That elicited no organ comments at all

That reminds me: One of our German colleagues announced that he was "going to punish his organ" the other day when leaving. Me and the other English chap in the office both near pissed ourselves.
We explained how his statement could be interpreted and he laughed like a drain. He then told the story to his wife on his mobile.

So from now on it'll be Pot Noodle and punishing my organ is a contractors night in.

You had to be there.

Hadn't immediately occurred to me but yeah, of course.

What's wrong with that?

She's a rock and roll chick, she's got a nice rack and I suspect she'd be wild in bed. I told her no thanks, but if I wasn't married

[cailin maith]

Why can't people just admit that they fancy the singer.

She is pretty, no doubt and appears to be talented.

Sometimes some bands surprise you. I remember getting dragged to see James, a band I hated but one of those bands who're transformed when live and somehow couldn't translate it into the studio.

gotta agree there. i didn't know james much and was expecting even less but saw them live in a big field some 10 or more years ago and they were apsoflippinglutely amazing.

Gotta admit, they wouldn't normally be my bag - but live they we're one of the better acts I saw at Glastonbury, only went cause someone else was into them and I'm glad I did.

But they don't need to be so patently derivative. Stone Roses were derivative, but they were also original.

They were pretty good live.
Anyway, how many bands are truly original? Very fcking few, still doesn't make them bad.

I wasn't too sure at first but when I saw them live, I just loved them... might have been the few pints of wife beater I got down me beforehand though....

Look up the Dizzy Rascal version of That's not my name from the Radio 1 Live Lounge - quite funny.

They call me black,
they call me rudeboy,
they call me Oi!,
they call me mate.

I just don't get them.

She sounds like a bad Kate Nash (who I also don't get).

There's nothing to get. They looked for an iconic singing style from the 80s (the speaky robotic scansion of the Kraftwerk era) and beat it to death until it's no more.

Well, if that chap who was on buzzcocks the other night is to be believed, she saw the 80's the first time (She claims she's 23, but looks late 30s).

Perhaps she's been waiting for it to become fashionable before releasing anything?

That aside, I quite like the catchy-ness. It seems I've never been able to put a catchy tune down as I was also a fan of Joe Dolce, when I was 6 .
