Sir Richard Bishop and various favourites, Dancing in the dark (Springstein), Guitar Tango, Berlin and other stuff. Tend to have all sorts on disc and just play em at random. Right this minute: Dean Martin "Mambo Italiano". Good mood is restored.

Agreed. Saw his concert with the Session Band not long ago on TV. Cracking stuff.

Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank.

I just can't turn this album off. Definitely one of the best three albums that I've bought in the last two years, along with Arcade Fire's Funeral and Death Cab For Cutie's Plans.

You'd be better off listening to the same album as me. Actually, so would all the world! Anyway, something that I haven't pointed out is that Modest Mouse recruited Jonny Marr for this album.

You really need to listen to the whole album, but if you want a quick cross-section then I'd say download Fly Trapped In A Jar.

Funeral is a classic, not heard their new album but they have a tough job of doing better than that.

Currently listening to many a new single:

Interpol - Heinrich Manouever...poppier than their old stuff, but still quite good.

Dizzee Rascal - Sirens...probably the song that'll break him into the mainstream, reminds me alot of Jay-Z

White Stripes - Icky Thump...same thing you expect from JW which is the unexpected - crunching guitar and im sure there is a bagpipe or two in there.

Justice - D.A.N.C.E...takes the crown off of Peter Bjorn and John's 'Young Folks' for track of the summer.

Bjork - Earth Intruders...not heard much of her stuff, though this sounds quite tribal and electronic and...well, good.

RATM - Killing in The Name of (Mr Oizo remix) - actually works really well up until near the end, where the mixing seems out of sync and poor.

Not pretending to know much about modern groups or music Bruce, but why, with such a wealth of talent about do we get freakish crap like Skootch (or whatever)as our Eurovision entry? Surely some of these groups can come up with something less embarrasing than that?

communistworkethic · Post by **communistworkethic** » Mon May 14, 2007 8:42 pm

because Eurovision is not taken seriously, nor should it IMO while it's politcal and it's almost block voted by a gay/female audience in the UK.

Bit ironic: Forty countries enter a song contest and it's not taken seriously by a mainly gay/female audience in a supposed world-music leading country. Mind you, with the old-pals act voting I suppose there's not much point. "And Norway give twelve points to.....Sweden!"

communistworkethic · Post by **communistworkethic** » Mon May 14, 2007 9:05 pm

it's not serious is it? Consider the clash of cultures for years, the "boom banga bangs" etc. It's just one big campfest and the UK entry is now nothing more than the campest act the audience can vote for.
