Should the rating system on iPod/iTunes (and Sony thingies as it goes) be out of ten rather than 5?

I mean, you can't pack the nuances between good and shit with just 5 stars can you.

Plus I use the 1 star as a signifier that it was a bad rip and needs to be redone, so really it's out of 4, rubbish.

New Doves album 'Kingdom Of Rust' is mighty fine, and highly recommended.

Bet they get annoyed with constantly being compared to Elbow though...

[mockney piers]

Oh yes, listening, not ranting, I remember.

Just did my Fopp spree.

New Decemberists, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Bat for Lashes and Yo La Tengo albums plus a couple of others.

Will report back, but Decemberists already shaping up to top their last sublime album!!

IO saw the Doves there, but was already knocking on the door of 70 quid and decided to leave it for another day.

[mockney piers]

well, they haven't lost their touch for a dark song!!!

The Rake

-----------

I had entered into a marriage

In the summer of my twenty-first year

And the bells rang for our wedding

Only now do I remember it clear

Alright, alright, alright

No more a rake and no more a bachelor

I was wedded and it whetted my thirst

Until her womb start spilling out babies

Only then did I reckon my curse

Alright, alright, alright

Alright, alright, alright

First came Isaiah with his crinkled little fingers

Then came Charlotte and that wretched girl Dawn

Ugly Myfanwy died on delivery

Mercifully taking her mother along

Alright, alright, alright

What can one do when one is widower

Shamefully saddled with three little pests

All that I wanted was the freedom of a new life

So my burden I began to divest

Alright, alright, alright

Alright, alright, alright

Charlotte I buried after feeding her foxglove

Dawn was easy, she was drowned in the bath

Isaiah fought but was easily bested

Burned his body for incurring my wrath

Alright, alright, alright

And that's how I came your humble narrator

To be living so easy and free

Expect you think that I should be haunted

But it never really bothers me

Alright, alright, alright

Alright, alright, alright

RUN DMC

Whose House? Runs House!

[mockney piers]

Oh yes, and Polly Harvey's new one, gosh what a lot of good new albums out at once

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Marlene Dietrich - think it's all that talk about high-waisted trousers today.

[Eliza.D]

Plucked out Elton John's 'Tumble weed Connection' Still a good listen.

[Jah Lush]

Seldom Seen Kid - Elbow, Third - Portishead, PJ Harvey and some old ambient dub albums.

[mockney piers]

SSK is a lovely album, is that the new PJ Harvey or the amazing White Chalk which I know you're partial to?

And you'll love (or maybe already do) the new Bat for Lashes, showing real maturity over her first (which I also enjoyed a lot)

Daniel

[Jah Lush]

No I was playing some of her older stuff in preparation for going out and buying the newy with John Parish. I love PJ Harvey, she is an awesome talent. I'll definitely be investing in the new Bat For Lashes as well.

[Narnia]

I recently purchased an old Elton John one called Madman across the Water which I remembered from years ago and really liked (most of). Also bought Yes's Close to the Edge an old favourite of mine.

[Andystar]

i'm listening to

Sigur Ros - beautiful music, saw them in Melbourne- they rocked.

Polysics- japanese electro-rock

- Canadian alt rock

- Maladroit rocks

- what's better than Arnie + metal- metal songs abt Arnie

Regina Specktor- quite possibly the most beautiful song ever.

and a really catchy song on Xfm ( sadly the dj never mention the band name or song title ) [i think the lyrics include the following lines- nobodys' watching, everybodys watching *mumbles something* ..watchout..*other lyrics*..and it breaks my heart in 2]

1st person to name the band/ song gets a beer...

[flapjackdavey]

well .... earlier on this evening I was listening to A Black Box by Peter Hammill , but now I'm listening to For Pence And Spicy Ale by The Watersons ... how's that for eclectic .
