The Queen are back !
Queen were/are my favourite band/live act of all time, but I have to admit that was largely down to the vocals, presence and charisma of Freddie Mercury - he is totally irreplaceable for me. At the same time, I do think that Brian May & Roger Taylor are very talented, a part of my love for Queen was for their music and they were responsible for writing and playing some of what I enjoyed, it wasn't only Freddie's songs that I love afterall. So, it seems a shame that because Freddie died, it's been hard for them to continue doing what they are good at and love and can't go on to write/record new music - it's a difficult issue though and I'm wondering if, perhaps you're right Tilly - maybe a different name would be more appropriate for their next chapter.

YouTube in talks with major labels
I find it strange now, why some get pulled whilst others stay and wonder what's behind that as it is? but I agree it sounds like the death knoll is sounding on freedom and diversity altogether :( edit: Mind you one of the top rated videos on YouTube right now is THIS ONE re: Save the Internet - so maybe we should be concerned about the freedom of the whole thing and not just the music, though maybe that's a topic for another forum ;)

Paolo Nutini
Jimmy Nail? :lol: - I've not read that anywhere and it's never occurred to me listening to him, that Paolo's anything like Jimmy Nail either, I quite liked Crocodile Shoes though - the album and that TV series it came from - I enjoyed at the time :D But, for me, Paolo's got a much better singing voice, he's sings with a lot of soul - has a soul-esq-bluesy feel to his music and voice. He sounds like Marvin Gaye on Loving You to me - but very different on other tracks too - so, I think he's got a distinctive and unique sound really, especially live, due to the Scottish accent being very prevalent. Most of the reviews I've read, have been positive and he seems to be doing well charts and gigs-wise at the moment anyway - but whatever, the best way to decide whether you think he's any good, or who/what he sounds like, is to listen to him yourself, not read reviews - good or bad :)

Mine is capped Meg, or at least it was when I signed up to it - 2GB monthly - I know that, because I was worried whether it would be ok, having no clue what my useage was/is -but I've never been cut off or charged more, so it must have been alright.

August
How could I have forgotten :o - I used that one or one very similar anyway, for my Tiger, Tiger/Century FM/Live Twice promo leaflets :P Tsk! I remember them now - those photos that Michelle took were absolutely beautiful :wub:

The last one looks a bit of a strange colour to me, but it's a beautiful shot though - safe to say that I like ALL the August Dariuses :D

'If you're a Muslim it's YOUR problem"
Thanks for your post, you make some interesting points. Some sentiments I agree with and some not, but overall for me I think it's everyones problem. The killing of any people is wrong, no matter where, how or why it's happening, or what label is applied to it, so I think we're all responsible and have a duty to preach non-violence of any kind.

Singles Chart Runs
The thread is called single chart runs - so I don't know - ask Kelly? Be nice to have all the info though and to have the cover shots too, like some of the other artist forums do :)

Cover versions
What happened to this? - Did it just get forgotten about, or did you decide not to carry on with it Baytree? Weren't you going to combine the results of this one, with other era covers to come up with the all time favourite Darius cover?

This time last year....
Nah, it might make up for all the ones I didn't get to last year - might, though actually thinking about it, I think I'd planned this one before I knew I was going to miss several :P ;)

This time last year....
I haven't seen Darius live since Jan 05 .... seems like eons ago - so anything would do, I'd just like to be able to go :P :lol: But, if I'm being idealistic, then I'd love my 2 hour + Darius special that I designed on Divas agees ago - a full band monty rock-type gig in the open air on a sunny afternoon; and as night falls, a mellow-chilled acoustic session in the same place - under the stars :wub: - ALL of his songs, including those we've never heard live before please :D

the interchange thread
Oh dear, someone has got their pants in a twist :P This "untalented loser bimbo forum" seems to be doing ok on the site-forum stats, so I guess that means some folk around here are interested in him - no one is forcing you to be though, you can ignore it y'know - but maybe if you stick around and acquaint yourself with a few facts, you might have a change of heart :heart: :D

Maria Lawson: Will She Be Bigger Then Shayne Ward
I think it's a sample of 'Have you seen her' by the Chi-lites? There seems to be a general coming back of Motown/Soul in some music that's about now to me. Sampling something vaguely familiar often helps a track do well on a subconscious level - I like Motown/Soul music, but not really the Chi-lites or this song particularly though -_-
