  1. QUOTE (Test4VitalSigns @ Apr 1 2007, 02:55 AM) It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it!!
  2. I knew it would be too easy, but when I saw Moonie's name in there, I just had to. You go girl!!!
  3. Good one Ceej!!!!!! OK, A cetain mod on the board was walking down the streets of San Francisco, when some scrotes in a passing car started shouting disparaging remarks about ballet. Straight away, he took off after the car at a ferocious rate, prompting one of his friends to comment - Damn Me - Mad Moonraker Fast!!!!
  4. A recent study of people travelling to New York asked how they intended spending the evening.The most popular answer was....With A Drink And A Friend
  5. My Chemical Romance on Sunday. Chaperoning my 13 year old daughter to her first ever gig.
  6. Another one joins the club!!!!!!!!!!! Well done C.J. (or should that be Siege!!!!!! )
  7. The Waterboys - Mount Errigal Hotel - Letterkenny Saturday March 24th The last time I saw The Waterboys indoors was in Cardiff in 1989, so I was hoping this would be a special night. It was better than dared to hope!!. They kicked off with new single Everybody Takes A Tumble, and the first part of the set leaned heavily on the new album. Great versions of Love Will Shoot You Down, Nobody's Baby Anymore, Strange Arrangement, She Tried To Hold Me, It's Gonna Rain and Sustain. Very hard and edgy, with Mike playing a mean, grungy guitar complimented by some wonderful fiddling by Steve Wickham. The rest of the set leaned heavily on This Is The Sea and Fisherman's Blues. Old England, When Ye Go Away, When Will We Be Married?, a beautiful Stolen Child, Medicine Bow and The Pan Within. The Glastonbury Song fron Drean Harder and Peace Of Iona from Universal Hall were also played, and an extended, riotous Fisherman's Blues provided the encore. To me, though, the absolute highlight was a song I had screamed for in cardiff 18 years ago, but wasn't played. Red Army Blues. A stunning version that not only reflected the passion and pathos of the Pagan Place version, it surpassed it. A few people left the gig diappointed at the absence of a few hits. No Whole of The Moon, no Bang On The Ear, no This Is The Sea. Personally, after a main set closing trio of Red Army Blues/Medicine Bow /The Pan Within, I didn't give a toss. A few nights earlier, they had played The Point in Dublin. It would have been easy for them to turn up to a hotel ballroom in a provincial town, stroll through a contractual obligation hour and a half, count the money and bugger off, but they played like a band of kids who had just been given their big break and their careers depended on what happened during their two hour set. Brilliant. My fifth Waterboys gig, and the best ever by a huge distance.
  8. It appears that Steve Howe of Yes has taken up sheep farm, and is now producing some of the world's most sought after wool for high quality knitwear. However, major controversey erupted when it was reported that he secures his high quality produce by subjecting his flock to low intensity electric shocks. The headline in the paper this week read - Howe Fleece Volt Wonders PS - I actually had a scramble prepared based on the 'Far Cry' lyrics, but in deference to the board's 'no spoiler' policy, I'll sit on it for the moment, even though I'd be stunned if anyone on the board has resisted the temptation to listen.
  9. 2 User(s) are reading this topic (0 Guests and 0 Anonymous Users): madra sneachta, GringoBBB Gringo That was a nice one!!! I'll post soon
  10. In deference to the UK/European members of the Goober "Yes, I am Tom Hanks" fan club, can I request that Far Cry be played early on in the show? Remember, we can't get it on iTunes, or principles prevent us from getting it on Limewire, so we've never heard the 'quality' version. Eikon's cleaned up version is the best quality one I've heard so far. You are our only hope Mr Bearman, please take us out of our misery before the Mr Sandman claims us as his own!!.
  11. I'm going to work on this today, I've been a little......distracted recently. You'll never guess why, let's just say that one day I ramble through the key to the scramble, the next it's just confusing me!!!!!!!!!
  12. Bugger!!!!!! Well done Gringo - beat me to it by about 50 minutes.
  13. QUOTE (willowroolz @ Mar 2 2007, 08:44 AM) QUOTE (Presto-digitation @ Mar 1 2007, 03:51 PM) Over at "another" Rush site, CP gets ripped a brown-eye at just about every turn, mostly by bitter, old Euros who swear the band has been in a constant state of decay since Permanent Waves. Would that be the other site that you and I both post on then? Nah, I love Counterparts. It's an album that constantly surprises me when I listen to it, and that's maybe because I hear so many negative comments about it that it sways my memory of just how good it is. It's an incredibly organic album, just fabulous What could that nameless mysterious site be?
  14. QUOTE (PuppetKing2112 @ Feb 24 2007, 06:18 PM) And by some miracle, I actually managed to score Row W on the floor. I am beside myself right now. Good news PK - Here, their UK/Ireland dates next week sold out in about six minutes. I couldn't have gone though because I'm on stage. Good news though is they've confirmed for the Oxegen festival in July, and I already have my ticket sorted for that. Other bands confirmed include - Snow Patrol, Muse, The Fratellis, James Morrison, Amy Winehouse, Bloc Party, Kings of Leon, My Chemical Romance, Interpol, The Kooks, Klaxons, Scissor Sisters, Babyshambles, Daft Punk, Tori Amos and CSS. Anyone in Scotland, this will also be the basic line up for T in the Park as well. Now, let's get The Decemberists, TV on the Radio, Of Montreal and The New Pornographers added to the bill and my summer will be complete!.
  15. QUOTE (Finbar @ Feb 25 2007, 07:15 AM) - Open Secrets by Rush and that new wave song I hear on the radio sometimes, I don't know the band name or song name, but it goes like, "I just died in your arms tonight! Must've been something you said," or something like that. - What You're Doing by Rush and a lot of Led Zeppelin songs. Cutting Crew - "I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight" Originally released late 1986 in the UK/Europe, hit the charts in the US a few months later in 1987.
  16. Always a pleasure to be your audience Rolinda
  17. Cue Ghost - Gee, Did Al Diet? Line from an 80s classic 7-3-6-4
  18. You might get a VERY special treat tonight folks!!!!!!!!! "Use both your hands to hold me tight, tighter than you should"
  19. I'm cold and tired, but at least my working day is over 30% finished!!! Good morning
  20. Your wish is my command majesty. The pess conference to announce details of the new album is in full swing. TRF's crack reporter (who shall remains nameless, save to say that she's an admin) is ready to ask an incisive question, when suddenly, she noticed Alex seemed to look quite svelte and dapper. The exchange went as follows - Cue Ghost - Gee, Did Al Diet?
  21. Well done Rolinda, to be honest I had about 10 witty alternatives for the original clue, but never cam into the Scramble at all because I've been trapped in the forum discdussing the new album. What's that it's called again?. Oh yeah, Snakes and Arrows!!!!
  22. A little bit misty, but a reasonably nice morning. Good morning!!.
  23. It's not "old", as such, but the one I want to get is Oliver Stone's film of Eric Bogosian's "Talk Radio".
