Music Room *It's fully soundproofed*

I sure have been to the Chapel before. I saw Luka Bloom a few months back, and in the summertime Someone Who Posts A Lot In The Music Room suggested we see an afternoon performance by a singer who was very sweet and nice and could have done with a cuddle and a nice cup of tea

Nice proper pub behind the Chapel as well for pre/after-show drinks

BBC Electric Proms Anyone?

clearly offices aren't doing anything to dispel end-of-holiday gloom

Sisters of Mercy - Some Kind of Stranger

[SeanMacGabhann]

I lived that song back in the day young Mockers

"Because the world is cruel and

Promises are broken

Don't try to tell me

Anything don't try to tell me

You'll be true to me you know the

Real truth is never spoken

And I know the world is cold but

If you hold on tight to what you

Find you might not mind too much though

Even this must pass away and

Memories may last for years but

Names are just for souvenirs

Some kind of angel let me

Look into your eyes

Don't give me whys and wherefores

Reason or surprise

I don't care for words that don't belong

And I don't care what you're called

Tell me later if at all

I can wait a long long time

Before I hear another love song"

Ah happy days...

[giggirl]

Ahh - where would we all be without cut and paste

[SeanMacGabhann]

if anyone even thought that I typed that out from memory.....

Played a mix of this at home last night. Turn it up LOUD!!!

Fatboy Slim - Michael Jackson

[Brendan]

Not a song but look at the caption for the picture in this article. Bloody brilliant.

[Jah Lush]

Quite right too!

Serves as a good excuse to put the Ramones on. I saw them once. 25 songs in under an hour. All played at breakneck speed. Fecking brilliant

The Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop

[Brendan]

Great isn?t it! I have a Ramones cd that has 30 songs on it with a playing time of about an hour.

Which reminds me, a few years back Fat Wreck Chords released a compilation album called Short Music for Short People. It has 101 punk songs on it all averaging 30 seconds in length.

[Brendan]

While on the subject of punk.

This took me back to my yoof.

New York Dolls - Personality Crisis

[giggirl]

It tough being a rock star. This week my heart goes out to Jack White. He is reportedly upset that Coca Cola is using his Bond theme duet with Alicia Keys on a television advert. Apparently he is very "disappointed" and he doesn't see advertising as an appropriate use of his music. Who do those bastards at Coca Cola think they are?

Moving swiftly on, here's a great little coke commercial from way back in 2006 with music by, erm, The White Stripes.

[mockney piers]

ha ha, brilliant.

What he means he objects to not being paid enough I'm guessing.

[Brendan]

By rights couldn't Coke sue the White Stripes for copyright infringements? They did steal their colour scheme.

[Jah Lush]

Ha! What a hypocrite.

[SeanMacGabhann]

well not really is he? He once sanctioned a song for use in a Coke ad - that got used. He didn't sanction another song - but that got used as well. I think he's in the right on this one. I mean if he HAD gone off and done a big "I would never sanction a song with Coca Cola" spiel he would be a hypocrite but I don't think he has done that...

[Brendan]

The term spiel comes from the Germanic word for game/play.

[citizenED]

Then spiel this, young man - something tranquil, mournful and incredibly beautiful for a weekend.

Roberts Flack - The first time ever I saw your face

[Bellenden Belle]

Ahhh, good choice citizened. That was the song my father dedicated to my mother....released the year they met I believe. I still have it on LP somewhere.

Two things:

I've just received 2 tickets for Glasvegas in this morning's post and I can't use them. Gig is tonight at the Scala, Kings Cross. If anyone wants the tickets please PM me. You'll need to collect from Holborn, which is on the way to the Scala anyway.

Secondly, The Killers are doing a one-off gig at the Albert Hall in November. Tickets are on sale tomorrow (24th) from noon.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Ooooh that's a good offer giggirl - but I have to pass. Appreciate the regulat opportunities tho'

[giggirl]

Glasvegas - allegedly the band of the moment and I can't give away two tickets to the allegedly hip people of ED! Gig is tonight at The Scala Kings Cross. You'll need to collect from me in Holborn. Please PM me now if you want these because otherwise I'll have to throw them away and I just so hate waste!

[giggirl]

The Killers' gig at the Royal Albert Hall on 3rd November goes on sale today (Wednesday) at noon.
