What a great day for music

[Hungry Joe]

Not only does today mark the release date of the amazing Open Season from British Sea Power but also Napster have 114 Smashing Pumpkins tracks for you to download for a piddling £7.95 in the form of the Rarities & B-Sides album.

Now then, if that doesn't moisten your musical crotch then there's no hope for you.

Not sure about Smashing Pumpkins but British Sea Power are amazing and whatsmore the "Happy Mondays" Greatest Hits is out! as well as Morrissey Live at Earls Court.

I thougt you were going to say Busted have reformed

 

[colinpants]

What a great day for music, for a moment then i though Gerri Halliwell had retired.

Anyone else heard The Mars Volta ?

They are going to blow a lot of old bands out of the water. Bye bye Radiohead, Cure, Owasters.

 

[Benny Seagull]

there are rumours of led zep reforming but any more than a whisper may lead the dream to vanish so under yer hats lads! until that day comes however, that will be the greatest day in music.

Think Led Zep might have a problem persuading their drummer to rejoin.......

 

[tedebear]

Friday should be a good day for music - I'll be getting down with my soulful self at the soul night in Shoreham...... wheres my flares??

 

[Albion Dan]

Jason Bonham, Johns son would be the likely drummer.

 

[Simster]

I f***ing love The Smashing Pumpkins. Gish & Siamese Dream - two of my all time faves.

I've just been on Napster and can't see the link to the offer.

I f***ing love The Smashing Pumpkins. Gish & Siamese Dream - two of my all time faves.

They're another of my guilty pleasures. Their pomposity has to be overcome, i find. But once it is, they damn well rock.

 

[Trufflehound]

A great day for music? Is Robbie Williams dead?

Type Smashing Pumpkins into the Napster search engine and it'll take you there.

Jason Bonham, Johns son would be the likely drummer.

He's a better drummer than his pop imo.
He played a Zep set at the House Of Blues on Sunset as a 10th anniversary of his Dad's death, and he was outrageously good then. His sister was also excellent as a vocalist (set before his) but she somehow has been overlooked by fame and fortune.

Saw Robert Plant at the Royal Albert Hall on Monday, still bloody good. Page was there in a Exec Box, but did not get on stage. I dont think there will ever be a Zep renunion, as they dont need the cash (they both earnt 56 million last year) and it would never be the same (as you can not describe how good they were live and I have seen, The Who, Stones, U2, Queen) and without Bonham is like sleeping with Kylie without the sex.

and 1-0 to us today - Jake Robinson

the mars volta are good and musically incredibly gifted. but no-one will challenge radiohead's crown.
