I can't get the CD "Rockin' the Suburbs" by Ben Folds off my CD changer...it is superb. I find that a couple of songs have a sort of E.L.O. feel to them (ie. Annie Waits)....anyone else?

I also have Jeff Buckley's "Grace" stuck in my changer....I love "Hallelujah".

I also found out Wilco has a new album ready to go, but they can't find a label.....this upsets me greatly when a wonderful band doesn't get support from the music industry, yet crap artists get signed every five minutes. Frowner

Good stuff Doc. I can't recommend the new Ben Folds album highly enough. Anyone who's heard the single should note that nothing else on the album is anything like it - for the most part it's just amazingly tuneful piano-based pop tunes. Utterly fantastic.

And on the subject of Hallelujah, I'm currently listening to Rufus Wainwright's superb version of it (recorded for the Shrek soundtrack).
I've got the new Ben Folds album & had it for a while, but I haven't even listened to it yet. I got it free, that's why. I wouldn't bought it. I'll have to listen to it now thanks to Dr. Thirsty's review.

I'm listening to Travis's new album - Smiler Smiler Smiler Smiler Smiler .
& also (don't laugh!) Ace Of Base's Happy Nation LP. - A Classic.

Yesterday I was listening to U2's The Joshua Tree - another all time classic, aswell as their new one (ATYCLB).
Tori's CD hasn't been off my player since I bought it. Thank Goodness for Ms Amos. The only let down is Happiness Is A Warm Gun. I'd have loved to have heard her sing that song, rather than put a 10 minute cut and paste backing track to her shrieking the Mother Superior line...

I agree with you, Finned, about Enjoy The Silence. Its rather fantastic isn't it?
I only ever listen to frenz related stuff but i ahve takena short break from the frenz stuff because it's all getting a bit to much and besides my parents used to like Neil Finn (until I continously played CH, SE and Neil's solo stuff really loudly while doing my homework).

Please forgive me! Smiler and I'm also listening to hunters and Collectors under one roof (yahoo)! I just can't get enough of it!

cheers Kate!

I think i'm going to have to get me a copy of Ben Folds album now Smiler

But right now I'm listening to Alex Lloyd's new album Watching Angels Mend which susposedly features backing vocals from Sharon Finn, though i can't seem to hear her anywhere Confused

And speaking of Gomez, they are now being described as a six-piece Confused
Who's the new member?
I have also been listening to The Sophtware Slump by Grandaddy and it is spectacular. I saw a snippet of an interview with Coldplay and Chris mentioned great bands that don't get much sales like "The Flaming Lips, Grandaddy, and Ron Sexsmith."

Well, I already knew about The Flaming Lips and Grandaddy......but I now must check out Ron Sexsmith. (I have only heard one song by him...but I really liked it.)
Right now as I type I'm listening to track 18 on The John Lennon Collection disc, Move Over Ms. L, not one of his best lyrically, but quite catchy! Also Beatles' Anthology 2 has been in high rotation in my disc player - the best Anthology! Really interesting to see how Strawberry Fields came together...
Also listening to my home made best of U2 1990 - 2001. Admiring my magnificent work as well as the tracks. Really plays well (or me thinks so)!
On my record player, a U2 bootleg, We Are Waiting For A Right Day, is on high rotation. Terrific stuff!! I'm stoked... it's my first bootleg!!!

[QB]I made up a U2 - Best Of 1991 - 2001 too. When they released their Best Of 1980 - 1990 a couple of years ago, they should've released this too in a double CD.

& last night I was listening to Richard Ashcroft's album, it's not as good as his band (The Verve), but it's still some good

come on now GOD, no oasis album is better than any neil finn written record. definitely maybe is up there, thats a good recoerd but the rest are pretty ordinary.
and the richard ashcroft's album is very good but dont you find that most of the songs go on to long. needs to learn how to finish a song off.(think this is just me though)

- I thought Morning Glory was just a little bit better than Definitly Maybe , but each to their own. As for Be Here Now ,]http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000002C25.01.THUMBZZZ.jpg[/IMG], that would have to have been one of the worst follow ups to a hit record ever. Anyone agree? The average track length would be about 7 minutes (no exaderation) & it just goes on & on.
It's a close call between Together Alone & Morning Glory for the best album ever - so close I ccouldn't even say. If I was listening to TA, i'd say that & vice-versa.

- Good point. Just the Oasis LP, it goes on for a while, but unlike the Oasis LP, this one is at least a bit credible. I picked up this CD for $12.99 @ JB-HI-FI. The Verve's Urbun Hymns is better though + it's up there with TA & MG.

heh heh heh


Valerie don't listen to 'em!

I'm 14 and it's the other way around at our house!
My mum's telling me all the time to "stop playing that bloody Neil Finn, he's driving me mad".

to which I reply "hey he's got a song on this album called Driving Me Mad, do you want to listen to it"?

then she screams in rage "NO I DON"T NOW TURN IT OFF!!!"

but we all know that it's a bit hard to just turn off NEil Finn In the middle of Turn and run. even if it's the seventh consecutive time today that I've played it!

I just can't get enough!
I'm listening to Alex Lloyd's "Amazing" single that I purchased from retailer Big W @ the nifty price of AU$4.04

On it are some acoustic tracks of some of his old songs and they are great.
I really wish Neil or Tim Finn would release a CD compilation of just plain acoustic or piano tracks on an album. Why? I just love how the vocals come out of the speakers and right into your ear, and so clearly too, minus all the other instruments.

Isn't it just me but isn't it just great to hear more of these 1 on 1 acoustic or piano versions.
I can't get enough of them, especially after hearing the first few acoustic songs in the Cold Live At The Chapel. They are just so eerie and simple.
