Secret_Song

:blink: the mind boggles :wacko: :D foggy memories of seeing that pic before are coming back to me now - still can't remember what it was all about though. Do you remember seeing it Pat? my memory of it is really sketchy, it had something to do with Darius trying to persuade someone to listen to his CD or maybe swap it for a Here'say one (I can't remember) but the bit where the lad tried to steal Darius's CD by running away with it seemed unexpected :blink: I think - that's why that part has stuck in my mind - it was funny :lol: I can remember he found him in a telephone box :P

I remember we were asked to suggest titles for the first album, but I can't remember anything about song titles coming out of that though? - Did you mean Dive In - or did I miss something similar with Live Twice?

You're not sad at all - I love your creativity :wub: I haven't given much thought at all to the third album as yet, apart from the obvious -i.e. hoping that Darius takes as much time over it as he wants/needs to and that he's completely happy with the result himself :)

I know your game - you just want all the Darius fans to love ya ;) :D - anyway, I still love ya (Kinda) ;) :D So, Michelle and Trishiboo have chickened out eh? :arrr: ;) :D

Your Game :dance:

:lol: :P

:lol:

It's not you I'm upset with - it's e-motion messin' with ma poll :angry:

Some info about and interview with Danger Mouse on HERE ;)

Oh no I'm not :D - it would be everyone who votes 'both' that's are spoil sports :P Anyway, I'm not playing anymore now :P

I know :) - but I still think it's wrong taking photos of people without permission, unawares etc... it's just the invasion of privacy thing that needles me - always does.

That's what I thought Pam - maybe he's a head-transplant surgeon? ;) ... but I don't know with it being poor quality. He looked as though he'd had a head transplant on the Dive In album cover as well, but his head and body did both look like his on there though :D

I don't want a new start - it's clear from what both you and Maria have said that you'd just select both, as would the majority of people probably - it just makes a nonesense of this particular poll question. I just want the 'both' option removing again :(

I agree that it's too late to change the poll, when some people have already voted. I also think it's wrong for you to just change a poll that someone else has created without asking them first :( - I deliberately didn't include a 'both' option - because I wanted to see which of the two albums was the most popular. I think the majority of people would just probably vote 'both' given that option, because most people like both and find it hard to choose - which is why I didn't include it as an option, I feel it makes a nonesense of having a poll to see which album is the most preferred now.

No it wasn't 'Nearly Popstars' I don't think ... it was more like a comedy sketch? - I can't remember though, - it was just really funny, when the lad nicked off with the CD :lol: and I want to see Darius legging it up the street again B) As for the Incredible song being used - it was shortly after it's release as a single I think - it was used by a charity advertising what they do - I saw it on TV (Granada Region) ... children, smiling faces ... just can't remember which charity now though :rolleyes: I don't think I've ever seen that photo you've posted before Maria - it looks a bit wierd to me, but it's not good quality so it might be that?

Pesky nuisances the pappers :angry: - but they are lovely photos :heart: - they look really happy :D

It's funny that, because I'm having a much tougher time choosing just one from Dive In than Live Twice ... still not done this one yet either though ... but it's next on my list ;)

I seriously have to keep an eye on the speedo when I'm driving to that track! :dance: Colourblind :D

Is that how it's being done? - or is it a separate one for each site? Anyway, I'm a member over there too - so, I've posted my list there as well - I especially couldn't resist after reading the last post :rolleyes: I've got the same username as I have here. I've also posted a new Darius thread in the singer-songwriter forum over there :D

I expect each decade has it's accolates, but I loved the 70's I was a hippy-chick at the beginning and a funny disco-person by the end :lol:

Quite a few music shops have disappeared from the High Street in and around Manchester - HMV is still well represented in the city centre though - but others such as Virgin; Our Price have been disappearing. On the outskirts/surrounding towns of Manchester, it's particularly difficult to find outlets that sell singles - most of the album outlets are superstores/supermarkets and most only sell albums.

Me too - that first note/thud on the song is so ingrained with positive feelings, that a smile appears on my face the minute I hear it :D

Yes, I do understand what you mean Pam - I had a think about what Kelly said too and I generally find that when I get an album I find other tracks that I like more than the singles and play those more often. It often takes me by surprise, when I actually do hear Darius's singles how much I really enjoy them. With Dive In though, I used to play that from start to finish, never skipping a track - I love the whole album so much - just everything about it - the whole feel of it etc... and still do :wub: Whereas I have a mixed relationship with Live Twice - I tend to listen to different tracks at different times. There are some tracks that I love on it, but also some that I like parts of, but dislike other bits of the same track - so really this is the easiest poll for me - I voted for Dive In ;)

The info on the website didn't give any clue that Darius actually performed there either did it - but I'm glad to know he did though - would love to know what and how it went etc...

Even this is a tough decision for me, I like different things about all of them. My top 3 are Girl in the Moon for the simplicity, Live Twice, for the message, the emotion and artistic feel, but I've gone for Colourblind as my #1 - because it tells the story of Darius walking away from something that wasn't him, being true to himself and doing his own thing - it was exactly what I was hoping for at the time and I'll never forget how I felt when I saw that guitar case and the constricting suit disappear :dance: I still love it! - I wish they'd used that 'hmbomt' editors cut though ;) :D
