LISTEN TO IT. Tis fab.

Under the Milky way...what a great song. One the soundtrack of Donnie Darko..a great film.

Ah, heaven.

Sadly notyummy I am old enough to be remembering it from when it was released as a single...I think MArk Radcliffe used to play it on his 'out on blue 6 show.

Speaking of which- Has anyone read that book?
(thinking UQD, etc)

Oh,I remember when it was a single as well!

My bf at the time had it on a mix tape that another girl had sent to him, along with a letter to say she fancied him. To prove his lurve for me, he gave me that mix tape It was very good, also had some Cult and Waterboys Whole of the Moon, IRRC.

Ah...mix tapes.
A whole generation, and the rest of youth to come will not know their significance in the lives of love-lorn youth!!

I've just spent a fortune on iTunes thanks to this thread

My most played album, although there are songs I like more at any given time, few which I love so consistently!

La Ritournelle by Beardy weirdy french bloke Sebastien Tellier.

Dry the Rain by the Beta band (also their 'She's the one' which is mine and Dh's song)

The First Time Ever I saw your Face by Roberta Flack.

couldn't resist linking to La Ritournelle it is just such an amazing tune and the longest intro ever...

Billy Bragg - Sexuality.
Marvelous song everytime. Does not get enough airtime. In fact probably doesnt get any!
