The best track is one of the bonus tracks on the CD, but it hasn't been uploaded to youtube and I'm wary of doing it myself and incurring the wrath of the copyrights gods.

[TheFoe]

I'd love to go but for some reason the playlist just shows the normal Youtube page. Might be my dodgy laptop though.

[theDuke]

KJS wrote: "Duke your link is for YouTube home page."

Hmmm..that's weird. I've C&P'd the playlist link several times..but it keeps going to the homepage for some reason. I'll see if can find a roundabout way of fixing it.

Edit: Have fixed it. Mibbe YT have been fiddling with things again.

[TheFoe]

Hee hee, now we're just stuck with Nick Cave, horror of horrors!

Aw ffs! I wish to hades YT techies would just leave things alone! Tis odd...but i can get the whole playlist..but when i C&P the link to here...it goes to something else.......i dunno how to fix that.

Edit: Right..i scrapped the original playlist and made a new one..and it seems to be working as it should now. Could somebody confirm that please, thanks.

If anybody gets anything other than the playlist...then you'll just have to listen to each song individually..cos i haven't got a scooby how else to sort it out!

[KJS]

Thank you Duke, that one is correct.

Good evening folks. And that wraps up round one, so which cats got the cream?

Topping the bill in first place is 'Lessons Learned - Jane Getter Premonition', coming in with a score of 18, meaning our first Gold medalist is..........Nick! Well done that man. :)

Best of the rest are: Silver medal goes to Rob, for his nom 'White Sands - Still Corners', with a score of 15 points; and finally the bronze gong goes to Fishy Jim for his nomination 'Tooth And Claw - Kate Arnold', which came in with 13 points.

Hard luck to Brass Neck, who just narrowly missed out with his Mdou Moctar nomination..an album i also added to my collection.

And we have no wooden spooners this time either...jolly good show.

[Craig White]

i might be blinkered (naw!), but how is it possible to hear cave's 'white elephant' and not decide to base your life around it?

[TheFoe]

Cheers Duke, and thanks to those who voted for it. Anomalia is a pretty decent album and worth a listen if you liked 'Lessons Learned'.

To be honest Tech, I don't mind the odd Nick Cave song, but as soon as he started effing and jeffing, I hit the skip button.

Swearing in a film or on TV - OK if used well. Swearing in a book - same comment. Swearing in a 3-6 minute song that has less than a couple of hundred words? Nah, doesn't work for me.

[Craig White]

i'm a simple soul, i like swearing!

no, but, if it's in context (and not just for the sake of it) it's perfectly acceptable. best, however, if you don't have a listen to his 'stagger lee'

[theDuke]

I love Stagger Lee! :)

Welcome to my world, Tech. Better stick to noms you don't like, then you'll win. ;-)

[Craig White]

christ, it's fishy jim reeves!

you are, of course, right. i shouldn't really nominate nick cave, if his god-like genius isn't striking a chord by now.............
