Lou, I went to see them in april at newcastle arena - think i might have mentioned that a few times Paul :-), they were fabulous and i managed to get myself right at the front and behaved like a hysterical teenager.

Andy, i agree The Pixies were for sure doing Nirvana before Nirvana, but they did not break through to a wide audiance, but then again i thing Fred 'Sonic' Smith and the MC5 out of Detroit, in 1968 were big better, louder, Kick Out The Jams

sheila i think im obsessed with them !!!!!! the cd i like best is my sons but hes hidden it from me so im playing it via media player now :-)

Lou, im onto my daily fix of Faithless now lol

CNN

im listening to Faithless................again

Morning all, Haven't listened to anything since I got to work - every time I switch my iPod on the phone rings ! So I've given up for the time being.

wouldn't say that what Nirvana did was that new...The Pixies (who've currently reformed and touring) broke that particular ground more and Nirvana rode along in their wake, IMHO.

Son House & the Great Delta Bluesmen 1927-1930, i have over 700 Blues cds mainly 1925-1940s, dubed from the orignal 78s, this is the foundation of Rock & Roll, and here you will hear all todays music, there has been nothing new in music in the last 20 years, except perhaps Nirvana. Todays music has all been done before, you may not have been far enough back to have heard it, but its all been done.

Beachball - Nalin & Kane - it always makes me smile??

Currently listening to Atchi Basq's 'Morning Sun' Glow Mix form CD 3 of Arabic Beats, part of a great CD collection of modern North African music. So far I've got Arabic Chillout, Arabic Cafe and Arabic Beats - wonderful stuff - highly recommended for Pink Sahara Trekkers! LOL CB >|<

Andy, I don't remember you saying that. Didn't realise you'd looked. The Russ Conway and James Last stuff was inherited when my in-laws passed on - I'd never have bought those! The vinyl collection would have been much larger, had it not been for my divorce in the 70s. A lot went the other way, so I've tried to replace them whenever I could with CD versions, although I've found they often leave out tracks from the originals or substitute them with others. I was particularly annoyed to find the second track on the first Stones album, Down Home Girl, was missing from the CD, as I no longer have the vinyl version. There are masses more CDs in Jeff's room - have a look next time. CB >|<

Listenin to Madonna 'Cherish'

Sheila - what a surprise !! Paul x (Elvis Costello - Everyday I write the book)

Faithless - God is a DJ

Bette Midler, Did you. Shirley Ann.

The plum went down a treat - now she's onto a packet of crisps

CB, Oasis are well-renowned musical magpies, the intro to 'Cigarettes & Alcohol' from Definitely Maybe is lifted straight from 'Get It On' by T-Rex (yep them again!). Funnily enough, I've always thought of Noel as being the better vocalist of the two, as well. I probably said at the time, but you have an impressive vinyl collection.

A train blowing it's hooter just down the road from me and also I can hear the sea splashing against the shore. No music on tonight Regards Jackie

Andy, I think Jeff's more taken with her than the music! No, he's very aware of how much lots of modern music sounds like the old stuff he's grown up hearing us play. It's really quite surprising. I actually liked a track I heard on the radio at the weekend and said it sounded like The Kinks. Jeff laughed and said it was Oasis! I've never been able to stay in the same room as Liam's whining before, but this track had Noel on lead vocal - a big improvement. Still not going to buy Oasis stuff though - on principle. I'm too old. CB >|<
