This is hilarious. The BBC website have been running a poll for the greatest American (united studlian) ever, as part of a BBC-led global debate on the USA's place in the world. This has resulted in a shortlist of ten which they are asking for further votes on. The shortlist is (in alphabetical orde...

Shabby - I've read all the Harry Potter books, they're okay but a lot of the ideas are borrowed from elsewhere, notably Terry Pratchett.

I'm ploughing through another Colin Bateman book, called Murphy's Law.

Had mine back in March and I considered a tattoo etc., but didn't go through with it. It won't make you any younger, just make you look like mutton dressed as lamb! The power of positive thinking is the best way to stay feeling young. My other half kindly dumped our daughter with a friend for the ni...

smg - I am enjoying that Uncut CD. I am not familiar with most of the tracks, but there are plenty of sitars etc. Dig out your beads and kaftan! This issue may have reached your shores already, as it is the June edition, which means it probably came out in early May! Here is the link to the website,...

Looks like you should have left Spooky G off instead...............But you're stupid and you're lazy.........

1. Alibi - Gorgeous
2. Episode Of Blonde - Gorgeous chorus
3. Tart - Gorgeous opening
4. WIWC No.2 - over gorgeous
5. Spooky Girlfriend - Gorgeous live, but the WIWC version doesn't do it for me.

say no more, nudge nudge.

Thanks Pet.

Have you been sniffing glue again?

miss b.a - Seems to good to be true, are you sure that he isn't gay as well?

Pet,

Have you forgotten that here in blighty we're currently on British Summer Time (GMT + 1 hour)? The clock here seems to work better for me than the previous board which seemed to throw the time out by half an hour.

Anyone else get June's issue of Uncut? The free CD is called 'Acid Daze' and contains 18 'psychedelic classics from the UK underground'. Just been listening to it and chillin' out, there are some really greta tracks on it such as: The Small Faces - Green Circles Kevin Ayers - Clarence In Wonderland ...

Ten reasons not to be in Toronto. 1. SARS 2. The Blue Jays have been on a good streak, but it will surely end soon. 3. SARS 4. It's in Canada!! 5. SARS 6. The Maple Leafs suck 7. SARS 8. Can't remember what the basketball team are, but they're not so hot either. 9. SARS 10. It gets very cold in wint...

Yeah, Bob & Marcia were good. Agree with you about Radiohead Otis, although I thought the closing track was good. The series has been really good and long may it live. Rumour has it that Shane Macgowan is going to do a duet with Jules for Jules' next album, although I don't know if he is going t...

That is better.

Thanks Tux.

The winners imo should be the tracks that survived the most posts.

Anyone care to start counting?

HH for me.

Let's get this board fizzing. RULES 1. One entry each 2. No changing once you've posted 3. Include 10 tracks ONLY 4. They Have to be ordered 5. Do not include = 6. Do not list different versions, just the song will do. POINTS 1. = 10 points 2. = 9 points etc. I will keep score, and will post the res...

What about these singles -- Don't Believe A Word, Dancing In The Moonlight, Waiting For An Alibi, Do Anything You Want To Do, Sarah, Chinatown, Killer On The Loose, Are You Ready, Still In Love With You, Hollywood, The Sun Goes Down, Parisienne Walkways - do these get played on the radio at all? I ...

Jailbreak and Rosalie were minor hits over here if I remember right. I really like the Live and Dangerous album.

I'm still waiting to ttdd on the mad bitch so....

1 Tramp The Dirt Down
2 Invasion Hit Parade
3 All The Rage
4 You Bowed Down

Good stuff storm. I love the link between LV and Detectives on the AF reissue and so would squeeze that in. I would also like to see Roadette Song (TYM reissue) and Spooky Girlfriend (CS) included. I wasn't too keen on SG when WIWC came out, but after seeing him do it live it's clear that that is th...

You paid money to go and watch this voluntarily?

OUT Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up IN Ramones - I Wanna Be Sedated Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime Super Furry Animals - Golden Retriever David Bowie - Aladdin Sane The White Stripes - Ball And Biscuit The Clash - Rudie Can't Fail Bob & Marcia - Young, Gifted and Black Björk - Hyperballad Ramon...

ih - I sympathise with you, one of the good things about being out of work is that I get to play what I want all day! I've always hated Follow You Follow Me, but does anyone know what the word is after he sings the song title? It always sounds like "Follow you, follow me greenish.
