Hey! Just wondering if anybody else here got the Simple Kid album? I can't get over how good it is. He's supporting The Coral this Friday in the Olympia too. Can't wait! Stevo.

I bought a single of his, Drugs. Pretty good alright.

There is a song on the album called Staring at the Sun and I couldn't get it out of me head for weeks. Thought I was going to go mad!

A poster boy for mental illness, then?

Yes indeed! Just like 2 unlimited in that sense but in no other.....

Ummm. Right. Come again?

Anyone else going to see the Coral this Friday night???

The album is great - parts of it are really derivative, but he somehow manages to make the songs his own. I went to see him in whelans and he playes a great set. Very stripped Down stuff live - two acoustic guitars , Drum machines and Harmonica was about it, but still great delivery o fthe songs. Looking forward to hearing more.

Indeed! I was at the Whelans gig myself and it was pretty cool. Very intimate. I especially like the way he had to work the drum machine himself! He usually has a band backing him but it was just himself and his brother in Whelans. Anybody have any idea why The Coral cancelled the show on Friday night?

Singer had larinjitis...eh whatever way ye spell it!

I think we should all agree to replace the word "laryngitis" with the phrase "a dose of the Dylans", thus saving us all a lot of hot spellchecker action.
