Music Room *It's fully soundproofed*

Innovative Portland outfit Menomena - Wet & Rusty

[david_carnell]

Is not the point about Jack White that his duet with Alicia Keys is feckin' dreadful!

Another Way To Die - Well I suppose it's difficult to get something to rhyme with "Quantum" or "Solace".

[Moos]

Alliteration with 'wanton' might yield fruitful results?

[Jah Lush]

Tune!

Saint Etienne - Heart Failed In The Back Of A Taxi

[Jah Lush]

Just fancied hearing this again for some reason.

The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name

[giggirl]

Davids Gilmour and Bowie sharing a dark moment - Comfortably Numb

[Jah Lush]

One of my all-time favourite reggae tunes. I still have the original 12inch single.

Doctor Alimantado - Born For A Purpose/Reason For Living

[mockney piers]

The lovely lovely Laura Viers, Wrecking

[david_carnell]

Great choice Piers. Always a winner with me.

This was the track used at this year's Labour conference. Now it may be lyrically suspect but WHAT a tune! And to think we had to put up with D-Ream:

I could dance to this all night long - and have done.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Saturday morning stuff I

SMS II

[Brendan]

Saturday moaning stuff

[Jah Lush]

Play this and whack it up loud. No, louder than that. I mean FECKING LOUD!!!!!!

[Brendan]

Turn this up really loud.

It's morning and time to Arise

[Brendan]

Ok that was just masochistic. I think I need to go have a lie down.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Lady Mac gets very upset if I play SMS I PCG....

[Jah Lush]

Top Tune from '68.

"When you were down and out

I used to help out

but now that you win jackpot

You don't remember that."

Lee "Scratch" Perry - People Funny Boy

[Brendan]

Top tune indeed!

Is that scratching in the intro?

Oasis (if you like that sort of thing), playing the BBC Electric Proms at the Roundhouse. Tickets onsale via www.seetickets.com from 8.15am on Tuesday 30th September.

JOAN BAEZ - I don't know much about her, other than she once shacked up with Bob Dylan. So she's probably quite folky then. I've been sent tickets for her gig tomorrow night (Thursday 2nd) at the Royal Albert Hall. They are really lovely stalls seats and I don't want them to go to waste. If anyone would like to go and can collect the tickets from me tonight in LL then please PM me and you can have them with my compliments.

BASEMENT JAXX - playing at the Roundhouse on Saturday 21 Feb. This is the perfect venue for them so should be a great gig. You can buy direct from 10.00am tomorrow at www.roundhouse.org.uk

[giggirl]

TALKING HEADS anyone? Not really, but David Byrne with a promise to do all the Talking Heads hits. So what's not to like? Playing two nights at the Festival Hall next April and on sale tomorrow. I'm a member at the RFH so I bought my tickets this morning. Ticket sales just to members have been substantial - so if you want to go get on the phone tomorrow and book it. The RFH still takes returns so if can't plan this far ahead then book it anyway - if you can't go you can still get a refund.

Happy memories from 2006 End of the Road festival - yes it is that uncrowded! Plus a bonus Life Aquatic person on stage!

If Mockney Piers doesn't like this I'll eat my alt.country stetson:

Guardian article about First Aid Kit - "dazzling, pine-scented folk that sounds deeply in thrall to the country-infused Americana of Neil Young, Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, and also gives a nod to the more recent twists added by Conor Oberst and Bon Iver."

MySpace site of the above

Their cover of the Fleet Foxes

[mockney piers]

You're not coming home hooked me immediately.

Nice!!! Cheers D_C.

Rather confused by the category "Folk / Acoustic / Japanese Pop" on myspace?!?

Are Fleet Foxes like that? I see their albums on the cheap in Fopp all the time Might have to give them a go.

[mockney piers]

They remind me of Turin Brakes with a dash of We're from Barcelona funnily enough.
