The demo of The Girl from Tiger Bay is available to listen to on the site. It's much better than the new single.

Are they as awful as The Script?

Me too please.

I like the music but James' vocals are starting to grate with me now.

Wow. What did you do that with? Did you record yourself playing piano?

Numb!

No - but she's already released 4 singles and this era has done its work.

 

I agree she is one of the most interesting pop acts at the moment but I'm more interested in what she's going to do next.

I think she should really give up and move on to the next project.

I've just noticed that the single releases for It's Not War... will feature 5(!) new, original b-sides. Come on Manics, show them how it should be done.

 

 

Excellent. Double cd pack with two extra tracks each. I can see this going Top 5 on physicals alone. Does anyone know what the physical sales for You're Love Alone was in week 1.

Just hearing this now. What has happened to this band? They used to be so good.

It would be done in here or indie/alternative but could be advertised in Pop and the Lounge. Actually put it in pop - maybe the pop lovers might take notice of her.

A Kate Bush rate perchance?

While playing Keeping the Dream Alive by Frieheit it helped me realise that there are probably lots of decent Beatle-eque songs.

 

Do you know any good ones? These came to mind.

 

 

 

 

 

It's a brilliant song. The 12" version is even better with the wonderful OTT ending.

 

 

It's very McCartney-esque.

 

Is this the 12"?

 

Karen is an all time great character. Never laughed once at How I Met Your Mother.

So Scrubs is up next, this American comedy set in Sacred Heart, a fictional teaching hospital. I have to say, despite this being E4s second biggest show for re-runs behind 'Friends' I have absolutley no interest in it and don't actually find it funny in the slightest. All personal opinion of course though, and clearly you all enjoy it as the 51st best show.

I'm not going to lie to any of you lovely Buzzjack watching audience, so let me get straight to this and say before this countdown I have never heard of this show. So allow me to give some fairly basic information I discovered. Green Wing is an award-winning British sitcom which is set in the fictional East Hampton Hospital Trust. However, although it is set in a hospital, there are no medical storylines. Interesting you have two hospital based sitcoms at #51. Coincidence? I think not.

50 / QI / 232 Points

Our first panel show of the countdown comes up now. This BBC2 show hosted by Stephen Fry. Like most panel shows, it of course focuses on comedy rather than being an actual 'quz' show, and the questions on QI in particular are always fairly obscure, with points not only awarded for correct answers but also for interesting ones. It's a fairly good panel show, but rightfully finishes below the rest in this countdown. Perhaps if Stephen Fry got a nose job I would find it more entertaining.

 

Rightfully - When it is superior to the rest? You don't get on that show if you're merely a comedian like you do on the other panels shows. You also have to be very well read.

 

Interesting that Srubs and Green Wing have equal points as they have often been compared. Unfairly, I might add, as Green Wing is one of the most creative shows I've seen and I was so glad they quit after 2 series, otherwise they would have ruined it.

Vinyl is great because is so unreproducible. You can't just make a copy of a mates copy of an album like you can with cd, mp3 or even cassette.

Kate Bush - The Hounds of Love

Suede - Dog Man Star

 

I've just spotted the canine link to two of my favourite albums

 

 

 

Really nice song I just found.

This looks good.

I really like this. If it didn't have the word chemicals in it I wouldn't have made the Suede association but there is plenty of Suede in it that's subtle.

I really must give Agaetis Byrjun a few more plays. I do love ().

That is a serious downside. I remember getting the MP3s of Bloc Party's Silent Alarm and I wasn't impressed apart from the singles. Then I got the cd cheap somewhere and played it alot more. I ended up loving it.

 

I often wonder if there are other albums that I'd love if I bothered to buy them on cd rather than leave them unplayed somewhere on my ipod.
