Work Livedrive Notes: Utter Madness 2020
The hot weather and (slight) let-up in school work has inspired me to blog again. Not only about school life, but also as an outlet for my own musical tastes. I read this article in the Guardian, and am currently reading this amazing book, both of which have prodded me further.
The discography of Madness, a British pop/ska band, comprises twelve studio albums, nine compilation albums, two live albums, one soundtrack album, two extended plays, four box sets and thirty-seven singles. Notes to self after completing 100 orders. 1.) Don't get so stressed if the store doesn't have an item. This brave new world of app-based work is wreaking havoc on your psyche. Your boss is a computer that sends you orders via text and doesn't understand things like being late because the customer made a last minute request and didn't.
Complete and utter madness was the only logical explanation. 'But Mrs Campion' she trailed off, not quite sure how to put her fears into words. How could she describe the utter heartbreak she had felt when Tom had told her who Mrs Campion was at the party, or the way that she was made to feel so immature every time that they were together? Seems utter madness as there are many ex pat stations covering the island already, with a diminishing audience and ad revenue. As most are almost pirate stations it. Data breaches are very common. I've had to report myself for a breach that resulted from Outlook autofilling the wrong email address. If I hadn't I would have been in breach of the code of conduct of my professional body (not to mention potential disciplinary at work for covering it up).
I've always thought ‘Play Fewer Notes' was a cool title that reflected a more profound life philosophy, but has never really been suited to blogging about secondary school music. I do think it is a fairly good name for a blog about contemporary classical music and early jazz, so I will write about music I love on this site.
There will inevitably be some crossover, after all, what sort of music teacher would I be if I didn't lay bare my musical passions for all to see? However, for the sake of clarity, if you are interested in my Recordings Workflow app, or my other writings on music education, head to dgmusiceducation.wordpress.com. If you want to know what music I like, stay here.

Work Rest and Play is an EP by Britishska/pop band Madness. The EP was headlined by the song 'Night Boat to Cairo', from the band's debut album One Step Beyond... It entered the UK Singles Chart on 5 April 1980, reaching a high of number 6.[1]
Background[edit]
After the release of 'My Girl', the band felt that they had exhausted the material from One Step Beyond.., and did not want to release any more singles from the album.[1] However, Dave Robinson, head of Stiff Records, disagreed.[1] Eventually, a compromise was made, and the band decided to release an EP featuring one album track and three new tracks.[1] The 'Work Rest and Play' EP was the result.
Content[edit]
The EP's success was largely down to 'Night Boat to Cairo', which headlined the set and had an accompanying music video. The fourth song, 'Don't Quote Me On That', was a commentary on press coverage which had tried to paint the band as racists who supported the National Front. Some of the band's shows had been disrupted by skinhead violence and, in a 1979 NME interview, Madness member Chas Smash was quoted as saying 'We don't care if people are in the NF as long as they're having a good time.' This was quoted to add to the speculation that Madness was a racist band supporting the National Front, although the band members denied those allegations.[2]
A promotional 12' single was issued in the UK featuring 'Don't Quote Me On That' backed with 'Swan Lake' from the One Step Beyond.. album. The version of 'Don't Quote Me On That' is a different, shorter mix from the one eventually used on the UK EP, and seems to have been used in all European countries outside the UK. It can be heard during the opening titles of the Madness film Take It Or Leave It.
Photostitcher 2 1 2 x 4. The 2010 re-release of the band's first studio album One Step Beyond.. includes the three original songs from the Work Rest and Play EP as bonus tracks on a second CD.
International releases[edit]
Releases varied. Vray texture pack v2 c4d torrent 28 crack. Some countries opted to issue 'Night Boat To Cairo' as a two-track 45rpm single, containing a variety of B-sides: in France 'Swan Lake'; in Belgium 'The Young & The Old' and in Germany 'Don't Quote Me On That'. In the Netherlands 'Night Boat To Cairo' was the B-side and 'Tarzan's Nuts' from One Step Beyond.. was the A-side of the 45rpm single, this is in addition to the 33rpm EP which was also issued there. In Portugal, the EP featured a different mix of 'Night Boat To Cairo'.
In the UK 45rpm DJ and jukebox editions were printed up with 'Deceives The Eye' as the B-side. In Italy a 33rpm 12' single was released with 'Un Passo Avanti' ('One Step Beyond' sung in Italian) and 'Night Boat To Cairo' on one side and 'The Young & The Old' and 'Don't Quote Me On That' on the other.

When Japan released the 'Grey Day'-led 6-track 12' EP in 1981, it contained the three 1980-recorded Work Rest & Play EP tracks, two of which were alternate mixes; the aforementioned 'Don't Quote Me On That' plus 'Deceives The Eye' which ends cleanly without Suggs's echoing, fading vocal.
'Night Boat to Cairo' music video[edit]
After the decision to issue the EP, a promotional music video was needed. However, there was a lack of time before the release, and not enough to make an effective one.[1] As 'Night Boat to Cairo' was the leading track from the EP, a music video of the song was created to represent the EP as a whole.
Madness filmed a karaoke type video in front of a blatantly chroma keyed backdrop of an Egyptian pyramid, with the lyrics appearing on screen in 'bouncing ball' style as Suggs sang them.[1] During the long instrumental sections of the song, the band often run around the set, marching and performing their signature 'Nutty Train'.
Despite the video's poor effects and unprofessional feel, it became very popular amongst fans.[1] This is possibly due to the carefree nature and fooling around of the band, probably down to the large amount of alcohol drunk while filming.[1]
