Whats your favourite Band/musician?

This is tough one but I'll have to go with Benny Goodman. Okay, stifle the laughter. I'm serious.

CyberPixie,
Someone gave me a Yo Yo Ma CD to listen to once and it gave me one of the worst headaches I have ever had in my entire life. I waited a week and gave it another chance and got another headache. Music shouldn't be painful LOL! I do understand that we all have different likes and dislikes and am not apalled that he has a following, his style just rubs me the wrong way.

I have heard Von(means "Hope" by the way) but not listened to it as much as the new one. The is one song there called "leit að lífi" that they remixed and it is great, I first thought it was Tricky or something, didn't even relise that the guy was singing in Icelandic If you got Napster try searching for it, it's worth it.

So sorry to hear that the concert is sold out, I want to see Radiohead live, they are one of the greats...

I mananged to download Von a couple of weeks ago. I took ages, because the files are soooo big and my connection is sooo slow and kept on cutting off. I'm still getting into it at the moment, but I don't think I like it quite as much as Agetis, it's a bit more ambient.

I've managed to see them twice, once when OK Computer was realised, and once on their Tent Tour last auntumn. Both times were superb, but I think the second time was better. There was so much atmosphere in the tent, and the band were playing brilliant songs fantastically. If anyone likes Radiohead even a little bit, I'd recommend going to one of their gigs if you can.

Anyone know whatever became of Eric Johnson?
I heard "Trademark" going to the store the other day. It brought back so many good feelings and memories that I had to buy the "Ah Via Musicom" CD while we were out tonight. I was really suprised to find it so many years later.
(originally released in 1989)
Wherever did Eric go?

"Then Bane, seeing the lifelessness and ruin in the middle of such beauty
smiled,
and spoke with a voice like that of carrion: "Let this place resonate with
new songs;
the cries of the warrior, the melody of clashing swords, the harmony of iron
shod
boots marching in unison over the stones, the crescendo of the death wail,
and the
chorus of the widow's lament. Let this place be a tapestry upon which I shall
paint
new scenes, and blood and ash shall be my pigments. These are the things that
I
cherish, and they shall dominate this place, as they do wherever the hearts of
men
are weak and quick to desire."
