WHAT SHOULD THE BAND LISTEN TO ON TOUR?
Well we thought you might want to suggest tracks, then we'll make a mixtape of the best suggestions and post the mixtape here. Can you help us?

Arguably a similar thread to our what to cover, but probably a lot less tragic

IAMX
Nine Inch Nails

I'm really liking all the ideas (well, most - if you know what I mean *rolls eyes*) on LAR's FB page. And Kate, I really hope they do play Plastic Bertrand - such a fine tune!

[alkalinejamie]

David Bowie

[niwo]

i really had to stop myself from writing even more songs down there XD

[rougevelvet]

Ca Plane Pour Moi is the perfect song for jumping around spasmodically and getting revved XD

Hey everyone - team LAR has asked for any H&H ideas to come to him by Saturday - so now is your last chance to add any ideas that haven't been included on here or on the FB thread

Eta: they'd particuLARly like to hear ideas for individual songs, rather than artists/albums xxx

NIN - Heresy
NIN - Head Like A Hole
iamx - This Is England
QOTSA - Little Sister
Prodigy - Omen

x posted to the facebook thread as I guess thats the proper place for it

[stellar]

Rococo - Arcade Fire
Just Like You Imagined - NIN
Terrible Lie - NIN (live version of 'And All That Could Have Been')
IAMX - The Great Shipwreck of Life
You've got the love - Florence and the Machine
All my friends - LCD Sound System
Hard Times - Patrick Wolf
The lost art of Keeping a Secret - QOTSA
Burning Down the House - Talking Heads
Shelter from the storm - Bob Dylan

Edit:I'm listening to 'Stuck inside of mobile with the Memphis Blues again' by Dylan and would probably recommend it instead on the strength of it's pure lyrical wackiness. Haven't listened to it for a long time - forgot just how awesome it is.

Thanks everyone for your input and some LARvely song ideas - I'll cobble them all together and send them off to Team LAR now

The band will listen to seven compilations. I have personally seen to this. The best poem wins the set. Pens ahoy...

[rougevelvet]

Intrigued, I shall see what I can come up with!

Here is my first attempt at poetry - a haiku, based on something that actually happened to someone I know

No more tweets, she mourned
As she saw her phone flush down
The bowl – a blessing.

Mmm, maybe this version is better:

No more tweets, she mourned
As her phone flushed down the bowl
A blessing to us

aargh! can I post multiple poems? 0.o I have dozens of poems!

Ignored

who's caring
that I'm not beautiful?
no staring
no cat calls

and I'm so tiny
I'm so huge
and if I'm trying
I'm refused

but I'm not what you see
I'm shining on the inside
I'm better than you'll ever be
better than you'll ever find

you don't care
'they' are defined
it isn't fair
but I'm declined

and I'm no one
and I'm the best
and I'm done
and I'm no less.

this is an old (bad) one, but it got lots of reviews, so...
I’m holding water in my hand
Protecting my unknown land
Fighting a battle that never began
It was always there… don’t know what I can
I scream, but there’s no air
Shackles hanging loose around the chair
I dare you to kill me
To hurt me
To shape me
My whole life is a fake smile
A smile, a lie
To hide
The cry
