Actually, the Mona Lisa and Mad Hatters song is also in Almost Famous. It's the seen immediately before the gorgeous Penny Lane takes an overdose.

Shit film. Timid, pimply, nice guy loser from North Bumfuck, Incestiana wants to see the big bad world so off he goes on his travels, where he ends up writing about other people getting laid, and watches on as the girl he’s desperately in love with gets fucked like a groupie whore by the guy he idolises.

So, what exactly was it about the film that resonated with you, mate?

Was there a sewing machine involved?

No!

Assume this is where this goes....

Bowie's new album is rather marvellous I think, somewhat unexpectedly so.

Just saying

Ooh. A timely reminder.
Cheers.

Maybe I'm not of the right age but, that Bowie single is absolute shite.

Haven't heard the Album so can't comment on what it's like, but having to listen (against my will) to radio 2 it seems it's humanly impossible, and perhaps illegal!?, to say anything against David Bowie!

I will have a listen to the album tho as I am quite Intrigued

Thanks to Chippy Jnr I have been listening to Alt J and Bastille. Both great but the latter's album is bloody brilliant.

With regards to these Chippy? Someone else pointed me in the direction of Bastille and I couldn't find anything that I was impressed with. The other one I hadn't heard of until your post so I pulled some up on you tube and again was disappointed.

Feel free to direct to some of your favourite tracks.

All I was saying was tell me what you are currently listening to. If you're slagging my music at least give me a target.

Breezeblocks by Alt J is a classic..

Bastille album is good but maybe a bit samey for my liking. A bit like momford and sons, I never actually seek out to listen to their music but appreciate it when it comes on the radio etc.

Looking forward to seeing both of em at glastonbury.
