Just relistened to this the other day, the song Shoe Salesman from Title in Limbo.


It starts out kinda eerie, then gets very silly towards the end.

I am not bitter
Nor am I out to get her
I care so very much for her
I just want her shoes to fit her

The only song I remember by them (and I always forget the title) is Bedshaped.

It hasn't been in my rotation or anything, but I do like it and consider it a step above most pop songs. Added plus for the stop motion animation in the music video!

Is Nafo NATO only run by dogs?

I'm still working out, pretty much doing the same things.

A week ago, I was back at this gym nearby for the first time since November or so and they have a hack squat machine that I'd tried for fun back then. I tried it again with the same weights I did back then and I crushed it. So I assume I'd do fine with 3 X 12 X 80 kg as well on that smith machine I was doing before. Would be nice to try.

Quote from: DJChameleon on Jun 01, 2024, 02:51 AMHe's gonna be able to pardon himself so he won't technically be a felon anymore. Or win in the appeal process but the day of the election he won't be able to do the photo op first vote.

Presidents can only pardon for federal crimes, not state ones.  And the odds of New York state electing a Republican governor who would pardon Trump are slim to none. Those are also the odds of all of the convictions being reversed on appeal.

This is probably my favourite album of that kind of stuff. Not a classic by any means I just like the singles.

I wasn't aware of the song you just mentioned, I don't really hear of them now.

Their debut album was everywhere at the time though.

This quote about bands on the Wikipedia page for post-Britpop sums up how I feel about Keane and that sort of music in general:

QuoteThey have also been criticised for providing a "homogenised and conformist" version of Britpop that serves as music for TV soundtracks, shopping malls, bars and nightclubs.

Not so much the nightclub bit but shopping, TV adverts etc.

Are you a Keane fan?

It's funny, I don't think of a lot of those bands as being in the same caliber, then again this is the first time I've heard the phrase "Post Britpop" so what do I know?

I ask largely because I listen to an absolutely amazing college radio station near me and they will occasionally play Sovereign Light Cafe, and I wondered if this was one of those things where in the US they had 3 singles but in the UK they were massive.

Further, they're listed as Rock (which in the Britpop sense, OK, I get it) but the three songs I know seem very pop to me. Not a bad thing, I just didn't know how they'd become a rock band (same thing with Coldplay). This all makes a lot more sense. I was just wondering what the other side of the pond thought of them.
