Quite liked that.
Terrible name though.

Ha ha, I didn't have any input on the name, glad you liked the music though.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

Mano McLaughlins new album - Then Lightning

Along with The Specials latest album they are probably my favourite two albums released so far this year

[Dyched]

The Lyrics to "Is that Allright" By Lady Gaga are pretty powerful...she sings it Well."Shallow" Bradley cooper and Lady Gaga....I Like this Woman

This song by The Cure is about 30 years old, was never a particularly a big fan of their's, thought they were OK.

This one though is special, been playing it a lot lately -

'Pictures of You'.

Shed Seven were formed in York in 1991, they had some short-lived Britpop success, I thought this was pretty good.

'Going for Gold'.

Absolutely HB and a big influence on Springsteen, one of my fav artists.

I've been listening to a lot of Zombies music of late. Rod Argent a fantastic keyboardist, not to mention another brilliant vocalist in Colin Blunstone.

Rick Wakeman (no less) once said of Argent that his keyboard solo on Hold Your Head Up is the finest hammond organ solo he ever heard. Strangely about a year or so ago I spoke to Rod Argent through work, he's the MD of a recording studio down south somewhere, really nice chap.

Blunstone - taken far too young - one of the famed '27 club' I believe.

[houseboy]

I knew that would be the cue for some funnies.

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week folks.

Colin Blunstone is still breathing Solid Air on God’s earth
- and he is way past 27... he is definitely not in that club.

[houseboy]

After over 20 years, I’ve recently gone back to listening to Marillion, Clutching at Straws and Seasons End.

Marrillion are/were fantastic - Misplaced Childhood was an excellent album.

FFS what am I saying - you are of course 100% correct. Who the hell was I thinking about - doctor I need more medication. Strange that, I must have mis-read something at some point. When my musical history knowledge fails me I think I need help.

Have a listen to Dan Mangan. I’ve been listening to his music for a few years now. His latest album “more or less” is a good place to start. From Vancouver, I Saw him live in Brighton on Sunday but he also played Manchester and Leeds last week. Danmanganmusic.com

Top songs on current album:
Cold in the Summer
Just Fear
Trouble Mind
Lynchpin

[BurningBeard]

Saor - Forgotten Paths

[hampsteadclaret]

Any Elbow fans..?..been listening to their stuff a lot lately..[local lads from Bury]

'Lippy Kids' reminds me so much of growing up in Burnley quite a long time ago.

This live version was from a show at Jodrell Bank, Cheshire in 2012, a very wet evening.

She's a dish!

These last couple of days I've been listening to some of the more long winded tracks I've got: Pink Floyd - Echoes, and Atom Heart Mother; and Focus - Anonymous 2. Most enjoyable!

Anyway I listened to this too:

[Steve1956]

Bob Dylan's album ..Desire

[hampsteadclaret]

- lightening the mood..was playing 'Cupid and Psyche 85' yesterday, several decent singles off it back then.

Scritti Politti were originally on Rough Trade..genres described as 'pop, new wave,synth-pop, blue-eyed soul, and post-punk'.
- loads of changes to the line up, loads of success in the mid 80's, here and in the US.

This is 'Perfect Way'...whatever happened to the very talented Green Gartside?
