Oh I agree, all that quick flicking of intricate footwork isn't easy unless they have a natural ability for dance, timing and rythm. There are some reality shows I wish the public weren't allowed to take part in, leave it to the experts who know what they're talking about. The public get too involved with personal likes and dislikes of a celeb sometimes which is why those with at least potential go too early.

Nice idea Yella!  Fact is, a talent show where no-one watching could influence the result would be a financial no-go for a TV network. Mind you, could you imagine how the social networks would spiral out of control! 

Yep true that shows now rely on the public spending their money to help make them profits, I stopped falling for that a looong time ago   Phone calls or not whoever wins whatever reality show there's no way all the public would agree, will never happen that's for sure

 

When it comes to music I am a diverse creature. It just so happens that the other night I was enjoying a series of Latin tunes with Xochi. Tonight, after a long day at work I need something which has a raw aggressive energy to it. I need synthesisers and metronomic drums, after all I will be listening to this whilst undertaking kitchen duties (washing the pots).

 

The first thing that popped into my head was a track by Skinny Puppy. Oh yes, that's the ticket, just what I need. But wait, the track only lasts 7:02, I will need something else because I can't wash pots in that short period of time. EC hunts for a suitable second track...

 

What have we here, something I have never heard before, my interest is engaged, I add it to the playlist and retire to the kitchen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm currently listening to the Tangerine Dream album Logos Live. Such a good album, I really should dig out my copy and rip it to my iPod. It will go down a treat at work while I perform my repetitive, mundane tasks.

 

 

 

I adore this track.

 

So I've just come across this kid and I love him! Carport, you probably will too!

 

Jake Bugg, who just didn't win new breakthrough act at the Brits as I think he should. 

 

We mentioned him in a different thread. He was interviewed on R5 this afternoon. If I can finish the pots and pans before "Awakening" ends then I feel as though I've done a good job.

Dunno if that's a good thing though and whether you wash up faster because it's not your sound!  

Awaken I should say, one of my favourite Yes tracks. Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman in battle. Yet one can understand why youngsters found it all rather pretentious, and continued with Punk material.

Ah! Yes, this is proper contemplative washing-up music!  

 

 

Is this a cover?

I feel like I have heard this before (and not recently).

 

It feels HEAVILY influenced by 60's singer songwriters.

 

He has, I think unnecessarily, been compared to Bob Dylan. Good call though Enthusibilities! 

 

Interesting and quite fortunate for me, but when I wrote the above to you I was going to draw a comparison to Bob Dylan, but decided upon 60's singer songwriters instead. Now there is honest for you 

Such humility Enfibularities!   

 

But importantly, do you like his sound? 

He sounds Ok. However my main love is music and I have no problems listening to endless amounts without vocals. Singers such as these are ten a penny, but I did like what he did with the guitar.

 

I am being forced to go out and have a couple of drinks with a friend tonight (Friday), so I will get back to you on your question Xochi. Although I have already had one listen.

Jake Bugg has been describes as alittle bit of Dylan/Cash/Buddy Holly.

I thought him better than those three.

Just listening to JB on grooveshark but.. Buddy Holly was something special

I have never been a fan!

I need help ,just listened to this and I liked it!!

 

 

 

 

Erin,

 

 

This is extremely coincidental, but when I decided to help you out and provide an antidote, the song I selected was preceded by an advert. The advert was that woman singing I Dreamed a Dream - 

 

I could not believe the odds!

 

 

Now, to get you back on the straight and narrow, I need you to listen to this 5 times in succession. Then three times a day for the next week.

 

 

 

 

Cheers EC I might manage to listen to a few seconds of Motorhead .

 Me too.

I finally downloaded the Prodigy live album. It has provided a pleasant background to today's proceedings. Busy music and good value for my money - lots of notes.

Blimey! If I admitted to that at my age I'd get humiliated by my juniors!  

 

What was the occasion Carport? 

You don't want to know about my day. But an abridged version........ Computer issues, panicking partner, and getting dicked by Millwall.

Just mentioning Millwall says enough!  

 

Take up an interest in rugby... we (England) did well again! 

I was at a friends funeral on Friday and this was played ....................so sad but so apt and beautiful. I have to say I'd never heard it before.

 

This never fails to make me smile
