In The Air is certainly an album I'd recommend people to hear if they want to hear more of The Handsome Family, and, believe it or not, So Much Wine isn't the best song (well not for me anyway), that accolade goes to The Sad Milkman. Also, Twilight is another great album of theirs - a lot sparser in sound, but the songs are equally good. I haven't heard their latest one - Last Days of Wonder - but no doubt it's of comparable form.

That's totally fine. I just wasn't too sure if people were actually already sending their songs in yet or not.

I've always wanted to see that whole clip after I saw them use a bit of it for the film Amelie. I love the fact she's got a choir of clappers. Rosetta plays heavier guitar than most men do - I can't think of another woman that plays electric guitar like that. Thanks for the link.

I might have used the word Twot instead. It has an English toffee-nose ring to it, and positively reeks of contempt.

How is someone pointing out that something you said is factually incorrect a bad thing? You shouldn't look at it as people wanting to look smarter than you, rather that people are trying to help you smarten up - if you remember that in life, you'll go a long way.

Is this actually happening? Or rather, is there a deadline yet?

1. Ok. So if you're saying that Rock Music is 'Democratic' and your reason for this is that the musicians make and perform what the audience wants, how exactly is it the only musical genre that is continually looking forward (in your eyes)? How on earth can you be creative when it is your audience that dictates your next move? And as for 1980's Bob Dylan - as some sort of means to disprove anything else he's done - by the 1980's what musical principals was he ever supposed to have had? The ones placed on him by his audience only, surely. By the 1980's, when he'd stopped being too interested in

1. I thought that the birth of Rock music instead of say, Rock N' Roll was said to be the point where Dylan was shouted at as a Judas and his reply was to play fucking loud. So from it's very birth your statement proves false. I would actually define Rock music as being very confrontational with its audience instead of bowing down to what the masses want to hear. Its the difference between proper Rock music and a bunch of people just playing very loud. 2. The people that 'stole' it from the black people were far from working class, certainly many were, but just as many were not - certainly the

1. Democratic? Please explain what you mean. 2. Blue-collar? (well maybe that's true in America, but although the famous English Rock acts of the past might have acted like they were working class, they were pretty much all a middle class bunch) 3. What exactly is your point?

Is this a pre-op flashback or what exactly?

I had to do this on windows media player instead, because I am too much of a pikey to pay for an ipod. Opening Credits: Led Zeppelin - Ramble On Waking Up: Peter, Bjorn & John - Roll The Credits (idiots came in one track too late) Monday: Os Mutantes - Nao Va Se Perder Por Ai Fight Song: Fotheringay - The Pond And The Stream (No wonder I don't get into fist fights, I'd get my arse kicked with Fotheringay as my fight tune) Breaking up: Incredible String Band - The Tree Prom: Os Mutantes - Nao Va Se Perder Por Ai (again!) Life: M Ward - To Go Home Mental Breakdown: Grandaddy

Gloomy Sunday by Rezso Seress and Laszlo Javor is the saddest song ever written. The BBC, for example, banned it for many many years for fear of its power (apparently). It is dubbed the suicide song. Apparently (again, whether this is true or not I don't know) more people committed suicide after listening to this song than any other. Javor's girlfriend apparently committed suicide, leaving a note which simply read - "Gloomy Sunday", and Seress himself jumped from his apartment to his death some time later. Loads of people have covered it, Billie Holiday's version being the most famous. The

I did a couple of times, then it worked. It seems to be working now.

to me it looked like Jeff saw him all the way, but then it also looked to me like he didn't punch him but rather pushed him away by the head, and pitchfork seem to still be saying he punched the guy, so I don't know. it kind of affirms to me what i thought happened anyway - that the guy got up and acted a dick and Jeff got pissed off with him for both being disrespectful and putting him and the band off what they were there to do. you can tell he looks pissed that the guys up on stage, and when he touched him and went in for the kiss he went far enough for Jeff to do something about it. also,

When I read that title I really hoped it was a cover of the Rolf Harris song you were talking about. Sadly it wasn't. Two little boys had two little toys Each had a wooden horse Gaily they played each summer's day Warriors both of course One little chap then had a mishap Broke off his horse's head Wept for his toy then cried with joy As his young playmate said Did you think I would leave you crying When there's room on my horse for two Climb up here Jack and don't be crying I can go just as fast with two When we grow up we'll both be soldiers And our horses will not be toys

Happy Birthday

I'm now just waiting for The Story Of The Drunk Man, As Told Through A Translator before I finally draw a veil over this whole thing.

Look. It's that point you are trying to make there, and no other point that I really am against here. Citing one event and one person who went in there with the intention of killing someone as a reason to fear anyone that gets up on stage, which I find so utterly hard to understand. Are you suggesting that the security at other shows is all that has stopped a rash of gun crimes on musicians in the US? Or what are you trying to say?

We let you win. Just so we could get up on stage when and wherever we wanted to, without having to justify it to you!
