of course... i should have known still, it's certainly good to have you back *posting*

good evening mr tyme, nice to have you back

it was a joke! but thanks for the info all the same

funny batman, i was just about to post about that!

when i was 15 a schoolfriend made me a mix tape with jeff buckley's version of leonard cohen's hallelujah on it. i wore the tape out rewinding back to listen to it over and over and over again, always making sure to get that little sigh at the beginning. beautiful. i asked my parents for the album 'grace' for christmas and made my whole family listen to the 23-second note in the middle - 'halleluuuuuuuuuuuuu....' i now own everything ever released both pre- and posthumously on cd and listen to him everyday (singing along with him is better than any vocal training) what drives me mad (although hypocritically i know) is people who go 'oh yeah, jeff buckley... hallelujah right... he's amazing' and yet don't put in the time to listen to his other stuff, exspecially his own songs which are divine.

don't do it - you'll regret it after!! on the subject, doesn't sjp just look weird in all those ads and posters? she can look great sometimes but in the posters she's doing very strange poses!

yup angel, that's them but their first song was good... honest!

actually there's this new girl band from london called the 411 and their debut single was great. it had a guy rapping on it and was about the demise of a relationship, some of the chorus went 'i can't fall down on my knees and apologise to you cos that ain't my style' and some other words went 'he's got you begging on your knees, crying in your sleep making you believe him but you're stronger than you'll ever know girl you control your own world...' i thought it was a great song, different and edgy, not your typical girlband stuff

who was it about?

not typical - hilarious 'a long time ago there was a race of people caled the druids. nobody knew who they were... or what they were doing...' 'i think the main problem was that there was a stongehenge monument onsatge which was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.' brilliant!

i've covered this song with my band, absolutely classic. i love the build up to the solo - 'we've missed the starting guuuuuuun' savage!

wow wow wow wow wow wow WOW! that's amazing jr. thank you for telling me although i must admit i now hate you, but purely because i'm madly jealous. i too am of the opiion that live and dangerous with never be topped as live albums go. i adore jailbreak, don't believe a word, emerald (brilliant rock-trad fusion) and above all the rocker! 'in walked this chick and i knew she was up to something so i kissed her right there, outta the blue' *weak* !!

i love the way they ad-lib songs but somehow manage to be so in tune with one another that it works.... like, 'you're a naughty one, saucy jack' and i also love the scene in the diner where the actress playing janine accidentally says dobbly instead of dolby. you can see her cheeks actually burning with embarrassment! brilliant!

jr, you saw philo???! i'm burning with jealousy : ( he was magnificent! ('would you like a little more irish in you?!')

that's what i meant to type of course angel! i only relaised when it was too late to edit - d'oh!!

i absolutely adore that movie, every time i watch it i find something new. i love watching it with the new commentary too. best in show and the mighty wind are great too, those guys are so talented! 'but these go to eleven...'

i agree with all of carl's choices. hey ya is the most fun song ever! i also love franz ferdinand, electric six and above all scissor sisters - they rock!! some black eyed peas stuff is good, fun to dance to and they were surprisingly good in concert! that alicia keys song is gorgeous. i quite like that new ciara girl too even if she is a beyonce wannabe. and i love the way the guy in the terror squad made a song purely to popularise the only dance move he's capable of... 'lean back, lean back, lean back, lean back...' ooh i'm mean

hey kate, one of mine is tiny dancer related too. i always thought it was 'lay me down on sheets of leather' instead of 'linen'... kinky! another was fugee-la where i thought they were singing 'buffalo soldier, dressed like a rockstar' instead of 'dreadlocked rockstar'. my boyfriend loves to laugh at me and keeps threatening to write about me to fhm for their 'stupid things girls say' feature! when i was in jesus christ superstar. the guy who played jesus had to be really careful while singing gethsemane cos one of the lines goes 'god, thy will is hard'. back when that song 'horny' was a hit, a friend's 5-year-old little brother was going around for weeks singing 'i'm honey, honey, honey, honey....' sweet!

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooohh!!! well obviously you didn't get it

you're right sammy, the movie is unsettling but also full of humour. my brother and i went to see the director's cut in the cinema recently and we were the only ones laughing at all the jokes!

i'd say avril could certainly do with a date with your wife's bathroom products jr! also, don't you just hate the way all her music videos are exactly the same i.e. she looks pouty, angsty, (dirty) and walks angrily down a street. does she pay people to direct this crap?!

there were a few pretty freaky moments in the devil's advocate, like when charlize theron is in the changing room with keanu's friend's wife and all these strange shapes start rippling across her breasts and her face becomes frighteningly distorted. yuck! all the classics are great, exorcist, shining, omen... the ring did freak me out, mainly because a) the view outside one window of my summer house is very very similar to the lighthouse view ith a mirror on the wall opposite the window and my brother crept up on me in the middle and frightened me so much that i cried hysterically for half an hour and we had to stop the movie. my friend stayed over after watching it cos she didn't want to go home to an empty house. she didn't realise i had a tv in my bedroom and the aerial was plugged out so only static would come up. so i waited half an hour while we were falling asleep and then switched it on! cruel i know but i had to share the fear!

yes tim buckley did die from a drug overdose but jeff's death was a tragic drowning accident. both father and son were beautiful talented musicians. jeff's death occurred as he was working on his follow-up to debut album 'grace'. although the tapes have been released posthumously, it is fairly certain that the finished product would have sounded nothing like them. 'grace' is such a beautiful gorgeous album, i really would have loved to have seen how his career would have progressed. i don't know if it's really possible to miss someone you've never met but i feel that i do. in relation to what mindcrime says, i do find it interesting that so many artists meet their demise through indulgence in excess. i think that alot of creative people are more prone to depression anyway (even those who don't become famous rockstars) perhaps because they're often very sensitive to the world and people around them. in the case of rockstars, they become exposed to a world of drugs and debauchery and most often the temptation can be too much. then, because they are chemically imbalanced, they quickly become addicted and this leads to all sorts of complication. i agree with musiktyme tho, the root of most of these problems is undiagnosed and un/mistreated depression.

wow peaches, strange fruit is an amazing song! when i was younger i had the wonder years soundtrack on tape and i loved that song that goes: 'c'mon people now smile on your brother, everybody get together gotta love one another right now' it's a bit kinky really, isn't it?! another song was: ' stop children what's that sound, everybody look what's going down.... a thousand people on the street etc.' not quite sure of all the words!
