Black Rose Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Track Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 ^I have no love for Apple. The only reason I would have paid is cause it's Elbow :awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Final Track Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squareonefivesix Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Track Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 :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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
