Another old bit of ramblings from me in the Uk so U dont have to B. tAtUs new album is out soon. This is the one that all and sundary were getting in a tissy about because Richard was apparently either producing it or sommat. Well let me telll you all that there is no apparent mention of R in any of the albums pre-release build up even tho the reports are that some mega artists helped to do this album all names mentioned bar Rs so either he didnt do it or once again the famous "Lets not advertise the Cs "curse has struck again. Any of you guys seen the film Brokeback Mountain yet?? I keep seeing it advertised & at 1st took no notice but its now caught hold of me & its my this years "Gotta See" the soundtrack is sommat else to. I could hear (in a snippett) a beautiful bit which would have soooooo fittted Karen. Been scaling the charts for any sign of a Cs chart re-entry....Nowt...shame. Feb 4th draws near & I while be having my Cs day playing all their songs...well until Freddy Kruger next door comes a knockin & then will pretend 2 B out. Normally one of our radio Cs friendly station plays a tribute to them on this day too so lets hope....I want 2 C some chart action again. On the " A&M" website page which I was lookin at the otherday I noticed that in the "artists on A&M" section someone had now put Carpenters (Eventually) where B4 they wernt even mentioned and I can only assume that someone in the know got a real hump over this & did sommat about it. anyway loved the sarky way it was done. Thats all folks...Tune in last week & miss next weeks episode of......Ok ok ok I got this bit from the Muppet Show LP. carps1000 who lives in the UK so U dont have to.

Hi Carps100,

I saw "Brokeback Mountain" about a month ago just before the holidays and was deeply moved by it. Karen's rendition of "Desperado" would fit perfectly well with the dramatic, and sometimes spare, score. I was in awe of the grand orchestration and pining guitar solos that accompanied the sweeping cinematography of the majestic landscapes. This is a great movie, and I would recommend it highly!

I haven't seen "Broke Back Mountain", although the reviews on the movie have been excellent. I like GoodOldDreams' idea of "Desperado" on the soundtrack. What a wonderful and powerful song - sung flawlessly by Karen. This is easily one of Karen's very best vocal performances.

I'm glad to hear that Carpenters are now listed on the artists roster on the A&M site. Gee Carpenters should have been listed since day one.

I did some research and found some information on the new Tatu album. Then I went out and bought it. The album is called "Dangerous And Moving" it was released about three months ago. Sting plays bass on a song named "Friend Or Foe". Richard Carpenter did the strings arrangment for a song called "Gomenasai" - it's a very pretty song. As we can see Richard's contribution to this album was small - arranging the strings for one song - but it's still great to see Richard working on various projects.
