Disappeared down a YouTube wormhole tonight 

Fuck me when I think about the bands that I saw in the 70s/80s. Punk, Ska, Mod, Reggae......

For those of an age. Nothing ever beats this

AC/DC with Bon Scott were the Dogs bollocks. I was lucky enough to see them at Bingley Hall in 1979. We had to wag off school early to get the Coach from Manchester (We did the same for a Rush gig there as well). It wasn't so long after that he died. Seen them a few times since with Brian Johnson but it's not the same. Back in Black was a great album though and a couple of the later ones, but everything since is pretty much the same tune with different Lyrics. Saw KISS at Bingley 3 times as well. Those were great Concerts.

Merrie Land by the Good, the Bad and the Queen is probably the best album I've heard in the last couple of years.

Yes, Damon Albarn is an annoying div, but he's really talented. 

It's superb. 

I'll have to listen to the full album. I was obsessed with Drifters and Trawlers for months after seeing them play it on tele.

79 at Manc Apollo. Bon Scott died soon after. Back In Black was written with him in mind singing that album. Superb album but Brian Johnson never did it for me. AC/DC died with him unfortunately imo

Going to the Specials as is tradition, James are always great live, Sleaford Mods make me laugh my tits off when I’ve seen them on telly. The geezer who presses the button and stands there with a tinnie is a fuckin hero of mine 

Titrifle. What a fuckin word

Bang into Sleaford mods at the moment, interviews are good, sooo not what you would imagine they are like.

They’ve got a tune called Ibiza with The Prodigy 

Belting live and got tickets to see them again in November.

Stuff still getting moved, starting doubting if anything that was scheduled up to June will go ahead.

The Sleaford Mods are the best British band so far this century

Andrews music is vastly underrated

What if it clashes with pension day?

They'll be too busy getting up a 6am to go and buy ornaments and catfood, and arguing with the bus driver about not being allowed to use their pass before 10am (again).

Nope.

If Sleaford Mods arrange to play a gig, and the day of this gig falls on the same day their pension is issued they may be somewhat conflicted.

Most pensioners do their weekly shop on pension day.

Oh, you're saying they're old. They're both roughly 50.

My mate works for Age Concern in Wednesbury, they're never out of the place.

Always scrounging cups of tea and pink wafers with some gripe or other.

They're 65 and 68 respectively.

Far too old to be banging biscuit tins and shouting over a bontempi organ.

BTW the lead shouter (71), despite being diabetic, insists on TWELVE sugars in his brews.

They live in Nottingham.

Not that it means they don't go to Age Concern in Wendesbury. I'm just saying.

To tell the truth, I assumed you'd at least find the vitriolic, anti-establishment tone of their lyrics rather appealing, spat out as it is in a regional accent by a man who wears ankle length sports trousers a fair bit.

Lyrics like this from their seminal track "Jobseeker":

-------------------

So Mr. Williamson, what have you done in order to find gainful employment
Since your last signing on date?
Fuck all
I've been sat around the house wanking
And I want to know why you don't serve coffee here
My signing on time is supposed to be ten past eleven
It's now twelve o'clock
And some of you smelly bastards need executing

Anyhow, fans of the Sleafords (pictured below) can catch up with the gents in the latest hip youngster's periodical The NME - where they hold forth on; Tony Blair, Boris Johnson, denture fixatives, decimalisation, 'darkies', Glen Miller, biscuits and not being able to use their bus pass before 10am...
