Guest Patrokles Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I am off very early tomorrow morning for a couple of weeks. I will leave you with some (more than some, in all fairness) musical gems from the youtube vault. I can't be arsed to do anything more than copy/paste the links from the playlist I compiled (with some exceptions). So randomly click and see what you get, I guess. Personal recommendations are bolded. If you have to watch one and no others, make sure it's the COMATEENS: http://youtube.com/watch?v=iQt1vKJBbrk Oh, and, by the way, this is one of the greatest songs of its genre EVER: http://youtube.com/watch?v=aqDvAaAZ5J0 And so was this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=1pYRTApUUX8 And this is one of the best songs out of Scandinavia, ever: http://youtube.com/watch?v=cAuHyrLovZA This is too. it's a MUST-WATCH: http://youtube.com/watch?v=q9fffXnSYdo Marissa Nadler is flat-out the best, and this is a neat Cohen cover: http://youtube.com/watch?v=s9isApF3Y7w On the subject of covers, this is the greatest ever: One of the best live bands ever, but unfortunately because Adrian Borland didn't look very attractive, they didn't get anywhere much: (great) (one of NZ's finest) http://youtube.com/watch?v=M3ULozS5BJw (another of NZ's finest) (AND ANOTHER) http://youtube.com/watch?v=QDB8qDySAOw (scotland's finest band) (scotland's second finest) http://youtube.com/watch?v=BYLWK59viqY http://youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MsnU2Z8C4 http://youtube.com/watch?v=ozA-JU3OnJE http://youtube.com/watch?v=9cWGw39_HYg http://youtube.com/watch?v=ePzLD1xvXGc http://youtube.com/watch?v=y27koDPzy_g http://youtube.com/watch?v=mtQU0r_RXtc http://youtube.com/watch?v=xNaeeyE-RYk http://youtube.com/watch?v=CyzsBqk8u1w http://youtube.com/watch?v=qo0iW0B0lI4 http://youtube.com/watch?v=ItPzkOwGc1I http://youtube.com/watch?v=m-W-1nw3u7g http://youtube.com/watch?v=INMrHVkVzGo http://youtube.com/watch?v=TTqjgPguqpU http://youtube.com/watch?v=8uNbvTo8UgI http://youtube.com/watch?v=LEWkNoKxTUg http://youtube.com/watch?v=KnFyAXFv5gs http://youtube.com/watch?v=FJYBGzyKR1M http://youtube.com/watch?v=BKuTS5lojLc http://youtube.com/watch?v=SD4bkCtvwwQ http://youtube.com/watch?v=rjDeUBULz9k http://youtube.com/watch?v=vBPgrcGyQmQ http://youtube.com/watch?v=PvZWqfpdd78 http://youtube.com/watch?v=V9ihJY_46eQ http://youtube.com/watch?v=NgCX2PEKF5c http://youtube.com/watch?v=kgoqy4pzTRE http://youtube.com/watch?v=bhEg8tM3W-0 http://youtube.com/watch?v=V43EOIDy--s http://youtube.com/watch?v=pWmPIPHgluQ http://youtube.com/watch?v=kBaLrFYNjQU http://youtube.com/watch?v=2pmr0_Z7s3M http://youtube.com/watch?v=dqHRCRWoUJw http://youtube.com/watch?v=xeCG_fT_ZTs http://youtube.com/watch?v=1em01oeRL2w http://youtube.com/watch?v=cnzKGQJ-DpI http://youtube.com/watch?v=zlyHl-kbKXY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be pretty enjoyable if I don't get EXPLODED BY TERRORISTS. N-O unfortunately just frustrates me now. I can't read a thread without wanting to say something horrible in response.

Guest Patrokles Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Where you going? 183006[/snapback] East coast, 9 days in Noo Joisey (not my ideal destination in terms of place, but it's where my friend is), then a few days in the city. It'll just be nice to get out of the house for a bit to be honest. Plus my friend is female. and attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I've heard of Orange Juice like, wasn't Edwyn Collins in them? I remember 'Rip it Up'. Might check them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might check them out. 183020[/snapback] Thats the boys, fantastic band. Their first few singles were absolutely superb. Falling and Laughing, Blue Boy, Simply thrilled honey, Felicity. They were brilliant live, Edwyn was a great front man, and hilariously funny I had a bit too much man love for Edwyn truth be told. The later single 'What Presence' is an absolute belter aswell.
