Music Room *It's fully soundproofed*

Lets forget about the footie and the weather, let's be transported to an imagined beautiful world where not only does the train go from New york to paris in 90 minutes, but everyone has spandex jackets, woo!!!

Donald Fagen - I.G.Y.

[Jah Lush]

One of my favourite songs from one of my favourite bands ever.

The Velvet Underground - Waiting For The Man

[SeanMacGabhann]

Nice one Jah

But as the gorgeous barmaid said to me in a bar in San Francisco when I put it on the jukebox, you can't get much for $26 dollars these days

;-)

[Jah Lush]

I remember you mentioning that once before Sean.

This is when they were very good indeed. The first two albums are classics.

Roxy Music - Do the Strand

[Jah Lush]

A classic from '77.

The Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop

[Brendan]

'77 - Good vintage.

[Jah Lush]

Some real American weirdness from '78. Are we not men?

Devo - Jocko Homo

[Fear 'n boozin]

this made me smile, and it *is* a song....

[mockney piers]

ha ha ha! 'Dot Cotton have more chance to score goals'.

[Jah Lush]

Can't believe this is 16 years old, where'd the time go?

Future Sound Of London - Papua New Guinea

[barrymarshall]

Good lord, I dug out that one a while back! It reminds me of raves we had in the woods at university, our very own mini second summer of love in 1998.

In terms of eco-dance stuff, you must have heard this Jah:

Classic video too.

[Jah Lush]

Heard it? I've got it mate.

To continue in the same vain. You must remember this one.

A Guy Called Gerald - Voodoo Ray

[mockney piers]

Me too BM, I seem to recall LozzyLoz liked it too, that must make it the forum's favourite choon so far!!

[barrymarshall]

Yes yes, yes ... Coldcut are legends.

What about this great slice of neo-Northern Soul mixed up with some fine beats?

Coldcut and Lisa Stansfield - People Hold On

She's a Lancashire lass, which makes it all the better ...

And Jah, yup, love love love that track. >:D<

Actually, I've been on a bit of a DnB renaissance lately. In fact, off to The End tonight to rinse it with some old skool dnb tunez

[Jah Lush]

Chemical Brothers

[SeanMacGabhann]

as I mentioned it on another thread, how about some fire and brimstone

The Mercy Seat - Nick Cave

[barrymarshall]

Have been heavily revisiting Led Zeppelin lately - got their latest Best Of, Mothership, the oter day. The remasters have done an excellent job with the sound quality, which makes LZ sound like nothing you have heard before. A bit of a shame on the selection of tracks (I'd have liked Thank You or Gallows Pole on there, for instance) but it's a great reminder of their musicianship and arrangements, but also of how diverse their sound was - swamp blues, folk, heavy metal, funk, reggae (okay, we can forget D'Yer Maker) ...

As featured in today's Grauniad:

Cracking alt.country americana.

Playing in Kilburn on Friday so I might take a trip.

"You know when you haven't listened to a band for ages and you forget how good they were/are?

I had that with the Beta Band this morning, listening to them on the bus.

Here's Assessment, from their final ablum (sniff)."

MP replied:

"*dries eyes*

I saw their last ever gig (or so I'm told) in elephant & castle, a sad sad night for all."

So you guys should love this

Suggestion for the music-loving folk of ED

As we are likely to bump into at least several of each other before Christmas (at the Plough party for example) how about the following exchange of Christmas presents

Take several CD-rs, choose 10 tracks favoured by you, burn several copies - keep available at all times should you bump into a fellow-forumite - "ah Happy Christmas, here you are"

[barrymarshall]

Citizen - I have neither seen the movie nor read the book. However, on the strength of that clip, I think I shall. Cheers!

SMG - nice idea. I love making CDRs.

[mockney piers]

A very Nick Hornby idea, a darned fine one at that.

I'm scribbling a top ten list as we speak. Top 10 tunes to cheer myself up on a wintry morning I think....

And cheers for the clip Citizen, I was saying the other day how that film just shouldn't have worked transposed to the states, but amazingly does...really well!!

[mockney piers]

If this isn't the coolest music video around at the mo' I'll eat my hat

I love this band have all of their records and this track is gorgeous.

Saint Etienne - Hobart Paving

[mockney piers]

This song popped up on my random tunes, so dug this out of youtube, the subways apparently playing in a local library...weird.

The Subways - I want to hear what you have got to say
