Not heard it for years but a couple of days on steve lamaq's show on 6 music he played david bowie's "the laughing gnome" for his national anthem track Obviously given my username this tickled (no pun intended) me something rotten!  Actually it was quite a funny story for the national anthem (basically he chooses a news story from the day and people text in with relevant track suggestions).  What happened was a woman went outside to find one of her garden gnomes was MIA.  7 months later she went outside to find said gnome sitting on her doorstep with a photo album full of pictures of said gnome in loads of famous places from around the world.  Clearly amelie inspired but made me laugh

The Charlatans - Stir It Up

 

Possibly one of the best tracks the band have ever made.  It just reeks of funk!   :headbanger:

 

It's like Sproston Green's big brother!

 

:intheclub:

 

Fantastic song, one of my favourite B-sides.

 

Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill

 

Amazingly enough, Placebo do a brilliant version of that.

 

And I'm currently listening to:

 

And I was a boy from school - Hot Chip

The Verve - Forth

Quite a sparkling return to form.

 

One or two tunes sound a bit "Ashcroft" but it balances the record out a bit - there's something for all Verve fans on there insofar as it has bits that could fit into any of their three previous records.  Personal favourite tunes on it are Sit and Wonder, Numbness & Appalachian Springs.

 

Beware though, with each track bar one or two coming in at roughly 6-7 minutes, it's quite a long record (12 tracks incl bonus).

Are you going to the Connect festival by any chance?  You always seem to be listening to a band playing Connect (Guillemots, Passenger, Goldfrapp etc...)

 

Someone's paying close attention. You are not a stalker are you?  ;D

 

No I'm not going to the Connect festival. I'd rather have my eyes poked out than slop around a field for a weekend with a bunch of smelly students. I like to have a shower and change clothes at the end of the day  ;)

That's me, an innocent man.  Cheers bloo!  :thumbsup::wave:

 

Glad you noted the irony.  The Mark Chapman pic would've been a bad move.  :thumbsup:

 

Today I've been listening to:

 

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless

Jim Noir - Tower of Love & Jim Noir

Kings of Leon - Aha Shake Heartbreak

The Music - Strength in Numbers & Welcome to the North
