Welsh Rich

Who you starting with? I want to hear that Big Country sound... (ahhh.... remembers growing up with those records)

Gifted footballer who never quite made it... though his rather large wages paid during his stint at Real Madrid will help the retirement - don't think the Kop ever forgave him for that.

As no-one else is interested! But it was good, recommended a band called the Foxymorons who were great... unfortunately, not being a US resident, I can't register on continue streaming...

So... Pandora... Started with Wilco "Blue Eyed Soul" and it's subsequently given me: Cake "Walk On By" Superchunk "1,000 pounds" (really liked this!) Foxymorons - who were so good, I've just ordered the album!

Don't know if anyone else has read this: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/features/wee...ourselves.shtml but it makes quite interesting reading... Basically it's about companies/websites that are mining our music tastes to suggest new bands. I've just logged onto Pandora and put Wilco in and I'm going to see what it suggests... Well worth a read over a cuppa as it's quite long.

I'll be curious to know what you think about Walcott - he's supposed to be very quick and skillful. It's an interesting team they've put together for that Belarus game, some guys who, if impress, could make a difference in the World Cup should they be selected. Wales v Finland was the first Wales football international I went to at the Millennium stadium... you beat us 2-1

I'm really unsure as to who could win it this time around - England would certainly be in with a shout if there weren't so many "IF's", especially with major players returning from injury - Rooney, Owen, Cole - at the moment you have only one recognised striker in Crouch who's actually scored in the Premiership! Walcott is a nice gamble and one I hope will pay off. As per usual, with Wales not having made it (again!!!) I'm kinda of unsure who to root for. Normally I pick a team other than England, but I don't mind them doing well. This time around Tinidad & Tobago are getting my vote I

You should start one! And Eddie in a dress does look surprisingly like a woman... an ugly woman, but a woman nevertheless

Indeed, welcome back Rosie....... Just post Eddie in your RSBF's thread Let's get this back on track.... after seeing the Fiery Furnaces again over the weekend, Eleanor is a rather good looking young lady

Andrew!

This is going to be my first review for a new magazine in Cambridge, so any comments would be gratefully received!

I'm about 50 pages in and it's superb so far...

She looks like one of those blow up dolls. So I'm told

I watched a ton of stuff over the weekend... Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Sideways The Killers (60's version) American Beauty Van Helsing ( ) Alien v Predator ( )

I am the reviewer hence the emphasising! I didn't want to use the dreaded alt-country thing, but live they sounded different to their records to me, there was a traditional element to their music whether they wanted it or not. I used alt-country as perhaps it should be used "alternative country"; it wasn't proper country and it wasn't just alternative, it was a meeting of the two different styles...

Went to see Tilly & The Wall last night and was a little bit disappointed - though they sounded more country / folk that I was expecting. Was more impressed with the support act Emmy The Great who was very good - kooky folk with polka dot skirt and a cardigan. Full review and some snazzy pictures of the lovely Tilly girls http://www.cdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=2795

Amanda Protheroe-Thomas And I missed the que for Cheryl, so here she is:

Yeah - I should have thought of that - but I wasn't planning on queuing until I found out I couldn't get through on the phone. Your mix is next in line on my listening pile, so it'll get a spin tonight before I go out!

Well there's a stunning mix with just those!! Speedway is one of my favourite Morrissey songs...

She kept those under wraps last week that's for sure!

So I queued round the block to get my ticket today! 1.5 hours... don't think I've queued that long for any ticket! Sorted though - let me know if you have any luck with yours Andrew.

Yup - I try to do that... if it doesn't work, let me know!

Yeah - that was a good song - like some weird gospel type thing full of organ and slide guitar... great stuff. And Jonathan Rice dedicated a song to the "special" Watson Twin.... he didn't name her, so perhaps not Jenny then...
