Titanic Days by Kirsty MacColl
Titanic Days is an album by Kirsty MacColl, released in 1993. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 14 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Can't Stop Killing You”, on 7 lists with a best position of #1105.
Titanic Days, Kirsty MacColl's fourth album, arrived in 1993 on ZTT, with I.R.S. in the credits, and it was the last record her husband Steve Lillywhite produced for her before they divorced some years later. Victor Van Vugt shared the production work, and MacColl herself took a hand too.
Across its eleven tracks the daughter of folk singer Ewan MacColl sounds sharp-tongued and wistful at once, wrapping bittersweet songs in rich, grown-up alternative pop. "Can't Stop Killing You" and "Big Boy on a Saturday Night" are the ones that turned up on the countdowns. For years the album was hard to track down, until ZTT remastered it in 2005 with a second disc of stray tracks and live cuts, "Miss Otis Regrets" among them, and Salvo/ZTT issued it again in 2012.
