Thanks a million, Katrin!

My haircut is also serious & grown up ;-) It’s only the second one I’ve had since I saw you last year! I’ll see what I can do about the photo.

Cheers,

Pat

Nice, looks very serious and grown-up.
How about the new haircut? Any chance of ever seeing a photo?
Take good care
Katrin

I never thought of Mad as the Mist & Snow as a Christmas song, but it would be a worthy one. I think their new album is as good as any of their ’80s output

We shared the same highlight. If it was released to coincide, I would have Mad As the Mist down as an Xmas #1 contender. No doubt some lowlife, low quality X-factor shit will trump it regardless. http://jamiekendrick.wordpress.com/2011/11/07/christmas-ahoy-for-the-waterboys/

Sounds like a quiet night for you, Dan. Do you still have the t-shirt? You’re some man for going to see Kasabian, even for free. I wouldn’t go if you paid me

I was over halfway through my teenage years when it came out

Dear Lord, Kasabian doing a Specials cover, I can only cringe as I imagine it’s awfulness. Had the ‘experience’ of seeing them, for free I must add, in the O2 in Dublin. Very weird gig, over half the crowd looked like the sort who’d never go to a rock gig. The crowd loved them, they were going crazy, I quite frankly was bored. A couple of their songs at the end weren’t as bad. Some young wan started snogging me. I was a little alarmed at this an inquired as to her age. It turns out she was younger than the t-shirt I was wearing at the time

That is some version by Earle. You must have been a teenager when Nevermind came out

I just knew you’d include Steve Earle, amazing version. I was working in HMV when that record came out, I used to play it all the time

I’ve actually just reposted the older set at http://coverlaydown.com/2011/09/rip-r-e-m-a-repost-in-tribute/ – with two bonus covers from Amber Rubarth and Joshua James that are definitely folk. Feel free to change links and text to direct folks to the revived, “live” version of these songs, if you like!

It’s a good song and it even sounds like an R.E.M. song. I’m sure loads more of those kind of compilations will start to surface now that the band has jacked it in

I didn’t buy the Man on the Moon single when it came out, but I heard that version of ‘Arms of love’ on a collection called Single Action Green. It was b-sides and out-takes from the Out of Time/Automatic for the people, days. A dead letter office warner bros. style

Yes, there have been instances in Ireland where Tesco launch an aggressive price campaign for a while. Local small businesses can’t compete and have to close and then Tesco push the price back up again. I have also heard from people that work there that new staff are often made to work past their scheduled finishing time to complete their task, but do not get paid for this. Fortunately, the Irish government is going to look into this latest JobBridge incident, though that may not do much good
