Who/what is she then? X-Factor finalist? Losing 'contestant' on Big Brother? Former cover girl on 'Nuts'? ... last week's news?

You're gettin' old my dear.  

Keane - Under The Iron Sea

Fab album indeed. I am a bit dissapointed by their latest one though....  :?


For me the best "pop" band these last years is Coldplay. Their albums are getting better and better IMO.
And I love Muth Math. Fantastic debut album. But it's time they came up with something new; it's been a few years.

AFAIC the body can continue to "fall apart" But in my head i'm determined to stay young. I don't ever want to become an old fuddy-duddy.

Sounds a rather excellent plan to me

"Old" is a state of mind.

For much of the next four months, it's also the state of Florida.

For much of the next four months, the state of Florida is also half the state of Michigan.

I'm a bit of a fan of The Feeling - quite lovely crafted tunes and extremely catchy.

[wickedwitch]

i think the feeling, with jellyfish, are in a class of their own.

Very much agree, I saw them perform at the IW Festival in 2007 and in my view they were one of the best bands there (in the company of Muse & Rolling Stones), really good live as well as on record.

Listen to me "record", I'm such an old fart... I meant CD or MP3 or whatever the hell it is these days  :lol:

Indeed.  I don't think they fall under the "pop" genre in the strict sense.  Jellyfish should have been hugely successful.  Radio missed the boat again.
