One of their best - up there with 'Rise & Fall'.
'We Are London' is ace.
Just listening to it for the first time.
"'We Are London' is ace." - Yes, that was rather enjoyable.
Quote: Seefacts @ July 8 2009, 4:42 PM BSTI saw them live a few years back, they're brilliant.
And you get extra kudos points for being a girl who likes Madness.
I got bullied for being the only girl in school not obsessed with Take That/New Kids on the Block and having a Madness obsession!
Quote: EllieJP @ July 8 2009, 4:42 PM BSTGoing to listen to Madness now.
I have One Step Beyond on my hard drive too. Razor Blade Alley is great!

You old smoozer!
Quote: Seefacts @ July 8 2009, 4:46 PM BSTYeah, Madness were the first proper band I got into, when I was about 10.
10? You started early. I didn't properly start following bands until I was a teenager. And the first to get such attention from me was Elastica, whose first album is brilliant.
I was 10 when I bought my first singles.
Michael Jackson's Beat It 
and
Tracy Ulman's Breakaway

Ellie - you are cool, well done. And you have nice hair.
Awww thanks! I like my hair too! It's natural you know?

I was around that age too, my first paid for single was Right Said Fred and Deeply Dippy.

"That Close" is a standout track for me too.

Well, it was only them.
And The Lightning Seeds and maybe Greenday at 11.
Beyond that, I still bought the occasional dodgy pop single.

Yeah, right . . .

I think that trumps my Tracy Ulman single.
Quote: Seefacts @ July 8 2009, 4:56 PM BSTYeah, right . . .
I swear it is. I've never dyed my hair... proud of that! I don't know a single other woman who hasn't dyed their hair.

Were you cryogenically (sp?) frozen between the age of 10 and 11?

Yes.
Cool.
I'm Alive - Tom Jones (from the album 24 Hours; really good so far)
