A strange post posting a very old post?

Not really, its a known issue with the site that the quote thing is fucked. I tried posting a while back and quoted by accident, couldn't get rid of it. Laptop fucked so only way to get rid of it so i can post on my phone is to post it.

I was looking up tour dates earlier of bands I've seen at glasto before and would like to see again, and Eels were among them. Nothing listed at the moment, but there's still 4 months to go, so who knows? Fingers crossed!  

Yeah until they arent there we still have hope

That was my joke. Much as I'm sure Mrs scruff would welcome a chance to part exchange me i wasn't really offering her to the yeti. 

She may want rid of me but she ain't that desperate yet. 

I hate it when that happens.  No wonder my youngest has problems, I get more aspie by the day!

Todays journey into work has just been brightened up by the annoucment of

 

[thurlow84]

Anyone else like the lucid dream in here? 

 

 

[mr gumby]

Are you a PJ Harvey fan, thurlow? Any suggestions where I should start? I've only knowingly heard the songs she did with Nick Cave. I was put off listening to her by a friend of mine who was part of her touring band years back. He said she was a right pain in the arse to work with. Willing to give her a listen, though, if you can give me some tips. 

[thurlow84]

I'd start with her 2 mercury albums mr g

Stories from the city, stories from the sea 

Let england shake

Start with stories from the city, stories from the sea or rid of me. Is this desire? Is brilliant but harder work. 

Cheers, scruffy. I'll look them up later on.

Thanks, thurlow. I've heard Let England Shake is very different from the rest of her albums, is that true?

Yeah its different but not in a bad way

Personal opinion is that let England shake is brilliant when you first hear it and definitely to be admired but for some reason it isn't one to revisit often. Can't argue with the musical expertise on it but for me it's missing something that I can't put my finger on.

Just finished Stories from... Have to admit I'm a bit put off by her voice, which reminds me of Chrissie Hynde, who I've never liked. Musically and lyrically interesting, enough to make me carry on listening, but I think I'm unlikely to be convinced. Open mind, though!

Yeah, I'm not keen to be honest. I've now listened to a few tracks each from the other albums mentioned, and I just can't get past the nasal quality in her voice. Oh well, it was worth a try! Glad there are people looking forward to seeing her, anyway  

[thurlow84]

Given its a slow thread day with only me mr g and scruffy nattering amongst each other heres another music video from an act i like

You surprise me but fair enough. Thought there'd be crossover with your cave/eels fandom. Don't even know why that's logical but in my head it is. Mick Harvey is all over stories from the city with his bass and production. 

Yeah, like I said, musically interesting, but the voice puts me off.

Alright chaps!! 

From my desk I can see blue sky, a bit of wispy cloud, and a plane just flew over. Lovely! Yesterday I had a small puddle in my car though, so you know, swings and roundabouts!! 

I hope the lovely weather gods are practicing the sunshine for the fest! It's so nice!

Afternoon Splodge long time no hear, good to hear from ya mate

With you on PJ Harvey mate you hit the nail on the head with that, i think that's why i cant fully get into her, don`t get me wrong i do like her and listen quiet often but its the Chrissie Hynde voice i cant get my head around. 

Same here today Lucy the ninja its bloody lovely out today and get the feeling its just a practice for end of June
