Are you braving Coachella?

As much as I'd love to see Massive Attack, my days of mucking about in the dirt and spending hours trying to get home are over! I now require a cocktail server and a quick escape (preferably on the band's tour bus).

JEALOUS!

That looks ridiculously good (though maybe not B&S) - would love to go one day - as mentioned by someone earlier - I think that hard-fi are playing - i went through the list a few weeks back and had hit 20 bands i wanted to see by the time i got to the letter J.

[QUOTE=BigDavyG]I spend most of the day listening to Radio 1.
On my phone I have 400 mp3's including stuff from from The Jam, Public Enemy, NWA, William Orbit, Beth Orton, The Neptunes, Moby, David Holmes, St Etienne, Kosheen, A-Ha, Blur, The Clash, KLF, New Order, Muse, Madness, The Prodigy, blah, blah, blah. So quite a diverse mix there.

...errr 'A-Ha'...Was that a typo ???!!???! :scared:

we got backstage after the last Weller gig in LA and met the man himself.. I got talking to a really nice bunch of guys for about an hour, and my hubby came over and asked where they were playing.. turned out it was Madness and I had no clue..

I never realised Madness were still going. Used to love em back in the day.

Lucky Sod!

I had tickets for a Paul Weller show in Detroit a while back, but it got cancelled. I am off to see Oasis in Cincinnati next week though, should be a good show.

[QUOTE=elaineKB] Wtf is wrong with A-Ha - Touchy is a pop classic, Take on Me, Stay on These Roads, Crying in the rain - quality stuff.

You can't beat a bit of 80's pop.

[QUOTE=BigDavyG] Holy shit! I was worried that you and I had such similar musical taste (and Celsius too!!!) but with your defense of A-Ha you've put my mind to rest!!!

If you're looking for the best, most interesting way to get legal music for next to nothing ($1.49 per CD) check out LaLa.com. It's a place where you can trade your unwanted CDs with others for a minimal price (20% of which actually goes to the artist, even though it's really just a used-CD store). You list all the CDs you have and all the CDs you want. The system tells you if other people want your CDs. If they do, you choose to send them (in prepaid envelopes) or keep them. The more CDs you send, the more CDs you will receive from your wanted list.

The site is in private beta right now, but if you google "lala usa today private beta" you'll find a link in a USA Today journalist's blog to sign up before the July site launch date.

I've been a member for only three days and have so far exchanged 5 utterly crappy CDs that I never want to hear again for 8 CDs I was prepared to pay full price for... and all for a total cost of $11.92 including postage. Even YourMusic.com, my previous source of $5.99 CDs can't beat that for price!

[QUOTE=dbj1000] Wtf do you all have against a-ha you philistines
You can't beat mixing a bit of a-ha into some nwa

Seriously, though - thanks for the lala link - i'm checking it out now, though unfortunately i have very few cd's out here - i left most of mine in blighty after converting them to mp3 - still it seems like the site might come in handy. Nice one.

Bob

shame it needs an invite to get into...and like you, I left most of my cd's back in blighty too.

OMG
I never knew Madness were still around and playing....I listen to their cd in my car all the time. Just shows how the great bands stand the test of time.
