Stereophonics

I came across The Stereophonics by acccident when a sample cd was attached to a copy of the Sunday Times magazine . I played it, liked it and got hooked.

Tracks that I especially like are "Billy Daveys daughter" off my least favourite album "Word Gets Around", "Lying in the sun", "Have a nice day", "Nice to be out" and "Rooftop" off the album "Just enough education to perform". The album "Performance and cocktails" has the excellent "Roll up and shine", "Hurry up and wait" , "I wouldn't believe your radio" and "A minute longer". The last album I have is my favourite "You gotta go there to come back", which is all brilliant. The fact that I seem to like the latest stuff more means I hope to be able to look forward to their forthcoming new album "Language. Sex. Violence. Other?" released on 14th March 2005.

Comments:

A strange empathy. 1) Totally agree with your comments about dumbed down media. Being an age where I now find BBC Radio 4 more relevant in the morning rather than R1 or R2 I constantly find that Humphreys & co on the today programme just ask the wrong questions. For example, ID cards: it's not that card that's the issue but what that leads to. 2) Stereophonics - I'm also a recent convert. My problem with music these days is exposure to a good selection but I've come across www.radioparadise.com, of the iTunes radio stations, which is excellent. For the first time in years I find myself frequently wanting to buy the music I hear.

Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is? Why don't you tell it like it really is? Before you go on home
