I love the caravan of love. I was given this record (on vinal) when i was 5 at a children's party, and i played it sooooo much that my dad had to throw it away!

 

I loved this song!! Fat boy slim was, well, slim and this is also the first record Robbie Williams bought, so there we go!

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Definitely good.

 

I've got their compilation which has the majority of both their albums on it, and a few b-sides, and apart from the occasional ill-advised cover (You've Got A Friend, He Ain't Heavy) it's superb.

 

Sheep, Build, Me And The Farmer, Always Something There To Remind Me (not the Sandie Shaw song)... all great singles.

 

 

[ESG]

yeah indeed, great band

saw them upstairs at the monarch in their first incarnation b4 slimboy fat

 

Flag day, sitting on a fence, drop down dead

 

all good stuff, took the baton from the jam i felt, tho' not satorially

[Claire!]

Does anyone have a copy of Caravan of Love?! I would love to hear it again! I would love to have all those memories of me being an incy wincy 5 year old again, back in good old 1987!

 

 

[ESG]

 

87?

 

i was in a field somewhere...

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

No worries, Claire. I'll play it for you as a request before a match!!

 

 

[Claire!]

Thanks Zeal! That would be so good to hear!!! Can not wait!!!!!!

 

 

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Excellent! I'll play that for you instead of Will Young then!!

 

 

[Claire!]

Arrrr no! Please play Will for me as well!! I'll be happy for ever then! I love Will! Did yo see him on the NMA last night! Oh how gorgeous is he!!! He is so lovely and is always smiling! One day Zeal, he'll meet me and then change his mind about girls!!!!

[SteveP]

The NMA was so shocking I could not watch it, probably the worst reflection of music at the moment. CZ's done you a favour a reasonable song for an awful one..

 

I'm sorry I don't think I share your taste in music!

[Claire!]

lol! No worries! I though the NMA was absoluelty Sh@t! I only watched it so i could see Will!!

 

No probs with the different taste in music, i realise that differenht ages and personalities reflect on what kind of music they are into. I personally like any kind of music within reason. I mean although i like music of today, i also have music that Zeal likes, and some proper 1980's music (young guns go for it! album is the best - a mixture of classic hits from the 1980's)

 

no hard feelings Steve P - you are entitled to voice your opinion!!!

[Claire!]

Well, no classical, and nothing by Mr Blobby!!!!

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Classical is a very broad generalisation.

 

You like no classical, at all? In the 600-odd years since the Baroque movement, there has been nothing at all you like??

 

 

[Claire!]

no, i like some, but probably the clasical in the sence of orchestrial.

 

I can tolerate alot of classical music, but when i am made to listen to it over and over again, it does do my head in!

 

I do like a bit of Motzart (dunno how you spell it) on a sunday afternoon, whilst painting in the conservatory.

[Laz]

So Zealster, you have Claire's request for her birthday: Mozart. Pick one of the longer pieces and you'll be able spend at least 15 minutes in the bar while it's playing.

[Claire!]

LOL!!! It's ages till my birthday, so my mind may change! You know how i am with changing my mind!!
