This is better.... with very tasteful pics/video! Dixie Chicks

Love the Chicks. Feisty gals. But much prefer the song I posted

They are actually on record as saying they are ashamed of the fact that former US President George Bush comes from their state of Texas.

That was more than enough to endear them to me.

:(

Still prefer the Cowboy song though....

In my CD player...at the mo is..............The Beatles: Let It Be album

Glen Mhor · January 30, 2010

Playing Speak No Evil CD by Tinsley Ellis just now.

**tm4tj** · January 30, 2010

Well done Glen Mhor, he is a new one on me but well worth a listen.........thats not a band by the way, great tune.

I'll go for a bit of John Mayall, with his bluesbreakers of course

cheers

Johnboy · January 30, 2010

Ahhh.... John Mayall - a legend!

Try this one with Peter Green on guitar.

I was listening to The Queen Is Dead by the Smiths last night, whilst playing darts, when my wife pointed out that I've been doing exactly that for 20 years now!

First time I ever played darts in Inverness was at the 'no conservatives' Bught. During practice, for the first and only time, I hit two 180s in a row and no-one would play me after that. Had they played me then they'd have see me hit 26 almost every other shot :lol:

John, that's what Not Ready To Make Nice is about: the fallout from their comments about Bush. To say they were pilloried is putting it mildly; they were blacklisted from many, many US radio-stations; there were public burnings of their CDs; they received death-threats etc. And they wouldn't apologise for what they said. It's a very powerful song.

You're probably not old enough to remember the late John Lennon saying on a US TV channel, that the Beatles were bigger and more successful than God....

He got pretty much the same reaction - especially in the bible belt states!

DornochCaley · January 30, 2010

Was listening to Paolo Nutini - These Streets but now listening to..

Oasis - I hope, I think, I know....One of their best but least known songs.

Was it not Jesus who JL claimed the Beatles were bigger than?

DornochCaley · January 30, 2010

Now listening to The Boss - Where The Bands Are

You're right!

I knew it was one of these two.....

Jimmy Cliff on Jools Holland, singing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGeCeK85sUg. Outstanding. If this doesn't move you, nothing will.

You got the love-Florence and the Machine

+DoofersDad · January 31, 2010

I'm listening to the wife shouting "isn't it time you got off that computer and washed the dishes?"

Glen Mhor · January 31, 2010

Bridge of Sighs - Robin Trower.

Ronaldo · February 1, 2010

I just put a live version of "Too Rolling Stoned" on the old ipod last night, what a belter!

Paolo Nutini's version of Time To Pretend by MGMT.

Wanted to edit this cos the YouTube link is broken (deleted due to 'terms of use violation') but there's not an option to edit days later (?) so I'll just have to post another active link, and say again:

The best cover of any song by anyone, ever:

Paolo Nutini's version of Time To Pretend by MGMT.

Perfection.

I think its a great song when MGMT sing it, but even better when Paolo does.

Im listening to Christy Moore - Viva Le Quita Brigada.
