What are you playing tonight?
Moderator: Zulus Thousand of em
Went to see Frank Turner headline at the Roundhouse. Possibly the best gig I've ever been to. Delighted for the guy. To have come from playing in front of about 3 people in Nambucca to this in two years is amazing. Hairs on the back of the neck good, I have no voice and I'm still pumped on adrenaline!

Tonight I'm working late, but last night was a strange mixture of Dylan, Bruch and John Cooper Clark, partly shared by daughter, and ending in our discussion of the comparisons between desolation row and beasley street...
So nice, after the the years of snarl and surl to be able to talk to a teenager who has made it back to half-human again...

in Desolation Row the rats have got polio whereas in Beasley Street they all have rickets...

Bit of early nineties class from Luke Haynes. Ladies avert the eyes....

You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Superb stuff! This band are still going from strength to strength even after all these years and I can't wait to see them at Preston in a couple of weeks and then the Royal Albert Hall two weeks later.

They did start from a fairly low position of "strength" though.clapton is god wrote:James have kindly made five tracks from their new album (due mid-April) available to listen to on their website for the next few days:

Saw 'em in the 80's at that train station in Manchester. I was already sat down, by the time they sang "sit down"...
Anyhoo - Quicksilver Messenger Service for me tonight..

Listening ont' World Service last week, they did an article on these two African guys - The late guitarist Ali Farka Touré and kora player Toumani Diabaté.
I won't actually be listening to them this evening as I don't own anything by them - a situation that needs rectifying, soon. Absolutely superb.

I'd always intended to buy this AFT album - his final solo one.

Ta for reminding me.

Savane- It's on that there Spotify. I'd heard his name bandied about -maybe in that Joe Strummer film?- but never heard any. Got it on now, it's belting.Little Green Man wrote:I'd always intended to buy this AFT album - his final solo one.

If you haven't already got the album New Miserable Experience, Bobby, then might I suggest that you do.bobby5 wrote:Gin Blossoms - Hey Jealousy.
It's towards the top of my never-tire-of-listening-to pile.
You might also want to check out The Longshadows, who are/were a Robin Wilson side project. The album Simple Minded Way is on the same pile (but I think you can only get it via their Myspace site).

right now I am mostly playing Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum - simply because it was used at a funeral I just conducted (followed by a burial in the middle of an exposed and freezing bleak cemetry with sleet and a howling gale such that I froze my nadgers off!)
anyway - hadn't heard that for so long I just had to come home and put it on LOUD - cracking stuff!
no idea what it is about, but the room is humming harder and the ceiling just flew away and across the road road there are 16 vestal virgins getting the bus for Southend....

I have all the GB stuff Bruce. Doug Hopkins whose fine work is central to New Miserable Experience is a genius that is sorely missed. As you say, never tire of listening to them.Bruce Rioja wrote:If you haven't already got the album New Miserable Experience, Bobby, then might I suggest that you do.bobby5 wrote:Gin Blossoms - Hey Jealousy.

I will check out the Longshadows

Please, please tell me you didn't trip the light fandango and do cartwheels across the floor. The pictures running around my head right now are mind-boggling.thebish wrote:right now I am mostly playing Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum - simply because it was used at a funeral I just conducted (followed by a burial in the middle of an exposed and freezing bleak cemetry with sleet and a howling gale such that I froze my nadgers off!)
