    RIP David Bowie

    Died at the age of 69, shocked me a little bit this one. Great musician and brilliant in Labrinyth! RIP a true legend.

    Best cover versions

    This tweet from a fellow Southend fan yesterday got me thinking... 582938081956929537 My answer was Lonnie Donegan's version of 'Rock Island Line' and also Blur's 'M.O.R.' which isn't officially a cover of Bowie's 'Boys Keep Swinging' but comes very close to the mark. Countless others though...

    What do you know about David Bowie?

    (Guardian quiz). http://www.theguardian.com/music/quiz/2013/dec/25/david-bowie-quiz-alexis-petridis Only 3/12 for me I'm afraid.Obviously I'm an absolute beginner.:sad:

    David Bowie - Connect Four

    Connect Four Was anyone else aware that David Bowie was involved in the development of the 70's MB game Connect Four? Or is this another case of Wikipedia spouting bolleaux?

    How whould you kill yourself????

    What with some recent threads on here, I feel this needs to be covered to be in keeping with the general mood!!! I would put on the some Bowie, drink copious amounts of Dalwhinnie eat a tub of pills and hope that I did not throw up during the night. How would you do it, so to speak???

  7. Shrimperzone to decide

    Ok, in response to Aberdeen's assumption that Queen/Bowie's Under Pressure can be classified as a one hit wonder and mine that it can't due to the obvious fact they've had plenty of hits apart, can it really be classifed as a "One Hit Wonder" or has the world gone mad with POLITICAL CORRECTNESS...

    Shrimper on Absolute Radio this morning

    A Southend fan called Steve was interviewed on the Christian O'Connell* show this morning. On for a couple of minutes and gave them a bit of a laugh with the 'Sea Sea Seasiders!' chant. Anyone know who it might have been? *Not my choice of station I hasten to add. Wife was the last person...

    Just one letter of the alphabet....

    Bit of a twist on Desert Island Discs here. You're stuck on the proverbial desert island, but can only take music by artists all beginning with the same letter. So if you go for 'Q' that'd be, for example, Queen, Queens of the Stone Age, Queensryche and, erm, Eoghan Quigg. You're also limited...

    Best cover songs??

    There have been some classic cover songs and some god awful ones, being a hugely obsessed Bowie fan i hate it when his songs are covered but i had to take my hat of to Nirvana when they covered Bowie's "The Man who sold the World" Also really liked Guns and Roses version of "Knocking on Heavens...

    Possible Dougie Freedman Songs

    I've had a look around for possible Dougie songs. Palace fans usually sing Who the let the Doug out! when he scores or the usual Walking in a Dougie wonderland (but we do that for Tilly) So got me thinking and humming and i can't seem to shake this out of my head. So if he scores i...

    Bear Grylls!

    I watched as he killed a yak and cut the poor animal to pieces before digging its liver out and eating it raw, and if that wasn't enough to put me off my lasagne he popped the eyeball out with his bowie knife and eat that as well. My question is, if you were hungry enough to kill a hoofed...

  17. 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die

    Just heard about this book that was published late last year - some strange choices and (IMHO) some glaring ommisions. That said, I own 293 of these and have heard a further 108 giving me a respectable total of 401. To be honest, dying would be a favourable option to hearing most of the others...
