Gibberings CXLIV: The Nutmeg Challenge

[Ben So Furry]

The Computers.

Fun happy tuney tunes. :D

 

[Sammy G]

Plenty of musc recommendations, but they're too cool for this thread.

Franz Ferdinand? The shite version of Orange Juice.

 

[Ben So Furry]

Too cool for school Mr. G?

 

[Albion]

Too cool to give the album a listen?

 

[Ben So Furry]

It rocks Albion buddy. I think it's great.

 

[Albion]

I know! I wasn't accusing you of premature dismissal, I was accusing our Samhain.

I'm very glad you like it

 

[Ben So Furry]

I know you weren't mate. I was thanking you for switching me on to it good sir.

 

[Sammy G]

Too cool to give the album a listen?

I preferred that kinda stuff first time around. Second time around it's too cynical and knowing. And doesn't rock.

But anyway, I'm a curmudgeon, so people should probably ignore me.

I'm off to listen to Go-Kart Mozart.

 

[Albion]

Happy to have introduced you to The Wire and the 4th Franz album, Ben.


How about some Camper Van Beethoven, Sam?

 

[Ben So Furry]

Happy to have introduced you to The Wire.

I'll always love you for that. Thank you gorgeous.

 

[Sammy G]

How about some Camper Van Beethoven, Sam?

Take The Skinheads Bowling is great! :D

Believe it or not, the two names are unrelated. 'Go-kart Mozart' comes from a Springsteen lyric, though I instantly thought the same as you!

 

[Albion]

Aye, it is a brilliant song.

Here it is for the uninitiated:

 

[swampdragon]

Ooh, I know the Manics version but didn't realise it was a cover. Oops!

 

[Ben So Furry]

He he. I love the manics version too. I love you Swampdragon. lol :D

 

[Sammy G]

The Manics version was my intro to it too. :D

Australia b-side, yeah?

 

[Albion]

Well I didn't even know the Manics did a cover.

Shall have a listen.

 

[Ben So Furry]

All you cool folk are going to hate me for this but my favourite Manics tune is this.

Can you believe In Utero is 20 years old? Me neither.

 

[Sammy G]

Ben, I like you, but I just know that's gonna be a sub-prime Manics tune.

And I hate the Manics now. Loved them beyond belief when I was a yoof.

 

[Ben So Furry]

Ha ha. Don't click it mate. I already know that you won't like it. :D

Feelings mutual btw friend.

 

[swampdragon]

He he. I love the manics version too. I love you Swampdragon. lol :D

Yay PLUR.

Ben, I like you, but I just know that's gonna be a sub-prime Manics tune.

And I hate the Manics now. Loved them beyond belief when I was a yoof.

I think Kevin Carter counts as sub-prime, yes.. I guess someone has to love it.. %)

I still have a fondness for old Manics stuff, but I was a proper Manics fan as a teenager. All feather boas and leopard print.
