Shall we hurdy gurdy to the satellites and then about town to the strut of the Zimmerman?

I could see them at Reading, but they clash with Bad Religion. No contest really...

I'm off to Reading too, and will definitely see Arcade Fire.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Billy is VERY English, just like Frank. It's like when people used to say Donovan was an English Bob Dylan and I used to say that Robyn Hitchcock was an English Donovan. A little joke of mine that no-one ever really gets or understands.

Don't worry Alex.

Some people outside the UK, seem to think that the UK = England. :icon_roll

Shop Assistants Jeff? If you like thier more lively Safety Net type stuff, try listening to 'The Brilliant Colors.' They're a 2010 young American all girl band that somehow manage to sound just like a Subway Records band from 1986.
I found them by mistake when looking for The Brilliant Corners. I'm glad I did.

What are first and second?

 

[tedfoxxx]

What are first and second?

I'd guess at Swede's fox being along the lines of;

1. How soon is now?
2. The boy with a thorn in his side.

 

[Ian Marshall]

Dylan - Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands.

Close but mine would be:

1. Bigmouth strikes again
2. There is a light that never goes out

Then probably How soon is now? at fourth place.

Okay, so what do you think is the best non-Smiths/Morrissey song ever written?

Wow, tough question - to be honest, I have no idea. I enjoy a variety of very different music, although I listen mainly to britpop. But the best song ever written, well I'll have to think about that.

What about you?

 

[tedfoxxx]

Paranoid Android by Radiohead or the greatest song ever?

Obviously not as good as most Moz/Smiths songs but hey-ho.
