Just got the new albums by Doves and New Order. Frankly, I just don't get Doves- I'm probably the only person who preferred them when they were Sub Sub. To finish off a Manchester themed morning I'm going to steal a car.

Have New Order actually written a new song since 1983?
Haven't bought anything new for a while. Currently listening to Shadow Huntaz 'Corrupt Data' Instrumentals - their proper album's full of bad rapping, but the music is lovely. I've also borrowed Dalek's noisey hip-hop opus, 'Absence'.

There's a group called "Daleks"? I never got over the fact that somebody named themselves wookie or something. Currently listening to wake-up juice tunes - the aggressive tracks towards the end of Muse album Absolution (a gift sent to educate me in the ways of modern pop;) ) |

The launch party for A Day At The Races featured leather clad dwarfs with trays covered in coke strapped to their heads. I still don't know why that images amuses me. |

Have New Order actually written a new song since 1983? Harsh but (reasonably) fair. They've been phoning it in since 1987 by my calculation. |

(which come to think of it could be a fascist name also ...) - or am I thinking of Duran Duran ...  Whatever, its all to frightening to contemplate. |

Whatever, its all to frightening to contemplate. No idea where the Human League name came from (Situationists? They're usually to blame for something), but Duran Duran is the name of a character in Barbarella. I'm surprised you didn't know that. |

I know where the name Duran Duran comes from -you Doofus!! The evil genius with the evil torture love machine, and the something-ray. I've even got the 1967 Comic Strip (English translation from the French). (oops descending into Comic Store character from Simpsons. Worst. Post. Ever. ;D) Zero-G stripping - been watching then Jem video recently (naughty girl, thank you TMF channel  ... Today I'll be mostly listenning to a compilation thrust upon me by DAT500: Waits, Walker, Gira & Cave "Love Letters From the Abyss" Disc 1 & 2 - trying to go cold turkey on Damien Rice.  |

I'm currently listening to ... Damien Rice "O" (its all simple vocals, acoustic guitar and unrequited love ... stuff that gets through those long nights ... ) I heard some of his stuff for the first time a couple of nights ago- some light night live thing on channel 4. He's a little, er, bland, wouldn't you say? Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of singer songwriters (Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen, Neil Diamond), but the current crop are so, I don't know, DULL! I saw Katie Melua with Mrs Juno a while back, and the sheer mind numbing tedium made me want to punch a nun. The last string botherer that brought to such a peak of teeth spitting rage was David Sodding Gray (to give him his full name). At first he was mildly irritating, then I noticed that 'wobbly neck' thing he did ALL THE DAMN TIME. The red mist descended and Wolverhampton Civic Centre was no more. On the plus side, I got an Inner City Renewal Award for that one. On the subject of classic singer/songwriters, the word on the street 1 is that Rick Rubin is going to be working with Neil Diamond. It was Rick Rubin who produced Johnny Cash's later works, which are utterly essential. 1Obviously, by 'the street', I mean the sad little messageboards that me and my ilk spend our lives sniffing around |

6 Oasis albums on shuffle Need to know every word before I see them in the summer! ;D I'm still really confused by this - that you're so excited about Oasis - I must have totally overdosed on Oasis in 1991 - I've got a couple of albums and never listen to them now. I mean I think I really loved them then and all that sillyness with Blur. Maybe I'm a bit jealous - like I should have gone to see them at the time. Maybe their going to last and last ... We'll be all watching them in 2040 or something (like Status Quo ...  ) |

Amazing album Hoggle - I dont own any Bowie, maybe I should. I totally hear you Barny J - Got a few of the artists you mentioned. I could go off on a blah about acoustic guitar / ballady type songs. (confession - I used to be really into Billy Joel - but I seem to be somewhere else now) In reading all this I've also realised I've seen a few small gigs - lots of local bands but I dont think I've ever been to a festival (I was probably in the middle of one at college and I wouldn't have known it) - I still cant work it out. But there was a phase when it seemed to be all about the drugs or something, never fancied "pilling" it in a field, and I'm not a great camper ... I'm such a prude. (Wants to quote a certain Pulp song ...) |

The mud, the mud!!!! I'd spend the whole time going ... "Who are they?" ... "Oh ... and they're popular are they?" - it'd worse than going with a grandad ... (You kids and your Ee-Pods, your baggy trousers and your Empty3's ... ;D) |
