Music Room *It's fully soundproofed*

Gavin Friday is just so hot. I could listen to that voice read the telephone book and beg for more.

[giggirl]

This is one of my favourite songs (I'm an old fashioned girl) and I adore Michael Stipe. Not too sure about Natalie Merchant or her strange dress (miaw), but always loving Michael

Lovely Michael Stipe To Sir with Love

Did I just do that right I wonder?

[David Mc]

Still on "To Sir With Love", I'm not really a Tina Arena fan - but my partner's appreciation of her brought this song to my attention. The song's a corker!

I heard it done fabulously by Lulu at the Palladium for a Don Black (the lyricist) celebration recently. Anyway (best ignore the visuals and concentrate on the music), for what it's worth, Arena's version (with heavy Savage Garden influences I think):

I was forced to sing "Darlin" by Frankie Miller (though I think the Johnny Reid version is best) whilst doing the cleaning with my mammy when I was young ..My young son sings it now also which always brings a tear to my eye and will stay with me forever!

Because I can.

George Jones - He Stopped Loving Her Today

Still some tickets left to see Glasvegas on their official website: http://www.artistticket.com/link/?c=347829

[Jah Lush]

Talking of which.

Glasvegas - Geraldine

[Jah Lush]

Blimey, never seen this clip before now. The Faces at the Marquee Club in 1970. Gorgeous song, great band, lovely understated soulful performance, obviously enjoying themselves and have had a few as was their want. Wonderful.

Devotion - The Faces

[citizenED]

Thanks for that absolutely soulful delight, Jah. Feel so sad that I first got to know Rod Stewart through the "Sailing" phase. Why oh why, Rod.

I'm quite liking this at the moment.

Tracy Thorn - Raise the Roof

Love the video

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I too thoroughly enjoyed it Jah. Spent the next hour playing various Faces. Don't you think Keef has something of the Ronnie Lane about him?

[Jah Lush]

Oh thanks. Do you reckon PGC? Any excuse to put some Ronnie Lane on then coz I love and miss him.

[Jah Lush]

I'm rather fond of this band. They have a Singles Collection out next week and this is on it. Good stuff.

Don't Think You're The First - The Coral

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Ooh - liked that Jah. Kind of Moody Blues meets Madness!

[citizenED]

Like the Coral too, Jah. But not quite as much as I like this lot

Sparklehorse - Sick of Goodbyes

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Not sure about that one Cit.Ed. Could imagine getting quite restless at a concert, but ok as background stuff. C+ - could do better!

[david_carnell]

Just discovered this guy, marvellous stuff:

Hope it meets with teacher's approval. What says you PGC?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Bon iver. Played a blinder today at the end of the road festival. Apparantly

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Ooh no D_C. How could I take anyone seriously who dresses like Benny from Crossroads?

[citizenED]

Yep, I'm fearful of posting anything up here now, with Miss Crasher prowling the corridors. I'm skulking off to get musically re-educated.

[eavesdropper]

Do you have a music room to hire?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Here you go CitizenEd

start at the very beginning ...

[giggirl]

Any Lambchop fans? Two nice gigs at the Union Chapel Church (great venue) in north London. Buy direct here:

[SeanMacGabhann]

Already got my tickets fort that one gig girl. Cant wait.

Saw kurt play solo at the end of the road festival at the weekend too

[giggirl]

Mr M - You had the luck of the Irish with the weather for the end of the road! I really pity the poor folk at Bestival last weekend.

Have you been to Union Chapel before? It's such a fabulous venue run by really nice people. In previous years it's where Jo Wiley has held her Little Noise acoustic sessions and she's a woman with an enviable address book at her disposal. I hope she does some more this year; I'll post if she does.

Are there any headbangers from the forum going to the Metallica gig tonight?
