****ing right on mate.<P>i listened to that album solidly for about a month whilst on holiday and after i'd got back. was great for evoking memories. lucky is one of my favourite all time songs and the tourist used to be. i cant/dont listen to it much anymore because i've worn it out.<P>lovely spectrum of complimenting songs, with the only song which isn't excellent being fitter happier, which isn't exactly a song anyway.<P>not the greatest review ever but i cant be arsed. it's a friday, we've all had something to drink.<p>[This message has been edited by Monkey (edited 01 September 2001).]

i heard that the other day. been wanting to hear that for a while because m&l played that for ages at the height of their success, and at a time where i usually  caught parts of the show. they now refuse to talk about it. . i think. cant remember , but i thought i heard them say, or be quoted as saying, that.<P><br>

I actually never listened to M+L on the breakfast show...but apparently the story is that in 1997 they had Whitetown as their usual record of the week - but then everybody liked it; and they started playing it on every show on Radio 1...so what potentially was one of M+L's usual records of the week(number 104 on the singles chart) turned Jyoti Mishra from Derby into a number 1 artist.  Apparently he only recorded it on a 8-trck cassette recorder.

Why is it when some * wnker whizzes past u at 100mph your driving instructer reminds u that you're doing 32mph ?<br>It doesn't matter what * maniacs are around u the driving instructor will allways pick YOU up on something.<br>PS: Talking about Wnk....U would swear Missy Elliott sais 'W@nk me off - show me what u got etc.' and not 'Break me off'.<P>PPS: Cider is beeeeauuuuutiful !!

I thought it was 'Work me off'.<P>OK Computer - I haven't listened to it many times, but personally I prefer Kid A. I will have to listen to OK Computer again some time though...<P>Monkey - forget about your driving lesson and get in #r1!<P>the_dr

the thing with driving instructors is that they cant just allow you to make simple observations and questions as kind of small talk, as i like to do, they have to answer you with textbook regurgatated crap that they speil out to every **** they teach. they launch in to giant ****ing monologues about things in such a curcumlatory way, and the learner driver (me) is sitting their thinking that it's all down to practise anyway so shut the f*ck up, biatch. i cant wait until my mum is able to afford insurance for me, so i can learn to drive without the pressure some driving instructors put you under.<P>i know they work strange and often long hours and it's a ****ty job. but it annoys me. <P>ps - guinness is great<br><p>[This message has been edited by Monkey (edited 01 September 2001).]

Please,DR...don't split hairs  :)<br>Whatever it is it still sounds like 'W@nk me off' - and it still amuses me everytime I hear it.

interesting story about whitetown: when that single was released and he was getting big, the idiot was mistakenly hired to play at a national front gathering in london. in case you didn't know he's asian.

Radioheads music is all the same.....<P>boring........<br>dull..........<br>depressing....<P>Remember the father ted episode??<P>David

[Guest]

the song creep got them that reputation ages ago. it ****es me off that they cant lose it, as that was their first hit song of their first album, of which they now have five.<P>try listening to the following tracks: airbag, lucky, just, blow out, idioteque, the tourist.<P>not boring, most are very catchy once you've listened to them a few imes and manage to "get" them. depressing, nope. i reckon: comforting & evocative if your feeling bad, anthemic if your feeling good. dull, depends on what floats your boat i suppose - if you think so fair enough. father ted dissed me. best episode? hmmm. how about the hitler one, or the one with all the priests on the plane. <P>

[the_dr]

Father Ted = Class<P>The Radiohead episode with the depressed priest was excellent. 2nd Best Comedy Series ever (1st is obviously Blackadder).<P>The Idioteque track is probably the best Radiohead tune. Very Kid A.<P>the_dr
