Instead of dreaming of Monty's demise and his rendition of 'on ilkley moor bar t'at' becoming a thing of the past, let's have some culture for around 4 minutes.
 
Looking forward to hearing the full album from this mob. Just the three singles out so far. Mixing up techno, post-punk and prog-pop. Lots of sharp shifts in tempo and melody.

The band look like they should be running a vegan cafe with overpriced coffee, but they're young so I'm trying to not let that put me off.

This one sounds like a dance floor mash-up of Killing Joke and Cardiacs.

I really like the previous two singles All The Same and King of the Slugs too.
 
Listening to Mick Head’s new album for the third time today. It’s a stone cold classic. Saw him live last week and the whole band were absolutely at the top of their game. Brilliant

Not heard his latest album, but you’ve inspired me to.
Love Mick - from the Pale Fountains, through Shack, the Strands, to his latest incarnation with the REB.
I’ve only seen him live once, must’ve been the HMS Fable tour (1999 time), in London. It felt like I was the only person there not from Liverpool!
 
I’ve been doing a lot of driving recently and, thanks to Spotify, am able to find many artists and songs that I haven’t listened to recently and make the drive more enjoyable. Today was no exception as I found the album Robin Trower Live. Bass and vocals by Paisley’s very own, the late, great Jimmy Dewar who sadly left us in 2002. His voice was immense and truly soulful for such a wee guy. Fairly made my day listening to it again. Thanks JD.

It's a classic. The official #1 album of the Bounce after all.



I've got blue bollocks!

A Sheep On Drugs vibe there too - sounds promising.

One of my top ten, and while I like others better, I don’t think there’s a single album where I like as many of the tracks. It’s a belter.

NMTB and 'New Rose' by the Damned are the album and single were immediate and made the most instant impact on my teenage self.

Going along to the Apollo and other small venues several times a month from 1979-84 will never be beaten. The Fall, Skids, DEVO, Ramones, Sham 69, Rezillos, Jam, Undertones, Boomtown Rats, Siouxsie, Cramps, Jam, Undertones, Teardrop Explodes, Orange Juice, Gang of Four, Pere Ubu, Delta Five, Adam and the Ants, Bow Wow Wow, Specials, Selecter, Madness, Talk Talk, Simple Minds, Echo and the Bunnymen, Altered Images, Fire Engines, Vapors, PiL.... the list goes on.

There was never a better time for music IMO.......but everyone will have their own memories.....

I’m a few years too young to have been at those, but would concur with your assessment. Moreover, those old episodes of TOTP that appear on various cable channels, emphasise that even at the mass market end, the diversity of music wees all over today.

That’s not just an auld guy opinion either. My kids would both agree that today’s stuff is largely the same formulaic crap.

I agree with you. Even if I now sound like my parents did when I have the misfortune to hear a 'chart' radio station as I KNOW that I am not wrong.
For example, I have joiners in just now working in the living room and they have some bloody awful radio station on....say you, say me.....phil collins.....other guff. It appears to me that folk don't go out of their way to discover music the ways that we used to do.

Anyway, having seen the excellent Blancmange at the weekend I am upstairs in the office working through 16 cds of their back catalogue and various offshoots just now at a level that drowns out the insufferable garbage that is polluting the downstairs airwaves.

On another note, I am delighted to say that I have managed to secure tickets for all three upcoming LCD Soundsystem gigs at Barrowland in June and July . Flying solo on the 1st and 2nd July shows so if anyone of you dudes with impeccable taste want to meet up before let me know.

Cannae wait!

np : Blancmange 'Blanc Burn'

FFS!....just heard Fat Larrys Band 'Zoom' there between songs....which confirms my earlier opinion.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Angie Bowie impersonating Mick Ronson on the Bowie documentary when she says he should wear a gold lame suit.
 
Rewatching 'concert for George' including the first half of Anoushka Shankar and the Indian musicians which many skip through. The musical skill on show here is superb.

Oh man, 2 1/2 hours of pure nostalgic pleasure. Probably the best concert ever put on film. Possibly only rivalled by 'goodbye mister fantasy' a tribute to Jim Capaldi. If you don't know him or his band Traffic watch it anyway, it's outstanding.

Just watched the Beach Boys ''documentary''.
Very shallow. Not for muso's.
Suspect the rest of the site content is similarly lame.
 
Depends how deep you want to go into the bands I suppose.
I enjoyed the Slade one because they were my band back in the 70's.
 
I enjoyed the Bowie one as well. Woodmansey and Bolder never usually appear in Bowie documentaries and get asked about their experience.
 
Watched the Nirvana one as well. Enjoyed that also.

Bits of footage and songs from a free radio uni station before Bleach was released.

Just watched the Slade one. Pointless fluff does not a documentary make. The only incite in it was Les Davidson giving a wee music lesson. Coincidentally Davidson is one of the few good things in the Beach Boys doc. He was in a band called Sniff 'n' The Tears from 1981 and is a music geek and teacher.
As for my Slade credentials, me and my mates pretended to be Slade in the Primary School Concert in 1972.
I saw Slade live in '73, bought the singles, Slade Alive, the compilation Sladest, the soundtrack album Slade in Flame and saw the film at the flicks.
Saw and met Noddy at a show he did at the Edinburgh Festival with Tom Still. He told loads of great and funny stories about Slade and other daft stuff things from his life. A great night.

Can I ask you what expected from said documentaries?

Shallow? But there's loads of info that I never knew on them.

If o enperson takes one thing about a documentary that they didn't know surely that's a good thing?

There is no real content or insight in it other than when Les Davidson gives a wee music lesson.
It been very quickly tossed together with massive amounts of video footage with some interviews sprinkled across it.

Contrast and compare with the quality of "Ziggy Stardust at 50" produced for radio by BBC Sounds 2 years ago

Get past the narration inserts by Toyah Wilcox, reading as if English is her 3rd language, reminding us that she was once a laughable 'actress' and the rest is wonderful, full of insight and social commentary with many rarities {Aylesbury September '71 tape, 'Ziggy' interview backstage at TOTP, audio clips from the RCA NYC 1972 press conference, interviews with Ronno, Kris Needs, Tris Penna, Ken Scott, Marc Almond and more including a Moz reference from Kris Needs, who refers to an early fan club letter from a Steven Morrissey of Manchester.

Is that the 5 disc boxset?

I wanted it for the 3rd album The Velvet Underground which is represented by Reed’s preferred “closet mix”. The sound throughout is breathtaking in its clarity; lyrics one could never disentangle are easily audible and it’s no longer difficult to follow the individual instruments through the densest collective mashups, even on the previously impenetrable “Sister Ray”
