Yes, it's not funny. But I tried. God damn it, at least I tried. I tried. I directed Russ Abbott's Video, I was in the Guinness book of Records. Changing the topic completely, I think I've discovered what prompted Bolty's diatribe against 'The Darling Buds of May' reboot t'other week... Phillip Seymour Hoffman's old character 'Charlie' now refelects modern times... And unlike that bumbling bespectacled 1990's milquetoast nincompoop, this lad 'tries before he buys'... Thankfully he (Bolty) won't discover two blokes, one black form a couple on Strictly Come Dancing until it's screened 'Down Under' in 2026... His brain would melt.

They're supporting Affleck's Palace (who aren't much cop and should stick to day job as Total Stone Roses tribute) at Manc Academy in January. Definitely worth catching now.

Youri McAnespie Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I wish them well but is it any better than what, say Primal Scream were doing much better twenty, thirty years ago..? A lot of these young guitar bands remind me of that fictional band in the (rubbish) film 'Spike Island'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longer gap to Rose's and Screamadelica than those had to Stones and Beatles so can't really moan about recycling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I've been subjected to XFM, sorry, Radio X again this afternoon, in a household where the clock is stopped firmly in 1997... What I learnded. Richard Ashcroft, who I thought had quit music to be a part-time Youth Club volunteer and full-time drug-taking pisscan, has fallen victim to the scourge of songwriters of a certain age - 'Everythingmustrhyme-itis'. Whoever makes the ads for 'Newmaker Homes' should realise nobody under thirty ever says "buzzing" unless they're referring to bees, wasps or dodgy fluorescent lighting. By tuning in you could win £1000 worth of stuff from Currys, whom I thought folded fifteen years ago. Next week's prize is a £500 HMV CD voucher and a year's free rental of a top range Videoplus+ VHS Video Recorder and 38" TV and stand from Granada. They proudly proclaim 'Playing the best of British' before spinning a song that's more or less 'Debaser' by Pixies note for note with some Northern oik caterwauling over it. They went a whole hour without playing any Oasis, they did however play a ditty by Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds in that time. Some sad owd twat went watching a band called DMA's last night and as a result is nursing a hangover and is still wearing his pissdrenched Nautica hoody (from piss-pint chucking) and his pissdrenched Levi's Red Tab Bootcuts (from his incontinence). Ooh, goody, Manic Street Preachers are playing now. Bag o' shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I've never liked Frank Zappa's stuff but I got 2/3 of the way through the iPlayer documentary on him last night and it was worth a watch up until that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody booked it. I really wanted to go. But had enough of being “the one that always books the tickets”. On a similar note. Mate has dropped out of going to see The Levellers on Fri 25th November in Manchester. Its a sellout. So I’ve a spare ticket for this now - if anyone fancies it.
