You know, JB, i agree with you and disagree with you on this at the same time. Let me explain ... You are absolutely right on definitions. A song is not a tune. I don't know what a nocturne is exactly, but if I heard a piece of music that someone had composed within a certain set of 'rules', or what...

Thank you. These are the two things I always concentrate on (interesting arrangements and infusing a little bit of punk spirit) so it's really nice when the uber-talented identify them :)

sig Hey, I take it you liked American Gods? I'm a huge Sandman fan, but Neverwhere came off like a cheap Crighton novel, so I haven't been too crazy about checking out his other books. I liked the concept of Neverwhere - tube stations anthropomorphised - I guess you could argue that American Gods t...

Consider it on its way, old chap. But in return you have to cover 'Tomorrow Belongs to me' from Cabaret :)

'Tis a shame. The pleasure for me is finding someone I don't know and covering them. Like last year I ended up doing Toad the Wet Sprocket, exactly because it was the one on the list i didn't know and that made it more challenging. Having said that I tried to make my list this year more 'populist'. ...

Oh, describing a shopping list lyric should be easy - but i'm struggling - does this make any sense? 'A lyric where each line is related to the title but there is no other, or little, thematic progression between the lines themselves.' (my definition) I'm trying to think of a famous example. As soon...

Absolutely agree with you Rabid, especially since it's about a book, but equally one shouldn't get shouty when someone replies to that hard-on in a way other than the one you were expecting.

When I first read this, I mis-imagined a huge 3 day open air festival dedicated to the songs of His Name is Dan. Not such a bad idea, in retrospect ...
