This month, the main disc spinning in the Capp is The Polyphonic Spree, they're a 30 - 35 piece band that to be honest don't really fit in any genre. It's very uplifting "Wig in a box" is one of my faves. Only other CD's at the mo that make it into the car are Pendulum and Steve Winwood.

Steve Winwood of the Spencer Davis Group??

Grief - last time I saw them was at a University Ball in about 1968... Got one of their LPs though.....

Definitely a big spree fan myself. Together we're heavy is often found in the cappy's CD player.

Looking forward to the new album "the fragile army"

After hearing it on the radio and saw the TV advert for a ceratin Sony tv, I finally bought the album from which "Heartbeat" has been taken.

The album is called "Veneer" and I have to recommend it to all acoustic guitar lovers and players...

I think I know the one you mean Alex - lovely acoustic playing - the one where the balls all magically appear courtesy of Photoshop.

My brain's confusing it with the ask. com ad where the guy gets balloons, sandwiches, policemen to push the swing etc.

I don't watch much TV so it might be a while before I can see one or the other & properly differentiate between the 2 tunes.

That's not completely true having seen an advertising reel about the making of the Bravia ad.

Multi-coloured balls were used alongside many film cameras strategically placed along the road, down which the balls were rolled.

Fascinating stuff you find on SCORE - "It's all about the balls" apparently :roll:

Be careful though - a plug-in on the Sony ad page crashed my browser.

Just uploaded the new album from Gnarls Barkley... pretty mixed bag of tricks/ tracks. I was expecting more of the same from Crazy.

Just bought the new album by Muse (Black Holes & Revelations), and after just one listen I'm hooked! Definitely one to recommend :)
