. It's currently the most-played song in my music collection, edging out "Presto" by Rush and "Last Stop: This Town" by the Eels.

"Ladybug", The Mathletes
...and that's all I got.
Posted by: mcc | Jul 26, 2008 at 04:09 AM
Lady Godiva's Operation - The Velvet Underground
Lady - Lionel Richie*
Lady Lucky (Do What I Do) - LA Symphony
Lady - Kenny Rogers*
Lady Ice - Arcadia
* Anyone ever notice how Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie sound a lot alike. I've noticed I get confused by who sings "Lady" (Rogers) and "Three Times A Lady" (Richie). So anyway, its interesting to seee Richie did a cover of Rogers "Lady" as a bonus track on his "The Definitive Collection". And I'm not even sure why I have this...must have borrow it from the library when I was trying to find "All Night Long" for my 80's collection.
