Sadly I have to disagree with the esteemed My Foyle - ECs 'Edith and the Kingpen' is truly awful - right up there, or should I say down there, with his mangling of 'God Only Knows'. The great thing about the original is the pace, but Elvis has slowed it down to a tortuous crawl, and has given it a t...

Yep, you sure do. Well done!

PM me your address BA and I will send 'em on out.

Due to some strange circumstances I have ended up with two copies of the recent remasters/plus bonus tracks of two 70's Split Enz classics "Dizrythmia" and "Frenzy". These are the first two Enz albums featuring Neil Finn and both are stone cold pop classics IMHO. So...if you want...

That Jason and the Scorchers version of Absolutely Sweet Marie is one of the best covers Ive ever heard - absolutely scorching!


apologies to IceNine for the delays in getting his CD to him - will be there soon promise!

Its a great song, and one of EC's most under rated. EC remains the one performer to make me cry during a concert and that was "Almost Blue", on the '82 Imperial Bedroom tour. This was before the record was released, so it was my first time ever hearing this song, and right from the beginni...

http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/B0000087R2.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg DIZRYTHMIA ..before Crowded House, and before Neil took over Split Enz, when the band still belonged to Tim and Phil Judd (though he had just left the band his ghostly presence is all over this record), in fact Neils first a...

Well, Im a big fan of the early stuff, I would class "Selling England By the Pound" as essential, and would be the next one to get. The others I would recommend would be - Foxtrot - (has the epic 20 minute "Suppers Ready") Trick of the Tail - (first record after Gabriel left, com...

Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

Had you heard it before Ice? One of my favourite alltime albums and always a real trip to listen to all the way through.

Yeah baby! Finally .... First part of the U.S. tour 13 March 2007 The dates for the first part of Morrissey's U.S. tour are as follows: april Fri 27 STOCKTON, CA : Bob Hope Theater [1,896 cap] Sat 28 SPARKS, NV : John Ascuaga's Celebrity Showroom [700 cap] Sun 29 SPARKS, NV : John Ascuaga's Celebrit...

oh yeah mama, that preview of the first vol of archives looks way tasty!
Im drooling too.

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B0001XAPL0.01._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg All the way from my home town in Devonport New Zealand, resident in London England, son of XTC's Barry Andrews, Finn Andrews and his band produce an album of amazing songs. Passionate, literate, melodic ,intense, moving, bri...

Fanfuckingtastic - my new favourite band

sign me up.

My theory proved yet again (for the 100th time*). His recent stuff is cool and we all buy it, but he hasn't made a real classic for years. Look at the favourite albums here. All oldies and all fucking fantastic records (although the prevalence of MLAR surprises me). River in Reverse is great and I ...

.... and of course even the album cover is hard to beat.

Interesting article in the latest Mojo magazine about the making and circumstances of the Beatles Sgt Pepper album. Often cited as the masterpiece or all masterpieces, album of forever etc etc, top of the NME greatest 100 albums of all time in 1974 completely absent from the same publications list 2...

Very jealous Otis, they are well known as being a fantastic live band, and have a load of great songs to choose from, so the set list should be fanstastic. "This is the Sea" is one of my favourite songs, a true epic. If they play anything like on this http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/...

... and looking foward to "Sky Blue Sky" or whatever the new one is called.

Everything Guns and Roses do and play is like a bad second hand cartoon version of Led Zeppelin or the Stones etc. What I dislike most about them is the way they take all the worst rock n roll cliche's and string them together to make something truly horrible. And Axl's voice is like a cat being slo...

Released in Belgium only.

Please the press in Belgium.

What is this mysterious link between classic Manchester based pop combos and Belgium??

"Night Ride Home" is a great album - but the version of "Slouching Towards Bethlehem" I had in mind is from the wonderful "Travelogue" record.
