What Are You Listening To - The Reckoning

[WearyRhino]

Pet Shop Boys headlining one night at the Bingley Live festival this summer. 3 x days for ~ £55. Bargain.

3 days in Bingley including listening to the Pet Shop Boys for £55? No, they'd have to pay me a LOT more than that!

Booker T and The MG's - Time is Tight, great base line and rhythm foot tapplingly good.

[Ullman]

I was listening to Steve Earle and the Supersuckers NYC the other day.

Been a lean few years for the self proclaimed 'greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world' but the new album is a welcome return to some form. Serves as a reminder of just how good they were at their best.

Prompted by the earlier post...

 

Voi Vod - Fix My Heart. Seriously, you need to check this song out.

Another top chewn, keep 'em coming.

The Move - Cherry Blossom Clinic.

 

Why is Roy Wood not a Sir?

This story, perhaps?

I actually quite liked that despite not really being into that sort of music....if that makes any sense....

Both £1.99 on Amazon today, along with lots of other classic stuff. Bought quite a few. Would be rude not to.

How do you post Youtube links on here please, so they show and play in the post?

[Bomb Jack]

Just copy and paste the address from the screen and it should bring it up here.

 

That's exactly what I did, and it seems it never worked.

[Futtocks]

Thanks to a documentary about him, mystery man William Onyeabor seems to be making a belated buzz.

Saw this lot on Monday night, brilliant entertainment.

 

[timtum]

Saw this bunch in Paris a couple of nights ago

 

 

Enjoyed it quite a lot.  Some of their recent stuff is dreadful.  But I don't remember a crowd give a band such a welcome.  Or a band receive such a welcome so gratefully.

 

And this song, as ever, reminded me of my mate John RIP.  Floods of tears.

On Youtube, underneath the video you are watching, click on 'Share this video' and paste the link shown there into your post on here. That should work.

Enjoying this at the moment. Some stirring stuff on it, and for good measure even includes a poem read by Bill Nighy.

[timtum]

I had completely forgotten about this lot, until a trigger from the Kim Philby documentary about Enver Hoxha.

 

Test Dept.

Still not sure if it is any good, but nearly 30 years ago it seemed a bit different…..

 

Edited to omit (hopefully) nsfw tracklisting.

Yep, frequently over a very British spoken soundtrack.  Like them Public Service Broadcasting but without the melodies and brogues.

 

Very much akin to Eisturzende Neubaten and some other mob I used to go and see where the drummer from the Men they Couldn't Hang used to join in the din.  Can't remember what they were called...

 

I wonder why I have significant hearing loss!

[timtum]

I also used to frequently bump into a bloke at gigs with a F**head tattoo on his face in tribute to said noise some combo.  Wonder what became of him.

Rogue Male by Geoffrey Household on Radio 4 extra.  Gripping stuff in a 1930's style!

[Futtocks]

Another recommendation for the book 'Rogue Male' - the Radio 4 adaptation is a good one.

[timtum]

The ludicrously funny Cabin Pressure on Radio 4 Extra.

 

An ensemble cast and script of the highest order.
