In order to remedy my bad mood yesterday morning, I put on my legendary 80's cd (made by vic, whoever he is).. by the time i was nearing work i was driving down a country lane, feeling a fair bit happier, when, literally as i approached the cusp of a hill, i put my foot on the accelerator and...... "i aaam the one and onlyyyy!!11".... ace. cheered me up no end :)

Chesney Hawks.

Mwahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa.

Right now I find that The Darkness cheer me up whenever I'm in a shitty mood, which is pretty much every day.
Posted by Grim..., 10:14, 14th May 2004:
 
Chesney did a 'gig' at my girlfriends university once. She and her mates all stood at the front shouting "One hit wonder" at him.

In the end he walked off the stage - oddly, his music (and lyrics) kept going.

I really dont like The Darkness, i find the lead singer not only very very ugly, but also extremely annoying.
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 10:18, 14th May 2004:
 
...been listening to a lot of Steppenwolf recently. No idea why.
Posted by WarHead, 10:25, 14th May 2004:
 
Perhaps it's because you were born to be wild.

Me and a mate sang along to Chesney Hawkes in the cinema at the top of our voices when it was playing over the start of Doc Hollywood.

A few people found it amusing. The others were obviously miserable bastards.
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 10:36, 14th May 2004:
 
Obviously.
Posted by su, 10:49, 14th May 2004:
 
i would have thought they'd thank you for improving the film
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 10:53, 14th May 2004:
 
and what makes you think that Brock singing at the top of his voice is a improvement?
Posted by su, 10:55, 14th May 2004:
 
nothing could make that film worse
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 10:57, 14th May 2004:
 
Jim Carey could.
Posted by Brock, 11:37, 14th May 2004:
 
It would have been hard to hate a film from the first 5 minutes though, maybe they were being reticent in showing their approval of my singing, until they'd had time to have formed a reasoned and objective assessement of the film overall?
Posted by Grim..., 12:08, 14th May 2004:
 
Really, really liking Hybrid's 'Wide Angle' at the moment.
Posted by carbonite, 12:21, 14th May 2004:
 
I'd hate any film that has "I am The One and Only" anywhere in it, let alone the first 5 minutes.

Personally I am listening to a lot of Muse and Hoobastank at the moment. Muse's new album, Absolution, is just the best thing I've heard in a long while. Right now I'm listening to Daft Punk's Discovery album.

/me strokes his iRiver IHP-120 HDMP3 Player =D
Posted by Abe Frohman, 12:26, 14th May 2004:
 
Joss Stone at the moment.
Posted by jeff, 12:46, 14th May 2004:
 
i hate her white stripes cover... and you just like her cos she's sooo young...
Posted by Abe Frohman, 12:54, 14th May 2004:
 
If you say so.
Posted by Sul, 12:54, 14th May 2004:
 
That cover has pissed me off enough to hate her fucking guts.
"But she's got a great voice Sul" - Fuck you, I dont care, she's a whore.
Posted by su, 13:42, 14th May 2004:
 
yes she's got a great voice, but it sounds very made-to-order.
Posted by WarHead, 15:35, 14th May 2004:
 
John Martyn - One The Cobbles, is my latest aquisition. Seems quite good; better than his last two efforts anyroadup.
Posted by carbonite, 15:36, 14th May 2004:
 
Her 'best friend' goes to the college that my mum is principal at.

Yeah so like, that's cool right?

no
Posted by WarHead, 15:39, 14th May 2004:
 
A bit tenuous, innit.
Posted by arsepuppy, 15:40, 14th May 2004:
 
This week its been (mainly):

The Replacements
Gang of Four
Prince
Funkadelic
Wire
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 15:41, 14th May 2004:
 
Prince?! Come on AP, surely not.

I fucking hate Prince! - FACT
Posted by Deus Ex Machina, 15:42, 14th May 2004:
 
I never really liked the 80's revival, even when it was the 80's (and I was a sweet young thing of 54) it just wasn't my sort of thing.

I'm very much into Norwiegan Death Metal at the moment though.. there's nothing like a bit of Mayhem or Burzum to get my juices flowing
Posted by WarHead, 15:44, 14th May 2004:
 
Well anyway, John Martyn's had the lower half of one of his legs amputated recently. THAT'S what I call suffering for your art.
Posted by su, 15:45, 14th May 2004:
 
prince is a genius - FACT
Posted by Abe Frohman, 15:46, 14th May 2004:
 
Where's my goddamn banning button. *grumble*
Posted by carbonite, 15:47, 14th May 2004:
 
Prince had a rib removed so he could give himself head!

THAT'S what I call sufferi....no wait
Posted by Brock, 15:47, 14th May 2004:
 
Abe: hehe
Posted by arsepuppy, 15:48, 14th May 2004:
 
Sorry Foggy, big Prince fan, 30-odd albums and counting...
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 15:49, 14th May 2004:
 
you have went down in my estimations now mate...tut tut tut
Posted by Brock, 15:49, 14th May 2004:
 
How was he ever 'up' in your estimations?

("You have went"? What?)
Posted by WarHead, 15:50, 14th May 2004:
 
Like him or not, you have to admit that having lots of crumpet in your band is a great way to get plenty of shags.


Brock: Her didn't want to say, 'you have GONE down...'
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 15:51, 14th May 2004:
 
he likes Ben Harper.
Posted by WarHead, 15:52, 14th May 2004:
 
Welcome to the cruel world.
Posted by arsepuppy, 15:54, 14th May 2004:
 
Although Ben Harper's quality, it's shit that he shares a name with Robert Lindsay's character in 'My Family'.

That programme would be much less shit if he played a grown up Wolfie Smith in it.
Posted by WarHead, 16:06, 14th May 2004:
 
But still shit.
Posted by arsepuppy, 16:07, 14th May 2004:
 
indeed.
Posted by Abe Frohman, 16:08, 14th May 2004:
 
You've gone down in my grammar estimations foggy, 'you have went down' indeed.

(I'm with you on the Prince thing though.)
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 16:09, 14th May 2004:
 
Come on, my grammer has never been good.
Posted by jeff, 16:09, 14th May 2004:
 
bah.. this wasnt supposed to be a 'what i've been listening to' thread.. it was supposed to be a kind of 'soundtrack moments' thread... like when my bloke was being thrown out of waterloo station due to a bomb threat and 'panic' by the smiths was playing on the ipod..
Posted by WarHead, 16:10, 14th May 2004:
 
What are the chances of that happening?
Posted by WarHead, 16:11, 14th May 2004:
 
Bit if we're talking about soundtrack moments, I remember getting carpet burns on my knees to the sound of 'Split' by The Groundhogs, if that's any use to you.
Posted by jeff, 16:12, 14th May 2004:
 
well, if you go into london every day, and in this time of regular station evacuations, *and* you've taken to listening to the shaun of the dead soundtrack on repeat, then there's a reasonable chance...
Posted by arsepuppy, 16:12, 14th May 2004:
 
Yeah, but Jeff, nothing happens to us, so we have to adapt things to suit the fact.
Posted by jeff, 16:13, 14th May 2004:
 
fine, lie then.. ;) - mine was rather tenuous but still..
Posted by Grim..., 16:13, 14th May 2004:
 
Someone's nicked (nearly) my other net nickname!

DAMNIT >: (
Posted by Grim..., 16:13, 14th May 2004:
 
Ooh, and she's very attractive : )

Enjoy using the name, won't you?
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 16:14, 14th May 2004:
 
Its DOC.
Posted by jeff, 16:14, 14th May 2004:
 
that's my exhousemate!!! DR LUCIDDD!!!!!!!!!! (never give that guy any photos)
Posted by arsepuppy, 16:14, 14th May 2004:
 
...and robbed your smileys too (in this thread)
Posted by Abe Frohman, 16:15, 14th May 2004:
 
What are you talking about? Littlejohn hasn't been taken.
Posted by jeff, 16:15, 14th May 2004:
 
her name is louise and she's from luton.
Posted by arsepuppy, 16:15, 14th May 2004:
 
Jeff- Am I smoking crack or is that Louise in that profile pic?
Posted by arsepuppy, 16:16, 14th May 2004:
 
Fucking F5.
Posted by jeff, 16:16, 14th May 2004:
 
but yes dandog, you're also smocking crack, for you are a crack whore.
Posted by Brock, 16:17, 14th May 2004:
 
He's a crack(among other things) whore, surely?
Posted by Grim..., 16:20, 14th May 2004:
 
Luton?

That's just down the road from me.
Posted by Brock, 16:21, 14th May 2004:
 
And me. Does Louise like older, rather charming (but balding) men?
Posted by WarHead, 16:22, 14th May 2004:
 
Is she really very attractive, only she looks like she's got a bit of a wobble-gob to me?


mocmocmoc?
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 16:22, 14th May 2004:
 
with a small....

ah, I said I wouldnt mention that again.
Posted by su, 16:22, 14th May 2004:
 
do you know any Brock?
Posted by WarHead, 16:23, 14th May 2004:
 
Er, jeff, did you give the Doc and OTHER photos (nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more)?
Posted by Deus Ex Machina, 16:25, 14th May 2004:
 
This is Louise, Jeff you fool!

How's it going? I haven't seen you since you were using that 'other' name...
Posted by WarHead, 16:26, 14th May 2004:
 
You mean 'before THE op?'
Posted by Sul, 16:29, 14th May 2004:
 
Running to the station desperate not to miss the train. Lust For Life - Iggy Pop.

I smiled a little that day.
Posted by jeff, 16:31, 14th May 2004:
 
oh sorry louise, must've wiped that bit of my memory where i gave you that photo on your non existent computer. how blonde *is* your hair now?

warhead, we dont talk about my 'op' on here ok. should get cal to put that in the faq
Posted by jeff, 16:31, 14th May 2004:
 
thank you sul
Posted by WarHead, 16:33, 14th May 2004:
 
jeff: Noted.
Posted by Deus Ex Machina, 16:33, 14th May 2004:
 
It's getting blonder every day. I accidentally gave this poor old man cataracts because it got so white. Helps for visiblity when I ride my BMX in the dark, though.
Posted by jeff, 16:46, 14th May 2004:
 
you really did go a little overboard with the highlights at one point didnt you? oh and thanks for not showing up to my 21st birthday party even though you live down the road...

sorry, just airing some issues that still hurt
Posted by Deus Ex Machina, 16:59, 14th May 2004:
 
Yeah, sorry about that, but I heard Bumdog was going to be there and I was still a bit awkward about that April night we spent together under the moonlight. Little Frank is taking his first steps, and he's the spitting image of his father.
Posted by Brock, 17:05, 14th May 2004:
 
poor kid.

:(
Posted by cal, 18:15, 14th May 2004:
 
i love wide angle. fantastic album. do you have wider angle with the live disc too? it's ace
Posted by carbonite, 19:28, 14th May 2004:
 
WATCH OUT FOR TEH EAGLE!£!£!$!!!!"!!
Posted by Grim..., 12:03, 17th May 2004:
 
Yeah, my copy came with the live disc.

I've got Morning Sci-Fi too, and I've just noticed that Remix and Additional Production By has become availible on Amazon, so I've also brought that.

Joy.
Posted by Grim..., 12:26, 17th May 2004:
 
There was a copy of 'I will survive' in Cal's public FTP area, but that seems to have vanished.
Posted by Abe Frohman, 12:32, 17th May 2004:
 
Shame.
Posted by Grim..., 13:06, 17th May 2004:
 
Not the song, I mean the whole public area...
Posted by Sul, 13:24, 17th May 2004:
 
Maybeit was to help get rid of the public lice.
Posted by Abe Frohman, 13:25, 17th May 2004:
 
maybeits because he's a Londoner.
