in order i bought them, most recent at bottom

Heard R.E.M.'s new album, Accelerate, yet?

not yet, you ?

speaking of albums i saw BNL's new live CD "Talk to the Hand: Live in Michigan " had an extra DVD but still it was £20 so i might shop for a better deal yet

Yep, I've been listening to Accelerate all week, it's really good. Much more upbeat than ATS, there are some genuine rock songs on it!

That BNL Live CD/DVD is really good. £20 is a bit much though - I expect it's a bit cheaper online (I think I got it for about £12?)

oh awesome, yeh i guess ATS wasn't too upbeat, solid though, leaving new york is one of my all time REM faves. so what are your favuorite tracks from Accelerate ?

cool i'll keep looking and also hope to pick up BNL Are Men soon. plus Snacktime is out soon, though it says on wiki its aimed at kids, goes with a kids book or something.

Best tracks from Accelerate - how about 'all of them'? ;)

Hm.. well if I had to pick I'd go for the single, "Supernatural Superserious", the rocking "Man-Sized Wreath" and the surprising "Hollow Man".

BNL Are Men is definitely worth getting! Mm, I heard about Snacktime. Didn't realise it was coming out soon though. Not sure if I'll buy it - I might, for completion's sake, but I'm not expecting stuff on a par with their 'adult' work.
