Right, you have a choice of the albums below but you can only get one, which one do you choose?

Jose Gonzalez - Veneer

Arctic Monkeys

Corrinne Bailey Ray (not sure of the spelling)

Kooks (if and when it's out)

Why can you only get one?

I'd probably get the Arctic Monkeys

Mr F,

My opinions.

Jose Gonzalez - Brilliant but leave it till the summer, will be the second album on as soon as the sun shines (Aerial - K.Bush being first, Ahhh a Pimms, wireless connection, deck chair and my CD player.).

Artic Monkey's a stunning debut but Mardy Bum aside you have heard it all, the more I listen the more I am convinced it is Mark and Lard (Bring back The Shirehorses)

CBR - Classic, is brilliant as it is beautiful.  However if your collection has not got Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday or some early motown is this really the album for you.

Kooks - the most under rated album for a very long time.  Titled, Inside In/Inside Out.  Chilled, sort of like Turin Breaks with a bit of Supergrass.

So to sum up I would buy Morning Runner - Wilderness is Paradise Now, a masterpiece come the end of the year it will be in most peoples top 5 if not 3.  

Share and Enjoy.

 ;iagree;

saw them at the academy several years back - music and comedy rolled into one :)

I'm with the shirehorses too.  Mark and Lard are absolute legends, was a sad day when they left Radio 1.  Still remember the shock in the voices when Kelly Jones left them a goodbye message.

They all make nice coasters to put your tea on while you listen to Furious Angels by Rob Dougan.

Artic monkeys allday long 8)

STOP......................


So dont bother with the albums you listed at the top of the thread - use the money wisely and buy several Shirehorses and Mighty Horse albums instead!!


........................ CARRY ON!!

all together

I once made the mistake of putting this on for the first time in an aeroplane.......pure comic genius

Artic Monkeys

Corrinne Bailey Ray

lol

I haven't heard of any of them.  It just shows that I am out of date.  Are these big groups?  :D

no, your just cut off from the rest of civilisation - news of these groups and their music should reach Kilmarnock by 2036 - so only another 30 years to wait.

What did you think of the bay city rollers latest hit?

I heard the new Bay City Rollers hit on the radio yesterday, Matt.  :D   

The DJ was muttering some nonsense about England having it in 1983.  We must be abit behind where I stay. lol

No seriously. Are these big bands?  What are they like, TAKE-THAT?  :D

Sorry I haven't heard of any of them. 

I am only 26. Surely I am not out of date already...am I 

ive heard of the artic monkeys but couldnt tell you a song title. maybe ive heard one? i wouldnt worry about it as the tunover of bands (if you can call some of them bands) is very high and you'd spend all your timne trying to keep up. the classic example is that noone batted an eyelid when chantelle from big brother said she was a star and the other housemates just accepted it

mad

Arctic Monkeys - I bet that you look good on the dancefloor.  When the sun goes down.  Fake tales of San Francisco.  Musically nothing like Take That.

Jose Gonzalez - Swedish guy, Heartbeats is an amazing song, new singles pretty good as well.  Heartbeats is on the TV advert with all the bouncy coloured balls.

Corrinne Bailey Ray - Solo artist has had two singles, the one about putting your records on is out at the minute, can't remember what either of them are called.

Kooks - second? single is on radio now so single in late April probably.  Naive is top quality really got me interested.

Morning Runner - Burning benches is second single and again is another top quality release.  Hadn't even considered them until Nakor mentioned them.

Mad is right though turnover is high, where are bands like the Feeling etc going to be next time next year?  Would love to see some of the medium bands from last year do well like Futureheads Maximo Park Hard Fi, but who knows.

Thanks, Mr F

I will ask some of my mates. They are trendy and probably have some of these songs.  I will borrow them and have a listen.

Sark, I don't really think it's about being trendy or cool, it's jsut what I consider good music, I'm sure theree's plenty of people out there who don't consider Jose Gonzalez cool music but by all accounts it's a very good album. 

Also if you listen to a lot of commercial radio you won't hear a lot of what I would call decent music.  For that sort of stuff you need Virgin XFM or radio 1 down here, you get crap in with it but less of it. 

I listen to Radio 2 and Radio 5.

Radio 2 only sometimes and Radio 5 most of the time. There isn't really alot of music on R5, if any at all.

I still listen to bands from the 80's and early 90's, with abit of Andrea Bocelli, Frank Sinatra and Venessa Mae thrown in.

I suspect that JG and CRB may get played on R2 occasionally.  Have you Hayseed Dixie on there?  Now they are a class act.  Went to see them at Wycombe Town Hall, brilliant.

Are they a folk and country band?

We now have XFM in scotland BTW - and it is pure quality - old beat 106.1 frequency. I mean - how often do you get to listen to sally cinnamon on your way to work in the morning.

lol. WTF

What the hell is a beat 106?  Is that a type of drum?

 How do I get this XFM?  ( what is it? .... Do they play classic rock music like the WHO, Rolling Stones, ect..... if they do, that would be cool)

try tuning your tranny to 106.1 fm frequency. You will get it in Kilmarnock. I drive past there every morning (very quickly) and the reception is good.

id go with artic monkeys ;)  and they're a sheffield band

Ok, I will give it a try mate. 

I was pulling your leg, I knew what it was..lol
