No idea who he is but some mates discussing this in WhatsApp group and apparently he died two months ago but only let people know yesterday

Did he not realise he’d died?

Yeah died on Halloween 

His 14 year old son died a few years ago and he completely went off the radar. He would release albums all the time or be touring but stopped it all. understandably it hit him hard. 

He’s an icon to hip hop. So many rappers became inspired by his unique style, not just rapping over traditional beats or 3 verses 3 choruses. A sad loss.

two new Kings of Leon songs on Spotify

I want to like them, but they're just a bit meh

Youth & Young Manhood was one of the best albums of the 00s - had never heard anything like their Hillbilly Rock and Roll before

but now, well, since post Sex on Fire, it's like they decide to sit in the middle of the road with the Killers and knock out mundane radio friendly toss

also just came across this which is a bit of an odd one

Tom Jones talking over what sounds like a Radiohead track

They stopped doing drugs and shaved their beards and went very average. 
 

Their first three are littered with absolute gems, almost perfect albums after that, meh

First album, amazing 

Second, very good, not as good as the first, but very good - saw them at the Apollo, great gig 

Third, good, had a pixies feel to it, but there were signs they were losing it - saw them at Manchester Central, belting gig, proper weird dark videos on the big screen for most songs

Fourth, the first three songs are very good, dirty rock and roll, i thought they were back on the up with, understandably, a different sound, but as soon as Sex on Fire ends it's been downhill since, Need Somebody was abysmal - saw them at the arena, most people there didn't appear to have heard of anything from the first 3 albums 

Not bothered since, can't have listened to any albums more than twice since 

 

Also, Manchester Central was a great gig venue, saw Arctic Monkeys there, the big screens just showed the band playing, and on close ups of Alex Turner you could clearly see his eyeballs rolling back up his eyes, clearly off his tits

They were great live first few albums are just filthy sweaty rock albums love them. 
 

Seen arctic monkeys a few times, before their debut came out they played the club above the thirsty scholar and they had a tune on The ‘Who the fuck are the arctic monkeys”  Ep called cigarette smoke. What a tune

Didn’t  see them for their first album but saw them at the Arena for their second album it was really poor, properly flat no energy or anything. 
Then I saw them at Glastonbury 2013 and it was like someone had said to them hey Les cmon you’ve gotta have a bit of stage presence here, they were a different act.

Think I've seen AM twice, at Manchester Central and LCCC 

The support was The Coral, decent, Supergrass, always a treat, and Amy Winehouse, she was clearly pissed 

Overall though it was an awful day out, the ground was being renovated and had a handful of bars open at which there was no concept of a queue so was a free for all 

And the sound kept going off so folk got angry

Quite liked the Arctic Monkeys - but pretty uneventful live. 

KOL - again, got a decent back catalogue and disagree that they’ve not done anything decent since SOF. I think you can easily cherry pick a song or two off their subsequent albums. Don’t really listen to them much though. Seen them 3 times live. DIRE DIRE DIRE.

Any of you into your guitar punk pop in the late 80s and early 90s - probably came across the Senseless Things. They even played at BIHE once (I missed it). Sadly their lead singer/guitarist Mark Keds passed away this week - was only 50. 
So thankful I got to see both their reunion shows in 2017 - Hull Adelphi was a tiny sweat pit warm-up gig. And Shepherds Bush Empire - bigger venue with the likes of Matt Bellamy & JimBob Carter in the crowd. 

As for new music. Can highly recommend Andy Bell’s solo album. Ride (and ex Oasis) guitarist not Erasure frontman. 
“The View from Halfway Down”. Imagine it would accompany a spliff very well.

2nd gig was a date with a fit bird. 3rd time was at a festival and thought I’d give them the benefit of the doubt. Left well before they finished.

Fair enough. FWIW I think they’ve been brilliant both times I’ve seen them 

I saw them at Bristol academy in 03 they were fantastic a bit rough round the edges but the better for it .  youth and young manhood was ace and they never did owt better after it . Genius , holy roller nova Caine , dusty , red morning light all fab .

In fairness twice at the Arena in the top tier. Enough to kill any possible atmosphere. And then at V-Festival - Outdoors, shite sound, too downbeat.

Just had a listen on my local walk. Some decent tunes and excellent guitar as expected but couldn't help thinking could they have been better as Ride tunes with Loz percussion and Gardener harmonies. 

Orange Goblin ,  anyone into these ?

Got tickets hopefully to see them later this year .

Bought tickets because of the support band.

King Creature. ( brilliant band from Cornwall) Saw them 2 years ago with Phil Campbell and The Bastard Sons.

Any way , back to Orange Goblin. Any recommendations of albums . They have never been on my wavelength.  But have quite a big back catalogue. 

Virtual festival next weekend raising money for worthy causes. Organised by a friend of mine and Saul Davies of James.
