Let's give it to So Like Candy! Radiohead released the track "Lucky" as a single towards the end of 1995 in aid of War Child and it would evetually appear on OK Computer, but it wasn't a big hit. Then in January they released "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" as a fifth single lifted fr...

Oasis/Pulp/Suede are close: ie. British and popular.

DrJ

Nope

DrJ

Ahh, yes, sorry, doing nightshifts y'see... Convoluted question time: Which group released the first song off their third album as a single at the end of 1995 before releasing a fifth single from their second album at the start of 1996? It's a well known band so guess away, I'd be asking too much to...

Here's a great thread from another board that I trawl where people are putting up links to their fave songs of 2004. The Brand New (out this week) Pixies song is there "Bam Thwock" along with a Radiohead rarity and a bunch of choice cuts... http://chilled.cream.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3...

Honours B.A. in English, just had my graduation ceremony today. Congratulations BC. Enjoy this time before joining the workforce. As for my own qualifications, some of you might be surprised to find out that I'm a doctor. (Speciality: Emergency Medicine.) Please turn your head and cough. And now pa...

After a great day out in London on Monday, I was offered a London job which on reflection, I'm going to take. I've always wanted to live in London, have always loved the place and using to the logic of "How will I look back on my life when I'm 70" I don't want to regret passing over a chan...

A bit covers heavy, but that's appropriate I guess. GCW looks great. I will be buying them all.

When did the last ones come out? Was it last July?

DrJ

Yes, let's ask mug...

DrJ

Shouldn't the plural be Lunae Parks?

DrJ

Thank you all, verrrry innerestin'. The London job, which I still might not get, would leave me with the same qualification as the Leeds job. But professionally Leeds has a good reptation (as in, "oooh, he worked with Mr X in Leeds"). For what it's worth, I'll be 30 at the end of July, if ...

Thought I'd gauge opinions off the board. Today I was offered a job in Leeds. The job would last five years. In order to become a consultatnt specialist in the UK/Ireland, you have to become a Specialiast Registrar (SpR) for a few years in that speciality. I need to move to the UK because the option...

Uh, June Tabor, Wilco and Rick Wakeman?

Keep the trivia thread alive, people!

DrJ

I think Pete & Rog should keep on doing what they're doing. I'm curious. I mean, we all know it's not That Who, but it's better than no Who at all. I got the new Kids Are Alright DVD two weeks ago and that is the greatest way to observe and celebrate this band. Their Rock & Roll circus versi...

Is there an album coming out?

DrJ

But, but, Paul's the nice Beatle.

DrJ

...haemorrhage, allegedly due to a brawl, conspiracy people say Lennon threw a stray punch.

DrJ

Well done BC, them be the samples I was thinking of. It's worth noting that I Can Only Give You Everything was originally performed by Van but written by Phil Coulter, an Irish music business veteran and (co-) writer of Cliff Richards' Congratulations, Sandie Shaw's Puppet on A String, Elvis Presley...

Yes, here I am, at all the bizarre hours!

DrJ

Or the Black Dyke Mills band...

Which Beck song samples which Van Morrison song?

Note that there are two occasions (that I know of) where Beck has sampled VtheM. I will accept either.

DrJ

Badfinger (aka The Iveys), Jackie Lomax and Mary Hopkin.

DrJ

Levon Helm?

A guess.

DrJ

Well done oily... question away

The Who - Who Are You from the album Who Are You
Squeeze - Who Are You? from Babylon and on
Tom Waits - Who Are You from Bone Machine

The things you notice in iTunes...

DrJ
(No need to be sorry, Otis, blame the system!)

Yes, work, doing my own job and covering for three others off sick/on holidays, while my evening replacement turns up over an hour late.

Now that that's off my chest:

A song title shared by Squeeze, Tom Waits and The Who. What is it?
