Around The World by Plastiscene is my Neglected Gems song of the day. If you like it, you'll love the whole album (Seeing Stars). Bamajohn will gladly echo this recommendation. If I had to be honest, Around The World is not one of my top 3 on Seeing Stars but it is definitely the most well crafted, concise song that was meant for radio (why didn't we hear it?); but listening to that album for the first time; well I'd never heard anything like it! Tim dug that album out after discovering one of the album's tunes on Cutting Edge radio! Thanks Tim! Tim listened to Cutting Edge radio out of Columbis, GA from right after he left high school in 1993, to sadly it's demise in 2000. This was roughly like the tv run for MTV's 120 Minutes. In fact The Cutting Edge would first come on while 120 Minutes was on late on Sunday night's so Tim would have to chose one or the other; he'd usually chose Cutting Edge radio because he didn't want to miss taping anything good and I'd watch 120 Minutes and fill him in later or tape what he missed! Tim has dozens and dozens of mix tapes from that era, which he was able recently to make a cd of his favorite (mine too) which was the first one he made! It was such a fun time finding new, fresh music!

Mrs Powerman loves the C.D. and her favourite is Sleepwalker's choice, "If I Ever Leave This World Alive" - I hope their album's good Sleepwalker, as I've bought Mr P it for her birthday later this month Personally, I can't get Smiley's choice "Pretty Ballerina" out of my head - brilliant Lets face it, they're all great.

Thats great Powerman! I'm glad Mrs P likes If I Ever Leave This World Alive! I presume you bought the Drunken Lullabies album? In my opinion its excellent, but then again all of Flogging Molly's albums are great! - I'm sure she'll love it, you'll have to let me know I really like Pretty Ballerina too And your right Powerman - all the tracks are great! I've been looking into some of the bands I hadn't heard before, I may have to invest in some new albums! BTW your choices were great, I especially like You & I by Graham Coxon

Yes, you should wait Powerman! If you're curious you can always check out a couple of tracks on YouTube I think that was the second Flogging Molly album I ever bought and I still listen to it a fair bit

Personally, I can't get Smiley's choice "Pretty Ballerina" out of my head - brilliant Lets face it, they're all great. I agree, great stuff all around. Thanks everyone for such a great CD. Pretty Ballerina came out when I was a young girl when I was studying ballet. I used to have one of those little jewelry boxes with the toy ballerina that spins on top when you open it. Would have been the perfect song for it. Always one of my favs and so reminiscent of a Kinks song as well.

I'm glad your enjoying the Cd Smiley, Pretty Ballerina is a great song - love it! It does have a bit of a Kinky quality to it BTW, I had one of those jewellry boxes too when I was young, I'm sure I still have it somewhere. I agree, that would be the perfect song for it!
