Posted March 4, 2009 There are times when Martha Wainwright looks just like my mother's wonderful but spacey friend. Which is a good thing, she is a wonderful beacon of warmth (my mother's friend, I've yet to meet Miss Wainwright). [of little relavence really] T'is a nice song. Snow Patrol are one of those bands that aren't offensive, but not one I'd choose to listen to often. Although I do quite like 'Somewhere A Clock is Ticking' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I do quite like 'Somewhere A Clock is Ticking' Yeah, I just love that song. Not just because of her...as you say, they're nice/fine. But other than that, I don't hold up much else of their stuff as great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 4, 2009 Set The Fire To The Third Bar is one of my favourite songs ever. Technically on par with the greats. Third by Portishead, Hyperballad by Bjork, We Float by PJ Harvey etc etc It's just brilliant. But then I hate Snow Patrol on their own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 4, 2009 Such a catchy tune, and oh so summery...if only it were summer. Bitchflaps. God, I love GaGa, I think if she wasn't such a complete slag that love would be lessened. Same with Miley. If it's the first time you've heard it, you'll hate it. It takes a while, and then suddenly you want to take it round the back of the bike-sheds for a quick hump every few minutes.

Posted March 4, 2009 I like Snow Patrol, Set The Fire to the Third Bar is easily one of the best tracks on Eyes Open, I still like that album and One Hundred Million Suns, people complain about their change in direction but I really don't care, old or new Snow Patrol are good, a lot of bands change direction by their third album or w/e anyway so I really don't see that is matters, I just enjoy what I can from each album of the bands that I really like, simple. Also thanks for that Video Paj, it's been a while since I've listened to that track but it's always nice to be reminded of how lovely it is. ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 4, 2009 I never really appreciated Eyes Open, but looking back i didn't really give it much of a chance after the first listen (which is stange for me because some of my favourite albums i thought were pretty shit after their first listen). Set The Fire to the Third Bar is a brilliant song that being said. I thought that Final Straw was their best album, although i wasn't the biggest fan of Run, especially after it got ridiculously overplayed. Grazed knees, Somewhere a Clock is Ticking and Wow were the highlights for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It takes a while, and then suddenly you want to take it round the back of the bike-sheds for a quick hump every few minutes. I like it more than used to, but it's one of the "blah" ones on the album. I hate the way she puts her hands on hips. Unbelievably poserish. ---- Why do I prefer Soulwax's mix of Kids to the original? *bops around* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 4, 2009 Is the chorus "STARSTRUCK! baby can you blow my heart up?" I prefer that to the verses. The Fame is best track though. I just looked at the little mini site you can access with the CD...nothing much on it. Got an atrocious remix of LoveGame. Signed up for something, not sure what. *shrug* I LOVE that remix, hated it at first, but it gets me horny now....literally D= Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's one mint song. : peace: --------------------------------------------------------- I fancy another Vintage Video. Do you? This video has one huge distinction: To put it simply, it was the very first music video played on MTV on its launch on 1st August 1981.

Posted March 4, 2009 They added 'Keep On Your Mean Side' to Spotify. I love 'Gypsy Death and You'. It says 2009 which is funny.

Posted March 4, 2009 Apparently Chris Martin gave Natalie Imbruglia the best songs that he's ever written (the little bird that told me) so that means its somewhere between the sound of a thousand mating cats being killed and nails on a chalkboard. Shame, I like Imbruglia. In other news. There shall be a Beatles Masters Degree. Sounds fun. Useless, but fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 4, 2009 In other news. There shall be a Beatles Masters Degree. Sounds fun. Useless, but fun. Along with Madonna studies, and the one about David beckham. I like that it sounds rubbish, but technically encompasses a lot of cultural, sociological, history etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 4, 2009 if you take The Beatles as the centre point for middle sixties counter culture, yeah. You have a course. There could be research in it, if it's a musical course too. It's not like they couldn't write Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 5, 2009 Listening to an NPR (some radio station) podcast, which is a full length gig from Liz Phair's tour last year, where she played the entirety of Exile In Guyville. The fact she gets an audience member to sing the looped line "Everytime I see your face, I get all wet between my legs" is brilliant, while she sings the rest of the sordid lyrics.
