Mr Marwood, without doubt i find your suggestions on 'listenable' music questionable in fact i shall go further and state that it is only suitable for the certifiably suicidal, why oh why would any sane person with all their faculties present wish to volountarily subject themselves to such utter utter dross? Get with it sir, life ain't so bad.....

Good stuff - didn't realise they had a new album. Wish I was going to Green Man Festival.

Contribute man, don't just troll. Perhaps you can recommend us a good Long Player of Glen Miller's latest hits?

 

[Monquey]

I feel I should also take the opportunity to recommend the god-like genius that is Colin Meloy, one of the best, most original singer/songwriters with a slight speech impediment out there, and his band The Decemberists.

Last friday we went to Buxton to see 'The Beat' fun fun fun not a hint of maudlin....

 

[Gramaisc]

This isn't new ( 1961 ) or indie ( it was on Philips ) but it's a belter - let's see Will Young cover it...

'Give me the moonlight, Give me the girl' now that's what i call raunchy......

Wasn't 'Mirror in the Bathroom' a song about a spiral into cocaine addiction?

Mirror in the bathroom,
Recompense,
For all my crimes
of self-defence,
Cures you whisper
make no sense,
Drift gently into
mental illness

So, not maudlin?

 

[basil]

Ok maybe a little......

Maudlin in a minor ( miner ? ) key

 

[basil]

I seem to recall Reginald Maudling wouldn't stand down, i think the 'pop' did for him in the end.......

 

[Gramaisc]

Are you aware of the Reginald Maudling Appreciation Society?

 

[basil]

Seems his son may have listened to 'the beat'.........

 

[Kingy]

Thankyou maudlin one's and all. Has anybody seen any decent local bands recently?

No no no no Mr Marwood this morose music is just what i don't need, i am not about to embark on some transcendental trip to "find myself" however if you are then i suggest you take care......

Doddy, for my money he surely is the 'king of pop'.....
