Sorry, am I being a bit dim here? Do you mean the Flight of the Conchords HBO comedy show? If so it's definitely worth checking out, It is comedy gold! Too much good stuff to go into detail but highlights for me were Spoof R-Kelly esq raps about dogs with epilepsy and tour episode in the first seri...

Speaking as someone who lives in a flood-risk area I feel it harder than many when it chucks it down. Got a flood warning from the Environment Agency for further up the river from here earlier. I am just preying it doesn't reach this far, but it has done on many occasions in the past. Fingers cross...

hey guys. i keep seeing quite a few visiters to the page and was wondering if there was an average number of people who visit per day- just curious.

cheers, keep up the great work

I hope I can put this across in an understandable form...

From my perspective, Jason does what he does, (as does, indeed, any musician) and I happen to enjoy most of it

isn't there a song called 'i am what i am'

bunnyben

Well I don't, and I don't understand why some of you even bother with Spiritualized in 2011. not really that bothered to be honest mildly interested in the new album but not expecting to be blown away I find the comments abouts J's lyrical themes just laughable - it's like complaining about Little ...

bunnyben

like I said, though, there are exceptions. Don't Just Do Something is a lyrical masterpiece, and I love the sole two lines of Smiles. and if the music is good it doesnt matter. Lay Back In The Sun has cookie cutter lyrics but the song is so good, who cares. ) which is why i mostly ignore the early ...

"When you make a record, it has to be the single most important thing in your world. This time around, I wanted to do something that encompassed all I love in rock â€˜nâ€™ roll music. Itâ€™s got everything from BrÃ¶tzmann and Berry right through to Dennis and Brian Wilson. Iâ€™m obsessed with ...

if i heared the album without knowing the band i'd like to think it would have the same impact on me if i know the band. i could just dig out some tribal religious music from centuries ago and say i don't need to listen to anything else for this is music and every record released since is just a con...

i haven't even listened to the whole of the bootlegs- only hey jane and too late (both of which i cannot resist) the rest i'm making myself wait for the album- i feel i've become spolit by so much easy access to music, i want it to mean as much as it used to mean before when i could only afford one ...

I'm so impressed by the sml42 version (royal albert hall: go to http://tapers.org/download/ and search for spz) I'm worried I'll be let down by the studio album. Holy crap.

One of my favorite Dylan boots, but the sound quality is poor at least on my version. It's my favorite version of Rainyday Women, but it cuts off after just over a minute. Let me know if you have a full version! I'd think there's probably gotta be the whole show in the vault somewhere, since Dylan ...

[quote="Shinesalight"]Just listened to the whole of the show (thanks Ollie and Neil) in the bath /quote]

three men in a bath- fair enough, after all the owl and the pussy cat did go to sea

I've never seen this program, are you meant to take the premise seriously, or is it just an excuse to talk about your favourite songs? It's on the radio so a listening thing rather than visual - Radio 4. Been going for decades. And it is indeed a chance for whoever is on it to play their favourite ...

Ok, with my art hat on...so, you are approaching this album from a different place and a different time. As with Jackson Pollock, Salvador Dali or even Van Gogh...this album explored uncharted territories in its day. The 60's allowed for exploration that so many bands can't do today or maybe don't ...

how the show going sir?

bunnyben

leonard cohen- isle of wight 1970. he accuses the crowd of calling him a facist pig

dylan 69, same place is also awesome- some country bumpkin in his whites. shame it's never been released officialy

i started season 1 but just couldn't get into it, but it's nowhere near as bad as true blood- mind numbing beyond all possibility! Walking Dead isn't tongue-in-cheek the way True Blood is. IMO, those two shows have very different vibes. yes i know, i just wanted to get true blood off my chest :wink:

On the theme of the clash, I can't believe that sony only released a cut-and-paste job of single tracks on from here to eternity (the shea stadium gig is pretty poor in my opinion) and to think that there isn't a definitive full-length record of them in their pomp is a real shame. I think the shea ...

that's my favourite walkmen album. i like the wintery/holiday season feel. plus they are able to nail this really great world-weariness like no one else right now. i read that they were listening to a lot of roy orbison when they were making it, which explains a lot. obviously you've seen them live...

The song had a huge impact on Bruce Springsteen, who was 15 years old when he first heard it. Springsteen described the moment during his speech inducting Dylan into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and also assessed the long-term significance of "Like a Rolling Stone": The first tim...

The sleeve for A Northern Soul (a mind-blowing, timeless album) is embarrassing beyond all measure. If Spinal Tap's label had not chosen an all-black sleeve to force upon them, surely they would have gone with a four-floating-faces thing with a meaningless door below them. There have also been comp...

for me they have two great albums brmc and howl. brmc just feel like a more accomplished album than storm in heaven ( i really don't get the jamc tag). nothern... has its moments but lacks the cohesion of an album I quite like most of the debut and a handful of tracks from each of their other album...

What a load of music snobbery.
