I think that u r absolutely right about Shrek.....I love that movie. The best (only?) good thing Eddie Murphy has ever done.

I would place Shrek in my all-time top 20.

The CC can be far flung or left alone...........it's your choice.

It's been playing on my mind a lot.

Well ? No prizes for guessing Otis's choice.....

Ok. So I'm behind the times. I bought The Rising last week. I'd read mixed reviews and I'd heard people commenting that it 'sucked' and worse, that it was exploitative. Excuse my french...but.....What absolute bollocks! I cannot believe that anyone can diss an album that has songs like these. I mean...

Goddamn it CopFan. Now I know why I always liked you when everyone else wanted you dragged under the water by a mermaid and drowned!!!!!!!!!!! Sweet Pear is cool and the guitar break is cooler. Hail to the Thief ??? Hail to the Copster!!!!!!!!!!! JD Ps.....I'm with you on the free speech thing as we...

Otis will not be returned to the board until somebody pays the ransom.

A bottle of JD, a decent cuban cigar and an Indian takeaway should do the trick!

Why is it that I never see beautiful women, such as those posted here, when I go to an EC gig ?? Usually 70% of the audience are overweight, balding and wear dodgy moustaches and comfy 'elastic waistband' slacks (that's just the women!) I mean, I'm a happily married man with a life partner (don't u ...

Otis and I met up last night at Lloyd Cole's great gig in Birmingham. It was a real pleasure to meet Otis, who looks a little like I thought he would, but even more pleasant, interesting and unassuming than I could have realistically expected. It was even more of a bonus that he is not an insane int...

arrrrr...Love is such a great way to beat down the walls of anger and division.

I have to say that whilst they are both old 'classics', I am sick up to my back teeth of both of them. If I never hear either of them live again, it will be too soon. What is the bloody point of either of them in concert. Unless he plays a kipper with chopstick, he can't possibly do anything new wit...

I do very much love Sweet Pear. The fan Doofster writes: Elvis actually intended this to have a nod to 'Don't Let Me Down'. The song is actually about Cait o'Riordan's indecision in the early days of their relationship which led to Cait frequently aborting their relationship and going back to her ow...

Belgians?

Hercule Poirot - do fictional characters count ?

I'm voting for Blair, closely followed by Thatcher.

............also........I'm not a great fan of Spooky, which contains one of the worst lyrics Elvis has written (IMHO)..you know...the buckle my shoe bit - awfullly weak for Elvis afficionados. Right up there with "you like coffee and you like tea...much more than you like me"

Episode of Blonde from the List
My Little Blue Window or Daddy Can I Turn This ? from the album.

taste eh ?

London next Sunday is sold out :cry: Struggling to make Brum on the Tuesday and so I may have to try and get to Brighton fter a day in Portsmouth in 2 weeks time. Ihave to say that whilst I love all his stuff, I agree that EP is better than any of his solo albums. I'd recommend that you buy Love Sto...

Otis - Just seen the details of the current tour. Think I'll try and catch him in London on next Sunday. I'll let you have review.

SLC.....on the contrary, you should try more to post whilst drunk.

posting whilst drunk is always the most interesting

Maybe this is sacrilege... maybe not I think Radiohead have become a bit of a parody of themselves. Pablo Honey was ok. I still love The Bends. I kinda still enjoy parts of Ok Computer, but do feel I've outgrown it now (always preferred The Bends anyway). However, I just couldn't get into Kid A and ...

Why I Love Country Music is sooooooo damn good..

Love the Avatar Otis....and so very appropriate!

I seem to recall that two of them were 'Hope you're Happy' and 'Uncomplicated' - what was the other ?

Human Hands by a 1000000000000000000000000'00000000000000000000 light years.

Although I do like the others too.

Otis Lloyd was on five live today (i missed it). he's also on the Jonathan Ross Show tomorrow morning and is popping up in various places to promote his new album 'Music in a Foreign Language' (Sanctuary). I hear that he's reinvented himself as a nu-folkster, but you can hear a bit on the Ross show ...
