23 - Blonde Redhead

I don't really know how many people will get this. Doesn't sound to me like anything you folks would be in to. Is a pretty gorgeous song though, but I think it's almost literally too off the ground for people to be able to understand it. It's a bit of a 'young', 'new' sound.

23 - Blonde Redhead

Excellent song from an excellent album, good choice.

Their sound has nicely evolved from the noisy post-punk of their first few mid-90's albums into a beautiful, intricate and more emotional one particulary on their past three releases (also personal favourites): Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons, Misery Is a Butterfly and of course 23. :headphones:

edna, I like just about anything by Manfred Mann. :)

Me too!

Dito regarding the Kinks. I keep finding gems by this great group, recently the concept album Preservation Act 1, where this song is from:

Cricket!

Some people say that life is a game, well if this is so

I'd like to know the rules on which this game of life is based.

I know of no game more fitting than the age old game of cricket

It has honour, it has character and it's British.

Now God laid down the rules of life when he wrote those Ten Commandments

And to cricket those ten same rules shall apply.

Show compassion and self-righteousness and be honest above all

And come to God's call with bat and ball.

Now the Devil has a player and he's called the Demon Bowler,

He's shrewd, he's rude and he's wicked.

He is sent by Sinful Satan and he's out to take your wicket

And you know that that's not cricket.

He'll baffle you with googlies with leg breaks and offspin

But keep a level head and don't let that demon in.

So keep a straight bat at all times, let the Bible be your guide

And you'll get by, yes you'll get by.

All through your life he'll try to bowl you out

Beware the Demon bowler.

He's crafty and deceitful and he'll try to L.B.W.,

And bowl a maiden over.

The Devil takes the weak in spirit and so we must always be courageous

And remember that God is on your side.

So keep old Satan in your sights and play the straight and narrow line

And you'll get by, yes you'll get by.

Cricket is big in Australia, India and England, so can I count on your votes if I nominate this song, Darryl, Radhi and Fin? :)
