'Please read the letter' was the one picked out as the best most listenable / likeable one on Raising Sand amongst several here in Basingtoke.

It's a nice song, definitely.

Everyone should check out Duffy too. She is going to be big. The most amazing voice - very soulfu/bluesy/Dusty Springfield-ish. And Mercy is a fantastic dance track.

Love Apologize too. Try not to listen to NF too much!

I'm waiting for the Vision Thing vid!:biggrin:

[pete c]

PR, you will be well served by just listening to radio 2.
Apart from the Levs, they're not playing that.

I don't like anything just right now. :p

As I said its more a production thing to me, I enjoy hearing different ways of recording guitars, its pretty nicely done on that track. I'm not a person hugger either, I tend to just pick a song I like by someone, and rarely listen to other tracks more than once. Some folks are album people but i'm a pure one of tracker, and won't ignore an artist due to their genre or anything like that.


I'm waiting for the Vision Thing vid!:biggrin:

You've got more chance of the Moon doing a music video.

I listen to my friend Jan all the time - that's why I'm still up and rockin at 3am!:w00t:

You don't like anything right now? Are you in a bah humbug mood?!:(

[Sadfish]

Are you in a bah humbug mood?!:(

Have you heard our music????? :D:D

[HarperPR]

YES!!! But what's that got to do with the price of fish?!

[Sadfish]

YES!!! But what's that got to do with the price of fish?!
Then you will know what kind of a mood he generally is in. ;)

[HarperPR]

There seems to be a sudden wealth of incredibly good singles out there right now, hard to narrow to five, but currently:

In My Arms - Teddy Thompson (only heard recently but so bowled over by L+ R's son)

Stepping Stone - Duffy (she just gets better and better)

Love Is Noise - The Verve (the boys are back! Can't wait to see them Sat at V)

The Man Who Can't Be Moved - The Script

Late Arrival - Katy Lied (mates of mine who are a new, virtually unknown band and have got this debut single on Radio 2's playlist - and we all know how hard that is to achieve! :biggrin:)

The minute I posted my irrelevant crap I knew I shouldn't have hit that SEND button. Never mind I think coz I saw the 'Sadfish' flashup on my screen I got mooddy-poodys. Come on now, how can you go round calling yourself sadfish without infecting contagiously other people with your condition? Let's be real here now!! I thank you....

[NoCelebrity]

I'm curious if anyone over there listens to The Raconteurs. They are Jack White's new band. There's still the songs where you feel you/Jack have your finger in an electric socket, but there's a variety, from Hard to Hillbilly Rock. The single "Old Enough" is my fave from the CD.

Note: "Please Read The Letter" is written by Jimmy and Robert. It first appears on their album WALKING INTO CLARKSDALE and is faster and 1:31 shorter than the version by Robert P. and Alison Krauss.

Edited: Oops! Add Charlie Jones and Michael Lee to the "Letter" credits. Seems all four on the Album share equal credit for all songs.

[Bob Jacobs]

No idea what singles are about at present as I don't listen to the radio but I can agree that Duffy has a great voice and some good songs, if somewhat over-commercial production. I downloaded the latest Raconteurs album but haven't heard it yet, apart from one song, which was OK. My latest enthusiasms are African and Latin music and I've also been back-filling my CD catalogue, mainly with old Springsteen and U2 albums, but this Saturday, Zavvi had Cream's Disraeli Gears for #3, so that had to go into the mix :-) So much music, so little time :-(

Guilty pleasures:

Unaccountably, I like Adele's current one "Hometown Glory".
Also the Script's "Man who can't be moved" is a good song I think.

Am I going all radio 2?!! I freaking hope not.

Quiz: Berth Rowley has a good voice but I find her a bit irritating, don't know why. Her main songwriting collaborator is another son of a famous Roy.....
?

You only 'think' The Script single is a good song - it's vunderbar. Their album has gone straight in at No 1 too.

Beth Rowley I do like as well. Is Ben really the son of the late Roy Castle? I didn't know that.

There's nowt wrong with Radio 2, lad!:D

[HarperPR]

And take a listen to Carbon/Silicon. Even if you didn't know who was behind the single This Is The News, the opening is so like Big Audio Dynamite's E=MC2 that you'd have to say Mick Jones was involved (he is) or it was a blatant lift.:biggrin:

[pete c]

Yes I've heard it, & thought immediately of Big Audio Dynamite.

[HarperPR]

The current top 5 I am listening to on perpetual replay:

The Twang - Barney Rubble (well, I would, wouldn't I!)

Reverend And The Makers - Silence Is Talking (one of Sheffield's finest. Loved them since seeing at Reading 2 years ago)

Mamas Gun - Let's Find A Way (this should be massive)

Empire Of The Sun - We Are The People (a bit of electronica never hurt anyone...)

The Script - Before The Worst

[pete c]

Paolo Nutini - Ten out of Ten (what happened? I used to hate Paolo!!)

Eels - Hombre Lobo

Amsterdam - Home

Vision Thing - Bones (live) :-)

Robyn Hitchcock - Adventure Rocket Ship

Things I currently HATE - Michael McIntyre and Empire of the Sun (whiney vocal).

[SHAUN I]

Probably not the trendiest of Top 5's, but I don't care, it's my Top 5!..:biggrin: (This week's)

1. Frank Zappa - Ship Ahoy
2. Groundhogs - Cherry Red
3. Why'd Ya Do It - Marianne Faithfull
4. The Stranglers - Nice 'N' Sleazy
