well ok not exactly rock... but they sing nice songs!!

Oh good God...

I was still toying with the idea - nay, the hope - that you were being sarcastic about liking them. *Shudder*

Ah well.

Westlife?

REALLY?

Well the "gentle ribbing" between the pair of you has caused enough crap on this forum and I'm not having anymore of it.

I consider myself to be pretty leniant on this forum and I have let you slide on a lot of things, particularly during the elections. (*edit*Threatening to crash the beers to confront a poster ring any bells?)

So how about you keep your "gentle ribbing" to yourself in future because my patience for you has well and truly run out.

Now, lets get back on topic.

I've been stuck into Tool's Lateralus for a good while now. Bloody sophistocated work, it is. Feckin Fibonacci.

Scraggs

Currently listening to some Johnny Cash that I havent heard in a while... I adore him.

[I'd just like to add... I'm not a hardcore westlife fan or anything btw! I just like poptastic tunes...]

Tool are absolutely fantastic, and Lateralus is amazing

We played all kinds of cr*p on Belfield FM...

Belfield FM is bad, but Shannonside Northern Sound is uber-s***ty. Anybody living in the Midlands or Border Counties will know what I'm talking about. This radio station is for die-hard country'n'western aficionados in the forty-plus age bracket. All the presenters have faux-Tenessee accents. Brutal stuff. I grew up with my Grandad listening to this tripe, hence my aversion to all things 'country'.

There was a culture of dissent in the early nineties and mid nineties, at the zenith of rave culture, where loads of pirate stations popped up around Dublin. Them were the days. A former SU President would know more about it than I, considering he was a DJ on one of these illegal stations.

Everythin' by Billy Bragg... The man is a fcuking legend, can't believe I never discovered him before tbh... Respect to boneless for properly introducin me to his stuff.

VenusInFurs

A couple of years ago, Bragg did a cover album of Woody Guthrie's stuff called 'Mermaid Avenue'. I'm not into my folk but this certainly impressed.

Sangre

Binatone Spectrum, Pacman, Commodore
ZX-81, donkey kong, ****ing high score
Push it to the limit, couldn't push it any more
Wanna be a ****ing robot after smoking loads of draw

Bought a speak and spell, stuck it to my chest
And wraps some ****ing TIN FOIL to my head and to my vest
Walking down the stret, my next door neighbours not impressed
I'm a robot and buying ten fags is my quest

Eggsie's gone too far, he thinks he's robocop
He's covered in tinfoil and he's got matching metal socks
We tried to sedate him but he ****ing escaped
The man robot myth starts to escalate

He tries to sell himself standing in curries
But if the police turn up, he runs in a ****ing hurry
He tries to plug himself in the mains with his nob
And when he's fully recharged he goes out on the rob

Half man, half machine
What does it mean?
What does it mean?

Half man, half machine
What does it mean?

Being a robot in my digital domain
Enter my world, feel my pain
I'm not like other people you might see or you might know
I made love to a BBC micro
Touching on the disk drive, the monitor got hot
I knew from then, I was a mother****ing robot
Bill Gates from Microsoft, Stephen Hawking's voice
And ****ing Lara Croft

I built a lab, secret in my loft
And built a special costume that would help me to jack off
I sat there in front of the screen
For many years, this had been my wet dream
Now I've reched it, I'm finally there
Like terminator being filmed in Aberdare
So alone, when people stop and stare
Like C3PO but with pubes and hair

Robot Love
Robot
Robotic Breakdancing
Robot

The doctors found a nut
They said he was an headcase
'cos he sticks silver and cans on his face

Sucking off antennas and trying to **** the fridge
And burnt his pubic wig, with the high voltage

I am a robot
My prime directive is to's go to's the shops
And buy's ten fags
Do's you's compute?

He wants to buy ten fags, his destination is the shops
A tinfoil suit and a hat like Robocop
If your ask him then he'll do a bodypop
Like terminator, yeah he just won't stop

Put electical cable down through the eye of his cock
Plugged it in the wall and gave himself a big shock
The reason that he did it wasn't to give himself pain
Watching Terminator over again and again

**** man, get him, ****ing restrain him man
get him ****ing, ****ing get him down man
inject him man, get him down
He's ****ing nuts spa and he's losing it
Help me man, just get him ****ing....

Half man, half machine

I know! I had only really listened through it before, but listening as a musician and applying all my amaz0r skills (¬_¬) to it helped me realise just how complex an album it is. Then all of the mathematical significance as well, of course.
Can't wait for the new album!!

Been drumming away to Undertow for a while too

Chinafoot

Springsteen's Born to Run album. (What with last year being the 30th anniversary....still listening) The man is a legend as far as I'm concerned. Just read his interview with Nick Hornby (I bet he creamed his pants, the man is a HUGE fan of The Boss) Pure quality.

Also recently rediscovered my love for Incubus, Ella Fitzgerald and The Police.

Snap, VIF, but for Shannonside read LMFM. Possibly the foremost reason that I very much disassociate myself with any non-GAA-or-Slane connections to Meath!

You can't diss Radio Romance with Michael Gerrard on LMFM!

I looooved that at night when I was in school. Had my top three played so many times!

Incubus! I love Incubus! I like all the new stuff too, but I still have a soft spot for S.C.I.E.N.C.E

singingstranger

Having gone to St Finian's in Mullingar and therefore being of the Adrian Kennedy nighttime-listening variety, Michael's dulcet tones were a bit of a rarity. You do know that he's not doing the night-time slot any more?

Anyway, Michael Gerard for five hours a night was one thing. Listening to Dermot flipping Finglas for the other 19 hours playing his Country & Irish muck is quite another.

Yea S.C.I.E.N.C.E. is class. It never gets old. I really liked A Crow Left of the Murder too, it was such a cool change for them. His voice is amazing too.
I also discovered a live version of Brandon singing with No Doubt, doing a cover version of Message in a Bottle by The Police. Quality!

tintinr35

lovin the jose gonsalez album, the music from the sony bravia add, well worth a listen

Lol, I remember getting that for my birthday about 10 years ago.. tis still pretty good Anything she did after that (apart from her little cameo as God in Dogma) is absolute sh1te though.

Another album I've just rediscovered? Metallica - S&M Great stuff!

Chinafoot

Modern Life is Rubbish by Blur

Johnny Cash -- American 3 Solitary Man, in particular I Won't Back Down!

panda100

When I said country I meant good country-like Johnny cash,Dolly Parton 'Jolene',Willie Nelson that sort of Jazz.I didnt mean your pseudo-Irish country like Declan Nerney and Philomena Begley!!My mum is from Longford so I think maybe the country thang is just in my genes.It is a good soundtrack to study too though.

Alains Moiressette was one of my first albums ever too!Young at heart by the bluebells and Put em under pressure that Italia 90 song were my first singles...maybe I shouldnt be admitting these things in public.....:o

Oh and peachy-dont worry,me and venusinfurs are totally over the su elections now,so much so that we are even meeting for a coffee next week-dont worry I wont be throwing the scalding hot liquid AT him even though I may be tempted:D

I like the music on Belfield fm-they played rocky theme tune once-cool!

Blush_01

Welcome to "The Grand Old Oprey" Live on Tipperary Midwest Radio... I feel the pain. Don't get me started on my old busdriver who, on the hour-long bus journey to school, played Galtee FM so loudly we couldn't hear. Philomena Begley was a rare treat. And shure, didn't Louise Morrissey come from Bansha, therefore she had to be played at least once every 10 minutes.:rolleyes:

That said, I was talking to someone about music the other day and as he listed off everything on his laptop I found myself cringing in agreement with some things...

Stepherunie

I had county sound with it's weekly religious programming on a sunday evening, which, for some obscure reason (probably because I got nabbed by Sr Nuala) I ended up appearing on. Very Dodgy........

The joys of north cork people, you're all missing out...

Larien

I finally got my hands on a copy of Greenday's first album: Kerplunk. It's classic. It made me remember just how much I love them...not that I'd really forgotten. I've also rediscovered Alanis Morrissette because I did a review of her greatest hits for O2 and got the album free. I love college newspapers! Also...I'm listening to a lot of Ryan Adams...he's great.

Finally there is at least one other person on this planet who realizes how fucking great and important that album is!

BKtje

I gotta say that Tool have some of the best music/lyric combo's and im a fairly big fan (that said i know nothing about the maths behind whatever ) of their music.

Anyone ever listen to Grey Daze or Liquid Tension Experiment? Both very good imo and not as widely known as i'd have expected.

Seconded. There's another album, Smoothed Out Slappy Hours, which has a load of their old stuff remastered... I know you know that album, cos Disappearing Boy is from that (man I love that song), but I say that just for other ppl's benefit!
