Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, Oasis, N.O which one?

[NickA]

Errr, no, I think you need the xylophone for that.

Where's bkkmadness, it was him who said it in the first place!

[Marmite the Dog]

Errr, no, I think you need the xylophone for that.

I've got a pair of spoons - Will they do?

[danbo]

Marmite's right in that his opinion is his opinion. As long as he doesn't get all uppity and stampy when someone says they don't like one of his all time herons.....Personally I like Jonn Denver, so someone else will have to test the water.

As for the thread - Joy Division were super-special....'I've walked on water run through fire can't seem to feel it any more'.

Radio -- live transmission -- radio
live transmission
Listen to the silence, let it ring on
Eyes dark, relentless, frightened of the sun
We would have a fine time living in the night
Be left a blind destruction,
Waiting for our sight
We would go on as though nothing was
wrong
Hide from these days to remain all alone
Staying in the same place,
just staring at the tide
Touching from a distance, further all the time

[klongmaster]

Personally I like Jonn Denver

yea me too..in private life as well as his music...i was going through the divorce thing - #??- at the same time as him...the judge awarded half of everything to his wife...so he took a chainsaw and cut their bed in half...

always respected him for that act..

hope i don't emulated his untimely demise

[danbo]

^I thought he was still alive....shows what I know.



^^'DANCE DANCE DANCE DANCE TO THE RADIO!!!!!!'

[NickA]

Ah, some of those lyrics will start to make sense now, danbo

Procession moves on, the shouting is over
Praise to the glory of loved ones
now gone
Talking aloud as they sit
round their tables
Scattering flowers washed down by the rain

Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden
Watching them pass like clouds in the sky
Try to cry out in the heat of the moment
Possessed by a fury
that burns from inside

Cry like a child though
these years make me older
With children my time
is so wastefully spent
Burden to keep, though their
inner communion
Accept like a curse
an unlucky deal

Laid by the gate at the foot
of the garden
My view stretches out
from the fence to the wall
No words could explain,
no actions determine
Just watching the trees
and the leaves as they fall

Sounds like not a happy man, although his friends were very suprised when he did himself in.

[Marmite the Dog]

Marmite's right in that his opinion is his opinion. As long as he doesn't get all uppity and stampy when someone says they don't like one of his all time herons.

Damn! If I can't uppity & stampy, what's the point in living?

[NickA]

As long as he doesn't get all uppity and stampy when someone says they don't like one of his all time herons

You getting mixed up with www.sadbirdwatchers.com again, danbo?

I'm an owl man meself, well it gives me an excuse to be out at night with nightvision goggles and some cheese sandwiches.

[cantona]

NickA, Unknown Pleasures or Closer which do you think is the best?

[NickA]

Hmmm, difficult one, I think Unknown Pleasures just about wins for its greater energy, but only just.

Have you seen 24 hour party people?

I downloaded it a couple of months ago, had been waiting to watch it for ages. Kind of dissapointing in my view although it had some good bits.

[cantona]

Yeah, I thought they recreated the Hacienda well - though Steve Coogan as Tony Wilson???

[NickA]

Yep, that was the problem, they concentrated on his character too much, cos he was supposedly the star of the film.

There was at least 2 or 3 films worth of material to be covered so it was too rushed - The Smiths and The Stone Roses weren't even mentioned, or very briefly mentioned - and yet they wasted time on stupid bits from Granada Reports!

[The Gentleman Scamp]

i WANT TO SEE 24 HOUR PARTYB PEOPLE..

STEVE COOGAN ID FUCKI G ace!!!!!!!!

[NickA]

ID FUCKI G ace!!!!!!!!

I'm sure!!! Been on the vino Scamp?

[cantona]

Anton Corbjin is directing a new movie about the life of Ian Curtis called "Control" - should be interesting and I like his video direction for depeche mode and U2.

[cantona]

Oh and New Order are doing the soundtrack that is re-interpretations of old joy division songs and a couple of newies - might be using the Joy Division name too.

[barbaro]

Dis one?

NickA, Thank you!! That must be the one!

I want to buy it again. I can't read the title, though, but knowing what it looks like is good enough.

Cheers.

[lom]

Album title is Pills 'N' Thrills and Bellyaches

[NickA]

Anton Corbjin is directing a new movie about the life of Ian Curtis called "Control" - should be interesting and I like his video direction for depeche mode and U2.

Interesting, Anton has always been accused of overplaying the Ian Curtis myth in previous videos, so it should be quite dark and brooding. Who's gonna play the man though? No-one can really recreate his on stage performances, although the guy in 24 hours had a go.

[cantona]

NickA, I think it's some guy from leads who is a drummer in a band - got the part out of the blue I think.

[cantona]

sorry, Leeds

[barbaro]

Thank you Lom....

I met a backpacker yesterday who was as irritatingly over confident as he was handsome, his voice husky from too much patying and his manner more cheerful than an American daytime television host, only he was from Bethnal Green.

I asked him what he thought of the following bands and he said I should have been at the full moon party last night as it was 'wicked' and 'buzzing' and he also said that he's going up to Pai for a few days to 'chill' and asked where he could get some 'Linford'.
