Iron Maiden – Phantom of the Opera just came on Rhythmbox (on random), and I immediately thought of this 1985 Lucozade advert, which was the first time I think I ever heard the Maiden… Showing my age!

Also, good ‘ol Daley Thompson – look at him go in the 1980 Moscow olympics! Did Britain proud! Superstar! =D

Lovin’ this track off the Dandy’s new album This Machine.

If you don’t get the “this machine” angle, it’s from the sticker on Woodie Guthrie’s guitar that said “This machine kills fascists”.

Anyways – definitely on the “to get” list!

Heard this on the radio the other week – and it just won’t get out of my head…

Just love Amanda Palmer’s voice… =D

Woke up with this song in my head for some reason…

Sounds a bit like Kate Bush to me, which isn’t a necessarily a bad thing.

Woke up the other day singing the Nada Surf cover of Enjoy the Silence to myself so I thought I’d share. The track itself comes from their self-released 2010 album If I had a Hi-Fi.

If the job of a cover is to re-invent and re-interpret the song, then this absolutely nails it – lovin’ the way they turn the melancholy into summery, melodic rock =D
