Happy Face

2011 Census results make interesting reading.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20677321

Marvellous choice. Shamelessly Exciting by Jason Forrest would also be a shout for best Mash-up album of The Nowts. Think 2ManyDJs would take the prize just on breaking through most.

2011

Please can I join your club, oh please let me. I suppose if they have to allow blacks in the BNP though. Perhaps they could legislate to allow under 5s into the Beano club... http://www.beano.com/terms-conditions Disgraceful state of affairs when your bairn can't get a Gnasher badge. Ageist.

Me too. Grimes, Neil young, Jessie Ware the day.

Jol is paid more for taking a Shit than Pardew gets a week. Cloud cuckoo land stuff.

Talking of country music.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJjeWDvh6J0

I was filling boxes with books, so just catching glimpses out of the corner of my eye and not in a position to do a post mortem really, but no surprise that CT is saying the opposite of everyone else.

http://www.metacritic.com/feature/top-ten-lists-best-albums-of-2012 Tame Impala tops 6 lists so far. But Frank Ocean tops 5...and comes second in 7.

I once put some cling film over a toilet seat in McDonalds which led to the suicides of 13 children so I know the inherent danger in pranks. Ashton kutcher, Jeremy Beadle (if he wasn't dead) and I should face the death penalty.

There's a small time blather thread temember.

Best - Beastie Boys, James Brown, Radiohead, Bob Dylan, Metallica, Battles, Michael Buble, Joanna Newsom. Worst - Red hot chili peppers, Bob Dylan.

As much as I liked the Frog Chorus at the time, looking back, I'm quite fond of The Feelies....

Anyone telling someone else what shouldn't be on their list, have a word tbh If you first got laid in the 90s and an album was playing at the time your view of that album might be different to others. That goes for many other situations.....first time high, first time dumped etc. We associate music with moments personal to us...that's what the beauty of it is. Our tastes age with us. If I want to know the critically acclaimed albums you see in EVERY end of decade list I can go to any number of websites. The interesting part of this thread though is to find out about other posters on toontastic.

I was 1 to 10. I was bound to enjoy simple things. Not sure of CTs excuse That said, I still do like them all. Cannot discount songs that were massive to me as a 5 year old just cos they have a bad rep and the cool folk that only ever listened to underground stuff are full of contempt for children and their simple pleasures.

'Fancy' is canny at this time of year. Just a load of materialistic items to buy or be bought.

There you go 2j

It won't be here for a while. They only opened it up for pre-orders. Expected to be 4 weeks until it arrives. Hope it recognises December...unlike the ones people have got so far.

I'm on me touch pad so cannot be arsed. Will do at some point like.

See the op. I try to keep it updated with anything anyone recommends in here.

An hour into Twilight - breaking dawn part 1. Unremittingly shit so far. They got married and fucked. And that is everything that has happened. The film could have started here and everything that has happened would be implied anyway. Watched Bronson last night. Nicolas Winding Refn directs. He's the bloke who did the Pusher series before this and has since done Drive. I thought It was brilliant...as Refn tends to be it seems. Tom Hardy is unbelievably good. Not as good as Chopper, which its along the same lines as, but not much is.

Aye, he must be a reet divvy, always picking up the wrong guitar Anyone got that new guitar hero that uses a proper guitar? Any good?

For me the 80s was Stevie Wonder - I just called to say I love you Queen - a kind of magic Michael Jackson - Thriller and Bad Adam and the Ants - Stand and Deliver Black Box - Ride on Time Paul McCartney - We all stand together Chris Deburgh - The Lady in Red Angry Anderson - Suddenly

I was at that gig. Sat in the balcony with the other half who was miserable as sin. More a Take That kinda girl. Bless her for making the effort though. Saw them at Northumbria uni when they were touring Mirrored as well. That was excellent...I was slightly more inebriated for that and in like minded company though.
