In the process of setting up a home media center, I am still rummaging and consolidating my media collection. Came across this buried in its midst (link deleted by the taste police) Listen to this at your peril. ...so, Mr 'Bad, you've had the same deficient taste for some time. As for earworms, something a little more listenable. An ex-colleague recommended (and lent me) a Lucinda Williams CD. This is now stuck in my head..... ...and whilst I'm not the greatest fan of Country (-Rock), the rest of the album is quite (Car Wheels on a Gravel Road) listenable as well.

Ear worm? dont think so, I'd forgotten the start before I got to the end.
This does however bring us to the "In Car Music Game" that I, and I'm sure many other people play. Basically you learn a riff, base line, drum sequence (all to played ont he steering wheel) or lyrics, to absolute perfection by listening to the song repeatedly till you have it as good as it can get.
Lats weeks effort down to wales and back was
Left hand base line, right hand drums, and vocals mastered in 70 miles
PS, for a bonus, When stopped half way up the leading edge of a sped bump, I could even get the front of the Volvo bouncing up and down in perfect time to the beat (in drive and using the brake)

Bit unfair to dismiss Car Wheels as a mere 'earworm'. LW is a real communicator, and that album would easily make my list of favourites from the last 20 years. Her recent Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone is another triumph, the damaged voice more poignant than ever and the bare-bones guitar-bass-drums instrumentation utterly compelling.

No, more at Sven's airy dismissal of the whole thing.

No, more at Sven's airy dismissal of the whole thing. Ok just be fair, I listened to it again. I'll not wave an airy dismissal at it, I'll slate it whole heartedly. Its is tuneless soporific noise, real communicator? broken voice? she puts about as much feeling thought and communication into it as I do peeling spuds.

Mmm, I'm with El Nogbado on this one, I'm sure I've heard it in an elevator somewhere.

...I'm sure I've heard it in an elevator somewhere. Really? Not sure I can recall anything I've heard in one of those, ever. Still, I'll remove it from my Favourite Albums list at once. * * (No, I won't.)

Holy thread revival time:
Was on in barbers when I had a haircut on Monday. Got it out of my head by Thursday only for it to come on BBC Northampton on Friday while we were waiting for our C/Ex to do his regular slot.

Phil Oakey minus his asymmetric haircut - just not right somehow...

The stage was cleared of all kit by the roadies. A rack of apple Imacs was wheeled on, a couple of big speakers, and they did the gig. Stunning
