Think you would have enjoyed the Jackie Mittoo compilation I was listening to this morning softie ;)
One of the best things in cars now is having a USB port. I've had mine about a year, & I've got a 32GB memory stick loaded with music & I just let it roll on random. Loads of reggae, 80s indie stuff and all sorts of other things. About 10% I don't even recognise, even though it's all stuff ripped from my own music collection. Pulled into work this morning to "2 pints of lager & a packet of crisps" at high volume. No shame, me.Quote:

Quality. That's what it's all about. Though I notice that on mine, it always seems to be that the closer I get to a cosmopolitan area, where I might be feeling a bit more self-conscious, with music blaring out of the open windows, that's when something 'cool' will segue into Wayne Newton, or Doris Day, Sheena Easton, or some other guilty pleasure.Quote:

Now I've said that out loud, I'm going to get the Chipmunks doing Alvin's Harmonica tonight aren't I?Quote:

listening to the most excellent "L.Wells" by Franz Ferdinand. They sadly went off the boil after an amazing debut record but this little gem which appeared between albums 2 and 3 is as good as the debut record......superb.
oh, and 1979 & tonight tonight by the pumpkins......spectacular sounding years on
Beautiful tunes.:)Quote:

I'm not ashamed to say I've seen them live. Only 3 of them left but, not surprisingly, they haven't changed their name to 'Three Star'Quote:

Never heard it before...What a tune!!!!!!!!
Seems to have gone down well. Nice one. :D
Never seen The Strap. Would've loved to have been there.
Just seen on GMTV that 'SuBo' (:rolleyes:) will be singing a version of the Rolling Stones' Wild Horses on American TV.
Before this ruinous event occurs, can I post the definitive version of this song?
