and I'm not yet 30. What gives? I just listened to Fix You 5 times in a row. It's only a couple of clicks away from Bad Religion and the Mull Historical Society, it's not like I have the excuse of being too lazy to change CDs. Should I just give up, buy a Dido album and a pipe, and possibly a VFR?

Oh dear there is no hope :wink: :lol:
My fav tunes at the moment are...
Miffy, miffy, miffy run...
and
Pocoyo...
I they are just mental...
Ain't been a Dad great...
Ha-ha! They're actually pretty talented musicians so no shame in it really.
If I'm anything to go by, then expect to buy your first Katie Melua CD in about a years time. :lol:
Don't worry folks, I've only listened to it once. I blame the hard-sell advert with her sad puppydog eyes staring out of the screen. Manipulative biatch spending my dosh for me! :D

my condolences... since you've crossed over to the dark side, you'll probably take an interest in Snow Patrol, Embrace and Travis now...
:(
Travis
My god the guy thinks he is getting old not suicidal.
I used to own the first 2 albums, but I sold them to some losers on Amazon for what I paid for them new. To my ears they're like Status quo with a piano, I hate them almost as much as I hate Oasis.

I'm going to try and get off this one on a technicality. I saw Coldplay at the Edinburgh venue in December 2000, co-headlining with Terris. They were rubbish, but! That means I can claim to have been into them before they were famous.
This is really true for Snow Patrol, saw them as Polar Bear supporting, if memory serves, Maya, a very long time ago. They were good, bought the album, forgot about them for a while then heard Run and dug out the old ones. Everyone loves Run, it's fantastic.
I absolutely, positively, cannot stand Coldplay! There! That's better.
I like Coldplay - seen them twice and im only 24
I have just gone right off you. northy. Coldplay are rubbish

I haven't really heard them - think I saw them on Jools Holland once, but they were instantly forgettable. They struck me as bland music for chardonnay-drinking 30-somethings.

IMO some of those bands are sooooooooooo depressing - ! :cry:
Gimme rock (zepplin, Hendrix etc) jazz, funk, fusion, dance anything upbeat (jamiroquai - got all their cds 8) )- and when Im feeling serious I play a bit of Chopin, Mozart, and Debussy on the joanna - some Beethoven and Chopin IMO is like acoustic heavy rock - 8) :D
Coldplay are almost as bad as U2!!
Ah, the Irish Status Quo

What a brilliant way to sum them up
Gimme rock (zepplin, Hendrix etc) jazz, funk
jazz and funk, aren't they the same? When combined referred to Junk :P
Seriously tho Jazz to me is a group of musicians all playing different tunes. Maybe I am not sophisticated enough for Jazz (or old enough).

Gimme rock
Go download, if you can, the track Fix You- it's the one that got me hooked. Rock epic!
Quote from The 40 Year Old Virgin
David: You know how I know you're gay?
Cal: How?
David: You like Coldplay

right you asked for it :lol: :lol: Im learning to be an anorak so bear with me - Im not an expert but have only been playing and learning jazz for about 1 year now and this is my take on it -
Jazz followed on from from blues and rythm and blues, jazz combined with dance/rock/pop becomes pop/fusion/funk - , The Crusaders, George Benson, Donald Fagan that type of thing (and IMO jamiroquai)
Seriously tho Jazz to me is a group of musicians all playing different tunes. Maybe I am not sophisticated enough for Jazz (or old enough).
youre thinking of the modern/alternative/experimental stuff that came out in the 60's where it all goes discordant - cant stand it meself - yuk!
Jazz is very wide ranged from Trad jazz (new orleans, and Kenny Ball type stuff - not my cup of tea ) , old standards like "fly me to the moon" (again no my cup of tea), stuff which I like - Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, then youve got comercial stuff like Jamie cullum, Diana Krawl, Norah Jones. When jazz musicians get together you have to know a bit of theory of chord progressions and types of scales and then each instrument takes it in turn to improvise a solo (make it up as you go along - harmonising to the melody) There you are then - a precis of my limited knowledge of Jazz and related music 8) :lol:
now you can stop snoring :smt015 :lol:
