Music Room *It's fully soundproofed*

Finally, I wanted to post one of my all time guitar idols. There's not a lot of footage of him because he died so young, but there was no one as good as the polker dotted flying V playing Randy Rhodes.

With Control hitting the cinemas, I thought I'd pop up a little Joy Division

Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But these guys are good in their own rights too

Interpol - NYC

Editors - Munich

and finally, couldn't resist

Half Man half Biscuit - Joy Division Oven Gloves

[Jah Lush]

England's greatest guitar God - Jeff Beck.

[mockney piers]

This is the bestmmusic and dance performance I've EVER seen.

Miss Douglas plays Star Wars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wffwg7pA0t8

[Jah Lush]

Love this band. Has anyone got their new album yet?

The Coral

I was talking to someone last night about this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewWyW6lT1HE

Just picked up a copy of the new Roisin Murphy album, Overpowered. I hope it's really good, loved her last album she did with Matthew Herbert. Not had chance to listen to this yet, tho. So tecnhically I shouldn't be posting this ... Doh, will get back to you soon.

[barrymarshall]

Roisin Murphy: actually the new record is okay - bit housey now and then, but a seventies/eighties icey electroness pervades. I hope she gets a bit more recognition this time. As I was reading yesterday, can it really be almost a decade since "Sing it Back"?

[mockney piers]

and some Roisin Murphy* links

Overpowered

Sow into You

*you couldn't have a more Irish name if you were called Sean MacGabhann

[SeanMacGabhann]

very good, very clever :)

I have heard many good things about the new album and liked the 2 songs I have heard but 10 years on from Moloko or not, I can't hear 5 seconds of The Time Is Now without wanting to damage something. Anything

Could be repetitious use by Sky Sports

Or it could be repetitious use by neighbours until 5am

either way, her voice is associated with Bad Things

[mockney piers]

I know how you feel. Sing it Back provokes similar reactions in me.

Songs most likely to make you take a rolling pin to your 80gb iPod toaster?

Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On

[SeanMacGabhann]

Sadly most of Moby's Play does the same thing now ( I THINK there was a time when I liked it..)

[david_carnell]

This pretty much turns me, David Banner like, into a raging monster:

[mockney piers]

Oh god yes, any of those bubblegum eurotrash tunes make me go a bit wild-eyed and throbbing-templed.

This tune was a favourite of one of the chaps in the hifi shop I worked in as a student and used as his classic demo cd, cranking it up anything up to 50-60 times on a saturday.

It makes me want to kill people.

Aeorsmith - Love in an Elevator

[Jah Lush]

Aaargh! Stop it yer bastards. Please please stop. Life's too short to listen to these shitty ear worms that irritate the hell out of us. Let's have something decent please.

I know this has been on loads of adverts but it's still a stonking classic.

Iggy Pop

The Passenger

[SeanMacGabhann]

If I say the rhythm section on that track is the same as Tin Machine Jah, will it put you off?

[Brendan]

I remember that Aerosmith Love in an Elevator video being a firm favorite of mine when I was a pubescent boy.

Definitely not. Hunt and Tony Sales wasn't it? It was just all the guitar wankery and poor songs that did it for me in Tin Machine.

[SeanMacGabhann]

spot on Jah

Out of 28 odd songs in their repertoire, maybe 4 or 5 are much cop which is a shocking return really. But that's 4 or 5 more songs than most people think/agree with me on so...

[mockney piers]

OK, we're ditching the headache music are we?

A bit of post rock* for you then

65 Days of Static - Drove Through ghosts and Retreat Retreat

Is post rock just a young persons label for prog, a bit like emo is pop-goth-lite and nu-rave is err...rave?

[Jah Lush]

Yup, you said it Mockney. I make you right there. Labels labels labels, that's all we seem to do in this country of ours put bloody labels on everything.

[mockney piers]

very true.

I think the dance music scene was probably worse than anything else for that.

I loved proper rave, everyone together, all loved up, dancing like an idiot, it really about the music as long as it got everyone going.

I think I washed my hands of the whole scene in about '93 when all that horrible terminology came into play and everything fractured into scenes; the hard-sub-proto-house-kids versus the happy-intelligent-beatniks who never darkened the doorsteps of the progressive-break-trip-miami-speed-synth-euro-clashers hating the dark-2-step-goan-psy-techno-trancers.

AAAAAAAAAGH

Anyway, a blast from the past

Family Foundation - Express Yourself

No doubt I've got it all wrong and this isn't rave at all but deep house hardcore :-$

[Jah Lush]

Who cares, let's enjoy it anyway. Happy House? Der....aah! Going to raves, finding it's on some farmland off the M25, house parties, warehouse parties, arms aloft, shirt off, dancing like a lunatic for hours on end, e'd of your tits, "I love you maan," no violence, smiley happy people. Those were the days. God! I'm really sounding like an old git now.

Have some of this maaaan and get into a Higher State of Consciousness.

Josh Wink

[mockney piers]

Maybe Jah, maybe...but those WERE the days. Scene was completely gone on my return to the south.

I blame coke myself, ruined the heady atmosphere.

Yeah Baby!! Cubik
