Hi Baz...Have just about recovered from the Festival, it was pretty folky and there was a novelty band called the Skimmity Hitchers who do their own stuff as well as covers of songs that they change the words to all sung in West Country/Dorset accents..like My Girl Cider Cup (lollipop), Viva Lyme Regis (Las Vegas), Imagine (there's no Devon)....they were hilarious and brilliant to do-si -do to (although you wouldn't want to actually listen to them at home tho!). I have heard of Jesus and Mary chain and Cocteau Twins but never actually listened to them so I may well just do that... I think a lot of the new bands I have seen recently are influenced by that kind of stuff to that now like Crushed Beaks, Slowcoaches and Fanzine who I saw a few weeks ago who were pretty good. At the moment my playlist has gone a bit 80'/90's heavy funk this week I'm mostly listening to Infectiuos Grooves & Faith No More with a bit of Ride thrown in...How bout you

I listened to the album and it's pretty good, a little mellow for me on first listen...having said that it usually takes me a few listens to get into stuff sometimes...But if you have any more recommendations let me know as I always wanna hear new (to me) music. I am going to a local music festival this weekend so am hoping to hear some new sounds that will inspire me ♥ it's a bit folky tho and they have some really weird yokel bands sometimes but hey-ho....any plans yourself for the weekend Mrluvaluva?

Thanks for the link...haha it wasn't any of the ones I listened too on La Tube! Just playing the album in the background now...

Um It's probably best not too mention why I can't remember that part...on the grounds that it may incriminate me haha. I tried to listen to The Satellites but got confyowsed as their are 'bout five bands with that name...do they have a female singer and sound quite dreamy? Or is it the one with the male vocals that are quite 60's sounding? My last purchase I bought four albums : You Cross My Path - The Charlatans, Rant - The Future Heads, Django, Django - Self Titled and um...ok please don't laugh ...but, The Wombats ( But only for Techno Fan)....

Wowsers..I love that you have such an eclectic mix of music tastes...Am so jealous that you went to the Hacienda, which was from all accounts....legendary...I bet you heard some great sounds there? The best I got is Alexandra Palace NYE 2000 with Ian Brown, Primal Scream and Orbital ...apparently The Chemical Brothers and Liam Howlett were DJiing but I don't quite remember that bit haha. I always have new music I want to buy.. in fact I write lists and carry them in my bag in case I pass a record store and can't remember...I'm terrible with the 2 for £10 deals at HMV! What's album did you last buy? Now hang on...I've just seen your Blondie thread...must go and look up stuff to post..

Yeah I'm the same..I love albums 'cos you get all the artwork and sometimes the lyrics too..but I don't have much on vinyl 'cos I don't have a record player but my dad has some really good original records from the 60's/70's which I stole and copied like The Velvet Underground, Grateful Dead etc. My favourite well known artists that I always listen to are Jane's Addiction, Stone Roses, Libertines, Charlatans, RHCP & Teenage Fanclub but that's just because I grew up with them I guess... I like so many other artists from other era's too for instance I love Nina Simone, Blondie & T-Rex..it's hard just to pick just a few..What are the artists you listen to the most?

I like the sound of Can your Pussy do the dog...They got some good titles! I'm gonna listen to that next...Just out of interest, do you buy albums in CD form or do you download everything ? I'm a sucker for CD's and my collection takes pride of place on my sideboard...sad I know...
