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.

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.

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

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...

    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic. 
    • To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
    • You don’t think there are right-wing politicians fanning this with rhetoric? Really?
