What's the song being used in the advert?

Hey, I did a search on the lyrics - the ones I could make out anyway - and its come up with this:

Delta Sun Bottleneck stomp by Mercury Rev.

Who are mercury rev?!! Good track anyway.

Hello, was gonna ask the same question as I thought it sounded like mecury rev but hadnt heard this one of theirs before.

So that must be the right answer... off to track it down now

much love

It's Delta Sun Bottleneck Stomp by Mercury Rev.

It's from the album Deserter's Songs, which is an extremely good album. It was voted album of the year by NME when it was released.

Mercury Rev are an American band who came out of the alternative secene in America and were linked to grunge at one point. They've mellowed a lot over the years, and Deserter's Songs was their comeback album with a new lead vocalist. There follow-up albums 'All is Dream' and 'The Secret Migration' are also both well received, accliamed albums and definitely worth a listen.

I don't think Mercury Rev were ever linked to grunge. Their first 2 albums, with David Baker as vocalist, were experimental avant-rock, quite different to anything else at time, although there's been a long assocation with The Flaming Lips. Baker left (was sacked?) and Jonathan Donahue took over as lead vocalist for the 3rd album, 'See You On The Other Side', another album well worth a listen (some might find the first 2 too experimental).

I saw them in Cambridge touring 'Deserter's Songs' and they were magic. The next 2 albums weren't quite as good IMO and they seem to have run out of steam lately.

ahhh at last, someone smart has joined the thread. (no offence guys).

Yes i was, not sure if i should be on here talking to you guys, but i figured that as i havent been told NOT to talk to anyone on here, i will do so until instructed otherwise.

hopefully the profiles of us will go active on the site on sunday.

so are you a green person then?

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a look at the Science forum and see what you are missing - I'm sure you'll be a great asset to the general melee...

Haha you are now famous to a bunch of men called Kev and women with hair extensions!

Hey it's great to have someone who's nearly "famous" on the forum!!! I'm sure we'll all be quizzing you once it airs on Sunday...

Is it of good quality or is the other 496 hours not worthy of broardcasting?

Are there only two shows? I thought it was going to be a whole series.

On the website, they've put it down as:
C4 Sunday 2 Sep 9.00PM
C4 Monday 3 Sep 0.35AM
C4 Monday 3 Sep 9.00PM
C4 Tuesday 4 Sep 0.05AM

I presumed the really late showings were repeats...

OK - checked the listings:
Sunday to Wednesday - all at 9pm.
