Ocean Colour Scene: Travelers Tune
So, a off we go a traveling. We’re heading off to warmer climes (a whole 20 degrees warmer than where I’m at now), where the fluffy clouds play along the long blue oceanic horizon and where the sea breeze is as fresh and tastes as salty as a crisp bag of gourmet chips. [...]
Mando Diao: Down In The Past
Mando Diao’s early albums sound very brit-pop, almost to the point that I think I am listening to an early Oasis B-Side.

Oasis: Digsy’s Dinner
“What a life it would be
If you would come to mine for tea
I’ll pick you up at half past three
We’ll have lasagna”
In case you were wondering, it’s lasaaaaaaaaaagna. And, if I was serving lasagna and you weren’t invited round for dinner, you probably would be green with envy, because I make a pretty [...]
