I'm currently listening to the following way too much:
Alabama 3 - Mansion on the Hill
Iron and Wine - Passing Afternoon
Gin Blossoms - 29

Mostly as I am building a background reception playlist. I fully await Monty identifying the horrendous error of my ways.

Alt - watching Madrid v Barca, natch.

Iron and Wine are fucking superb
have you heard the new album?

Nope, I've only got Endless Numbered Days and A Tired Symphony
I shall spotify it RIGHT up later.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 17:00, Reply)

I know Endless Numbered Days best
and the newer stuff is different. More instruments, more rocky, more swearing. Still great.

basically, we're just making a playlist of all our favourite slower songs
that are utterly unsuitable for first dances ... "grounds for divorce" was first on the list ;)

nice
how about "used to love her"
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 17:04, Reply)

could be.
"always a woman" has got to be worth a shout, except, y'know, Billy Joel. Billy Joel.

there's a song called "oh, the divorces" by someone I can't remember the name of
it's what came on the radio as I was filling in my divorce paperwork
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 17:06, Reply)

haha.
I've mentioned this before, and I swear it was an accident and I only realised later, but when I walked out on my ex, I'd left "the sacred art of leaving" by Billy Franks queued up in her car CD player. Bad, bad badger.

found that song - Tracey Thorne www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aGcocZgjkg

Ah, already got some Tracey Thorne in there
well, Massive Attack, Protection - but same difference. No duplication of artist allowed.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 17:10, Reply)

Ah, Tracey Thorne
Is there any better example of "she must be talented, look at the face"? Even KT Tunstall would be pushed to match that

Channel?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 16:59, Reply)

ITV I presume
so I'll have to fanny through to ITV London somewhere in the 850s no doubt. Although, actually, there's no English team invovled so STV might actually fucking show it for once.

Oh
Between that and the reference to flights earlier I thought you might be on the Costa Del Sol or something. Edinburgh's supposed to be nice though. Busy tomorrow?

Yeah, it's lovely.
Why, are you taking me out for dinner?
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 17:12, Reply)

Eh, why not
I need friends on this board by hook or by crook. Or bribery. Or bumming.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 17:14, Reply)

always the bumming.
Anyway, laters. Let's hope for a good game tonight rather than Jose parking his hideously expensive white bus, eh?
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 17:16, Reply)

Oh god, yes
I personally hope for a repeat of the first El Clasico of the season, to be bettered only by Barca's hilarious dismemberment of United in the final.

Have a good evening in the sun mate

She said so, with absolutely no trace of sarcasm.

Have a word.

Her taste is questionable at best
If she ever visits me in East Anglia again I'll send her up the road to harass you while you're DJing.

She's married to a paedo Santa. That's what I heard.

I say 'heard', I mean 'made up and spread around the internet'

Making things up and spreading them around the internet
is the best way to establish provable facts.

I imagine her face would be akin to that look of someone who's smelt a nasty poo.
