And Mine. 

Grant lee phillips is a guy who was the lead singer of Grant lee buffalo whose similar name was more coincidence than anything as they are named after the protagonists of a famous battle.  I also like the song and to the bloke who thinks this is all just too depressing i think you'll find that if you get your news from a more reliable and informative source than fox news then we all have good reason to feel pretty depressed about the state of human nature from time to time.

This man has the smoooooooooooothest voice I've heard for some time. He could be singing the Ugandan telephone directory for all I know or care, but the depth and smoothness of his voice is like balm for the brain :). 7 from the chilled-out Nottingham jury.

I always give her another chance when I haven't heard the song before but I just don't get what people find in her. I think she's just awful. The voice grates, the accent is phony-baloney and the songs themselves are third rate. I would give her a zero if I could because I run to turn the music off when she comes on.

Fuck, life is depressing enough without listening to this self indulgent tosser. Can't get my head around this twat - someone please explain LC!

I'm with you. In fact, if Bill just replaced every damn James McMurtry song (which seem to get played at least once per day) with a Faithless one, I'd truly be in radio paradise.

Humor is fine in music(Weird Al, Frank Zappa). The problem with this or Senor Coconut is that they kill the songs they do! It's like Draino in my Pepsi...totally unpalatable.


Why does humor keep music from being real? I can think of a ton of songwriters and musicians that would have a word with you on that.

Actually, Lennon died for Jodie Foster...

We (insert various emo emo emo emo emo shit)...

No thanks, Patti. All that money and fame sorta precludes the tortured artist notion, to me.

I wonder what the planet might have been like without them?

I'm disappointed that "The World is a Ghetto" isn't on the RP playlist.

this is just so damned weird.
the strange lyrics and speaking, the playful childlike melody, and the haunting background vocals.
I love it!!!!!!

Yes, I am little surprised it is Snow Patrol. However, I still don't like it. Snow Patrol is mostly for teens I think
I saw them last summer and there were very few teens in the crowd. Looked mostly like the 30's crowd. Excellent concert, by the way.

I like the beginning. I like the middle even better. THEN it gets really good!

Went to a Foreigner show at the Oakland Colosseum and could not bribe or sneak in as it was sold out, and our friend with Bill Graham froze us out.
So ended up the parking lot smoking opium, and went to
Berkeley and saw David Lafalme and say I did not move in four hours.
He was better than any band I saw growing up in the Inner Sunset in the 60's.
Next door to the Haight for neophytes.
He was better than the stones or steve miller at their peak.

Usually I have a snappy comeback to the Lennon fans, but between a towering hangover and the pithiness of your comment, I got nothin. Nicely done.

Still think the Lennon solo stuff is overrated, though.

I'm still so tired of the Beatles

...it's just cruel to play this when i'm having to work through the night tonight...

Would be such a great song, but the singing is nasty. :puke: "WEEEeeeeee...."

The whiney, crying sound is irritating like Barry Manilow music.

Don't get me wrong... take that whiiiiiiine out and the song itself is phenomenal. But who told the singer that the whine sounds great? "Yeah... make it more whiney, like a kid who dropped his ice cream... that's it! More! More!"

Sorry... no flames. Would love the song if it wasn't for that.

Is ska just reggae for white folks?

No, it's ska, for all folks.

When people see some things as beautiful,
other things become ugly.
When people see some things as good,
other things become bad.

Being and non-being create each other.
Difficult and easy support each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low depend on each other.
Before and after follow each other.

Therefore the Master
acts without doing anything
and teaches without saying anything.
Things arise and she lets them come;
things disappear and she lets them go.
She has but doesn't possess,
acts but doesn't expect.
When her work is done, she forgets it.
That is why it lasts forever.

I listen to RP at work 8 hours, and at home while awake. I love the mix no matter what. Ok, some stuff I don't care for, but the majority is great, I have found so many new bands, and won't ever listen to commercial radio again.

If Bill wants to play it, I'll give it a try.

I never tire of this song.

tis good indeed...but massive attack, morcheeba, portishead...which way do i go? Guidance needed.

I thought I heard Stipe say this song (and the term "losing my religion") was about someone losing their temper and not really a song about religion. I believe he said it was either an old southern term or an old afraican-american term - I can't recall.
