Downloading legally or legally is no comparison to having the case, a petition to ban downloading?

[SMEE]

Your a bit of a rock Chic eh Maimie

[tm4tj]

I have been unabe to buy any as Ian and Maimie have bought all the albums.

[starchief]

New in 2008, well the best was The Organ (even though they split up and it was just a collection of tracks that were never released before) - very recommended if you're a fan of Echo & the Bunnymen, Cult, Joy Division and all that jangly new wave/post-punk stuff but with an all-girl band.

On a recommendation I also bought School of Seven Bells, Howling Bells and Chairlift. They're all a bit similar to The Organ but not quite as good. Need to listen a bit more to Howling Bells mind you.
