What Are You Listening To - The Reckoning

[Futtocks]

Just a heads-up on something being released, because I know it'll right up the streets of a few TRL members.

Not sure whether to be worried or not

Hard to believe this was recorded 56 years ago. VU were so far ahead of their time.

[HawkMan]

This is brilliant and TERRIFYING at the same time.

 

[Futtocks]

Not the finest music, but watch out for a cameo appearance at the end from a fair dinkum Australian legend.

The Ramones before the Pistols

Here's a song for anyone who's ever looked at Vladimir Putin a bit funny or spilled his pint.

Having a bit of a nostalgic year. Seeing the wonderful Natalie Merchant in Manchester and the legendary Waterboys in London over the next few weeks. Failed to get tickets for the Sawdoctors but hey, I've seen them enough times. 

I saw Dire Straits at the Deeside Leisure Centre in 1985 ish on a coach trip from our cricket club aged 15 and they were fantastic. They should really take the credit for giving me my  addiction to live music. 

I saw the Eurythmics the same year (NEC Birmingham) and they were great. The weird bit is that that U2 (Wembley) and New Order (Warrington) were awful but I loved their music at the time. I think New Order were groundbreaking but obviously owe a nod to Joy Division. 

Anyway, thanks to Dire Straits, they will probably come around again. My 17 year old was listening to an identikit cover of Tracy Chapman's Fast Car today and my 14 year old was listening to Groundation and Bob Marley. Good music just endures.

Miserere........The Sixteen

The first Velvet Underground album sold only 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band.

Attributed to Brian Eno.

You know when people ask you what your favourite album is and you can't narrow it down?

In My Tribe, no debate.

[Leeds Wire]

Not sure if this is a repost, but no apology if it is. It's just so good.

 

[Moose]

Love bootlegs, this is from a 1969 festival. No apologies it’s VU again.

 

[Leeds Wire]

Not sure this belongs here, but there's no other thread for it. 

This is so clever and brilliantly done, it really makes you think. It's also laugh out loud funny. 

If it belongs elsewhere then someone please move it or let me know where to post it.

edit - sorry, it doesn't really start until the Parliament bit at about 4 minutes.

Getting a long overdue repress on vinyl soon. Good news for me cos whilst I have it on cd this is a hole I've wanted to fill in my vinyl collection for a while.

One of Australia's great cultural icons, orchestrated!

A cracker of a track for the power-pop fans on here.
