Ah yes. That’s a hit-trick Pukey. Fucking dinger of a song. Altough he’s Scottish, Mike Scott manages to encapsulate Ireland in this ditty, I think.

sorry farmer, I have to go with pukey on tracy chapman, while her lyrics are worthy etc her “music” does not make me want to sing along, dance or sway.*

I was subjected to her album for a full 2 years by a lad I shared a flat with and I was fit to kill him

  • with the exception of “talkin bout a revolution”

I’ve been good today and posted up an INCREDIBLE Van Morrison live bootleg. You can download it here:

It’s amazing stuff. The version of Sweet Thing is transcendent.

As I eluded to on the Gigs 2009 thread there is a non-Green Day Green Day album out there called Stop Drop and Roll!!!. It was released by the band Foxboro Hot Tubs which basically is Green Day.

http://www.myspace.com/foxborohottubs

The album is excellent and is a must have for any Green Day fans.
It has a bit of weird sound to it.
It is a bunch of songs that they worked on for the new album that didn’t fit what they were trying to do. But they liked the songs so much they put them in an album of their own and released them.

There are 4 songs on the myspace page. Mother Mary is super.

My favourite off the album is called “Dark Side of Night”. Hard to find even on youtube etc…
