So, what songs, bands, singers make you think of someone on the board as soon as you hear them or sth about them? Thought it'd be nice to post.


"The Remedy" by Mmmmmraz & "5 Days" by Patrick Nuo will forever remind me of Rosie  :D

The rest of the Mraz CD reminds me of all the NESSAholics who went to London, esp Danny cos he was the one who gave it to me  :)

Ev reminds me of Kev, who else?  :wink:

MM = nikkee

Tori Amos makes me think of Si so much cos before hearing Si talk about her I didn't know she existed. Then I saw Scarlet's Walk in a CD shop and bought it without knowing what it was gonna sound like (basing myself in Si's music taste!  :) )

ECDL now reminds me of Zee! Funny cos they're Spanish! But they do

Completely Off-Topic / For friends to read...
« on: May 25, 2003, 02:43:04 pm »
and for non-friends to ignore  :wink:


I just wanted to leave a small note to all of you... I have already been pretty much absent for a while, but now my first year finals are coming and I have to give 100%, or even more, if I want to pass, esp the first few exams. That means most of my schedule will consist of classes, studying & sleeping. It's not just my pass that I'm risking here but something bigger & better as well (some of you know already and I guess understand); it's been my motivation for a little while now and since I want it to happen so badly I am gonna have to give even more than I have been giving... which means I'll have to cut my internet exposure to minimum level. I already miss many of you and I'm not able to check or write PMs as often, but I wanted to let you know it's for a good cause  :wink:  and hey you'll have me back in 3 weeks at the most, it's not like I'm leaving... (ha, you can't get rid of me that easily! it's almost been a year and a half already!  :P ) I'll still try to come every now and then during exams, but since I can't promise I thought of warning for you not to worry about your favourite Spaniard (ok ok I know Enrique Iglesias & Penelope Cruz are fine, but admit it, they don't beat me, I'm top of the list!). So wish me luck guys, cos I'm gonna need it! Much love & hugs to all,


Nerea

Other Musicians / David Gray
« on: May 17, 2003, 08:47:41 am »
This singer/songwriter from Manchester became rather popular in Europe after the release of his 4th album White Ladder. He has released 7 albums to date: A Century Ends, Flesh, Sell, Sell, Sell, White Ladder, The EPs 92-94, Lost Songs and his latest record, out since October '02, A New Day At Midnight. He's now in New Zealand on tour, but will be touring the US later this year. He's really worth checking out, esp songs like

Babylon
Please Forgive Me
Sail Away
Say Hello Wave Goodbye
This Year's Love

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / V on "Be Not Nobody"
« on: May 01, 2003, 11:13:22 am »
This is what Vanessa told VH1 about BnN:

"Be Not Nobody is where I am at in my life right now. I know I'm only 21 but I had to go through a lot at that dance school. I lost a lot of who I was. I fell apart and it was really hard. You feel completely alone, like no one cares. Writing this record let me recapture who I am. It is summed up in the title Be Not Nobody. You need to feel comfortable in your skin and do whatever you need to do for yourself, to heal or to grow."

Link to the site I found it on is here

I know this is a bit old, sorry if you'd already read it but I thought it was worth posting just in case.

Other Musicians / Granian
« on: April 25, 2003, 04:15:58 pm »
A short description I got from a site (me is too lazy to write anything myself):

"Garen Gueyikian armed with his guitar, created songs with his aggressive twist on guitar play that has become his signature style. Releasing two albums on their own label, Granian has sold over 20,000 copies within the last five years. Granian has developed a large and dedicated fan-base by touring across the country, playing over 120 shows per year. Today, Granian performs with an incredible intensity giving the audience a show from beginning to end. Powerful new songs show Garen’s progression and growth as a songwriter. Granian evolves as Garen continues to write, record, and perform new music that has a powerful affect on his audience"

You guys should check out some of their songs, both from the studio albums and the acoustic one. They're amazing. My fave so far are:
Whole Again
Contagious
Far From Saved
(more will be added as I d/l  :wink: )
