The rules, as usual, are: 1 point for the correct song title, 1 point for the singer, no Googling. There is no common theme or link this time, except that they're all songs I like! All comments will be screened ( Read more... )

I recorded Later with Jules Holland last night, because Damien Rice was on it, and I've just been watching the recording. He did two songs from the new album: Coconut Skins and The Animals Were Gone, both of which were good live. He had three others with him - one was Lisa Hannigan, playing a second guitar, and then there was a woman playing a ( Read more... )

Damien Rice's new CD is growing on me. My first impression on the first time through was, "it's okay, but no songs as spectacular as Cannonball or Volcano."

Do go give it a shot if you've got 15 minutes spare and help with someone's research!

I need to get back into icon making - I need a music icon of some kind.

Not much to report today:

* I was at work until 6.45pm, because I have too much to get done this week. Yesterday was a 6.20pm finish. At least I know I have to finish on time tomorrow, because of picking up Eldest.

* I played a quick game of Literati with angelofthenorth and her boyfriend last night. M won, which it was quite evident from the first couple ( Read more... )

Hubbie has jetted off to Italy (Lake Como) today on a business trip - back tomorrow evening. It looks like he'll be away quite a few times a year with this new job, which isn't something I mind, in moderation ( Read more... )
