January 31, 200917 yr Does anybody know what single George Lassoes The Moon was the b-side for? Edited: It was on the Noisebox EP and Any Day Now EP.
January 31, 200917 yr Does anybody know what single George Lassoes The Moon was the b-side for? Edited: It was on the Noisebox EP and Any Day Now EP. Just suck on your plastic spoon ;) I'm still on the lookout for the early EPs if anybody has any links to them (I have Noisebox)

February 3, 200917 yr Its good. Thats one of my favourite U2 songs, and that was a pretty good cover.

February 13, 200917 yr I always think of Elbow as a more mature Coldplay for some reason. Even though both bands released album 4 last year, Elbow has been going around for a good 8 or so years longer than Starfish/Coldplay ;)
February 18, 200917 yr Trinty Street have gone under, so whatever will Elbow do with the orders for the live album
February 18, 200917 yr Have you seen this video? It's like the most amazing thing I've ever seen ;) Especially the end part. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX0B9ZpdZEA]YouTube - Elbow - The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver[/ame]
February 18, 200917 yr Trinty Street have gone under, so whatever will Elbow do with the orders for the live album The Abbey Road DVD? Yeah, might be a good idea to email them and check. I'm sure they'll still send it out when it's released. They better had anyway, I pre-ordered it last week lol.
February 18, 200917 yr Elbow is what Coldplay would have been if they had not sold out. I agree with you on that one. :glasses2:
February 19, 200917 yr I'm glad they got Brit Award, not that they needed it when it comes to their value as artists, but... I'm glad.
February 20, 200917 yr Has anyone here pre-ordered the Live At Abbey Road CD/DVD? Trinity Street ran Elbow's webstore, and, lucky me, the day after I pre-ordered it, they went into administration. They still managed to take my money though, fuckers. Elbow's news page insists all orders will be honoured, but the boxset is now being sold through HMV.com. Will I be getting the album from HMV, then? I'm starting to get a bit worried. I mean, £20 is a hell of a lot to spend on an album, and I'd like to be sure I'm going to get it for the price... Is anyone else in the same boat as I am?
