dave37 - the music industry takes a different view and in the US is taking an aggressive approach to Kazaa subscribers. Thousands of writs have been issued and in one case a 12 year old girl was fined something like $3000!!

since when was kazaa illegal?
correct me if I'm wrong but

I thought it is fine, as it is peer to peer which is fine.

Meg,

I don't agree either, but it's simply too easy. Anyway, I'm not scared, let 'em try and get me !!

My kids use Kaza...but I don't approve...look out or the thread police will get you and you will join dhedra and energyi in the "sin bin".



I like the whole Zooropa album...nice attack on the shallowness of modernity, especially images, consumerism, and modern relationships- it's a jungle out there.

Fred Wedlock " The Oldest Swinger In Town"

simply because the last line is

" When it takes you all night to do what you used to do all night, youre the oldest swinger in town.

Meg,

I don't know the wanderer but am searching for it now. Johnny Cash and U2 are a marriage made in heaven!

Do you subscribe to an illegal file sharing service? I'm with Kazaa. Almost every song I have ever loved is instantly available and I have dowloaded nearly all of them now. After a few glasses of wine I'm in tears listening to them every friday.

It's difficult to grasp how much times have changed in our lives and how many more changes we can expect in the future......

I am trying to locate another cover - Paranoid (Black Sabbath) by Gus Black - heard it on a Spanish TV show in Barcelona last week. It sounded fantastic but so far a search on Kazaa has turned up nothing which is unusual. Anyone know it?

Two brilliant covers of two brilliant songs are:

One (U2) by Johnny Cash
Mad World (Tears for Fears) by Gary Jules on soundtrack to Donny Darko

Anything played backwards .... (except Leonard Cohen)

[jeroo] 28/11/2003 17:18

I like dark lyrics - Happy ones make me want to barf. Mind you, I draw the line at Leonard Cohen. Listening to him makes me want to slash my wrists

[megryan] 28/11/2003 15:53

1983 a merman I should be

Hendrix

Fantastic seagull sounds with his guitar...very atmospheric electric jazz/blues/rock..makes you float out of here.

Neo - IMO Midnight Blue is better than you say but by no means Jeff Lynne's greatest ballad. If you're interested in classic ELO power ballads, may I recommend the following:

"Big Wheels" - my absolute fave. Play it a few times, and if you like it try these ones too....

"Summer and Lightning" - really atmospheric

"Steppin' Out" - a real sad number

All from "Out of the Blue", ELO's classic 1977 album, chock-full of great pop songs....

Thanks Hyder, I'll have a search on the net and let you know. I'd be interested in listening to them.

hallow, I'll search again.

To the floor:

Best 'doing it' song: Joan Armatrading - I Am Not In Love

The Renaissance of the Anderson Music Monthly: Lynyrd Skynyrd FREE BIRD(LIVE) ...I'll listen to it just one more time before I go out...(said 3 hours ago)..

[hallow] 28/11/2003 14:15

Neo

The only site I've come across Red House-Johnny Winter is on Kazaa but you have to keep trying because it doesn't always come up.

[hyder] 28/11/2003 12:30

Neo if you have any difficulties getting them I could of course loan you a couple of copies via email.

Lou Reed - Perfect Day

[neo anderson] 28/11/2003 12:17

Hyder, we're obviously listening to different versions. Your version, being of the early 70's is probably far more Lenyrd Skinner-esque(sp?), my version is later, I estimate somewhere in the 1990's. I'll have a look for your version and get back to you (same with Stormy Monday).

hallow, I find that a song becomes great after a certain amount of repetition. I'll give Midnight Blue a couple more whirls incase I missed something.

Regarding Red House by Johnny Winter, I can't find this. Red House features Jimmy Hendrix and Bertignac but not Johnny Winter. I did find an 'unknown' version of Red House that's very old style Rythm and Blues, is this the one that you mean?


And A Memory: The reason that I like The Sound of Silence so much is an adventure I had when I was only 16 years old. I went to see a French girl called Sabine in the south of France. I remember driving in her car with Simon and Garfunkle blaring, on our way to Pau to walk in the Pyrenees and with my thoughts turned to love, a love which never came to fruition...what's a gawky slightly bucktoothed(now fixed) youngster to do? ☺ Great days.
