What Choons Yi Listening To?

For anyone remotely interested in piping, this afternoon is the first leg (of 2) of the Breton Bagad championship. Basically it's pipe bands with an added instrument (the bombarde), more percussion and sometimes other instruments (clarinets, etc.). There are. 16 groups competing this afternoon with about 10 minutes between groups as they reconfigure the stage. Live stream here.

Pretty sure it was Shame. Heard it on the radio again a few days later and assumed it was a minor hit for them. A good performance from them at Hampden anyway.
Stones were brilliant by the way. They had asked fans to list the songs they would like to hear and apart from a couple from their latest album that is what we got - a pure singalong night of nostalgia to warm the cockles of your heart.
 
Ach I’m listening tae it again. Fuckin brilliant it is though.Get the heidphones on and give it a listen.

My youngest is a metal head but is getting right into blues music. Loves chuck Berry and its great he's listening to all kinda music. Most of his mates listen to rap which leaves me cold bar the likes of Eminem and buggy who ain't bad. Going to see the undertones on Friday then me and my boys going to see Sabbaton next month. Bruce at murrayfield also and the beat feat dave wakeling the following week. Life would be shit without great tunes IMHO.

"Life would be shit without great tunes IMHO."

It really would. Music is one of life's great pleasures. Recently though I've been seeing just how much the wrong music can make you angry. As I'm a (trying hard to recover) alcoholic, the wife and I try to stay away from the noisier bars over here and often visit nice outdoor cafes or spas. You'd think these places would encourage peace and quiet but no. As soon as they get a few customers in it starts..... Either some arse playing an hour long jazz piano piece or Adelle screaming her fucking lungs out. It's enough to drive you to drink! 😡😡😡
 
Bowie! Superb, but like a lot of bands I tend to prefer the early stuff. Thought I'd make myself a 10 song Bowie playlist on Spotify. Plenty Bowie fans on here I think, how would it compare with yours?

Suffragette city.
Unwashed and somewhat slightly dazed.
Cygnet committee.
Oh you pretty things.
Life on Mars.
Fill your heart.
Drive in Saturday.
The prettiest star.
Lady grinning soul.
Young Americans.

Got to say Jack, your knowledge of music, and the breadth of it, is absolutely remarkable. (Although some remarks you may not appreciate :gigglle: )

But I take my hat off to you, such knowledge can't have been easy to accumulate nor can it be easy to post sensibly at 3.27 a.m..
You (and most others) will readily understand that posting sensibly is something I can only aspire to.

Thanks Doc, I've always been obsessed by music.
I loved the Beatles when I was a very young kid and was given a guitar as a present.
When i strummed it the Beatles songs didn't come out it so I smashed the front in and used it as a sledge.
I continue to be unable to play the guitar well to this day but no longer make them into sledges.

P.S. 3.27am the bastion of the man with no work the next day.
I was mulling over the shoeing Hibs had sustained earlier.
 
Like you, I have no work to get up for.
I see that as just reward for toiling for several decades. Mrs Shrink sees it as a sign of a lazy bastard.
No point in having a disagreement over a minor issue which to be fair is up for debate when we can bicker over so much more.
Many young fellas admired the Fab Four and sought to emulate them. Some succeeded, I’m thinking Oasis may be influenced in some way for instance.
Others may have failed, although not many could have been the size of a small elf and been able to use a broken guitar as a sledge.
Are you sure it wasn’t a cello, or maybe even a double bass which would explain your failure at playing lead guitar but relative success at sledging?

I too enjoy a bit of sledging, although I hope that’s not a euphemism for something tasteless.
 
Just back from seeing These Wicked Rivers , superb night with cracking support from Gorilla Riot & She Burns Red , gonna listen to them on Spotify on now

I was a huge OMD fan and saw them in concert 5-6 times, including when they had the Hibs supporting Weirs (of Peristalsis Brothers fame) on brass.

They did eventually go downhill though.

as the song above demonstrates :giggley:

I liked their early albums and saw them once.
Think I got off the bus after the 5th album in the mid 80's.

Condolences mate, I lost a sis too who grew up not far from Mhall.

Was she an older or younger sis?

Think on the good things.
