dh got me a copy of the Divine Comedy's new album for my birthday..really enjoying it

Its a bit like Goldfrapp, P.Head, Shea Segar.......... she has a really unique pretty voice, also a bit like the sundays, chill out haunting sweet pop. Man.

Anyone got the Franz Ferdinand or Scissor Sisters new albums...think I'll like them but not 100% sure. Must add Talkie Walkie to the list, glad that Air are back on form.
Bundle, this is probably very much a granny/egg suggestion, but did you hear the Ken Bruce mini-session with Neil Hannon? V good.

suzywong · 01/04/2004 13:55

for the love of god tell us you don't mean Divine Comedy FF

Janstar · 01/04/2004 13:55

Today I listened to:

On The Border by The Eagles
and
Toto's Greatest Hits.

I bet I sound like an old granny to you lot.

Now have Virgin on the radio.

forestfly · 01/04/2004 13:55

momof2 · 01/04/2004 14:01

I'm listening to Black eyed peas - which is brilliant, also Sugababes and Liberty X.
Does anyone have the new Outcast album - is there one yet? Is it any good?

forestfly · 01/04/2004 14:02

He's not that bad look

I usually wake up with songs from Balamory in my head. Makes you suicidal.

Yeah, what's wrong with Neil, Suzy? Fab baritone voice, clever and witty. I think he's cute

lou33 · 01/04/2004 14:05

I have a fair few tracks from N.E.R.D, and they are all good. Maroon 5 album I like too.

bundle if you are talking about the Boss, I wouldn't be embarrassed about that.

However, if you are talking Forsyth...
