First dance wedding song 10635 41
Started by PeterQuaife
Hello folks
I am getting wed shortly, and was wondering if any of you have any suggestions for a first wedding dance tune I know it should be special to me and the future wife etc...but i have spent an age trying to pick...Joe Arthur, Ron Sexsmith, Tom McRae and the like, all close to the wife's heart, but the lyrics are a bit on the sadder side of life.
thanks
PQ

Jonny Greenwood's 'Blood' score ineligible for Oscar nomination 1776 2
Started by starbelgrade
Jonny Greenwood's original score for 'There Will Be Blood' has been ruled ineligible by the music branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The news comes on the heels of last week's Best Foreign Language Film controversy, which left the two most critically acclaimed efforts of the year in that category out of contention (Romania's '4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days' and France's 'Persepolis').

I just watched the video for it on YouTube, had never heard the song before. I do think that Glen can write good tunes from time to time but that's really s**te.

Empire Music Hall, Belfast 2399 9

I'm thinking of heading up to Belfast for the Okkervil River gig in a couple of weeks. I've never been to a gig up there (actually it's been years since I've been to Belfast full stop) and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the venue, location, if there's safe parking around etc.

Has anyone here seen this It seemed to just come and go in cinemas in Ireland unnoticed. John Carney is an immensely talented writer/director (Bachelors Walk is the best Irish-made TV series I've yet seen) but the thought of listening to the ol' Ginger Messiah himself Glen for and hour and half, let alone watching his dubious acting skills, was too much to contemplate....but the Brits are loving this film, he and Marketa were on the Culture Show last week plus a full page in last Sunday's Obser...

Choice Music Awards eligibilty rules 1840 6
Started by starbelgrade
The rules for this award are fairly straightforward & fair, but rule no.5 is just silly;
(5) For the purposes of the Choice Music Prize, an album must contain six or more tracks and/or be over 33 1/3 minutes in length (33 mins, 20 seconds).
Imagine for a moment that Ramones were Irish, and released their self titled debut last year.. to me, it's one of the greatest albums ever made, but it wouldn't be eligible as, despite having 14 tracks, the runnin...

It's been a good few years now since they last released anything other than compilations. I'm curious to know what the Cluas verdict on them is now that a good few years have passed by since they were selling out the SFX for three nights in a row. For my sins, I was a huge fan of their...
