4000 Posts/Recommendation

[MK James]

Excuse me for making a post on your fine forum, but I'd just like to congratulate CZ on being the 1st. to 4000 posts. I figure that you would need to average more than 50 a day over 2 years to achieve this, so well done.

 

More importantly can i recommend that you listen to the best radio show of the moment. Radio 2-8pm Sat night Stuart Maconie's Critical List. Every week 1 album is entered onto the 'critical list' and 3 tracks are played, plus other great tracks from other artists. Featured albums recently include Automatic for The People, Exile On Main Street, A Rush Of Blood To The Head, Catch A Fire, Let's Get It On, and Blue (Joni Mitchell). Unfortunately total classics such as Revolver & Pet Sounds were featured ages ago,but still. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Err... 50 a day for 2 years would be 36,500 posts!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

I have been posting for a year, so it's an average of about 11 a day.

 

Have I actually made 4,000 yet??

No your on 3968.

I want some of what MKJames is on, except when I do my tax return <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I can't see anybody else getting close. I'm willing to try and beat you to it but I think that might be a big ask!

But I reckon 50 a day is well within my grasp so will MKJames be first to 20000 posts?

re: those albums (or CDs as the young 'uns call them these days )

Excess drinking and late nights is taking it's toll TLT, last week I couldn't evan spel corectly.

"Blue" by Joni Mitchell is quality. Not sure about the others though. REM must be the most overrated band of the 90's.

 

 

[The Lyrical Tarantula]

And Coldplay one of the most overrated of the 00's

[MK James]

 

I agree about REM, although I think 'Automatic' is a pretty strong album.I'd definitely recommend this show, there's a slight indie element but folk,70's rock,reggae and soul all feature from time to time.He always plays the less well known tracks as well, rather than going with the obvious. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

...has he got old has he got new?

 

 

(for older listeners that one, weekdays ITV)

It's a greatest albums ever kind of show, they're not going to dig out George Best by The Wedding Present or The [censored] [censored] Treat Us Like [censored] by Flux Of Pink Indians because great as those albums are, no-one would listen to the show.Although having said that,he always plays 2 or 3 artists that are new to me. Last week a band called Camel from the 70's(?)I'm thinking of starting my own thread on this kind of theme, but somehow I think it will look out of place on the EFC forum.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Well start it on here then.

 

 

[MK James]

 

Yeah-why not <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

[The Lyrical Tarantula]

George Best by the Wedding Present is a great album.

 

Great album doesn't mean sales otherwise we'd have bands like Blue and Robbie Williams on there!

 

Brothers in arms by Dire Straights bores the hell out of me but it's one of the best selling albums of all time

[MK James]

 

He's never played Brothers In Arms. It's not AOR radio

[The Lyrical Tarantula]

Well he plays Coldplay!

[MK James]

I don't even know why I'm defending Coldplay-I don't even like them. Look just trust me on this, if you don't like the album of each week, he still plays other artists. And it is on Radio 2. Only Peelie would get more artistic licence. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
