    always takes me a while to get into new albums and this one seems to get better the more I listen.

    I'm like that... it takes me a good few listens to get into an album and its nuances. This is getting better with every listen... loving Inside Job at the minute... Comatose and Gone are probably my favourites so far :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    oooohh yes.. Marker in the Sand... :o the chorus of this song gives me goosebumps...

    *smug alert* we were some of the first people to ever hear it live... that makes me think we're quite special in our own wee way ;)

    I know... it's a little bit mental, isn't it. That chorus is amazing... so different to the verse and yet it just works.
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"

    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love

    You're all making me jealous. Couldn't get the download to work and is too late to buy it anywhere :(

    Will have to buy tomorrow on my lunch break. Do you think anyone will notice if I spend the afternoon listening to my walkman :confused:
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Tell them your therapist recommended it and watch for the reactions.

    I would have been no use on those type of questions. My Dad is King of pub quizzes. We owned pubs for 15 years and he had to write one every week so he is a mine of useless information ... and a nightmare to watch Who Wants to be a Millonaire? with.

    Night Night

    p.s. look at the news section. we get to watch the post Letterman gig live :D

    Aww well what's the opposite to congrats? I used to be great at quizzes when I was in school and we had a team that got to i dunno, some kind of final. But they were all quite predictable questions. My brother though actually came second in the Irish Brainbusters which was years ago. He knows absolutely everything about everything. He's a walking encyclopedia.

    Lol, well it IS true that the questions are only easy if you know the answers and you'd be amazed how much bullshit our brains are capable of storing - actually that's all that seems to be going on in mine :D

    Thanks for the info. Probably won't download then as it means putting the software on a computer that isn't mine :o

    I have listened to the album through once but can't listen again until I'm on my way home :(

    Right will leave you in peace to enjoy :D:D:D
