polica - dark star heard this song today on my local radio station (the second time within a few days). I felt in love with the song and the 'autotuned' voice. | ||

I can hear that Stuart. Though I like it better than I ever liked any of the Rod Stewart Faces material. The iPod's shuffle is what revealed "Moo, You Bloody Choir"'s charms to me, as it always seemed a bit of a battering ram of songs when played all at one time. Unlike the first two Augie March records which make wonderful albums to play as such. | ||

That's the beauty of the shuffle mechanism, isolating songs from their old context to let their individual beauty shine...so a barely noticed track like Baron suddenly leaps out at you. Lots of good stuff on the first Faces and Rod albums, though! | ||

Travelling Wilburys - Handle with care Ok, after two albums of Sun Kil Moon, I just had to put this on. Mark K's voice has developed, though - no longer a mere toneless drone, he has worked up a massive range of at least three notes. Yet still strangely addictive. | ||

Love that Waterboys song, Randy. My band used to cover it. | ||
| Andrew Kerr Member Username: Andrew_k Post Number: 776 Registered: 04-2005 |
the apartments - knowing you were loved (from "fęte foraine") + add me to the admirers of "And A Bang On the Ear". I remember the lead singer of Edinburgh's wonderful and underrated We Free Kings dancing to that tune with his beautiful girlfriend. It was the last song played before the band that I was in hit the stage one night. Strange how certain moments rest in your head ! | ||

Randy, I'm going to see The Waterboys tomorrow night for the first time since a terrible show they played in August 1990. Did you see them at the Wiltern in November 1989? I was there with my mother's cousin, who is a priest in LA. | ||

I knew nothing of the Waterboys back then Padraig. The Wiltern is where I saw the Cocteau Twins and was so disappointed because of the absence of a drummer. I was hoping they would NOT try to emulate their records and would instead offer a stripped down sound to support Liz Fraser. I think that was in early 1987. If I remember correctly, I also saw Nick Cave there on the very same night and was annoyed by what I perceived to be excessive "schtick" to his performance. I also saw lesser people at the Wiltern: the Eurythmics and Travis. Yes, I saw Travis in concert. (ducks) | ||

George Harrison - I live for you Gorgeous Dylanesque ballad drenched in radiant Pete Drake pedal steel, amazingly left off the original ATMP. Good one to dedicate to the wife on her birthday, though I suspect George was addressing a Higher Power. A Higher Power than the the wife, though...? | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 5271 Registered: 05-2005 |
Oh Randy. I just know what to say, except that I think you are very brave. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to curing that problem. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 5272 Registered: 05-2005 |
Hmmm, that comment would have worked better if my jetlagged mind had managed to include the word don't between just and know. Oh well. | ||
| Stuart Wilson Member Username: Stuart Post Number: 746 Registered: 10-2006 |
I dunno, sometimes Travis pop up on the wife's Ipod and have me dancing along quite the thing... they do have a couple of good old songs in their kitbag... | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 3126 Registered: 03-2005 |
I actually remember them closing the show with "I'm So Happy That You're So Happy" which is good bubblegum. But then there's that atrocious "hit" of theirs that was overplayed in LA for a while. I don't remember to name of it right now. That's ok, don't remind me. | ||

Bob Dylan - Spanish Is The Loving Tongue. A brilliant, lost b-side. Mike Scott must have heard this way back. It sounds so like early Waterboys. | ||
| cosmo vitelli Member Username: Cosmo Post Number: 674 Registered: 05-2005 |
isnt it on 'Dylan' Padraig? bang on(the ear) though about this sounding like Waterboys | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 5303 Registered: 05-2005 |
A quick google proves that to be true! It's a different version to the one I have though. The b-side version is shorter and comes from the Watching The River Flow single. | ||
