give it chance

it's a grower

I have to say, Batty, that I've just lobbed it on for the fourth time and that you may have a point. I still don't think they'll ever re-produce the quality of TINLTL, but we'll see.

Well, you know that I have this stubborn refusal to go and see any more bands at the Nynex? Well, Foo Fighters are one of very few bands that I'd break the ban to go and see.
Meanwhile, it's Cherry Ghost at the Liverpool Academy this Tuesday for me!

Been listening to Yeasayer's album a hell of a lot this week, it's incredible. They sound a bit like TV on the Radio if anyone likes them...

To a man (or woman), my chums in the music-rag trade tell me Mr Grohl is just about the nicest Big Famous Rock Star they ever did meet. I don't really wanna stop the show, but I thought you might like to know.

As for what I'm listening to, yesterday Casa Barnet saw the annual restocking of the Rock-Ola 449 with a partially festive selection (yes, I know it's too early, but we're buggardly busy next weekend and the weekend after that's December - these things matter when your six-year-olds have been counting down the days till Advent, worshipping not Christ but chocolate). As a result, I can't (and don't really want to) stop singing/humming/whistling Freiheit's Keeping the Dream Alive, a gloriously cheesy affair so Beatlesesque in its layered harmonies and diminished chords that I recall folk reckoning it was McCartney under a pseudonym. It's not, but it matters not.

I always preferred Jonah Lewie 'Stop the Cavalry' as my Christmas song of choice

ever since a particularly rowdy version as BWFC faced Leeds at Burnden in the Prem

yknow i almost mentioned that in the original post. It's on the jukey.

Incidentally, my met once met Jonah Lewie in the kitchen at a party.

Currently listening to The Queen Is Dead as part of my work iTunes "northerners only" playlist (also feat.: Elbow, Doves, Wedding Present, Oasis, Pulp, Stone Roses, Housemartins, Kaisers, Happy Mondays, James, Gomez, Ian Brown) very loud on a deserted and thus darkened office floor while lightning explodes outside, less than half a second before the thunder and thus less than half a mile away. Quite stunning, really.

Aye its the remix album.
Out monday over here and if youre into making music its the dogs bollox. You get a DVD ROM with every song from Year Zero in multitrack format so you can make your own remixes and new tracks.

Teenage Fanclub, played by me on the guitar, because the melodies are beautiful, and there aren't enough beautiful melodies around.

See, I'm the same with U2. They did this gig with SLF back in about 1980 or somesuch which was featured on BBC2, and I just thought wow, they're great. So I wandered off down to Edwin P Lee's and bought Boy, and then went back and bought October and then War, and then just lost interest as they morphed into this stadium filling act that I couldn't relate to.

How did you go with that DVD I recommended?
