Only Region 1 has the restored mono track (same with Sleeping Beauty). R2 only has 5.1 remix.

Just received some Prince of Persia prizes that I won in a contest. A t-shirt (XL), I think the game (havent checked the disc yet), a bonus CD with trailers and crap, a small art-booklet, a small comic, and a limited edition cool looking small Canvas painting of the Prince.

edit: it might be a soundtrack CD, and not the game.

Veronica Mars R4 complete series

This show is loads better than it has any right to be, since it's a Warner Teenie soap essentially. The high calibre of writing and addictiveness of the storylines is the meat of this series.

Yeah, you keep telling yourself that... (!)

You're on the internet: use it.

I'm not sure a textual description of some music can compare with listening to the music itself on a site like Amazon or MySpace.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 09 Apr 2009, 22:28

MySpace yuck! Amazon only offer clips. Spotify, Deezer or Last.fm are the future but good idea I'll track her down on Spotify, which very possibly will be a serious threat to iTunes in the years to come.

I only wanted a "she sings rock/pop/whatever" answer. Oddly enough an article about her was only uploaded to the Beeb yesterday:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7987502.stm

Where does her name come from?

Spotify links:

Live Sessions EP: http://open.spotify.com/album/3g0wAEyM0v29mVVRSNPU3D
Fur and Gold (2006) album: http://open.spotify.com/album/4LZ4ZI3Vtx2ZhuQiupegcn
Two Suns (2009): http://open.spotify.com/album/7cj1dERc5yhFBqtxlRYGSe

edit: I'm speaking to "Two Suns" right now, pretty decent.

What makes you so sure she'll want to see you?

. Most gigs have bodyguards/door men to stop fans getting too close

Just googled it and apparently it's simply because the words sound unusual together.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 09 Apr 2009, 22:53

There a group on X-Factor last season (S5) called Bad Lashes who got told their name was similar to Bat for Lashes

Charade (1963) from CD-WOW

I'll post on the quality when I get it since as Brad says, there are lots of shite quality discs of Charade out there. However, CD-WOW are displaying the cover of the Universal release from 2005 which is supposedly good (anamorphic) but barebones.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 09 Apr 2009, 23:50

Thanks Gas. It's certainly unusual. I'm not sure I like it but hey it's just a name. I wonder if the album will hinder her becoming more successful, Natasha Khan is certainly a nicer sounding name.

Where did you buy the album from? The best I can find is £6.99 from CD WOW or BangCD, which are perfectly fine prices.

Really Grim? I didn't spot that one

gasteropod yup Newcastle gig was tonight, very good it was as well, too good she sounds exactly like her albums! which is very, very rare indeed!

Try these videos to see why she is soo loveable musically one song from each album

the vids are either genius, or scary as hell!!!

Probibly the best song from each album as well it has to be said.

and as for bodyguards and all that, well nearly all the artists I go to see acctually want to meet their fans

many seem over the moon to talk to us. I did not meet her tonight as I waited a while after, but could not be bothered to wait to long as she could have been a hour at least, sometimes you know they are not coming out. Sometimes they run straight off stage to meet us

and pimp their stuff haha

Some of the bigger stars dont like coming out after concerts as they smell and are all sweaty etc..

but some have no shame at all I have met a few who stunk and were dripping with sweat and alcohol

which is nice when they wrap their arms around you for a photo

I think I got it from Amazon for like £7.99.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 10 Apr 2009, 01:38

I had the new album in my basket from CDWOW for £5.today

links and special £1 off day and a voucher would have made it £5

still its not as good as the first album, so get part 1 first I say

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 10 Apr 2009, 01:40

My mistake, it was from Play for £7.99 and a bonus downloadable live track, also used Quidco.

I think it's better than her debut album.

Crikey thats some praise

I think her first album is pretty much perfect.

Still I have only heard the second album once so far fully, and the live songs at the gig. May grow on me like the first album did
