TalkingScarlet Hi Carol - I'm on to it.
-
kalyr Ooh - Porkie Tree in the charts!
-
kalyr
Nothing I've been listening to in the weekly top artists. Will have to do something about that. Go listen to the new Karnaraka album - it's awesome!
-
ejaydee a-Ha?
-

Breathing Space in "Unique to this group" chart!
-
kalyr
Oh No! Akira the Dog is baaaack!!! And who's the C.W.McCall fan? Is anyone going to own up?
-
TalkingScarlet
Hey debs (!) - that wasn't me - that was that awful ToffeeBoy character. Oh, and what other last.fm group would have Bill Oddie joint top of its chart. Rock on!!!!
-
nevercallmedebs What's that, TalkingScarlet, that comment over on t'Spill wasn't intended to make us feel guilty? Oh, then I won't bother adding a shout here...
-
xseawitch yay!
-
treefrogdemon Hooray, it's back!
-
xseawitch
hey, where's the chart gone?
-
TalkingScarlet
Not a bad year for Leonard Cohen - first of all one of his songs becomes the fastest selling single of all time and now he tops the Spill Christmas Chart! Merry Christmas to you all - keep on Spilling...
-
kalyr
Wot no Julian Cope? What has he done to upset us? (Not that I'm particularly a fan)
-
TalkingScarlet
Wow! Prefab Sprout hit the Spill top ten!
-
Hindlejohn .....and at number 10 (unique to this Group). Next stop, Later with Jools Holland?
-
ejaydee
Well donde Blimpy, rocketing up the charts at number 18 (tied).

Not that I object to Marillion - Seeing them at Manchester tomorrow night, and if the reports I've been hearing of the tour so far are to be believed, it's going to be a great one. And then I'm seeing Fish two days later... Ties in very well with the 'Longevity' thread on the Graun music blog.
-
AntMo1966 Kalyr, that'd be my fault I'm afraid - trying to get up to speed with Marillion before i see them in Concert on Thursday. somehow I didn't feel the need to familiarise myself with Motorhead before seeing them on Saturday night - fortunately my hearing has recovered in time for Thursday

One reason there's so much RT is that I'm in my car with my iPod for 90 minutes (at least) every weekday...
-
xseawitch
Don't think so, nor the Passions. The Teardrop Explodes are also there a lot. All good, I reckon and All About Eve should definitely take notice and reform so I can see them live!
-
kalyr
Marillion back in the top ten again :) Have Richard Thompson and All About Eve every been out of the ten?
-
ShivSidecar I've eaten all the scons, or scoans, so it hardly matters. Next week: the world's biggest omelette.
-
abahachi Scons. It's not necessarily regional, it's also class-based and a reflection of one's place in the dominant relations of production. And I'll own up to being of the Passions fans; I assume we're all listening the the same track...
-
xseawitch
as a half Cornish lass we put butter on the 'scoan', then jam then clotted cream (if you're going to indulge yourself, no point in doing it by halves I say). Who are all these people listening to the Passions?
-
Mnemosene I'm coming down on the side of "scons" , whether drop scones or the kind you eat with clotted cream and strawberry jam. Being Cornish by upbringing, (though Scots (carpenter), Roma (horsetrader), Dutch (fen drainer), Flemish (silk weavers and mad inventors) and English (pharmacists and charlatans) by ancestry, I don't use butter but put the cream on first to make a base for the jam. How do you do yours?
-
kalyr
Bollocks! It's "Scoans"
-
TalkingScarlet
Scons - definitely scons. We Scots invented them so we can get to say how they're pronounced!
-
kalyr
Do you pronounce them "Scons" or "Scoans"?
-
ShivSidecar
Could somebody nip round the shop and fetch some milk, please? I'm making drop scones...
-
kalyr
The 'unique to this group' chart is even better! (When does that update?)
-
nevercallmedebs
HELP! I can't get the 'Spill to load today - anyone else having trouble?? (I suspect it's down to an abundance of squirrels - should've let Kate & Anna McGarrigle's Southern Boys shoot one for breakfast... only kidding)
-
kalyr
The Hallowe'en list will need some Black Sabbath, of course.
-
xseawitch
cor, Sisters of Mercy and Nick Cave? Is it because Hallowe'en is coming up I wonder? ;-)
-
kalyr
Beware the Speng! I bet he's a huge fan of Akira the Dog.
-
TalkingScarlet
Speng follows us wherever we go - you should all know that by now.
-
treefrogdemon
eek...
-
xseawitch
wonder if Mr Speng will follow us here?
-
kalyr
Very, very different chart this week. Still got the Richard Thomson and All About Eve. Nice to see Pineapple Thief in there - I bought their album on the basis of hearing it on last.fm
-
kalyr
Will Goodbye Pluto become the new Akira the Dog?
-
shoey2 @barbryn Eine Symphonie Des Grauens, Jet Set Junta, Goodbye Joe & Forever Young are some of my faves.
-
barbryn The Monochrome Set are new to me - anyone want to recommend particular tracks?
-
tincanman2010 Check out Gaslight Anthem's new album the 59th Sound y'all. Young band's second/third album (one EP) and they have put it all together big time!
-
kalyr
Congratulations! You are the 100th poster on The Spill. You win a free download of Akira the Don!
-
TalkingScarlet
Isn't it about time someone did the 100th post? D'oh..............
-
kalyr
Panic Room high up on the "Unique to this group" list, I see. Ahráyeph on there as well.
-
xseawitch
That's a fine top ten this week, I'd listen to all of those, quite happily, you were right about Pink Floyd, Kalyr!
-
kalyr
I think they're listed as both Ahráyeph and Ahrayeph, which probably confuses things. Last.fm needs a facility to merge profiles of bands listed multiple times under different spellings. And that's before we even get into multiple bands with the same name - there are two Bad Companys and two Breathing Spaces, for starters.
-
xseawitch
no idea, even I haven't listened to them that much!
-
kalyr
Can someone explain why last.fm is showing only 151 listens of Ahráyeph, despite the fact they're coming up all the time on Radio 'Spill?
-
kalyr
Mr Cope seems to be coming up in heavy rotation on Radio 'Spill lately. (How frequently does it update - is it once a week, or more frequently). Been playing a lot of Panic Room as well.
