i agree mate; point taken

Is that it? You get to be a politician with that? Still, I suppose it's only Sunderland. Barely need GSCEs to govern that place. Neil Kinnock only had a Pass degree

not for that unit she didn't

Tempora mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis

I proofread Bridget's dissertation for her degree, which was in history at Oxford; unbelievable she was on Skunkers

Manc Mag's contributions to this thread are some of the most excruciatingly terrible things I've ever seen on here

Have you listened to much Neko Case, Meenz? Not proper country like but her voice is brilliant. Any relation to Peter Case? He's coming to The cluny soon

i thought register was used to indicate the choice of vocabulary & pitch to indicate the tone

My favourite current female singer is Lavinia Blackwall from Trembling Bells

She's no Sandy Denny or Diamanda Gallas I'm not gonna embarrass meself but i'll admit i have no idea who those ladies are (may have to give them a check out ) I'n all honesty (and this may be showing my youth here) but most of what i'd consider decent female vocalists/fronts persons faded out in the 90's - skin from skunk anansie or catatonia, hell even early gwen stefani in now doubt. Birds with a bit of presence and personality as well as the vocals to go with it. But my favourite artist of all time is kate bush, so what the hell do i know xD Sandy Denny (RIP) was a folk singer; Diamanda Galas is an opera singer - just two contrasting female singers I like

is that a dance act? Why aren't you like this all the time? we're all the sum of our parts i suppose..... "wouldn't it be great if it was like this all the time?" one of Van The Man's finest moments....

The last act I saw live who have a female singer were Beauty Pageant, supporting Davey Henderson at the Star & Shadow. I liked them tremendously; reminded me of NYC No Wave stuff like Teenage Jesus with Lydia Lunch or Essential Logic. Have a listen.... http://soundcloud.com/beauty-pageant

do you mean "pitch" rather than "register?"

it says neil curtis on the initial post, but neil ashton on the link; strange....

don't take this the wrong way mate, but i'm really not interested in what you think.

Bland, dull AOR power ballads warbled by someone from Eastenders, or so it appears. Would turn it off but golf is even fucking worse

Fucking wonderful city Bilbao; not just football but the Guggenheim Museum & Casco Viejo districts; wonderful vibe, brilliant people. In fact, whole of Basque Country (Euskal Herria) is a brilliant place. hope Athletic Club win europa league & also fervently hope Newcastle United are invited to be opening guests at the new ground in 2014

no, i never drink pre match intend to do Bodega then Newcastle Arms on Mlonday

Anyone watching Athletic Club tonight? Aupa Euskal Herria

i've not seen him in Bodega in possibly 4 seasons, though i only attend 50% of home games & go for a pint after 50% of those. not often in the Newton now; too much like a low rent Osborne Road or pretend 3 Mile. For me it's either Benton Ale House or Tynemouth (Lodge, Stuffed Dog, Cumberland or Barca) for my Saturday night out I might be in the Bodega tonight, not sure, but I am in Tynemouth and the Fish Quay fairly often these days, in fact I might be watching the match tomorrow in one of the pubs in that area i'll be in Bodega post match Monday, but watching tomorrow's game via the net

incidentally ALS editor McFadden's old man is a former SWP full time worker who now works for an Anti Racism organisation on Merseyside

that thread makes me want to vomit; fucking morons
