You were certainly there for the b in bang of the UK musical explosion and in a position to see it develop through it's various fazes.
I was born in 1960 and ideally would have like to have been born 10 years earlier to experience all the music first hand.

Neil Perry and Billy Sharp. Two mates of a mate of mine.
 
Listening to the Shop Assistants.The album has been brought out this year,but the recordings go back to around 1986.A fine punky sound with a hint of surf.The album was recorded in Hart St just off Forth St.
 
Been very impressed recently with Fontaines D.C., 4 albums now all pretty good, about to release the new one which looks excellent. Their sound is a bit of the Fall, a bit New Order, and he's a good lyricist, a great admirer of Shane McGowan, shares the same experience of living in london originally from Dublin.

I was also put onto False Lankum recently by my brother, an album by the band 'Lankum', it's a really impressive album too, kind of like if a shoegaze band was made up of talented folk musicians.

Been a while since I've been as impressed with current bands still touring and writing

To my dismay I find my kids are somehow excited at the news some ancient pub rock dinosaurs may be reforming. I mean ffs this should only be of interest to 50 somethings stuck in the past.

But, it’s better to light a candle than curse the darkness, so one of the few vaguely interesting things they ever did;

Sitting in a nice beachside bar and my ears are being assaulted by a noise which I had to Shazam. Turns out it's 'Benlon and pop mage' 🤷 and the song in question is 'Someone you loved' What a mind numbingly awful song, sung by one of the most horrible voices I've had the displeasure of listening to.
Is this really indicative of 'popular' music these days?

Cheers for that Stu - I wasn’t aware he had recorded anything after Big Country.

Just the one album mate, Supernatural. It's good, I can recommend it.

The Raphaels went on tour with it in the States but sadly, Stuart was destined not to end the tour as he passed away.
 
Just nosing on a Facebook page by members of the Dungeon Club, a great haunt of Nottingham Mods in the 1960s. Someobody posted up the great 'One Way Love' by Cliff Bennett and The Rebel Rousers which I like a lot.

Reminded me of this punchy, powerful and intense version by Dexys Midnight Runners with that amazing horn section they had. Big Jimmy Paterson, Geoff 'Jeff' Blythe (JB) and Steve Spooner.

Anyone got any idea how I could connect this old Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin (no Bluetooth on it!) to a laptop so I could play music through it? 20240906_120256.jpg

If you have an aux headphone jack you could try aux to aux cable. Same might work for USB. I don't know if these are input or output sockets though.

Finally, I've no idea why it has an ethernet socket but it implies you can network attach it so you might be able to connect to it that way though maybe not while on the Internet.

Edit - yup looks like I'm right on all options.

in which case forget the ethernet route and go aux to aux or USB to USB (or usb to whatever you have on your computer eg usb a, usb c) cable. Let me know if you need a hand identifying those

I've been enjoying this on the dog walk this evening. As immediate and punchy a mix of rock and electronica as I've heard in a long time (maybe since Le Tigre's debut?).

I hummed and hawed about getting tickets for their gig at Stereo in Glasgow in November after hearing a couple of their singles earlier in the year but I appear to have missed the boat as it's sold out. They've announced a gig at the QMU in February though and I'll definitely be getting briefs for that as I get the feeling this would hit hard in a live setting.

If you like that sort of thing try these Edinburgh based mentalists. Dunno what happened to them but I used to reference them occasionally in the v early days of the board. Digital Dirt is the stand out.

Aye, they sound half decent. Definitely the first I've heard of them but I'll investigate further 👍
 
Went to Richer Sounds this afty and bought myself a new amplifier.It's an audiolab 6000 A.The noise is as crisp as a walkers crisp.I have dug out a Bob Marley box set called Lively Up Yourself.It's of the early years,so chock full of lesser known tracks.Right now listening to a track called Chances Are.
 
I've recently been listening to My Chemical Romance , not sure why i've not really heard them before . Just bought a Marshall Emberton 2 speaker too , fair fills the room for such a small device
 
Leaning back in my recliner, drinking red wine, earphones in, listening to a Bowie playlist. Anything and everything up to and including Aladdin Sane. The best stuff!
 
Was at the undertones gig last night. On top form. Songs like gotta gotta and get over you still sound as good 45 years later. Pistols were tremendous last Sunday night in Glasgow. Frank Carter was awesome singing the bollocks album. I'd recommend them to go and see as I think they will tour next year.
 
Was at the Undertones too on Friday.Both them and Ruts DC were on top form.On the back of that I bought their live album and the Ruts one.I listened to it this morning just before tuning in to the game.They are on fine form although I do sort of miss Feargal Sharkey.
