What was the last... `Tune` that you played ?
I've done nothing but bitch about my crappy internet connection the last few days. I am missing World of Warcraft because of it. So I have been listening to this on youtube to get me over my withdrawals.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZy9zi...
It's a lovely piece of music, despite coming from a video game.
Very nice Maureen. Sophie and I both listen to game soundtracks. There are some very good examples around.
Listening to Show Time - Ry Cooder.
Listening to Dusty in Memphis. What a voice.
Marianne Faithful - Broken English
The Ballad of Lucy Jordan. I'm bawling. *sob*

Lady Gaga - You and ISo glad my dog doesn't judge me when I try to sing along with this. Dogs are lovely like that, they don't care if you sing out of tune.
Listening to The Hoople by Mott the Hoople this morning. Roll Away the Stone was a great single.
Listened to an album last night just recorded by someone I know. Blues style, some guitar instrumentals, some vocal. I was totally blown away by the guitar, although his voice isn't anything special. His name is j j Manning. You heard it here first!

Tell him I'm listening to Descipline by King Crimson now.
He's just gone back to school. He had King Crimson on again last night.
I'm listening to a compilation album called Africal Blues at the moment. Current track is called Mounaissa by Rokia Traore.
OoooLink??? Or, you know, copy for Patti?
Consider it done
I'll just bring the hard disks down to Barry, will I?
Led Zeppelin IV. 'Nuff said.
I'll just bring the hard disks down to Barry, will I? Or pop them in to Biggleswade Geoff, they would be in safe hands with me.
Thanks to advice from Geoff & Vic, I listened to Queen, Roxy Music and T Rex as well as REM on my way to Darlington this morning.
Geoff (G. Robbins) wrote: "I'll just bring the hard disks down to Barry, will I?"Dave would love that, Geoff.
Which T Rex did you listen to, Janet? Dave's just ordered a bunch. Hope the drive was good. :)
Drive was fine until roadworks on the A1.TRex was one of two CDs of greatest hits that I have put onto my new gadget.
The craft has been good - I have a half finished advent set of drawers, a decorated wine box, 2 cards and a brag book.
Now I'm going to settle down & read Paw Tracks in the Moonlight.
You got a gadget???? Awesome!

You'll love that book Janet, it's wonderful. Which gadget did you go for in the end?
Sega Blue by Bassekou Kouyate and Ngoni Ba
Moved on to The Beatles Revolver.
Now listening to Sting's Mercury Falling.

I'm listening to Track 2 by Unkown Artist its very good I'm having a wee rave all by myself in my unposh normal computer chair
Oh! I've got a few of their albums, Jud! Good aren't they?
I asked the I.T. director to sign off a purchase order for one of those chairs this afternoon. He was quite rude so I have no-voted him and put him on ignore!

there's no actual purpose for it then? except to make petty revenge on people who disagree with your personal opinions?
I do it to bug Simon. I'm his no troll.
Listening to Tir Na Nog - Strong in the Sun and Tear and a SmileIt's lovely. Do try to find a sample if you've not heard of them.
They're Irish. They do a gorgeous cover of Free Ride by Nick Drake.
was tir na nog a tv programme... it sounds familiar...
Just listened to a track from the Lion King, I do love the instrumental and sing along songs from that movie. Now I'm listening to Ibiza Mix which is possibly thee best happy bouncy summer tunes in thee world!
Jud (Krisztof) wrote: "was tir na nog a tv programme... it sounds familiar..."Dave sez not as far as he knows. Lol
Tír na nÓg is the fabled island off the west coast of Ireland "The land of perpetual youth" I've maybe come across it at some point or other in a book on online or something. Did an essay at uni where I ended up reading about Irish legends as it was about burial practices and I got intrigued about the "bean sí" or banshee as the rest of you will know it as.
