You were robbed, that tune is close to my favourite of the musical.

Theme is Anime openings. Deadline Thursday 10 PM

I'll google it, but what is anime openings?

 

[Chipmunk]

MWPP thought the song you billied was your song lol. She saw the musical when she was in London last year

Yeah...it's on my list, it probably will be nommed when I get to see it!

MWPP worth watching?

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

BM: Come From Away - Welcome to the Rock @SarahSmiles (I feel like I have to explain myself, I've planned to watch it in London for ages due to superlative reviews from others, and the song in isolation was disappointing compared to what I expected)

It is absolutely incredible live, I highly recommend that if you get the chance to see it if you get the chance, I saw it towards the end of it's run here in Melbourne and had the songs stuck in my head for ages, very funny, very heartwarming and surprisingly sad at times. Brilliant musical

Big yikes, see you all Sunday.


Until then, por_please_ya you would appreciate this. C&C played a gig that they had to stop short due to weather. They came out to play one song, which was Welcome Home, but how eerily similar is it to the film clip with the house stage right? The lightning is incredible.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Wow 2nd. Will take that.

Met Caribou in Barcelona at Primavera, dude is chill as, glad yous liked.

I raged when GC said I was beaten to it. Then when I saw MC beat me to Leon Bridges, I just stared blankly at my screen, plotting evil deeds in my mind.

I'm not petty though, and gave you 3 and MC 5.

4. FKA twigs - home with you TubbsFarquhar

This might be the first round where there aren't enough noms for people to choose a 5,4,3,2,1,Billy from

 

[ChappyUK]

You spoke too soon.

 

[Plugger35]

Plugger35 you just missed out on botes, I enjoyed that song. Even sent it to my Dad because I reckoned he would like it.

He wouldn't be alone in liking it, that song went to no.7 in the UK, no.5 in the US and no.1 in Ireland back in 1986.
