I love your music taste Lee! This is Four Winds https://unquietnights.bandcamp.com/track/four-winds-single I love it, you might like it too ;)

Apologies for the wall intrusion. I'm in a band that's just released our first (and free) ep and thought (based on our compatibility) you miiiight enjoy it. Cheers/Have a good day! https://pethates.bandcamp.com/releases

Thank you for checking out our tunes! Cheers from Greece to the UK

Early Elton - choice Monday tuneage!

Thanks for the add. Great list of music you have. If you like Stone Temple Pilots, you might like Lorenzo: http://www.last.fm/music/Lorenzo/Ignition and http://www.last.fm/music/Lorenzo/Love+Shape+Bruise.

I actually just got it in the mail a few days ago! Preordered it from Rockathon. I've only given it a few listens but it keeps getting better and better! I'm not digging it as much as I like Class Clown, but it's still amazing. Definitely give it a listen ASAP!

He's probably written a couple of albums since I fell asleep last night! Haha. And yep, I'm stoked! Got it preordered. I've loved the singles they've released (Keep it In Motion and Jon the Croc) from it, and I loved Let's Go Eat the Factory, so I can't wait to hear the album.

I love Let it Beard. That was my first taste of Bob's non-GBV stuff and it grew on me a ton after a couple listens. Amazing album. I'll check out that Mars Classroom LP as well! It's inhuman how much music Bob has released. Haha.

Thanks for the rec! I'll be sure to check it out. I've been listening to a ton of GBV so I thought I'd check out some of Bob's solo stuff as well.

eh it's prog, i've got plenty of time to wander away :p and anyway lots of NZ indie was played this morning...need to balance it !

Always my good man!

nice charts sir! do you write for that blog you have linked?

Let me know what you think.

Yeh I am liking the State Cows. You should check out my band http://www.myspace.com/gonzoandtherazz

Got to love Toto.

"Tell 'em what's up, Rocky!"

you're welcome :)

Thanks for the link, I saw your post yesterday evening @ Hell In The Club's page and read the article :) I really like the CD (I've got it since Saturday)

That's an interesting read, thanks for the link.

Yeah, I think I've got one of those kicking around somewhere from back in the day. It comes in an oversized cardboard envelope if memory serves ?

I can't quite tell from the sample on amazon, but I think it may be the single mix thats included on the 'greatest hits' cd.

A dvd is long overdue, but I think they had the opportunity when they released that random Greatest Hits cd to include one, so alas I don't think it will ever appear.

I've only got those that I sent a while back - 'What Do I Get' and 'This Is The Sound Of Someone Else'. The former is one of their best tracks methinks.

According to this (http://vu.morrissey-solo.com/sleeper/2000/music/disc/disc.htm) there were only 6 'proper' tracks, and a few 'evening session' tracks etc.

Yeah, think they include pretty much all the b-sides (including a few 7" vinyl-only tracks). Doubt the third album will get the same treatment though.

Smart and The It Girl are getting 2cd reissues : http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/17063678/The-It-Girl/Product.html

Good stuff, I'll be keeping an eye out for that.

It was amazing! And being their final every UK gig, it was very emotional - the last song was These Days which made me cry like a baby. The setlist was good, they did some older songs like Pick You Up, Already Gone and Don't Wanna Be Left Out and Thrilloilogy was brilliant. Bless My Soul and On My Mind had everyone bouncing around like nutcases. And I got to meet Bernie and Ian afterwards!! *points to profile pic* Sadly I didn't get to meet Darren, JC or Cogsy as my brother-in-law was waiting to take me home and it was past midnight by then. But 2/5 is OK :o)

Interesting blog, thanks. I do enjoy a bit of RTRC.

Hi 'a celebration of Dexys', July 17th in Birmingham, interested?

a belated hello to you! ive got a recommendation for you...dead mans bones. not as anything ive heard but i like it! hope all is good with you :o)

Live is live ... Many bands do not even try to play live anymore.

Cool. I saw Oasis twice and I've seen Enrique Iglesias twice as well.

Looking at your list of artists you've seen live makes me feel rather inferior - the upcoming Powderfinger show is going to be my fifth concert ever. I'm not counting the concerts my parents took me to when I was little as that wasn't my choice of artist! :o)

Fantastic, great new stage, new songs, everything :oD

Cool! I have about 100 songs a friend dumped on me just now, but I'll certainly get round to giving it a listen. Hope it's on spotify.

No problem. It just means 'wide-reaching', 'varied', though.

the czars are good buddy well worth the gamble, now i want more

Hi there! I meant to do it long ago, but I added your site to my sidebar. I like reading your reviews and their lack of prejudice. Though I complain about prejudice in a lot of my reviews (it /is/ supposedly for things I think are underplayed), I have plenty of my own - and I plan to check out some of the stuff you reccommend :) -------- http://famishedcandiru.blogspot.com/

Cool, I will see them at the LG Arena, I wish I could see them at all the shows, even the special guest show for 500 people.

And I do :oD

I like the Elder quite a bit.

Thanks, sorry I forgot! Now I just have to work out where the friend requests are in the new-style fb....

good news buddy, holiday accepted for sonisphere wooo hoo, see you when i get back, take care mate

D'ya remember [artist]XC-NN[/artist] (they were called CNN until the lawyers go onto it)? Kinda industrial-tinged rock band formed by Tim Bricheno after his stint in Sisters Of Mercy. Gonna dig some out for CaB tomorrow, methinks.

Brilliant, I'll have a look over the weekend. I'll link to it as well.

I owe so much pleasure to musical discoveries from blogs, so I though I'd make my own. I'll certainly keep a close eye on yours - I love reading passionate muso writings

Yeah man! I've loved it so far. you been following it? Fave so far? :D x

king of the mountain ?

Ah, bit of the Straits, is it? There was a busker in town on xmas eve playing 'Your Latest Trick' - we know how to do festive in LoBo! PS - thanks for the text, not sure if I replied or not because I am an idiot.
