Yeah, I like these too.

[anti-hero]

Shite---- Hard Fi, Kaiser Chiefs, Franz Ferdinand, My Chemical Romance

its that simple people.

No its not.


Its your opinion and your entitled to it but not everyone would agree with what you call "sh't music" and what you deem to be a good listen.

[woof woof !]

Stuff I listen to most ,Tragically Hip , John Mellencamp , Van Morrison , Jimmy Smith (jazz organist) .But my taste runs the whole gamut of the music spectrum from classical thru pop rock reggae jazz folk country and even chinese traditional .

Chinese traditional?

Wow..

Thats... very unique.

There's a chinese insrument called an ERHU , sounds like a mournful violin . Very haunting , you'll often hear it in soundtracks to chinese movies .

I love it . 

[anti-hero]

I've actually seen school mates play it back when I was living in Asia.

It reminded me of huge upside down mallets with strings on em.


It does sound like depressing violins but it wasnt much my taste.

I rather like that big board-like thingy with strings on them.

I dont know its name but it was fun strumming it awhile in music class.

If you've watched "Kung-Fu Hustle" you'd know what I mean.

It is a bit melancholy ,in a bittersweet kinda way .

used to listen to nwa in my youth

Excuse me for being simple, but, what does nwa stand for?

(I have a feeling I'm going to feel silly)

it stands for N(derogatory word for coloured persons)iggaz With Attitude

That's the one.

I remember the teach separating us into groups to try out the intruments..

(Singapore is predominantly Chinese, see.)

So I ended up trying a whole ton of Chinese instruments.

From the Erhu to that, to a Chinese flute, to a Chinese xylophone and then finally a GONG.


That. Was enjoyable.

The Killers "Hot Stuff" for me is the best album I've personally heard in years.  No competition.  Hard Fi's album is indeed class.  I've had that for months now and have listened to it too much.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis still sounds as fresh today as it did twelve years ago.  Now did that album open my eyes as a fifteen year old kid?  I'd never heard anything like it in my life.  Oasis were to me what The Beatles must have been to my parents.  I absolutely loved them.  I've saw them five times in total up to now, and I wouldn't hesitate in going to see them again.

I've been watching Smallville a lot recently, and I discovered a clever song played over the end credits of an episode written by a band called Five For Fighting actually titled "Superman" and written from the perspective of Superman singing it if you listen to or read the lyrics.  You know when you just have song on repeat sometimes?  Have a listen if you can download it.

Not a day goes by when I don't throw Ray Charles Greatest Hits on.  I am 3/4 of the way through the film which I watched on Thursday night before I fell asleep so I will finish it tomorrow probably.  Jamie Foxx is believable as him, and the Oscar looks well deserved.

Other than that, I regularly listen to Coldplay, Ian Brown and the Stone Roses, Keane, Razorlight, Stevie Wonder, a few favourites of The Eagles songs (my mp3 player was full of The Eagles when I went to Thailand last year and listening to them reminds me of Thailand and I like that......) The Rolling Stones (I'm off to see them in August at Cardiff), Fleetwood Mac, Embrace and The Zutons.

My brothers always have Johnny Cash, The Who or Bob Dylan blasting, so you can't get away from them in the house neither.

Right now, I'm actually listening to Norah Jones' Come Away With Me.  A fantastic album.  Not very rock n' roll but it's easy listening background music for when you're just surfing the net with a glass of wine on a Saturday night. 

I sound like a right tit there actually don't I?  Listening to Norah Jones whilst sipping wine?  I knocked a ticket back for a Zutons gig in Preston tonight.  Would have been loads of studenty ladies there and everything.  I might have even got laid!!!

What the fuck's wrong with me?

Nah, I'm joking, but a good song is a good song at the end of the day, even if Robbie Williams sings it.  Personally, I liked the Swing album he released.  Good songs are good songs even if the person who sings it isn't the most fashionable.  On my PC, you'll find some songs I've downloaded because when you listen to them they remind you of a certain place, a certain time in your life, or a certain person. 

There's nothing wrong in my eyes in admitting you've got the odd song by artists.  The odd song might be good in an otherwise rubbish album.  I've got odd songs from the likes of Shakin Stevens, Transvision Vamp, UB40, Wheatus, The Police.  Not bands in any other circumstances I would listen to, just that they have some odd songs which I like.  Nothing wrong in that.

What you think is s*i*e, other people may enjoy.  It's just the way musical tastes are I suppose.

  transvision vamp     saw them at the royal court in 1989, can't remember much other than goin on the lash all afternoon at the queens near williamson square and the fact that to an 18 year old lad wendy james just f*ckin ROCKED  

saw rage against the machine there in about 1992/3 - one of the very best gigs i've evr been to

All I ever got at school was a bloody triangle ,   

I held that once too.

I had to hit it everytime my classmate with the maracas shook it twice.

"chaca-chaca-Ting! chaca-chaca-Ting!"



If that's boring you should try out the castanets.

Bored my brains out.
