Quiet old day at work, popped out to HMV during lunch and picked up 'Life is Good' by the Sugarcubes, which I'm checking out now. Doesn't seem to bad. What's the rest of you lads and lassies listening to?

btw,do you know anything about "weezer" ? what sort of music ?
"Geek Rock" is the official term. I really like Weezer. The critics don't like them, but they have a massive 'cult' following all over the world. New album is solid, not amazing, but pretty good all the same.Quote:

She is a former classical guitarist who drifted through folk type music into pop/rock. A female Paul Brady if you will. But the title track which roughly translates as " 1000 Ways to Kill Love" and the closer " Mlyny Melou" which roughly translates as " Mills are Grinding" are the standout tracks. :p
If any of you are curious you can hear the tracks on www.lenkafilipova.cz and this CD is the only one available on MP3 on the site so you can't go wrong.
Tiesto-Just be
Greatest hits of 1994! (Found the tape some memories)
Daft Punk-Human after all
The what???!! What the fúck is one of those? ;)Quote:

Its the tasteless youth of today :eek: ;)Quote:

...and today I will mostly be listening to Graham Coxon's 'Happiness in Magazines' third listen so far, so still making up my mind, but over all quite good.
Dundalks finest ...the sultry and oh so beautiful...
Jinx Lennon -Free State Nova.
you were very close to getting an official warning there lionel :D
Listening to Audioslave - copy off the bro in law.... They rawk, is about all I know about them..... Kinda meeting in the middle with the bro in law, from his metal background and my indie one (doubt that'll happen with the other bro in law who was in Cradle of Filth :D )....
Somebody gave me a cd by The Go Team,never heard of them before,don't know where they're from ,sounds alright though,a bit like Cornelius,worth a listen.
haven't seen her site/heard her but it sounds like it could be good. lucky enough to have a mate in prague (what a city) who sends me music rec's and a disk from time to time, this czech eva bittova's stuff was great. i'd say she stayed closer to the folk rather than getting pop though.. although it does certainly 'rock' (fu ckin labels! :rolleyes: ) i think i'll be curious and -no pun- check out her site especially if she's as tasty as you say :D :D :DQuote:
