'W**k' I think sums it up rather nicely.

Bee Gees on more kinds of medication than I feel comfortable with. :von:

Thanks to the "Web" ;-) I am playing this very track at this very moment - and what a total pile of Carp!

"Girls Aloud" would have done a much much better job!

It's made by machines, for machines. I'm amazed at how anyone can so thoroughly remove all the emotion from a song.

Thanks to my current lack of a tele-vision-thing and my deep detest towards radio stations I have not heard it yet. ;D

Back to my book ... "Florian Illies: Anleitung zum Unschuldigsein" (Florian Illies: A Guide To Unconsciousness)

Oh, and I am just listening to "New Gold Dream" ... Girls Under Glass cover version though.

Same here. I've never heard it and don't wish to.
(Currently listening to a Hong Kong radio station, a 12-hour radio tribute to Anita Mui who sadly passed away at the end of December.)

It's a file-sharing facility, like Kazaa and, once upon a time, Napster.
Here's a download site:
http://www.soft-download.co.uk/winmx.html

Now, you do know I'm not actually inciting you to download anything from WinMX, don't you? It is, I'm told, illegal in some way.

Or go to http://www.drownedinsound.com/bands/6263.html and have a listen in RealAudio while reading about the band.

At least it's original, which is more than you can say about certain other versions.

An EBG speaks:-
Comfortably Numb, is David Gilmour of The Pink Floyd's finest solo on the red Fender Stratocaster to date, but stay tuned...
Cover versions do not even come close and I include TSOM in that statement, Scissor Sisters are a gay joke.

first time I heard it I thought it was groovy (but I didn't get beyond the intro). Hmmm. Yep, it's pants. Maybe it'll inspire Von to get on TOTP pronto to show 'em how it should be done. :von:
