Being Ripped Off 1325 15
Started by Gar
NOt too sure if many or anyone will agree with this bust just throwing it out there. Noel Gallagher was interviewed after Glastonbury by Joe Whiley. He said that Oasis are trying to sort through about 50 songs they recently recorded and pick the best 10 for a new album. With Oasis gone for a good while, do they not owe their fans more than just ten songs
When Tom Waits hadn't recorded in a few years he came back with two brand new albums, 'Alice' and 'Blood Money', released on the same day. ...

Rocking blues 1316 6
Started by Archie
Ok, how about this one:
Is it possible to like rock music without liking or at least in some form identifying with blues music, as the former was pretty much based on the latter
Hopefully this will become interesting...

Rock Stars in videogames 1578 7
Started by Binokular
Figured we hadn't had light hearted thread on the forum in a while, so I thought I'd start one, it being a friday and all.
Video may have killed the radio star, but it seems the video game and the rock star were made for each other. If ever there was a format for flashy, characters this is it and it seems rock (and hip hop) stars are popping up in video games all the time, the most recent being Iggy Pop playing a carjacking criminal in the new GTA style, driving/shooting game, Driv3r.

Bud Rising vs Oxegen 4527 22
Started by Karlito
Well Folks,
I have just been on the Bud Rising site looking at the line up. Even thought there are less bands than say Oxegen it looks like a pretty damn fine event.
What think you all of this compared to Oxegen. I think I'll be heading to some of the gigs at Rising - Primal Scream in the Red Box - Charlatans in Whelans - it's good to see these bands in such small venues.
What yis think

Demise of Another Irish Band 1517 7
Started by klootfan
Looks like TenSpeedRacer have called it a day.
An offical looking post on their messageboard says that its all over and that their last gig will be the TBMC gig on July 3rd.
What a pity. Great band. Some great tunes.

Sound in the Village 1502 4
Started by klootfan
Been meaning to mention this for a while. But has anyone been to a gig in the village in the last couple of months or so.
Ive seen the Future Kings of Spain, I Am Kloot and Jesse Malin there lately and the sound was pure quality every time. It really has improved. Can this be because of the sound desk move
What do you reckon

Is the CD single dead? 5033 23
Started by Binokular
The CD single is dead, well at least looking really unhealthy. Universal plan to ressurect the CD single using the 8mm format (those tiny CDs, that you come across occasionally)
If these CD Singles were sensibly priced, no more than say, about 3 Euro (or less ideally), would you buy CD singles again Can the CD single ever be resurrected even in the sort term or will the future for singles just be downloads.
Its easy to say downloads are the future, but there has always been someth...

Dave Couse 1380 0
Started by eoghan
Excuse me as I quite deliberately break one of the Discussion Board rules I usually insist upon - that is the publishing a gig announcement on the 'Soap Box' board and not on the 'Gig announcements' board. I fully expect (nay, insist!) that one of my other fellow moderators moves this message eventually to the Gigs board in due course. After a few people have viewed it, bien sur.
The gig announcement follows:

Vote NO 1998 17
Started by Duff_man
I got into work this morning and found out that The Urges are playing Oxegen.....
Now they're a good band but I don't think that they deserve a gig like that in any way.
Let me know if you think the same way or you think that they've worked hard enough for it.

The worst U2 songs in the world. Ever. 8312 30
Started by eoghan
I'm kicking this off as a counter-tonic to the 'best U2 songs' thread. Because – let’s not forget - the lads have released some corkers over the years. Here's a few to kick it off:
“The Refugee” from 1983’s War. I always completely hated this track. Sonically obnoxious. And the fact that it is the only song by U2 ever produced by Bill “Riverdance” Whelan is probably not a coincidence.
“Ocean” on their debut Boy. Sits ajar on their splintering debut. Which is quite likely the reason they pu...

Favourite Cover Artists (the other kind) 4105 11
Started by Binokular
Not to be confused with the other 'covers' thread running on the boards, this one is about actual physical record covers that keep your CDs/Vinyl safe and probably influenced your decision to buy the record in the first place.
So when comes to album covers who is your favourite artist/designer/photographer
Obviously for me being a New Order fan, Peter Saville springs to mind, but I've become quite a fan of Julian Opie having just discovered his website (http://www.julianopie.com/). He de...

Best Cover Songs 10730 22
Started by Gar
Just wondering what people on this board regard as the best cover songs out there. I think that Johnny Cash is the main man for the amount of covers he did so well, with Loudon Wainwright III 'The Man Who Couldn't Cry' and Nick Cave's 'Mercy Seat' standing out.
Other great cover tunes are 'The Man Who Sold The World' by Nirvana, 'Breathe' by Roesy, 'Stand By Me' by John Lennon, 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry' by Ryan Adams and 'Let's Get It On' by Jack Black.
