If you haven't already, you should give Beirut a listen... "Postcard From Italy", "Elephant Gun", and "A Sunday Smile" are good songs; with a French twist.

Not for everyone I suppose, but I like 'em.

I'm sure Beirut is a lovely city, but I was definately refering to the American band

Is that a tribute band for Tonto's Expanding Head Band?

WWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

And there's me thinking I was the only Gooner who knew about TEHB

Malcolm Cecil and robert Margoullef (sp?) - also played a BIG part in Stevie Wonder getting the sounds he wanted on his keyboards & synths etc for classics such as "Superstition" - they used to take em apart re-wire the shit out of them ....America and the Doobies all used them to re-programme their equipment....talking of Superstition....

That might make a good tune to chant/sing

"love the fleet foxes aint seen em live yet,got the new neil young album last week very good "

I agree it Rocks - though I still think Living with War and Chrome Dreams II - are better.....I'm hoping his hyde park set list is as good as last year at Hop Farm...one of the best gigs I've been to in a long time

coldplay have some good songs but there's just something about them that you love hate
