Noted.
I read in the paper the other day that more people know Vincent van Gogh because he got rid of his ear, than because of his work. :nod: I think it is a shame - I like the vibrant colours in his (later) work.
As for the Tom Petty song, I myself would not consider that one of his best.
4/10
Tom Petty made me think of Refugee and thus Prayer of the Refugee - Rise Against
I could blame the global warming or hungry children in Africa on this song, of course, but I will simply say it was not my cup of tea exactly: 2/10!Quote:

**shiver** I've always disliked this song. I know he was dying at the time, and it's supposed to be all sad and meaningful, but it just makes me feel uncomfortable. 2/10
This, on the other hand, has no meaning...
How could he have been wasted on those rubbish carry on films. 8/10Quote:

Along a similar vein, but a bit folkier:

That guy looks likes Prince and Lenny Kravitz's b*stard lovechild, not sure if that's good or bad. The dancing was sufficiently camp to make me like it, song was kinda catchy too. 7/10

I really like that :)

I bought a CD of Jeff Buckley today, thinking this song was on it. Turned out, it wasn't :brickwall. So I'll still have to relay on youtube for this one :)
cover Nina Simone
I feel an obligation to punish those who insist on propagating drivel across the Internet. Therefore, the following is well deserved in my opinion.

Yes that's it. A few lollies...:)Quote:

All the musical quality of a bowel movement, I'm afraid: it gets 1/10 for having noise, if nothing else.

Here's a great combination: Apocalyptica AND Sandra Nasic (Guano Apes) :hurray:
I liked the beginning, but it seemed too familiar afterwards. 4/10Quote:

I'll go for 10/10 too. After remembering the album just now, I've been listening again to it on Youtube. It's very good. I'll have to buy it again.Quote:

Now, I love this.

I last heard this one when I was sitting outside a cafe in Shanghai and it was being played over the sound system. I couldn't hear it properly because of the traffic but I wasn't complaining too much.

Eliza Doolittle... I read about her and wanted to check her out :) You were just ahead of me ;) It is a happy little diddy - it definitely improves with the guy singing in it. There should be some more of that...

I really like the BBC radio lounge - live music to check out how artists really sing :D

Never heard of Tom Waits, but if Will Ferrell (?) is anything like him I'm very happy to leave it like that. Now Mulan is definitely a girl worth fighting for.Quote:
