Jools Holland - Best Performances 6812 44
Started by benni
Inspired by Elmo95's mention of programme - whats peoples favorite all time Jools performances
The one that always stands out in my mind is Airbag by Radiohead circa 1997.... It was just as OK Computer was released and they played a few tunes on the show - with Airbag being the closer for the show.
That was around the time that I was beginning to take music very seriously indeed and I remember actually thinking to myself that my mouth was quite literally hanging open in awe by the end.

Long overdue, but in the last few days I've been getting stuck into the back log of new submissions. New gig and album reviews are up there (including new releases from Cansei De Ser Sexy, Tapes'n Tapes, Peaches and Great White with more to come in the next few days).

Good news for legal downloaders 1276 1
Started by Gar
Looks like itunes are getting some worldwide competition now - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/5328564.stm
I've been using emusic for a couple of months now, just for the odd few things as I still prefer buying cd's, but it's a great service. So I reckon it's good news that they are expanding into Europe and focusing on independent labels.

I keep hearing My Sharona everywhere 1366 1
Started by Binokular
I'm starting to wonder if theres a sort of weird collective conciousness in popular music that causes everyone to 'borrow' from the same same song at the same time. In this case, 'My Sharona' by the Knack.
First off, the Little Chris single 'checkin it out' (which is brilliant, I reckon, sorta like a Feargal Sharkeys hyperactive, slightly mentally challenged nephew with an ASBO), doesn't rip it off wholesale, but theres a cheeky little 'Sharona' riff about third of the way through.
Then t...

This should be exciting but I saw them on BBC 2's Reading coverage and they are truly awful live. Great first album, underwhelming follow-up, poor live act....disappointing.

I have never had any bad feelings towards the Frames, even tho' they helped foist Damien Rice upon us; they haven't been my fav band, i have never seen them live, I don't listen to their records, I never bought their t shirt but I still like them, i think they send out good vibes, i remember being in a funk once on the way to an awful 'charity' function and stopping to listen to glen hansard and another frame busk on grafton street one summer evening and feeling uplifted by it, and continuing on...
