So a couple of my mates who will be with me next June are "not sure" about seeing RH, largely because they don't know their music. They asked me to suggest five songs they should listen to.

I'm thinking:

1. Just

2. Nude

3. 2+2=5

4. Fake Plastic Trees

5. The Numbers

(6. Bonus track: Spectre)

Please improve my list!

No Surprises, Idioteque, There There, Weird Fishes / Arpeggi, Identikit. If you're going to introduce them to Just, make sure you emphasise how great of a set opener it would be, so they can suffer in perennial anticipation like the rest of us!

Best way to improve the list is to tailor it to their tastes. What music are they in to?

If someone hasn't heard Just or Fake Plastic Trees, I'm gonna assume "none".

No Surprises is just a shit Let Down.

So are you.

I was an accident so I'm not sure how much expectation there really was of me.

Edit: That just makes me being a shit let down even worse doesn't it.

When I first read your post I was trying to work out how on earth I'm a shit version of the song Let Down until it clicked.

Any word on Glasgow gig yet?

7th July - Glasgow Green.

Not confirmed yet but I hope you're not looking for a cheap hotel.

Good point. One is French and likes quite a wide range (sadly, including French pop/rock). The other has pretty mainstream tastes so last year saw Adele and Coldplay, Ronnie Spector. To be honest neither are likely to be hanging around on a forum like this - both like music but its all a little vanilla. I suspect they do know FPT, I thought it was a good example of an accessible song. I'd really like to sit them in front of a video of one of this years gigs but I know that won't happen.

OK, in that case go with the list you have, maybe something from In Rainbows.

To be honest, I suspect they might not enjoy the gig, which is fine. I really like the band's later material, but it's not for everyone in the way the older stuff was.

Yeah, me too. I seem to be one of the few people here who doesn't see a song from AMSP as a wasted opportunity. I'd like them to see it (and to like it) but maybe I should give them five challenging songs as more of a caution than an inducement. I still have my daughter to keep me company - she came to Amsterdam and will also do two nights in Manchester with me... but she missed the Roundhouse because it clashed with SWMRS. Young people eh?

Sad news that Rachel Owen - Thom's partner for 23 years and mother of his two children - passed away on Sunday after a long battle with cancer.

[TomViolence]

Very sad news indeed . My thoughts are with the family.

[FloorFiller]

[scaryclaireyfairy]

Horrible news.  Damn.

That's awful.

[Woffy]

And there was me earlier moaning like a twat about how busy it was in Tescos this morning.

 

Awful news.

Rest in Peace.

Maybe, though I suppose it already will have been. Lots of songs are about her, naturally. Might suggest why they finally stuck True Love Waits on an album.
