May 29, 201016 yr Well, nobody's perfect :rolleyes: I was only saying it was a good plan to avoid paying apple money, ever since they have got in that new variable pricing a lot more songs are for sale for 99p, even when 7digital and others are selling them for 49p. Makes you wonder how much profit apple must be raking in from sales
May 29, 201016 yr ^I have no love for Apple. The only reason I would have paid is cause it's Elbow :awesome:

June 26, 201015 yr Guy Garvey on his favourite things The Elbow frontman on Mad Men, Peter Gabriel and how W.B Yates and Robert Frost inspire him to write lyrics “Amiable” and “ursine” are the epithets that crop up most often after encounters with Guy Garvey. It’s hard to verify the latter quality on the phone, but the former is evident in spades. This emotionally fluent indie songwriter has plenty of reasons to be sunny, having walked a delicious line between critical acclaim and commercial success with his band Elbow’s rapturous, Mercury prize-winning album, The Seldom Seen Kid (2008). The Mancunians’ follow-up is due next year, but in the meantime there is a new double single: Elbow’s witching-hour cover of Mercy Street by Garvey’s childhood hero Peter Gabriel, plus Gabriel’s cover of Elbow’s Mirrorball, recorded for his Scratch My Back project. Garvey’s voice has often been compared to Gabriel’s — when he did the cover “it was impossible not to sound like Peter, so I didn’t try”. So what does Gabriel think? “Ten out of ten, from one of my heroes!” Garvey also has his beloved radio show on 6 Music, which exposes him to new music that “changes what Elbow write, ultimately”. He would be “absolutely devastated” if 6 Music closed. “When no one else was playing Elbow’s music, it kept us alive.” Mercy Street/Mirroball is out now http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article7146103.ece
June 28, 201015 yr Album looks set to drop at the end of the year or something down that aisle :thumbsup:

June 30, 201015 yr I think there was one listed briefly, but not anymore. Maybe I was dreaming :shrug: I'd rather have them release the album first, then tour.
July 1, 201015 yr Ah right. I'll bet they played nothing but Seldom Seen Kid stuff ;) Guy's so funny on stage, so charismatic & chatty. When I saw them early last year, he had us all singing Happy Brithday to Pete, even tho it wasn't even his birthday :lol:
July 1, 201015 yr :lol: Yeah, they played Starlings, The Bones Of You, Grounds for Divorce, Mirrorball, The Loneliness Of A Tower Crane Driver, One Day Like This and Station Approach (as soul non TSSK) :awesome: but not in that order. They were great, and Guy pulled a good joke while Mark was fixing his guitar :lol:
