  4. Album Anxiety

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    I was in LA when the Use Your Illusion albums came out, and I had not seen anything like it ever. The whole of the 'strip' built it up for weeks, and when they came out hundreds of people went down to the big record shop (the name escapes me) and listened to both albums from start to finish, in the street at night!

    Regards

  7. Franz Ferdinand

    I saw 'The Killers' on a televised festival a few nights ago, and yes XXX, they are s**t hot!

    I've sussed out the Franz Ferdinand sound - its a cross between Talking Heads, bits of New Order, bits of Pulp and bits of CUD. Top band.

    Regards

  8. Your first album

    Either 'Armed Forces' by Elvis Costello and t' Attractions, or 'Tokyo Tapes' by t' Scorpions. I can't remember which, and I can't remember where either of them are either. As a teenager I sold loads of records to buy fishing tackle and these may have been two of them. I remember the guy in the shop saying he couldn't take some of the albums as he hadn't heard of them so didn't think he could sell them on. Probably right on reflection.

    The only upside is I caught the biggest Rudd ever seen on our marshes - a 2 lb monster on a maggot and size 16 hook!

    Regards

  14. What's with the rating?

    It'd be more entertaining if a 'ring' existed, where persons having a cyber-tiff could duke it out and other people could watch if they wanted. You could even have cyber-tagging and a cyber-scoresheet.

    Seems like a great idea at the moment, but I haven't had any sleep so far tonight (and it is 7.30am) as my littlest has impetigo and a cold.

    Regards

  22. Songs about London

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    Almost anything by Ian Dury. Probably the most apt is 'The Bus-driver's Prayer', after his 'old man'. Check out:

    'New Boots & Panties' & 'Do it Yourself' for inspiration.

    Or there is always 'Aint no love in the heart of the city' by Whitesnake. Don't know if is about London, but it fits!

    Regards

  25. Just some random silly questions

    in Random Thoughts

    Posted

    Ice cream - a decent vanilla (almost impossible to get nowadays)

    Last film in cinema - Shrek 2 (kids birthday treat, not a patch on the 1st one IMO)

    Peanut butter & jelly - you must be joking!

    1st celebrity crush - Jane Mansfield at about 10 years old (from an old poster of my Dads)

    Ink - black.

    Favourite colour - carbon fibre

    £100 to spend in 5 minutes - second-hand record deck, as mine broke 5 years ago and I haven't replaced it yet.

    Favourite cereal - original Alpen with cold milk.

    Chose A, B or C - I really do not know.

    Quote - 'If you are not a Communist at 18 and a Conservative at 30, you must be mad' - anon

    Regards
