New Public Service Broadcasting



Marvelous, however at this point I'm wondering if writing songs to soundtrack sporting tournament montages is written into their contract.

I certainly like this one more than the last track (which came as a complete surprise). I was wondering which 'subject' they could pick next, so for them to choose 'dance' and then shift their music a little more in that direction accordingly, whilst retaining guitar riffs etc really works for me.
I actually think it's pretty brave of them and I like it, but I'd probably start to lose interest if they were to continue to head too far out in a 'dance/pop' direction though.

Yeah I'd agree in terms of which of the last two I like more. By contrast, I think I'm comfortable with them in the 'pop' genre as it is, they've crossed so many genres across their albums that I'm more than happy for them to go in their direction as I have faith in their ability to translate it well.

On terms of subjects, given the clear German influence in both styles and lyrics in the last two songs, I wonder if we're getting some cold war/berlin kinda vibe. Think I would quite like that.

Been listening a lot to a band called Dry Cleaning the last week or so. Spoken-word lyrics in the style of jarvis cocker with some nice indie guitar racket in the background. Can't make up my mind if I really like them or if I'm just owning myself at this point.

Currently delighting BP by singing along to heart hits of the 90’s radio whilst he drives to Wimbledon.

HMHB seem apt for that start-of-the-season, hesitant optimism.

Driven down to Bath this afternoon having invoked the Iron Law of Conveying Others. Namely; my car - my tunes.

Manchester Orchestra and The Wildhearts all the way down 😁

New Public Service Broadcasting album is now out. The perfect early birthday present (well it better be, haven't listened yet!)

Not normally a fan of Korean boy bands if I’m honest, but I really like the BTS collab with Coldplay. ‘Universe’. Very catchy!

I had to google who they were when I saw Coldplay had done a song with them! Rather it was just Coldplay and not half sung in Korean!

I'd be careful slagging them off on the internet as their fans are fecking lunatics :D

Mrs BP is obsessed. Particularly annoying when the bloody songs are stuck in my head! 😡

As part of the work playlist I've recently added songs featured in the Elder Scrolls video game series. Cracking stuff.

Apropos of not much except it's music: Bruce Springstein has just sold the copyright to all his music for....500 million.... :shock:

Today’s kids teatime has been sponsored by me singing Bonnie Tyler’s ‘Total eclipse of the heart’, ‘Manic Monday’ by The Bangles and the Pet shop boys ‘Go west’ - which then led to me seeing if I could remember all the lyrics to ‘Hot stuff’, Arsenal and Donna Summers ‘98 Cup final song (I can 8) ) The kids were very appreciative. :wink:

Whatever happened to Cup Final songs? Not been one for ages! :conf: The world is missing out on top quality lyrical genius.
