I’m just glad I’m not the only one!

I’ve spent many a trip from Reading to Edinburgh (and back) excercising my questionable vocal skills on various albums. It’s sad but the last time I travelled up to edinburgh, I managed a complete Radiohead marathon: all of Radiohead’s albums, back-to-back.

I totally agree with you: it’s a great way to pass away an 8 hour trip without dropping off. Maybe in the UK, us scots-living-afar have a greater tendency to be closet (or not so closet) lead singer wannabes than others? it’s a nice thought (probably not so much for my neighbours but meh)

Snow Patrol’s album is on my list as recommended by my brother (which means I’ll like it). Like I said though I only buy them 2 at a time so it’s next along with Air’s latest offering…

Trying to learn the Snow Patrol’s Final Straw as I type. Heard it anyone?

Hmmm, is this a Scot-Rock thread?

You’re not supposed to understand what Scottish (or to really [piss them off, Scotch) bands say.

It’s a on-up-man-ship thing.

Like when the welsh start spitting their national anthem.

Such joy.

Fancy a pint tomorrow Mr C or are you going to spurn yet another invite into the metropolis?

Honestly, I don’t know why I bother some time! Oh, wait a minute, yes I do…

And Sam, I don’t have any Pearl Jam albums so maybe I’ll have to buy some and see.

If it’s any consolation, I spent about 3 years singing “living out baby, living out baby” instead of “maybe now baby”…… (Deacon Blue, Real Gone Kid).

At least Ricky Ross annunciates clearly – I’d like to see you try to sing your way from start to finish through a Pearl Jam album….!

Neil, we need to work on your attention span…

And Steve, it was very difficult to not sing in front of you but I can assure you it was for your own good!
