Going to give the album a bit of a spin, had a bit of a fill of young guns post punk at the moment and I have to say I'm not feeling the new stuff by Yard Act which is a bit of a shame as they are a great band live. Sparks have released the album of the year for me so far - the young pop guns taking a beating from the older pop aesthete's Or maybe I'm just middle aged and stick of hearing 20 years olds trying to sound like Gang of Four and Television when I can just listen to well...Gang of Four and Television. Some folks say that it’s Kevin’s most beautiful tune to date. I’m not so sure Edited August 16, 20233 yr by globaldiver

I’m not so sure I'm listening to the new ablum now - really enjoying it, a bit nutty, got a lovely 80s pop feel. reminds me a lot of when Belle and Sebastian worked with Trevor Horn. Anyway, will have a too rye ya around the other albums.
August 22, 20233 yr Hawkwind at Chepstow Castle next Monday. Support by Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons. Hopefully the rock weather gods will smile on us . 52yrs and still going strong.

Feels a bit Festwich style tribute show without him I'm just not a fan of some of the trad rock stuff, folk seem to love Phil Cambell but doesn't get my juices following. That Hammer and Dance song is like bad The Almighty, and they were never that good to start with.

Hawkwind are timeless , still recording great albums . Once David Brock throws a double six that will be it. Great band atmospheric venue , it should be a goodun

Here’s the thing Theyre clearly talented. They’ve made millions and sold loads of records. But there’s something about their music that, to me, is just dreary and awful. I have a real blind spot with them. Just cannot see any merit in what they produce that hasn’t been done before and better
August 28, 20232 yr Their first album was good They went from nobodies to arenas in two albums Fair enough but nothing I've heard since their first album was anywhere as near as good, and that wasn't exactly a classic, it was just decent at the time And his solo stuff was as middle of the road as it comes Its music for people who aren't into music and go out for meals before a gig
