What Are You Listening To - The Reckoning

[Moose]

A different version than his 1999 original recording. The original version was also covered by Johnny Cash.

Blimey!

Now post the version by Edwina Currie & John Major.

Probably a repost, but no apologies. 21st century reggae.

When New Order started to emerge from Joy Division and effectively invent modern house music, they did some remarkable stuff that gets lost in their later pop kind of hits.

Don't know I anyone is into punk but currently loving Punks Dead by Soft Play (fka Slaves). The lyrics really resonate with me and are actual comments made following the announcement of their name change. There's even a cameo from Robbie Wiliams!

 

[Leeds Wire]

Also this lot. Calypso reggae

I was never a punk fan but I've got a ticket to see Bodega this month in Leeds. Apparently it's "post-punk"
but I really like them

Also currently loving One Hand Clapping sessions by Paul McCartney. Stripped back and raw and it's just sublime

Their new album is great reckon they'll be fantastic live

[Leeds Wire]

Seb Lowe and his band were magnificent live in Leeds - much better live than on yoochoob. 

I hope they really make it big. This is the first live video I've seen of them. They are brilliant and also touring, please go if they are near you. £17 for a ticket to the best live show you'll see this year, I promise.

Saw this rabble live in Leeds on Saturday. Really good show as always. Mr David Gedge is in his early 60s now! Dalliance is always one of their best live tunes. 

What amazed me was how many genuinely young people were in the crowd. They knew all the words and also knew that Gedge doesn't do encores ("It's not a reflection on you", he says at every single gig).
 

 

[OriginalMrC]

Saw Shed Seven at the weekend in a much smaller show than this. Just a brilliant live band who always put on a good show. Hoping to see them at their open air gigs next year.

Saw The Long Ryders on Friday doing a 40th anniversary show for debut album Native Sons. Wonderful album and band

They sound a bit like Wilco or should I say Wilco sound like them

Trailblazers for the Americana and alt-country movement. Native Sons and State of our Union are both great albums.

Bit of roots

 

[Jeff Stein]

Surprisingly vibrant reggae scene in Thailand. This lot were playing at the excellent Studio Lam (home of The Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band) on Sukhumvit Road Bangkok last night

[Leeds Wire]

My 15 year old put his Spotify playlist on in the car and up popped Picture on the Wall by Groundation.

I couldn't have been more proud and I reckon he couldn't have thought I was less cool when I sang along.

He'll probably stop listening to them now!

 

[Leeds Wire]

A message of hope from Groundation's Harrison Stafford

The best band I've ever seen live are going again in 2025. Got tickets for the London gig.

I've lost count how many times I've seen them now. Their live shows are an absolute joy.
