Recently met this band in York and though they where pretty good, as they where busking outside the races. Anyone who brings a horn section busking is doing something right in my opinion.

Heard someof there older stuff at Myspace.com/hotfudgetheband
but last week they did a set for BBC Radio York Indroducing,hear it here http://bit.ly/cHeiqv and I have to say thought it was excellent. Something new from a band who I'd like to think could have great things ahead of them.

Show your support,if you feel it.

Looking forward to this flick, by writer/director, actor, BAFTA winner/commity member, and sometimes Doctor Who companion, Noel Clarke.

Maybe he should have colaberated with Peter Green back in the 60's
[and don'y you think he looks like Anthony Hopkins in a Santa's beard]

...but i'm re watching it @ the moment and one burning question wasn't resolved, at least not that I could find.

Who Shot Snot???#

Anyone know?

Anyone else heard of this guitarist, great player, best blues guitarist i've 'discovered' in along time.

Just thought some of you would like to know.

i've found out my harps and for a cheap instrament,you can take any where, damn its good!

I think I may adopt this as my theme tune

I've just read Giles Smith piece in Junes edition, and I think I should put my head above the parapit, and say, i'm a Word reader and a Fan of Chris 'saviour of Radio1' Moyles. These thing do not have to be mutually exclusive.

Much of Moyles' dislike is second hand, based on hearsay and a percieved idea of what he's like. Is he Stephen Fry,or Ian Hislop, the whitty banter spcialists? NO, but then i'm not sure thats what i'm looking for a 6.30AM. Does he bang on and on about 'new music' for so long it's been replaced by the next new fad? No, he'll openly express his opinion, and then dear reader, he'll admit, 2 or 3 weeks down the road if he was wrong!

Does he give an air of musical superiority? No, but listen to his golden hour on a Friday,

Oh, and he's not affriad to drop song beloved of the play list team

anyway just a thought

Over the weekend I was luck enough to fly to Edinburgh. This was my first flight for a few years, and the first since i've had a iPod, and I looked forward to having the huge majority of stuff in own to listen to on the flight.

However, I found that seemingly some music goes well in flight, and some just doesn't feel right. Much loved Seasick Steve, and the Black Diamond Heavies just don't go, in fact most Blues just seemed to be too rooted in the earth to feel right.

And this is not some kind of pun based thing where Tom Petty's Learing to Fly works [although it does] in fact twangy MOR seems to fair pretty well, as did Rap,Dizzy Rascal, Kanye West, Ice Cube solo, but not Ice-T or NWA, Ryan Adams-NO Beth Orton-Yes.
Chuck Berry -Yes, Carl Perkins-NO

I'm sure this is in no way scientific, but has anyone else experianced this.

Sorry to do this to you, bu i've recently become slighty obcessed with a Kids crtoon called 'Freefonics'. More inexplicably i have no idea why?

Basically one group The freefhonics,are guardians of the 13th note, something that provides power through music. Another group,Mantyz are attempting to gain this power for there own ends.

Now i'm not sure if it's the Pop group good/goth group bad dynamic, or the use of musical intramewnts as weapons,but this just doesn't sit well with me, but i'm still drawn to it.

see for yourself

Since most otherr magazine and newspaper review section are obcessed with Star rating, how about a Rating systems for Obituaries, thus meaing you can glance at the despatched section, and Read the ***** obit for someone worthwhile, and read the * for someone whos going to get 'a good shoeing'
discuss.

Just had a text from a friend in Nottingham that there has been a report on local new that selectadisc is to close. NOthing i can see on the local BBC news web site, or on http://www.selectadisc.co.uk

Anyone else hear this, or is this just a bad F*(kin'n dream.
I was in there only last week, on a Sunday morning and there was a fair amount of foot fall, and to qoute Blur, 'it game me a sence of enourmous wellbeing' That place should be kept open as an NHS walk-in centre, as a form of threapy!!!

Tell me it isn't true

Noel Clarke writer/actor/director has been nominated for The Orange rising star BAFTA award.

To many Noel is Mickey Smith from Doctor Who, to others he is the creative force behind KiDULTHODD, and AdULTHOOD, [a first time director for the latter] two very popular and critically aclaimed film. As a British Director, tagged as the british Spike Lee [although somewould say the british john singleton/kevin smith/Zach Braff hybred]IMHO he is someone to keep a eye on and if you like support in the following way...

To support Noel for the Orange rising Star BAFTA award (and help him win) please TEXT CLARKE 82058 or go here

More info here http://bafta.orange.co.uk/nominees/show/2/

or to put it another way

I have no association with Mr Clarke, or his business dealing, i just like his work, other canidates are avialable.

Thanks for you consideration.

Yesterday I recieved via Amazon Trance-fusion by Frank Zappa, the third in the guitar solos trilogy [as it currently stands].
Due to the bad weather and an accident on the M5, i was forced to take a somewhat circuatous route home. I started the CD in the car as i left work [it's not on my iPod yet], and the final notes faded away with much cheersing from the live audiance, as i pulled on the drive at home.

Having been a huge Zappa fan in the past i've only just started tyo listen to any stuff again.

How odd that on the day after this journey, i recall today is the annerversary of Zappa's death.

So, just to say 'MUSIC IS THE BEST'
AND THANKS TO FRANK.

I started using BBC iPlayer last week, downloading the first 2 eps of survivors, all was fine.
i've tried downloading sundays Top Gear, and Charles brookers screenwipe, but once the downloads are completed, i click, watch now, and iPlay plays the station Ident, and the stops, previously it showed the ident [say 15 seconds] and then preceeded to the program.

I'mn not the most technical of people, and Iplayer help eem pretty useless/ad slow

Is anyone else having the same problems ???
Can you help???
