[Jonathan]

Well - not bought in the normal sense as such - I downloaded it.


Got me another copy of Pink Floyd - The Pulse.


[Edit] Meant to say I owe loads to the person that introduced me to the Floyd back in 1988/89 .

[Wee Toon Ajax]

Good topic, not that I listen to much music

For albums released this year would say the following have been excellent (in no particular order);

1. Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise. 2nd album in his quest to make an album about every american state. Wonderful melodic album.

2. Bright Eyes - i'm wide awake its morning. Great album from Conor Oberst, probably best lyricist around the now but a spoiled wee brat when playing live.

3. Antony and the Johnsons - I am a bird now. Androgynous singer / songwriter favoured by Lou Reed, great soulful album.

4. Kaiser Chiefs - Employment. Probably the one most people will have heard of. Good wee album

5. Arcade Fire - Funeral. Debut album by Canadian band, much in the style of Talking Heads with a drop of Joy Division rhythm section thrown in for good measure.

Other good releases this year by the Coral, Eels, Go-Betweens, Gorillaz, Sons and Daughters, Idlewild and the Magic Numbers.

Nae doot I will have to make copies for Davie and Rooster on next trip home.

Sorry GUS but i thought that it was my star wars 111 you had for a week before it ever came to the pictures in the toon. Shame on you bringing the picture hoose doon from the inside . You would rather sit in your house on a sunday night and watch the latest films on dvd than go to old picture house you are killing the local econamy.

I think there should be a law against using a laptop when you are drunk

I think there should be too - especially if the laptop doesn't have a decent spell checker!
