What a load of roobish.

Reunion. Maybe.

I'm disappointed that they're still ending gigs with Mehshaped. Yes it's lovely and pretty and rousing and warm and fluffy, but MOVE ON.

You do realise that the former lead singer is now pursuing a solo career and that she released an album very recently?

How old are you?

Thanks Ian. I'm actually writing about music and marketing at the moment for some coursework so this will be helpful.

Why are there X, Y and friends off topic threads? Can't we just stick to the random thread instead of having threads in honour of little cliques of people.

Thanks for organising this Nina :)

I disagree but heigh ho. No idea. Does it offend you that I did use stars? SHIT SHIT SHIT!

They didn't HAVE to make that particular sketch though, but they did. Casual racists. I agree that it is a s**t show though.

But it's perfectly acceptable for the BBC to broadcast racism in the name of comedy? I'm more offended by the BBC's decision to show an old lady throwing up when she realises a cookie she has just eaten was baked by an Asian girl (Little Britain), than someone telling an old man that his colleague had sexual intercourse with his satanic slut of a grand-daughter. What a FUCKING joke.

I have broken the law.

I'm 20. I had an interview with a careers adviser at uni today. I'm now rather depressed and a bit meh about being 20. I'm 21 in February.

Ha really? What did they say? The girl in question is a burlesque dancer who calls herself a satanic slut FFS. The crime here is that RB actually slept with her.

If McCain got in you'd still 'belong' to the government.

Maybe Atheism should be taught in school.

Judging by the reivews it seems that the whole Bond thing is just riding on the crest of a wave following the huge success of Casino Royale. They should have left it a while before releasing another one, or actually bothered to make this one decent.

929 Have sex with it.

That had the makings of a great song. I wish they'd recorded it.

Yeah I'm Chris :) Glad you like that Unkle track. I might be able to upload a few albums for you...

That was mine crazyduckette. 1 Release The Stars - Rufus Wainwright I love him. 2 Me Plus One - Annie I love the squidgy synth bass and the keyboards and synths in this, and I think it's rather catchy. 3 Crimson Dawn - Seth Lakeman I just think this is beautiful. 4 The Magic Position - Patrick Wolf I love him too. 5 I Don't Care What You Call Me - David Ford I thought this was mega dull the first time I heard it, but after a couple more listens I was hooked. Gorgeous voice, heartbreaking, beautiful lyrics. 6 Maybe Tonight - Nicole Atkins Very retro vibe which I love. 7 Mathematics - Cherry Ghost Love his voice, love his lyrics, this band make me think of North England, love and romance. 8 Whatever Makes You Happy - Sugababes I love this for some reason. 9 Indian Sunset - Elton John Part of this features in Tupac's Ghetto Gospel. I think this is one of his best songs. So many layers, sections, melodies. Great imagery. Makes me think of deserts and the sun. Not 'typical' Elton. 10 I Get High On You - Sly and the Family Stone Funky, soulful, sexy bass, I love them. 11 Unkle (Main Title Theme) - Unkle This kicks ass doesn't it. Great beat, great riffing. 12 Grounds For Divorce - Elbow Listen to Elbow! They're fooking fantastic and this song is mega amazing. 13 Pull Me Out Alive - Kaki King I probably should have put one of her instrumental tracks on, but I didn't wanna put too many on. She is a super talented guitar player, incredibly fast finger picking style - check her out on YouTube. 14 Beat Control - Tilly and the Wall I like this, rather cute. 15 Looking For Answers - Hope and Social Imagine this performed in a church in Yorkshire, with the congregation singing the oohs and ahhs. Beautiful. There's a video on YouTube. 16 Back In Your Head - Tegan and Sara Swoons and sighs heavily. Me love. 17 Cerulean - Jon Hopkins (the same guy associated with Coldplay) This is a gorgeous instrumental. 18 The Escapist - The Streets Mike Skinner is great, this is stunning - the lyrics, the music, the choir, all beautiful. 19 Whatever It Takes - Embrace This is the band I had most trouble deciding over. This is, above all, the band I want to get people listening to and to give a try. A lot of people, for whatever reason, don't 'get' them. If you get to know their story, the ups and downs they've had, personal problems certain members of the band have had, their history, everything, then maybe songs like this will really resonate with you. I care about this band more than any other band in the world (yes, more than Coldplay!) I love this song. The haunting, sad melody, the roll on the floor tom that comes like a speeding train before the 2nd verse, the bass, the melody, Danny's voice, the lyrics, the melancholic vibe that builds and builds to a joyous crescendo of sound, life and love. No band does soulful, gospel rock like Embrace.

Was my mixtape any good?
