Damn, I didn't think anyone would get that.

So confident that I ate the battenburg, sorry.

"Once upon a time I was falling in love / but now I'm only falling apart."
A line from whose 1983 No1 ?

Easy-peasy, just a jam tart for this one

Upgrade to an almond slice if you know who wrote it without google.

total eclipse of the heart by bonnie tyler.

try the version by the dan band. its different and very good. but not for kids

and it was written by the master songwriter who wrote bat out of hell. he was also a pretty good artist in his own right.

jim steinman

i'll be honest, only reason i knew he wrote this was ken bruce asked it on popmaster a week or two ago

I had his album - Bad for Good, very Meat Loafesque (or should that be Meat Loaf was very Steinman).

The artist that did his album cover also did the artwork for Bat out of Hell and Deadringer.

rock and roll dreams come through is a top song and very 'bat out of hell'.

as you say the artwork is the same too.
didn't they have a bit of a bust up after bat out off hell?

Ooh you're good.

Anyway, I ate the almond slice too.

Max Bemis & the Painful Splits. It's proper ace.

anything about 140-150 bpm for me at moment

My top 5 albums of the year so far:

The National - High Violet
Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
Wolf Parade - Expo 84
Broken Social Scence - Forgiveness Rock Record

Can't get away from the Fenech-Soler album at the moment. Such a cracking album

Went to see Plan B last night. Quite a decent gig, especially liked the beatboxer that was a warm up act, very good.

My GFs dad likes Plan B and that totally puts me off him. I didn't like him in the first place but now he doesn't stand a chance.

Music for parents is Plan B.

I thought this, but I was convinced to go to it by a mate. I'm presume he's more "parent" music as for an encore he came out and sang Smokey Robinson songs and Otis Redding songs.
