"Mornings Eleven" - The Magic Numbers (just a fantastic song and a fantastic record)

Happily.

This one includes a tribute of sorts to your fellow New Orleans native Fats Domino, Fats. Dedication is hardly the "very best of Thin Lizzy" imho, there's too much other great stuff not represented on it. I'd like to hear the songs remastered though, some of the old TL cds I have need an upgrade.

Couldn't agree with you more Bambi. Any 'Best Of' Thin Lizzy without The Emerald is already lacking!

Great duelling solos on that one. What ever happened with guitar solos...

Hard rocking ones, that is.

I have no problem with the 'hard rock' form myself. Will buy the new GN'R next month.

The best thing about hard rock/metal is the constant presence of guitar harmonies. Thin Lizzy excelled at this, as did Priest, Maiden, Scorpions, etc. The ones from The Emerald and Boys are Back in Town are the best though.

There's not much of that in much popular music now (sadly), or even the use of 'power chords'. Damn Nirvana! Maybe there'll be some kind of revival of it at some point. I'm not holding my breath.

Talking of Blur, I've never been that into them, though I do like Think Tank. Listened to their Best Of the other day, and it does contain some real gems, like End Of The Century, Girls and Boys, but it also contains two travesties that summed up why I never liked them that much: Parklife and Country House. I think Graham Coxon and maybe Damon too more or less dismissed the latter, and yes, Roll With It was much better, but because Parklife was a very celebrated LP, the song is feted as a key part of it, when in fact it's an embarrassing attempt to be cockney geezers with the tedious intervention of Phil Daniels, and some of the most unlistenable lyrics I've ever come across. The chorus is OK, but the verse consigns the song to Room 101. Damon has redeemed all that due to his involvement in the thoroughly admirable Gorillaz. And some of the other collaboration stuff he's done seems good too. I wonder what else he'll do in the future.

Right up there with Coles Corner. I have tickets to see him at Cafe Sin-e in March and will find babysitting help if it kills me.

You know, I'm not heavy into rap music, and I'm skeptical of many remakes, but I'm really kind of taken with this new version of Harry Chapin's Cats in the Cradle called Just Like Me done by DMC and Sarah McLachlan. I remember Chapin's version - grew up on it - and I just heard this really different take on the song over the weekend while in Chattanooga. I would have *never* put these two artists together, but apparently when he contemplated suicide a while back it was Sarah's music that moved him to not go through with it. This is really a dark sounding - almost haunting sounding - song, but with a more positive spin on a parent child relationship than Chapin's original, covering DMC's quest in finding out how that he was adopted and coming to terms with it. When he approached Sarah about collaboration she revealed that she was also adopted. The two of them on this one song really works, at least with me. The whole song just really reflects a lot of soul-searching. Really been enjoying it.

So how do Arctic Monkeys sound to you, Mood? Getting off on that provincial Sheffield teenage sound? It's a fun LP. Will the term 'mardy' be entering your vocabulary?

The Mountain Goats - We Shall All Be Healed (courtesy of Pompey Tom) - good stuff.
