Blimey - Dinosaur Jr - saw them on the Rollercoaster tour in Plymouth many many years ago with Blur, Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine....brings back good memories!

[mockney piers]

Well Jesus and Mary Chain have reformed recently and those MBV rumours persist

[Fear 'n boozin]

I didn't get tickets for Carter USM :(

[BarryRoad]

I haven't heard that ice cream van since I posted. I hope he's not an offended reader!

I am listening to Soul, Jazz Funk and US House. A fellow ED resident and I (amongst others) will be attending the Southport Dance Music weekender this weekend.There are rumours of a certain Stevie Wonder attending!

I've seen many greats there over the years......Donald Byrd, Roy Ayers, Jean Carne, Maze, Beverly Knight (before she lost the heavy brummie accent)and Incognito...to name a few. DJ's Norman Jay, Louie Vega/Masters at Work, Jazzy Jeff, Joey Negro..The list goes on.

I am currently listening to Solar Radio on SKY digital channel 0129 or www.solarradio.com (Great msic) and some great Philly music. My daughter also makes sure I listen to her wheels on the bus CD!!

Where are the soul heads on the forum?

[TillieTrotter]

Any reggae heads out there or in here? listening to ganga farmer by Marlon Asher....superb:)

[Huguenot]

Can anyone find me a copy of Cats UK and 'Luton Airport', as inspired by the glorious Lorraine Chase?

[Jah Lush]

You know I am Tillie. I got an excellent triple album box set of King Tubby last week for a fiver. Unfortunately I'd already got one of the CDs inside, so you can have the spare copy of Crucial Dub if you want it. Bim! Dub it up stylee>:D

[Bellenden Belle]

Are there no Rufus Wainwright fans out there? I'm counting the days til the next album...

I like a bit of Liza Minnelli and a few musicals too (start the day with The Producers and you are guaranteed a good 'un).

But they did play All that Jazz from Chicago on the radio last week and I was so excited I danced on my glasses. Life's a little blurry now ...

[mockney piers]

Couldn't really gel with Rufus Wainwright I'm afraid. I love his sister though.

B*****y M****r F*****g A*******s is such a powerful song, sung right from the heart too that it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. It's all about touring with her dad and her realisation that he's a pompous egomaniac who made the rest of the family miserable; laugh a minute!!

Rufus just isn't my thing. Too close to opera for my liking, I can do Antony & The Jonsons, and ex Jonson, Joan as Police Woman is rather good for that moody jazz sound, but Rufus just a step too far for me I guess.

..and good to see you back BB :D

I'm listening to Andrew Bird a lot at the moment.

[Bellenden Belle]

Ahhh, that's very sweet of you Mockney.

I used to have real problems with Martha but I saw her on Wednesday at the Royal Opera House singing Kurt Weil's Seven Deadly Sins. Wow - she was absolutely amazing, her voice was so well matched with the piece.

Rufus does have his opera moments but there's lots of light pop too. And he's lovely eye candy too!

My first wedding dance was to Rufus - a choreographed jive no less!

[Keef]

I love Martha's voice, but haven't yet heard enough to really judge her stuff.. Only heard a couple of things by Rufus, and not really my bag to be honest.

As Piers says, nice to see you posting again BB.

[mockney piers]

Eye candy he may be, but I don't think you'll be getting very far by plying him with a few drink I'm afraid ;)

[Bellenden Belle]

Hee hee - you may have a point there - a girl can dream though! He's very entertaining live though. Do you think the forum might have a whip round for me so I can see Babs live in the summer. ?500 a ticket - ouch!

[mockney piers]

Well we managed one for the GG festival, you may pushing your luck with this one though ;)

?500 ?!!?!?! Are we talking Streisand here or the Queen btw?

[Bellenden Belle]

It could only be Streisand...

I would love to see her belting out Don't Rain on my Parade or wailing the soundtrack of Yentil...

Which Queen were you thinking of?

[mockney piers]

Her madge. I'd pay $500 to watch her breakdancing, perhaps with a litlle beatboxing and some gangsta.

"One is da boss with more power than whitehall, spitting ones rhymes from the palace on da mall"

err...I'll get my coat

[Bellenden Belle]

MMmmmm, that post reminds me of The Verve - although it would seem for once The Drugs Do Work.

Personally I always think of Her Madge sucking a Werthers Original while watching Eastenders.

[Incitatus]

The

raps!

Cheap shot I know but hey it's Friday and it does make laugh, has the man never heard of Ali G ?

[Mark]

Fur Q - Uzi Lover

The first line always amuses me:

"C*nt. B*tch. C*nt B*tch Mutha F*ucker!"

[mockney piers]

An absolute classic. funnily enough I sent someone a link to The Day Today - War earlier
