Olympics

Olympics

So Underworld are doing the music for the opening ceremony to the London Olympic Games next year…

Let’s all get trashed and have a rave - only in the UK :smiley:

I’ve just listened to Dubnobasswithmyheadman all the way through for the first time since I bought it … in 1993

Classic album if you’ve never heard it - still play Cowgirl now …

wow!

btw nicky i bought that album when it came out :wink:

suweet!

Amazing album from and amazing band.

Also pleasing is that Coldplay will be opening the Olympics. Now, i know what people on DJTT think of Coldplay (middle of the road indie blah blah) but, they are amazing live.
It will be a awesome start.

And with Elbow writing music for the BBC and Damon Albarn involved its great to see that UK Olympics are making use of the wealth of great music that UK produces as the unique selling point for the Olympics.

In these times of economic pressure theres no way anyone will ever match the opening of the Chinese Olympics, not even close but what the UK does better than most is produce amazing bands.

Pity that Joss Stone is involved though, daft hippy bint:smiley:

Yeah I get stick for liking Coldplay but they write good songs - hate Elbow though - bored me to tears at Leeds this year

Agree 100% Karlos. Even without the current austerity china would be hard to match. Saying that I thought the Chinese opening ceremony was WAY over the top!! Still no-one has topped having Tiesto dj through the entire opening to the Athens games!! :wink:

I used to really dislike Coldplay but ever since Viva la vida I’ve grown quite fond of them!!
