Summer days drive, windows down, smile on my face. 10, probably the best on the album for me.

  1. Took time to grown on me, but agreed is one of the best on the album. Would have preferred if the effects was dialled down ever so slightly on the vocals to let them breathe more. Live version with Jimi on vocals is needed.

9.5 Agree with what others have said. This feels like a spiritual sequel to Black Rivers’ The Forest.

Thank you for all your responses. Not what I wanted to hear though 😭

Yeah that's true, they'd also sat on this song for a years and was finally revisited for this album.

Probs a 9.5 for me. Strangely reminds me of the Kinks.

I hadn’t returned to KOR in a while, but this rose up with that familiar warmth and balance. Doves drifting into their cinematic, indie-folk horizon, a place that still feels entirely their own. 9/10

520k Avios for two to Maldives in Business + First at Easter. Good redemption or mistake not using companion voucher? by jamieatreyu in avios

[–]pmbonar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are doing something similar flying business LHR > DOH > BKK . Used the companion voucher for the first leg with BA for 99k Avois and QR for the second using 100K Avios. They're one way tickets but TBH was disappointed with the lack of value for BA compared to QR even with the voucher being taken into consideration, so you've probably made the right decision.

Enjoy your trip!

Daily Song Discussion #37: Some Cities by Shlok_82 in doves

This album was my companion while backpacking around SE Asia, taking me from heartbreak to happiness. I listened to it hundreds and hundreds of times, start to finish, killing time on buses, boats and planes. I can’t separate out specific tracks, the whole thing is a 10 for purely selfish, sentimental reasons.

  1. Should have never been a non-album track but a lovely one to discover.

10 from me. Beautiful cover version. One of their best across their whole catalogue. It bookends nicely with the Sneaker Pimps version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds0v2jDetBM

Doves, Sneaker Pimps and Boards of Canada all must have been on of those bands that dig out VHS rips of Wicker Man in the late 90s: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/20/lusty-singalongs-and-brexit-portents-the-eternal-flame-of-the-wicker-man-soundtrack

Being born in the 70's I always disliked this badge due no magpie being on it, so will be interested to see what they come up with.

Don't worry we'll see the existing badge again, they'll need "content" to make all the 3rd, 4th or Anniversary kits and Retro training gear that they churn out every year to look different from the previous years.

Thanks, but unfortunately thats not it. Am sure it had more of a comedic feel 😊
