    Len if I said it, I probably read it or heard it somewhere, let someone else have it as there epitaph bud

    '' I said oops upside ya head, I said oops upside ya head...........''

    If it can be found and don't ask me to cos I'm rubbish at it, I would ask that it's OTO original thread only....... I'll also add I don't remember the incident Len, so won't lay claim to it
  4. Winnie :-)
    I like it, not keen on the harmonies mind, but within the context of the thread, isn't it just the unlucky one that was put in the spotlight by Ian?
  5. Winnie :-)
    Not easy to really answer your question though as you don't tell us where you have had these experiences, some folk have an experience at certain local nights and have not been to other places, they then right a statement about the scene , as i have said before, the scene is not just at the bottom of the garden, if thats the as far as some folk like to go then no problem but with a sweeping answer you will get some sweeping statements that don't mean much at all...

    last post unapproved, Beeks take it to PMs if you want to row with somebody please. Thanks Winnie

    JF was early 8Ts I think, so I stand corrected
  8. Winnie :-)
    Were they before Jose Feliciano then?
  9. Winnie :-)
    But would you rule out everything contemporary regardless? First bit of your comment, spot on IMO
  10. Winnie :-)
    Chalks I'm not advocating commercial stuff, per se, just that the quality of a record can't be judged on chart success alone. Very occasionally the public might like something we like, anyway it's only a discussion, couldn't have one without differing opinions
  11. Winnie :-)
    I don't think there's too much distress exhibited within the thread, pretty civilised from what I've read, differing opinions yes, but all discussed in the best possible taste
  12. Winnie :-)
    You've pinned me there Steve I know a bit of funk has crossed the divide, and I actually like it, I'm not arguing against it, all I'm saying is we can't have our cake and eat it. To be taken seriously as a progressive music scene, nothing should be ruled in, or out except on grounds of quality. Whatever happened to all those 'how do we attract new blood to the scene' threads that were so popular all those years ago
  13. Winnie :-)
    Are people championing Cee Lo, or just using him as an example, or a preference to funk. I take Chalky's point and your own re: underplayed records, it's an undeniable truth bit if ever the scene is to truly get to a definition of 'across the board', that's accurate it has to slacken the rope. IMO. It's already been loosened, with funk coming under the umbrella, what's so different about looking at contemporary artists if they have quality? It's generally accepted that Butch and Andy D have great taste, if they heard something 'of today' they liked and felt it fitted, would they not play it?
  14. Winnie :-)
    Sam was playing DJ Genesis, it was played all over the scene, as was Angie Stone? They were pretty impossible to avoid at the time, and I'd be amazed if we weren't in the same room at some time or other when both were played?
  15. Winnie :-)
    Chalks you're missing the point, you cannot set boundaries if you want to maintain a progressive environment and I don't think its a realistic argument to rubbish something just because it charted. When you set limits, all those underplayed tunes will eventually have been played, granted that will take some time, but that is the reality eventually, then the scene stagnates and just becomes a part of the 'retro' scene you're hoping to avoid.
  16. Winnie :-)
    Chalky leaving aside Cee Lo for a moment, if the soul scene is claiming to be a progressive one, then all avenues have to be explored. A record doesn't become unsoulful because it has charted, that creates boundaries, and if the stalwarts on the scene truly see it as a forward thinking movement then the only criteria should be quality, not era.
  17. Winnie :-)
    I'm glad you're wah wah is intact Dave's played me a few bits and pieces and I've liked all of them. I can see what Ian's talking about in the traditional sense of the word, but I'm also liking the stuff Dave's been treating me too. I liked that black aces record, except for the harmonies, just didn't think they were strong enough, but that's only my opinion
  18. Winnie :-)
    I've read Karen's page, she creams her pants as soon as someone touches a wah wah pedal Gotta say I'm more convinced by the funk argument at the moment, where's my CDs Dabott x

    Gene, can you let the mods deal with it please, thank you. Winnie

    That made me smile, I was only saying yesterday I wonder if it would be possible to work American wrestling into a thread, and wallop Cee Lo Green goes all Legion of Doom It is a live performance though, his voice is a lot stronger on his recordings, I realise it can be tweaked, but without live performances of some of northern's deities (there are obviousl exceptions) it's difficult to make comparisons IMO.
  22. Winnie :-)
    Seriously?? A thread about Cee Lo Green brings you to that conclusion how? Winnie
  23. Winnie :-)
    I liked the Aloe Blacc track as well, , but after having a little think about it I wondered if I'd been influenced by the video ie: no plush surroundings, gave it a more authentic soulful feeling? Moving that forward to Cee Lo, I think he's got a soulful voice, but does the hype surrounding him, the bling etc mean he wouldn't be taken seriously by a very discerning northern audience? Can poverty equal soulfulness?

    Are you Mick H's brother, you have the same surname

    Buy it now is different to having a reserve isn't it? Also if you still haven't got your money back, you can open a case with paypal. If you can be asked, you can have a conversation with one of their virtual advisors, then ask for a copy of what's been said. It may contain something useful.
