Music

If anyone is interested in buying second hand music, there is a decent shop in Lancaster.

Oxfam receive donations of clothes, books, records etc and distribute them around their shops. However there is one bloke who is very clued up on the music business and he sifts through the music donations which are then put up for sale in Oxfam bookshop in Lancaster.

They have a section which is pretty comprehensive. They sell vinyl, albums, singles, CD's, tapes, a few programmes etc but they Don't stock the crap that appears in most second hand shops.

They also re-stock every 6 weeks ish.

Not big but decent quality especially collectibles.

What am I listening to? I'm listening to The Score, by The Fugees. I know, I know, it's taken me this long to catch on, but I am very glad I got around to buying this one. One of the best Hip-Hop albums ever.

[sleepyjack]

this month i have mostly been listening to:

joy division - closer

sonic youth - washing machine

my bloody valentine - loveless

pavement - slanted and enchanted

explosions in the sky - those who tell the truth shall die, those who tell the truth shall live forever

and just a tiny bit of radiohead.

[Tarka]

Listening to some old skool Cure. Album by the name of Bloodflowers which my friend lent to me.

[CornwallRover]

Well, it's coming to the end of the year, so what have been people's favourite albums of this year (actually released this year)? I think my top five would be:

Amazing Grace - Spiritualized

There's no Power without Control - Conflict

Enemy of the Enemy - Asian Dub Foundation

Shootenanny! - Eels

Welcome to Poppy's - Fun Lovin' Criminals

Most disappointing...... ? err, Cooper Temple Clause. No way near as good as the first one!

Didn't know the Stuffies had even reformed Rosie, is the new album all new material? All we need now is for Ned's Atomic Dustbin to announce a comeback tour and I'm 17 all over again.

Morph, no, don't think so.

Check out their website: http://www.thewonderstuff.com/ - they brought out a new dvd in May - not new stuff, more live and re-recorded.

anyone like Absolution by MUSE?

[CornwallRover]

anyone like Absolution by MUSE?

You'll have to speak to Bellamy11 about that one.

[Scotty]

anyone like Absolution by MUSE?

It's OK IMO.  The stand-out song is The Time is Running Out but there are other good ones.

[Dan Furness]

I think Absolution is a very powerful song

[bellamy11]

Absolution is great, but just not the classic album they're capable of. 'Sing For Absolution' is a very powerful song, as is 'Butterflies And Hurricanes' (though, in a completely OTT fashion, NME said it was the most powerful song ever written or some other such garbage). TSP and Time Is Running Out are also standouts. The SmallPrint has come a long way since they played it a few years ago on the live circuit, but it still sounds very nice.

Speaking of Muse I got three cds of B-sides/Unreleased/Live tracks off E-bay. £27. Absolute bargain if you're a Muse fan. 59 songs, most of which are very listenable. Obviously you'll have heard some of them if you have the singles and 'The Hullabaloo Soundtrack' but its well worth it IMO.

[Dan Furness]

yep i agree with you on all that

was meant to b goin to see em on 29th november yet my MUM decided to lose my ticket  

[Jordan]

my god that song come on in town on saturday

surprising just how popular it is

[S15]

highly predictable that i'd put this but pearl jam lost dogs is quality. 2 discs full of the songs that didn't make it on to albums or were b-sides ect,.. and it's so much better than anything most bands could ever dream of doing.

chili peppers greatest hits also,.. though you know what your getting it's still quality, and the dvd version is worth buying if you own a dvd player. the new track 'fortune faded' is a nice lil' ditty too.

[damo gally]

Going to see Radiohead on Saturday after the game, cant wait! Hopefully I wont be so drunk that i dont remember it! (Well how else am i going to spend my time between full time at OT and the gig, certainley not shopping!)

Anyone else going?

[Ste B]

Being drunk and falling asleep at a radiohead concert is probably a blessing in disguise.

In other music news, Busted have complained that being labelled a boy band is offensive.   Much like their music.
