Dear Mr Mockney Piers,

I just watched that video again, and it made me feel so good. Can I recommend that everyone on the forum watches it immediately?

Thanks my lovely,

DM

Anyone else like Bright Eyes? He's got a new single out, which is rather good:

Bright Eyes on Youtube

[mockney piers]

I used to like him.

Then I went to see him live and realised that there wasn't any sense of irony in the lad. I'd always thought he got the joke, but he doesn't, and his fans were even worse, absolutely insufferable.

My friends and I retreated to a pub within 20 minutes.

He can still write a decent tune admittedly, but I haven't bought anything since that experience.

So I offer up a bunch of aussies who definitely get the joke :D

[blinder999]

That's funny - the exact opposite of my experience! I thought he was good, but a bit too po-faced, until I went to see him at ULU a couple of years ago. That night he had a great sense of humour about his miserabilist songs.

[mockney piers]

I'm glad he can, but just goes to show how important it is to keep up your sense of humour ;)

I have to say I've never seen the Flaming Lips do anything but be absolutely 100 percent up for a gig; if they can do it....

They should be an inspiration to every band who's ever dared to charge more than 20 quid per person to come and see them play live.

On which note...

Ah, very good, excellent electro-pop. I'm a big fan.

And dear G*d, lead me not into the bangin' hard house, for I shall not be responsible for my actions ;-)

Louisiana

Bjork's new album cover?

Or April Fool joke?

Can't decide.

Louisiana

[mockney piers]

Ha ha ha, that HAS to be an April Fool surely.

Mind you, she is barking, howl at the moon, mad.

[mockney piers]

Yep barking

[mockney piers]

To reflect that I'm not enjoying my stint in the office I offer up this rather strange but weirdly compelling send up of the Hilton/Hervey type leeches of this world

The Pierces - Boring

[shambles]

Just for you then Shambles, a bunnyesque theme, believe me the links get more tenuous

And by way of an apology for the Chas 'n Dave, or the Eldorado theme (I loved eldorado!!)

I give you this thing of beauty

Devics - a secret message to you

And because his house burned down yesterday (bad luck Barry Gibb)

Johnny cash - Hurt

[mockney piers]

I absolutely love this song, and the girl does sound a leeetle like our dear departed Kirsty McColl

Stars - Your Ex-Lover is Dead

Good choice Bagpuss. A friend of mine's quite pally with lindy layton, i had quite a crush on her in my youth. Haven't managed to get an invite to a bbq when she's there too yet though :(

She's a right stunner too these days!

[mockney piers]

Well if we're doing ladies of my youth....

[bagpuss78]

Beat me to it that was my next!

I've got a really nice acoustic version of this song, i'll try and find it

[Keef]

Is it "China in your hands"? (can't get to the link from here).

I LOVE THAT SONG!!!! And Carol Decker obviously ;-)

[CrystalClear]

It is indeed Keef - though Belinda Carlisle and Circle In The Sand, what a great song :)

[Keef]

I always preferred "Little black book" myself :))

[mockney piers]

A combination of Bagpuss' and Sean's posts (on other thread) led me here.
