B9BGXd1meHw Vegas Feat Siobhan Fahey - Walk Into The Wind under-rated - wonder if Cherry Red will re-issue it for me? 98PgTQOCYmY Vegas - Possessed and anyway think Ultra Modern Nursey Rhymes with Oui 3's Blair Booth might be 1989 anyway... 5REDrOwHV8U Missing - Terry Blair & Anouchka http://i12.ebayimg.com/03/c/03/1b/40/eb_7.JPG fyi - not surprisingly i've just youtubed Automatic High again :cheer: :yahoo: :dance: :wub: and if the next record is gonna be put up against ghost town by the specials i would vote Broudie and Hall over Hall and Dammers.... rbPfzZlMx8o Lightning Seeds - Sense TO3HATSPe4A The Lightning Seeds - All I Want u4lil3dGKYw Lightning Seeds - "Pure" bonus S Club 7 assocaited tracks - from around this time tho maybe 1 year out as usual: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0e/B00002MHMI.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg z0wLZSYMtcg D-Mob + Cathy Dennis - C'Mon And Get My Love C8L5l3UxCiw MASTERPLAN - DIANA BROWN & BARRIE K.

  3. Well if its Tweens your talking about - Tbh I think I'd rather have the Tweenies back in the chart with Number One...and thats not remotely cool is it....and even tho it's squeeky vocal territory that would never pass for the x factor live shows..i think its actually a better record..Up was annoying me now getting bored of the thought of it...B*witched and C'est la vie...thats an Oirish-Motown-esque classic and still sounds great and a fresh pop single now...whereas the Saturdays album will be stale by next year... http://www.theambassadors.com/common_graphics/productions/p3282_sm1.jpg 8ZMcN6grZUk Tweenies - number one M1_muIb3dvU :cheer: :yahoo: B*witched - C'est la vie :yahoo: :cheer: btw from the look of it think the tweenies might be touring with the presets by now :lol:
  4. this would be a better couple of lists: :lol:
  5. it was alright but would have been better if she had just covered Hepburn instead
  6. yeah their newbie much better and less of an annoyance

    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ae/Burn_After_Reading.jpg OK its not their best film - but yeah it is good and lots of fun...with a number of stand out performances including one by J. K. Simmons - imo the CIA men are actually the best characters in a film of 'characters'. and even with all the bad language and special seating arrangements in it - a film that my dad actually enjoyed as well when he came along to see it...
  8. think there might have to be an american indie film called 'the people i went out to the pub with last night' then :lol: Liked Juno a lot - tho yeah i can see why some people wouldnt like its knowing quirky-tweeness - and yeah Lars was very good..and very sweet as well....
  9. but the asian film industry can just be as bad as hollywood for churning out variatons on a theme and remaking things - just that in some cases we dont get the full amount of product thats being churned out as distb just get the decent stuff at film buyers expos.
  10. free? with no catch? tF-EEoQAaAo love So Called Summer even tho it does sound like its gonna be some cheesy 1990s eurodance record at the beginning - but love the polyphonic spree-ness of the chorus - much better than the franz ferdinand meets abba of Letting Go.
  11. Yeah its great - but is it only gonna be on 12" - so mostly remixes

    yeah he knows his stuff tho its listed as a double a-side - "Break My Heart (You Really)" / "Heroine" RhFtJ2V6UsY this sounds like an Eurythmics cast off...and therefore not a good thing...at all.... :puke2: this may be a better man with a beard moment.... aRpj3r_MrMw Eric Clapton & Marcy Levy - Hello Old Friend (live 1977) 0ufgRibjUDA Marcy Levy Take Me Down To The Riverside 1975 well i think banananananananrama have probs been mentioned far too much in this place.

    so too intelligent for public consumption - so that the reason for such a dub song as that hot dog jumping frog rubbish :lol: a worse decline from LIMOGES than if an album came out next week called 'Wild Beasts sing the hits of Abba'

    yeah great track - tho loved Semisonic's Chemistry much much more - should have been massive and maybe it would have been if released in 2007. pity that with his recent James Morrison co-writing credit it looks like Dan Wilson could be coming to become the new Eg White - tho seeing as he's like the co-write champion of the world!!!....tho maybe more at Gary Clark's level - tho not spotted in connection to Natalie Imbruglia yet... VuGAFHd-1hE best of 1999: POEzC0UMVxM :cheer: :yahoo: :dance: S Club 7 - Bring it all back :cheer: :yahoo: :dance:

    how bizarre - my dad just mentioned that fact about 5 minutes ago before i put the walker brothers on.
  16. tigerboy posted a post in a topic in 20th Century Retro
    nice!!!
  17. i think i'm gonna see if iTunes has got a best of Ken Dodd album in their list too get that groovy where's me jumper song however thats just a silly novelty - this on the other hand is perfection....(tho i might have to turn it off and put my cd back on as my dads' started singing along :lol:) _eRfznak-Lg The Walker Brothers - Make It Easy On Yourself yeah - there wasnt much interest in the thread about the band...and i guess the best jazz singers of the 1940s would be even more pointless :lol:
  18. nah! much respect is due for the inclusion of Superman there alongside Siouxsie, PiL and New Order!!! great choices!!! btw is 68 guns by the alarm the novelty or not :lol: :blink:

    the album has also got this on the bonus cd - Coldcut - Stop This Crazy Thing...which is a really good track as well... KhC-z7F6w-o
  20. i dont get this list? its got loads of rappers on it is this just a list of people you dont like? actually think people like Boy George have actually got quite a good voice - just a pity that its been attached to loads and loads of nasty $h!te. yeah and also type of song is important - Elvis Costello singing his songs from the 70s - good thing but singing Aznavour OMG! thats is like so wrong...Terry Hall covered it much better. TBH Ross MacManus could be seen to being the better vocalist of the two MacManuses listed here - me and me mum were having that discussion the other night when bbc four was showing joe loss orchestra in Hammersmith Palais

    not gonna read it at the moment as too much to read - maybe still a bit drunk - tho was in bar last night talking to me mates girlfriend whos like your regualr boho studenty quirky but cool kinda type and we're talking about various retro musics - all the usual suspects come up from the 60s 70s and 80s (monkees, kinks, who and yeah s/a/w was mentioned in a positive light too) and we get onto the subject punk...but we start talking about all the late 90s/early 00s stuff like the offspring and others who might turn up in Dougie Poynter's record collection and it was a good job me mate came over as i was one sentance away from mentioning Avril Lavigne...which might have shattered the cool bar vibe :lol:
  22. but wasnt kate bush discovered by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd - isnt that more ironic as punk is alway presented like a reaction to stuff like prog army of blind saturday - if its not already an emo band name it should be!!!!

    and tbh actually probs only the decent show on that station (most of the other presenters seem to be a bunch fricking awful eejits and mad women who should be locked up out of the reach of the nations airwaves) esp if the playlist is v trainspooterish with lots of stuff that might be in my lost gems of the 60s bok and not cheesy adam faith stuff that my dad would probs sing along to - and good to have on when you've had a bit too much of the 'ye olde worlde fizzy Apple Irish Pop' the might before.... cant remember much of what was played this morning as im trying to reassemble my brain from last night's bar crawl apart from Simon Dupree and Scott Walker :cheer: ...and some weird sound mashup experimental thing that could have been Prefab Sprout's I Trawl The Megahertz and Ken Dodd doing a really groovy version of the sultans where me jumper....which should be remixed in a big beat elvis style!!! http://intima.blogspot.com/PaddyMcAloonALBUMPIC1.gif xOqtL7CzDrc The Sultans of Ping FC - Where's Me Jumper the best of Twisted Wheel (She's A Weapon!!! She's A Weapon!!! :lol: ), Wigan Casino, The Goldern Torch and Blackpool Mecca are out on sony bmg - think they would be cool to have all of those at some point - look like they could be a good collection and seem to have good cover notes with the album - even tho trying to collect all of the new 100 hits and started getting those talcum soul collections on stateside...

  25. from BBC: Four Tops star Levi Stubbs dies Levi Stubbs, lead singer of legendary Motown band The Four Tops, has died at his home in Detroit, US, aged 72. The performer, who had suffered ill-health for several years, passed away in his sleep. Abdul Fakir is the only surviving original member of the group, which has sold more than 50m records. The Detroit band became one of Motown Records' biggest successes, scoring hits including Bernadette and Reach Out (I'll Be There). Founding members Lawrence Payton and Obie Benson died in 1997 and 2005 respectively. Audley Smith, of the Motown Historical Museum, said that Levi Stubbs had a voice as unique as Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson or Stevie Wonder. "[He] fits right up there with all the icons of Motown," he said. Levi Stubbs was born in 1936 in Detroit and met Abdul "Duke" Fakir at High School. The Four Tops were one of Motown's biggest successes They met Payton and Benson while singing at a mutual friend's birthday party. In 1953, they formed a group called The Four Aims and signed a deal with Chess Records. Later they changed their names to the Four Tops to avoid being confused with the Ames Brothers. The group signed with Motown Records in 1963 and produced 20 Top-40 hits over the following 10 years, making music history with other acts in Berry Gordy's Motown stable. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. Stubbs is survived by his wife Clineice, five children and 11 grandchildren.
