Advantages: Lightning seeds with techno sounds Disadvantages: Not their best effort
...This album opens with the early brit pop sound mixed with keyboard based track "Life of Riley" , the song best known for being on "Match of the day" as the goal of the month competitions music during the early 90's, talks not of football. The song is a song about the Ian Broudies's (the guy on the album cover and lead singer) son Riley. A soft vocal performance that has you wanting to hear more, but yet not quite blown away to the extent where you'd go out and buy the album for the one song. The lyrics are nice enough but their no Dylan, just like simple easy poetry. 8/10.
The second track "Sense" takes a more uptempo feel and almost dreamy music that sits well with the lyrics and vocals. The song again shows the simple style the Lightning Seeds used of a simple "Brit-pop" formular, with guitar's soft lead vocals, and they mix it...

...I recently went on a cultural girlie trip with a friend to Paris. I was left to do all the booking. I was looking for a reasonable hotel, near a metro stop, which included breakfast. I came across the Hotel International on various travel sites and it seemed fairly highly rated so I booked us in for three nights.
LOCATION:
The hotel is located 6 Rue Auguste Barbier in the 11th Arrondissement. The nearest Metro stop is Garcourt which was a two minute walk away and it was a five minute walk to Republique which gives good links to other lines. It's not really central enough to avoid the Metro and walk to the attractions but it was located so close to a stop that it seemed ideal.
PRICE:
Prices vary depending on size of room and season. There are singles, doubles and triples available. We paid Euro254 for the whole time...
