What I can say to this, is: "we're all gonna die, so let's get high"! 

[SueC]

...call that a song???

Here's a song...   

[Ulrich]

Not a song (as no-one sings):

Here's a song...   

Uh-oh, he better stick to his acting (i.e. I don't like his "singing" much)! 
But then again, I can't stand Dr House any more (too many episodes following the same "scheme").

[SueC]

Not a song (as no-one sings):

Very nice.

Now here's a song because people are actually singing, but it's a very BAAAAAD song.  Just to show what bad singing actually looks like...

...and Brett sends you this artist, with kind regards:

Uh-oh, he better stick to his acting (i.e. I don't like his "singing" much)! 

Dear Ulrich, perhaps you need to mail order yourself a new pair of ears.    Brett and I have the album, and very much enjoy it - the above track is just a bit of fun, but there's some really lovely stuff on it - as well as terribly outrageous stuff, which some blues standards are... OMG the lyrics - no sense of personal responsibility at all in some of them, and just "poor-me"...   But Mr Laurie was singing and tinkling at his piano well before he was acting...

But then again, I can't stand Dr House any more (too many episodes following the same "scheme").

The first two or three seasons were good, we thought.  Then the medical propositions went off the cliff, and as you say, things began to really repeat.  The second-last season was God-awful...

And now we all need an antidote:

[Ulrich]

Mr Laurie was singing and tinkling at his piano well before he was acting...

That's good for him and maybe for you and Brett, but I'm not interested in his "singing".

[Ulrich]

Many say he can't sing, but he's not that bad after all...

[Ulrich]

Fits the mood today...

[SueC]

I've had this one on before, but here it is again... suited today.

[Ulrich]

If you like that Loreena McKennitt track, you should also like this one:

[Ulrich]

Just how could I resist a kiss that don't exist?
...
If you want and feel a need to call
You know my name
My address hasn't changed at all and I'm still the same

[Ulrich]

New song by TV Smith, album "Lockdown Holiday" will be released in November! 

[SueC]

Eeeeexcellent!!!         Wunderbar!    Wonderbra! 

The really sad thing is, there's so many clowns around at the moment this song could be applied to, apart from The Most Obvious Clown Of Them All.   

Oh, and TV Smith sounds so much like Mike Scott I wonder if they're time-sharing a set of vocal cords... not to mention a conscience, world view etc...

So, here's and old one but a good one, to go with the general mood, and I found a clip someone made for it, which shows so well the side that's never paraded around in the national narratives, yet is the reality of so many...

Here are two very good songs from Australia, and I'm curious if people in other countries have ever heard them:

This song gives me chills, so beautiful...

And a completely different vibe. I have faint memories of seeing this band live in the 90s...
