Music Room *It's fully soundproofed*

[mockney piers]

Prog-rocktastic (I can't believe I just said that in public)

The Mars Volta - Inertiatic ESP

[Fear 'n boozin]

[mockney piers]

grey clouds, hangover, lonely, stuck in norf london, I guess I'm feeling a bit..

Cherry Ghost - People Help the People

[SeanMacGabhann]

Some Walker Brother-esque sounds to lif the mood on a grey day

[ben]

Continuing the Scott Walker connection -

The Teardrop Explodes

[mockney piers]

Not possible to continue much of anything with this one..

Half Man Half Biscuit - Paintball's Coming Home

and..

Half Man Half Biscuit - 24 Hour Garage People

[mockney piers]

How about songs you purchased as a kid, that you look back now and just wonder why god why?

Paul McCartney - Take it Away

truly horrible!!

[SeanMacGabhann]

I remember that song as painful at the time - but I have nothing to be smug at

[Fear 'n boozin]

Wow, there's so much I could post here, thanks to my liberated and tasteful musical purchasing, from Scatman John, to Sesame's Treet, maybe adding a dash of Belinda Carlisle. Then I'd move on to some funky

, bust a grove to SL2 and end up luvin Vanessa.....

[mockney piers]

Rather disturbingly I'm finding Cheryl Baker in spray on metallic orange hotpants strangely alluring.

Terrible terrible song, however I'm guessing from the main refrain that it's "One of those Nights".

I want to hate this, that awful synth bass, nasty drum machine, that tinkling motif, the pointless lyrics.

but....still...

The Cars - Drive

[SeanMacGabhann]

My fault again - but hard to check with no youtube access. I'm having to google the song and hope the link works

Re: The Cars. I think it was Andrew Eldritch of The Sisters of Mercy who said at the time, apropos of reminding his slavish goth followers there was more to life than wearing black and drinking snakebite, that The Cars may not make sense in a windswept Leeds-bound transit van, but if you were in an open-top car driving down Sanata Monica Blvd it was just the business..

[Fear 'n boozin]

This thread is making feel wrong. MP - I know what you mean, heard That's just the way it is today and, well, I think I erred on liking it. Sean - I may not be in a position to talk, but that is disgusting! However, the girls at work have asked me post this in response:

.

[mockney piers]

Again, so wrong, but still theresa wassername is cute despite the inadvisable frou frou thing.

I'd loved to have been the tube heading to white city on TOTP night in the early 80s.

What a bunch of idiots. Was that A fez?!?!

There is no merit to this one, I have to hang my head in shame.

The Flying Pickets - Only You

[Fear 'n boozin]

Cool Cats!

Culture Club

[Asset]

I liked some of The Cars. Dunno what the album was called but it had "My Best Friends Girlfriend" on it.

[Jah Lush]

Hey I've got that on a picture disk, about the only thing I liked of theirs.

[mockney piers]

Well I do own this, but it's on the Flaming Lips' Another Late Night compilation, so it's not my fault, blame Wayne Coyne.

10CC - I'm not In Love

[Keef]

If we're talking embarrassing tunes from our early years, T.U.R.T.L.E POWER by Partners in Kryme is probably the most embarrassing!

Note: I have no sound at work, so I'm hoping this is the right link!

[mockney piers]

Ooh, perhaps enough embarrassment for the time being.

To get me in the weekend mood, and because I've passed out on the ranch floor, I think an Ikara Colt double bill:

Modern Feeling

Wanna Be That Way

I've just discovered they called it a day a little while back. Sad.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Some uplifting tunes for the weekend - splendid idea

Wish I could actually LISTEN to these at work but still..

[mockney piers]

I crank it up, you calm it down.

Here we go again

British Sea Power:

Remember Me

Apologies To Insect Life

Awesome band, total loons, I saw them about 6 times supporting the likes of The Flaming Lips before I even knew their name

Still victorian nymphs spanking in gardens always helps :D

[SeanMacGabhann]

I saw them supporting the Lips as well - Bristol Academy being the first!

Right - you want it cranked up?

Blues For Ceausescu

but maybe you want loud AND a bit more uplifting

Secret Machines - Lightning Blue Eyes

[mockney piers]

clever video (the latter), pretty pretty girl, hardly a milf though.

Keeping the pretty girls/ready for the weekend geeetar thing going...

The Raveonettes - That Great Love Song

and MILFs? she's bound to be one by now.

Transvision Vamp - Baby I don't Care*

*probably belongs in the guilty pleasures section this one.

[Mark]

Some pure class on a Sunday lunchtime:

Brotherhood of Man - Angelo

[mockney piers]

haha, that's class indeed.

Though it did remind me somewhat of this:

Alan Partridge - Abba Medley
