What Choons Yi Listening To?

In all seriousness, that song had better lyrics than 99% of pop songs, albeit rendered in a ridiculous falsetto
 
Pop songs are just tunes for the masses. How many bands have had a great pop tune but the rest of the album is pony?

Fuckin Bonio and Geldof pontificating like any *&*^ wants to know what THEY think.

A good shoegazing tune wipes the floor with those dafties
 
Well hopefully they will leave the auld arthritic geezer alone. But I'll haud your jacket and maybe stick the boot in as you iron the fuckers out
To be honest, yours is probably the realistic appraisal.

As the good book says; the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

And getting weaker every year lol
 
I'm at the chemist and crematorium more than I'm at the football these days
 
right Jimmy, it’s good night from me with this

You may sneer, but then for the sake of international relations I’m overlooking the fact you have outted yourself as smiths man
 
Aw no. Neil Diamond could write a tune like. Karaoke staples some of his stuff
 
My favourite Primal Scream song.
Seen them at the Corn Exchange when Kevin Shields was with them as well....

Shields mixed that song as well as another on the album and co-produced one of the other tracks
 
Just to piss off a few folk in the "anti" thread. 😈

Cheesy af bit I love this. When I was nipper working nights this was a highlight in the set list. Which would involved severe punishment if you talked over Atomsphere by JD and where the dawn would be greeted by Good Morning Britain by Aztec Camera

Got this one sent to me this morning.

Firstly, I thought "I want candy" was a Bow Wow Wow original. Second, it was always put around that Adam and the Ants pioneered the two drum approach. Third, that dance will get you going in the morning, i've been doing it for half an hour already :happydance: :read:

I’m boring myself with this maudlin pish. Much more of this and I’ll be taking out a subscription to the guardian.

And so, imo, the most joyous and life affirming pop vid ever, and oh those old school trainers

It may well be but McLaren was a wrong 'un and no mistake. Read Simon Reynolds' Rip It Up And Start Again about the history of post-punk. The chapter about him and the formation of Bow Wow Wow is vomit-inducing. IMO he's another "national treasure" like Peel who gets a far too easy ride.
 
By the way, for technophobic oldies like me, can someone explain how you post these YouTube video clips on a mobile phone?
Listening to Colourbox but no idea to post the track. 🤷‍♂️

I absolutely love that album unreservedly. Most folk prefer Funeral but this is the best album about growing up in the suburbs ever written.
 
One for Burns day.

OK. So another slightly off-topic from techno Grandad here. How do you put emojis in when you Like a post rather than just a normal thumbs up? 👍
