Didn't have a big enough role on that. Brilliant show though.

By the way, does anyone else love the InBetweeners?

Yes, absolutely phenomenal show!

 

[Cruyff14]

I enjoy some of their songs. Wouldn't say I'm a fan as such. My music tastes is much closer to yours, I don't listen to much current music. Dire Straits, Paul Simon, U2, Queen, Tom Petty etc. One of my favorite songs is St Elmos fire haha.

Dire Straits and U2

Tom Petty has a new album out.

As for The Inbetweeners, hilarious.



The first time I watched from 7.10-9.00, I was in hysterics and could barely breathe. It's still hilarious.

Yes, absolutely phenomenal show!

I cannot wait for this new movie haha. That show always has me in stitches.

Unbelievably good show.

The guy who plays Jay (James Buckley) occasionally replies on Twitter to people who have posted tweets with "Jay from Inbetweeners" in it, very funny stuff.

Also, if you don't like David Bowie, I feel really sorry for you.

 

[Jatz]

Under pressure is one of the best songs I've ever listened to. Brilliant.

 

[Cruyff14]

Bowie's range is absolutely ridiculous. Freddie obv had the best (mainstream) voice ever.

Producer Mack told an amusing story about the vocal recording for "Under Pressure," where one of the two singers would record their improvised vocals with the other being locked out so they couldn't hear what the other was doing.

What a result!

We're on a hot streak. Never won two in a row and won two in a row last week, got three in a row this week. Huge.

I used to go most weeks when I lived in Melbourne.

Now that I have moved to Brisbane for work I have only gone a couple of times.

I have all of their albums, just haven't extensively listened to them yet. Might try to do that this week.

Not familiar with The Head and the Heart, are they similar to Noah and the Whale?

Head and the Heart are more laid back, I would liken them to The Lumineers more than NatW.

Kind of folk/acoustic/indie/ bundled all into one.

Check these out







The tone in his voice is wonderful.

Yep. Do the one at Uni with some people from the Physics Society. Usually win.

Went to the local footy club's fundraiser trivia night on the weekend and we killed it. Ended up winning by about 4.5 points over the next best team despite risking points that the other team won in bonus games.

One of the bonus games was going through the alphabet in song titles. I made the final two but mental blanked at 'E'. As soon as I sat back down about 10 songs came to my head. Frustrating to say the least.

Such a shame that injuries wrecked what could've been a (more) magnificent career.
