Murdoch a subscription fee! Not to mention the ability to play all my MP3s in the stereo in the lounge, my own never-ending jukebox that doesn't need the CD changing - ever.
Now there are some important points to consider when building a PC for the lounge. First off, it's got to look the part or LegendaryMrsDude will have it up in the loft in no time - on a charge of "looking untidy". This means that it's got to blend in with all the other bits & pieces under the telly, which invariable means either black or silver finish. The Overture II scores well here, being both "piano black" gloss AND silver (on the front panel). Being approximately the same size as a standard amplifier, it also maintains reasonable proportions and doesn't look too out of place.
Secondly, it's got to be quiet. At least quiet enough that you can't hear it when the TV ...
Advantages: Great Story, Great Music and a lot of fun Disadvantages: Nowt
In the seventies , or was the eighties, I remember Cliff Richard appearing on Top of the Pops wearing a T-shirt proclaiming “I’m Nearly Famous”, or something akin to that sentiment. Well , aren’t we all. On Thursday 7th of June our band Spoon appeared at the Tyneside Irish Centre in Newcastle upon Tyne to raise money for Cancer research. A CD / Video CD will be available hopefully within the month (price to be decided) as well as T-shirts (see profile for design) (price 10 GBP if you would like one).
This is a pre amble to this op stating that nearly all lads would really like to be a rock star , if they could. I’m 44 and still hoping, though Spoon is probably as near as I’m going to get, still playing to a partisan crowd of 200 for a couple of hours gives you a great buzz..
So on to the op ...
Advantages: Production, Originality Disadvantages: Old lyrics
Jme's first album " Famous?" is a more mainstream attempt from the self titled Boy Better Know CEO than his previous 4 mixtapes. Whilst still retaining a "grime" sound, JME covers subjects such as the alarming rate of gun and knife crime on "Punch In The Face" which takes a twist on many slang words with double meanings, a very interesting song indeed. JME is an artist who is renowned for his more intellectual lyrics and this shines through on his debut album. " 123 " and " Punch In The Face " are perfect examples of this. Other stand out tracks include " Sun, Sea And Sand" which is a summer time anthem where JME is describing a holiday in ayia napa. " Power " Is a concept song with JME using his imagination to write about having a power to clone anything available to him. Also " Serious" is a insightful song about the amount of fake ...
