Sorry, Ogg, I was listening to the Mariners (Seattle's baseball team) lose a game.

Love the Charlie Daniels!

As for Dragonforce...my husband says a "tribute" band should name themselves Dragonfarce. LOL

Nope, dont know that one.
Currently listening to Metallica perform 'Master of Puppets' in it's entireity at the recent english Donington/Download Festival June 6th. Got it for a young friend at work who was there.
Hmm, fan from the early days but not too impressed with the live show these days.

Currently listening to 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' by the mighty 'Floyd of course. inspired by WHB's RIP Syd thread .

Never more fitting

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Welcome to the Machine is probably my favorite Floyd song. Anyone know if that had anything to do with Syd too?

Waters said that the whole album was an indirect tribute to Syd. But (in my blissfully ignorant opinion), that song is more about the young musician "selling his soul" for success.

What did you dream?
It's alright, we told you want to dream.

Not only is the big media about to make a fortune of this budding young artist, they created him. Just one person's view.

Thought it best to go through my cd collection looking for goodies to rip to mp3, to fulfill my current 'walking the dog with my mp3 player' phase.

I unearthed a rare gem I forgot I had, the debut Chris Cornell
(Soundgarden) solo album 'Euphoria Morning' from '99 and it's a goodun .

Not really music, but I'm listening to the The Goons

For an example, What Time is it Eccles

I remember an old song by The Goons about eating fresh fruit in prison...

Is this it?

The Raspberry Song

(Moriarty) Oh, oh! Let me out -- my only crime is eating
(Secombe) Don't worry -- I'll give the screws a song
The warden won't mind
(Bloodnok) No -- he's doing bird as well. Maestro!
(Moriarty) Take your partners for the ball and chain one step
One, two, three
(Bloodnok) May I have this dance warden, you can hold my ball
(Secombe) In a little prison where I'm locked in there is a most
peculiar fellow
His name is Eccles and he's is in cell nine
But his voice is soft and mellow
He keeps a fruit cart in his cell, and all the convicts knows it
He doesn't sing or rave about his fruit
-- he simply blows it

(Bloodnok) He's doing it all night long
(Secombe) It's better than any song
No, it isn't very pretty, but you've got to admit its cute
(Bloodnok) Never, never
(Secombe) So all together let it go -- eat more fruit!

(Bloodnok) Don't tell me he's come to stay
(Secombe) Let the wardens here him say
Fruit's in season! Let's be merry! Apples, plums and the old raspberry
Everything is fresh today
(Bloodnok) Don't let him get near me, please!

(Secombe) Every Friday night when work is done
He doesn't waste a minute
To the prison warden he hurries 'round where he sings just like
a linnet
To hear him blow a melody it's great, you can't deny it
And if you've nothing else to do,
we'd like the screws to try it
(Bloodnok) No more, please!

(Secombe) Get ready and do it now
(Eccles) The crazy man, you know how
(Bloodnok) God knows it isn't very pretty
(Secombe) You've got to admit it's cute
(Bloodnok) Well....
(Secombe) All together let it go -- eat more fruit
(Bloodnok) There isn't a cure they say!
(Secombe) Let the screws all hear him say:
(Eccles) Don't eat farm laid for a <wow!>
(Secombe) Every thing is fresh today

(Bluebottle) Hello everybody, remember me, Bluebottle?
I'm fourteen now and I have got boils
<sings> Though I don't look very pretty, I'm wearing my
new brown suit.
The only trouble with it is when I go outside I'm struck
my fruit.
(Bloodnok) Don't point him at him I say
(Secombe) It's a treat to hear him play
Fruit's in season, plums and berries
Apples, pears and the old raspberry

(All) Every thing is fresh to day

(Bloodnok) Someone open a window, please!

Yep! That's the one!

Currently listening to and thoroughly grooving along to the most excellent, classic, wonderful 'Exodus' album by none other than Bob Marley and The Wailers...mon. (someone insert spliff smiley please)
