they fuck you up, your mum and dad
i think i can blame my parents for most of the things i hide on my ipod that would make people like monty leave the pub immediately if they ever flicked through it.

secret music shame: my first ever gig was a steps concert. i got taken by a friend. she also bought me a massive wavy sparkly wand thing and it died the minute they came on stage so i was basically just waving around a big stick.

edit - we just bought tickets for bon jovi 2011 at hard rock calling, does that count???

i am not sure whether you are being ironic or not!

( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 28 Oct 2010, 15:26, Reply)

I wouldn't listen to them all the time
but they're ok.

Having said that I have a weakness for Status Quo too...

Nowt wrong the The Quo
Dire Straits have some excellent songs (Private Investigations and Heavy Fuel are my favourites)

I agree
There's a 2 record LP of 12 Gold Bars in the charity shop I volunteer in that I've got my eye on...

nice
that's a cracking album

Yeah
they have some good stuff in there. I keep on buying LPs.

Now I've just got to get a record player...
(Zapiola zip-zap-zop, Thu 28 Oct 2010, 15:36, Reply)

I'm still waiting for Mrs V's dad to give me his old record player
and his collection of vinyl from the 70s.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 28 Oct 2010, 15:37, Reply)

My parents
have an old stand alone record player from the 20s, and a load of old vinyl - think the earliest on is a blues record from about 1924. Problem is the needles on that are teh wrong kind for newer (as in about post 1945) records, apparently. So you're kind of limited in teh repetoire of what can be played.

Telegraph Road.

Dire Straits and Jethro Tull
With some Joe Cocker and Chris Rea thrown in for good measure.

Jethro Tull are awesome
their first album is fucking brilliant

Champion the Wonder Horse by Frankie Laine
And Norwegian Wood by the Beatles were for a long time the only two records allowed to be played in our house.

The New Seekers
Beat that.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 28 Oct 2010, 15:36, Reply)

ELO and Queen
Some Classical too, so it balances out a little.

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 28 Oct 2010, 15:44, Reply)

It was cancelled the first time
As at the previous gig the lead singer had stagedived into the crowd without actually checking how many people were in the crowd. If it's about 50, the end result tends to be you hitting a concrete floor from about 8 feet up, and he broke his shoulder.

The lead singer was called Jizzy Pearl, curiously.

i went to live earth a couple of years ago
and the organisers got it wrong and had way too much time left over. the foo fighters played for about an hour as a result.

they were good, but there's bands i'd much much rather see.

I read that as "I went to live on earth a few years ago"
and I lolled

in spite of what EVERYONE ELSE said.
