Marc Nash (sulci) | 4313 comments I was/am a big fan of the band Liars, but their last 2 albums have been cack. However, this one track off the last album is a winner, but only reinforces how far they've slipped from what they once were.

The video is rubbish too

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Dave's been inflicting me with Canned Heat.

Our generation gap really shows when we listen to music together.

Or when one of us listens and the other bitches about the noise...

I love that album :/

Dave's usual answer to that is 2000 years of culture...

I love you anyway.


Rosemary (grooving with the Picts) (nosemanny) | 8590 comments Love you too, mwah!

Even if your taste in music is suspect :p

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Pffft The Nosemanny.

Everything about me is suspect.

I'm Simon's alter ego.

How scary is it that I'm the pleasant one?

You speak ill of your fellow countrymen? I thought they put on a good show, despite not connecting much with the crowd. Still, at least they didn't open up with a nutty film about fox hunting.

Richard Martinus | 551 comments I'll confess, if it's permitted, to quite liking Paul Gross singing 32 Down on the Robert MacKenzie:

It's prolly the bagpipes and tin whistle that do it. (And much the same could be said for the series.)

Unspeakably gorgeous.


message 2068: by Andy (new)

Andy Elliott | 1446 comments George Ezra's (he of recent hit Budapest) debut album "Wanted On Voyage" is rather wonderful, and a welcome antidote to the woeful crop of UK male vocalists of late (Messrs Sheeran and Odell I'm looking at you, the former being laughable voted the most influential man in UK black music by Radio 1xtra).

Also been listening to quite a bit of the Manics. Goodness me, The Holy Bible is a tour de force to be reckoned with. Shame they went a bit fluffy for a decade or so afterwards but they seem back on form now.


message 2069: by Marc (last edited Jul 15, 2014 03:10AM) (new)

Marc Nash (sulci) | 4313 comments Yes I was a bit taken aback by Sheeran winning that award.

I still remember when the Manics said that like the Who, they would just fade away early into their careers, but they never did.

Hmmm. Only song of his that comes to mind is that one he did with Dolly Partin...

Marc Nash (sulci) | 4313 comments The latest Liars' album is poor, but it has one stand out track "Pro Anti Anti"

You spelled Partin correctly, it was Parton you got wrong :-)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Hehehe

You're a card, Marc. You should be dealt with.


message 2076: by Andy (new)

Andy Elliott | 1446 comments Twenty years on and the Manics' "The Holy Bible" remains as brutally exquisite as ever. 4st7lb is perhaps one of the most harrowing songs I've ever listened to. All in all, perfect sunny Sunday afternoon listening in the garden. I'm certain my neighbours approved.


message 2077: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I'm certain I'm glad I'm not your neighbour.

Andy Elliott | 1446 comments Ah you suggesting that Intense Humming of Evil, a song about the holocaust, isn't perfect Sunday afternoon listening?

That was Kenny Rogers! ;-)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Oh


message 2081: by Andy (new)

Andy Elliott | 1446 comments Kris and Dolly have done a few duets in their time, including one in a rather scrappy film I watched on a plane a couple of years ago (can't remember its name). Islands in the Stream with Kenny is probably Dolly's most famous collaboration though.

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Dave is playing Alexis Korner. Father of the British Blues he sez.
Dave sez he told Led Zepplin their music would go down like a lead balloon. Hence their name.

Anyone else know that story?

Marc Nash (sulci) | 4313 comments I'd heard that he'd dissed their chances, but didn't realise that's where they took their name from

You're Canadian aren't you Patti? My favourite ever name in rock and roll was a member of Canadian punk band who went by the name of Chuck Biscuits


Rosemary (grooving with the Picts) (nosemanny) | 8590 comments I knew the lead balloon bit, but didn't know who said it. Used to listen to Alexis Korner's show on Radio One, once upon a time


message 2086: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Ooo! I wonder if that's on the net somewhere, Nosemanny. I'll google.

Marcus! You know damn well I'm Canadian. Sheesh.

Do you mean Limp Bizkit? They're 'mercan.

Marcus, who's he?

You.

Dave has put his iPod containing 1200 songs on random.

Wow. Random.

message 2092: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Oops. Missed out a zero. 12943 to be exact.

Last one was Davy Graham now Robert Plant and Alison Krause.

message 2095: by Marc (new)

Marc Nash (sulci) | 4313 comments 13000 now that's more like it. On my old laptop my I-Tunes told me how many songs and how many days of continuous play that represents. But not on my new one. A serious flaw I feel
