Aretha Franklin, Fudge Tunnel and Gorecki!
Quite a combination! Good to see some people out there with equally diverse tastes.
The only piece of Gorecki I really love is the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs. If you like that kind of thing, have you got into Arvo Part? 'Fratres' is one of the most gorgeous pieces of music I've ever heard. Hate Songs was a great LP. Not sure about their later stuff though.
Anyway, my own favourites include:
Afghan Whigs, Low, Leonard Cohen, Grandaddy, Archers of Loaf
Godflesh, Pixies/Frank Black, NIN, Sarah Dougher, Veruca Salt, Arvo Part, Curtis Mayfield, mu-ziq, Lemonheads, Mogwai, Telegraph Melts, Minor Threat/Fugazi ,London Posse ,Anything on Ninja Tune, Styles of Beyond and loads of US hip hop.
I don't listen to the radio much so they can play what they like.

Yeah, but it reminded a lot of "Steal my Sunshine" by Len.
Has anyone heard Half Pipe Heaven by OPM. I first heard it on Friay when I was getting ready to go out and it put me in a realy good mood. A nice up beet song that isn't POP!
Relax Radio DJ bloke.

Or bit 'o fun.
Whichever you like.

I adore MHS - don't think I've actually heard a bad track by them yet. Been getting everything on MP3 awaiting an album from them, favourite tracks so far being I Tried and Barcode Bypass. Really like the lead singers voice - one of the few guys fronting up a band who can actually carry a tune! They played live as support for The Strokes here a couple of weeks ago and I missed it - GUTTED! (Got tickets for Radiohead in September to make up for it though - arrived in the post this morning causing me to do a little dance in my dressing gown :)
I'm not a huge Fun Lovin' Criminals fan though they are one of the best bands I've seen live. Glasto two years ago and it was just a great laid back and funky kind of atmosphere - perfect thing for the Sunday evening (pity they were followed by the Corrs... or maybe that was before them...)
Gorilliaz are another band you mention I've listened to a good bit of. Remember hearing Rock the House on Jo Wiley ages ago and loving it - dying for the album. GOt to admit though - I was dissappointed by the tracks without the Deltron 3030 guys (great band - try them out if you liked RTF and CLint Eastwood). Rest of the album aside from those two track is basically just Albarn's side of Brit pop. Not a bad thing per say, just not as good as I was expecting.

So, I'm calling you on this.
Which radio station

And I'm sure we're all very impressed by a local
> radio DJ Mikey
Yep - Tune FM - a ludicrously small Christian radio station broadcasting around the Whitehead/Carricfergus/Ballycarry area in Co Antrim. I'm the token non-christian DJ (my mates dad is the pastor of one of the churches involved) - something to do with the funding and or employment rights (not that we actually get paid anything).
Happy? I never tried to claim it was anything grand FFS. Probably not as you seem to have some irrational desire to be not only totally ludicrous (IPs - come on! One: can you even get them from posts on this forum? Secondly - say me and you little friend were both BTI users - we'd have very similar IPs... kind of puts a hole in you little conspiracy theory) but just basically a bit of an unwelcoming fool. But then you've got more posts than me - I must bow down to your superior status as a human being.

3 piece from Nottingham that sadly split up about 4 years ago.
The guitarist/screamer Alex Newport created Nailbomb with Max Cavelera and now lives in Arizona and produces other bands.
Albums include:
Hate Songs in E Minor
Complicated Futility of Ignorance
Tipper Gore
Greatest Misses
Teeth E.P
Superb, dense, heavy and unbelievably massive riffs.
Always used to mix the vocals way down in the mix so you could never understand what he was saying.
Albums usually had "The lyrics are crap, so dont waste your time" on the bottom, along with "If you expected a mention and didnt get one, we don't like you"
Fantastic.
A 7 min version of "Sunshine of Your Love" complete with Black and Decker Power Sander on guitar solo.
