You know what I mean?

Huh?

Is she really going out with him?

That's horrible Sulky. My friend (no, really) stepped out in front of a bus. He said he only saw it when it was about a metre in front of him and it was too late. He thought, "I'm dead". He got thrown about 10 metres but was ok.

I hope Scorsese is as stickybeaky as he was with The Band...

I think it sounds very sincere, and is very well executed for what it is. But, that, is a little one-dimensional, which is my complaint with Alison, So Like Candy and others - practically no insight is revealed into the girl by as much as a word, a bit of dialogue, so it's just about his sentiment t...

It got weird, didn't it? Ya.

Metamorhosis and other stories by Franz Kafka.

Is he still holding grudges like lonely high court judges?

Interesting theory Otis. I tried acting gay once but it didn't work. Can you give me lessons? They should have courses - how to master acting gay, to attract women, in 6 weeks.

Glue, industrial strength. But I don't know animals...

Now that I've got Austen Powers' mojo, Spooky (or Sulky, or both - I don't care), let's get it on...

1. When I was Cruel No.2 - They stopped time with this last July. It had a slower and very jungle-beat beat - that, and the sampling, hypnotizing everybody. Then, when he started with that distinctive guitar bit I was in heaven. But I still like it best in terms of the studio versions here, it still...

Very very cool. He looks formal but somehow dishevelled -- like he's been waving his arms around. This could be an enduring image.

Well, not "ever", but here is my top ten cast in pixels. 1. American Without Tears 2. New Amsterdam 3. Clubland 4. Man Out Of Time 5. All This Useless Beauty 6. God's Comic 7. Home Is Anywhere You Hang Your Head 8. New Lace Sleeves 9. Poor Fractured Atlas 10. Two Little Hitlers "don't...

Phil Lynott was incredible Black Rose is great. I really like Toughest Street In The Town, and what about S&M? "he just liked the violence...", a pretty sordid and humourous song at the same time, but that's just typical of Philo to put his unique spin on things. The whole album is gr...

I wrote it myself.

I hope not Mug, you'd have to be pretty thick not to know about the new versatile Costello by now.

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us?

I thought it might be a good idea to collate any tidbits that arise about it on a single thread for our quick reference, once comments/posts have been made on the usual 'scoop' threads. Also, stories for which URLs are given, such as the one below, could then disappear from their sites. COSTELLO GET...

So is the Tower over then? Anoraks come forth with all types of statistics about it -- longest lasting by the clock, most number of changes survived, shortest amount of time on, artists with the most songs....

AND, -- seems the appropriate moment to mention it -- another thing that keeps happening is, when going to post it prompts you (me, at least) to log in again. Just what kind of a site are you running here, Taz?

That cracked me up.

I'd find it harder to compare IB songs to those of another album, so decided on this. Which one is the best?

I was an accidental secret admirer; forgot to log in. I was a bit miffed that the last song poll was interrupted by the clock glitch after only 8 replies. I could tell that people were just dying to post some more cos, despite their frustration with the glitch, it still ended up with 23 votes. Here'...

so lacklustre wrote:Parisienne Walkways was Gary Moore, not Thin Lizzy.

Yeh, but Phil Lynott wrote it.

Thin Lizzy did it as well.

I still don't really know what 'You Bowed Down' is saying. Someone said it was about Derek Hatton and/or Paul McCartney. I can see the supposed Hatton references but not so much the McCartney ones. Any ideas? Bunny... I mean Plaything, I once said that it had 'crossed my mind' that it could have be...
