Ted Maul 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2006 I've just got this fella's album and it's something special. Heartbeat is my favourite track so far (Probably because it's on the Sony advert and it's had time to grow) but the whole album is brilliant. I just hope he doesn't get dismissed as another pop singer/songwriter when he becomes popular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sammynb 58 Report post Posted January 17, 2006 He recently toured Australia so they released the "Australian Tour" album. Unlike Happy Face, how is U2 going, I quite like it. His cover of Love will tear us apart is good and on other forums it might even rate as great. If you want to listen to something more interesting than Coldplay but aren't looking for the new Jesus and Mary Chain it might fit the bill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking of the little elfin character who likes to stand up and do Rolf Harris pants and taps on the top of his piano. What the fucks his name again? Parky gives him bum fun.

Pilchard Chops 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2006 As I've metioned before James Blunt has massive potential, its not his fault he has become so popular and his songs played to death. Only just aquired Veneer but unless it gets hammered to death like Blunt I think it will be a great album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How does it go? Something like "she caught my eye, as we walked by"and the other one is "I saw you face in a crowded place" Makes me wince, was he 13 when he wrote it?

Meenzer 890 Report post Posted January 18, 2006 That'll be "Where The Wild Roses Grow". Not exceedingly camp in and of itself, but blessed with a nice sense of melodrama that undoubtedly appeals to the Gays. I'm pretty sure it's on the video jukebox at G-A-Y Bar, for what it's worth.
