Re: Whats new in the UK?
Thu, January 1, 2004 - 8:36 AMYeah! And Rick Wakeman came across well too - The People's Organist, no less. But there isn't much else to show off to the Yanks about; not on TV anyway. Musically, I guess we have Radiohead/// And films? Nothing. Not that I can think of anyhow.
Big up the UK, etc... -

Re: Whats new in the UK?
Thu, January 1, 2004 - 9:17 AMKinda agree on PJ Harvey - not about The Coral! - but Aphex Twin is absolutely fantastic! He's blessed =^) Do you like Autechre?
I also like Bowie - but then, the UK people I like all tend to be too obscure to get bothered by most people. And then there is an increasing number of US artists...

Thu, January 8, 2004 - 8:25 PM2003 saw Dizzee Rascal's debut album 'Boy in da corner'. The Streets 'Original pirate material'. Matmos 'The Civil War'.
All great.

Re: Whats new in the UK?
Sat, January 10, 2004 - 7:00 AMi like autechre, yep. most of the warp records crew.
i hated dizzee rascal when i first heard him, his singles hid the talent, what i mean is that the album pleasantly surprised me.
oh and a sad thing Bob monkhouse died. man with the tan. -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: Whats new in the UK?
Sun, January 11, 2004 - 3:46 PMthe streets "original pirate material" is dated though. the kid needs to put out a new effort,us yanks out here are becoming frustrated at the length it is taking for a new release.
what's up with manchester's band elbow? is it worth the cabbage to buy? -

Sun, February 22, 2004 - 9:36 AMVic & Bob's Catterick.
Starring Vic Reeves, Bob Mortimer, Matt Lucas, Morwenna Banks, Tim Healy, half a League of Gentlemen. Probably forgotten someone, but have only seen half of the first episode so far.
Surreal as you would expect from those jokers. But a little darker. Perhaps the influence of the Leaguers has begun to tell?
On BBC3 at the moment. Sure to find a slot on BBC2 before long. As for BBC America, don't hold your breath.

Re: Whats new in the UK?
Sat, February 28, 2004 - 5:59 PMi am a fan of elbow, i just got their latest and i like it quite a bit, but then i have never been known for my taste.
i've been out of the uk for a while now, and would be very interested in any music updates and suggestions...also, what's going on on eastenders...i know i'm sorry, but they just took it off BBC America and that's the last i heard...the highlights will do, who's dead, who killed who..you know, the juicy stuff.
thanks -

Wed, March 17, 2004 - 2:57 PMWhat's new and hip, Michelle asked.
I'm going down quite well at the moment.
No, that's a lie. I'm not. But then I'm not in Eastenders, rather thankfully, so it's not all bad!
