| Jeff, I didn't know you liked The The - Dirt Cheap CDs in Pitt Street (near the mall) have all their albums, nicely repackaged, for $10 each. And I still listen to the Gil Scott Heron you burnt me - niiice. Fatboymike, you said 'obviously 'to FatBoySlim - are you from Brighton? I am ... left there 16 years ago for Oz. But Bjork? I think it's no accident that her name sounds like my reaction to her music. My 15yo boy is into Dave Mathews Band - know anywhere I can get Busted Stuff for him? It's fifty bastard dollars here in Sydney, on import only. I've been thinking about 10 CDs I'd have on a desert island (yep, that old chestnut) but will omit L42 as too obvious: Sex Pistols (Never Mind The Bollocks); Paul Weller (Paul Weller); Dire Straits (Making Movies); Me'Shell (Peace Beyond Passion); ABC (Lexicon of Love); Wear It's 'At (Rubettes); REM (Automatic For The People); Annie Lennox (Medusa); Fashion (Fabrique); Go West (Dancing On The Couch). This list will change tomorrow, probably with a touch of Cat Stevens, Queen, Deacon Blue or Japan. Guys, you've submitted some fab lists and I've enjoyed looking through them. I loved yours, Win. Loz, have you done yours this time around? Cheers ~ Mike (Sydney City Milkman) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I don't agree that Level 42's music wouldn't translate well to unplugged versions--talented musicians can make any kind of music translate, and our lads have both the talent and lots of tunes that would be great for it. But, if the band were granting fans' requests, I'd much rather ask them to do a set-list of our choosing (like they did in 2001) than an acoustic set of the hits. To me, those shows were the best I could possibly ask for, and my dying wish would be to have one more tour in which the true believers get to pick the songs! (And please don't suggest an acoustic set of songs chosen by fans--if we were lucky enough to hear those songs live again, I'd want to hear them right!) Cheers - Don Z. | ||
