Sigh.

Cool 'get some of your fans to shoot footage for your video' music video.

From the brilliantly named album 'All this useless beauty' (and from The Sopranos)

What the fuck was I thinking?

Going to the fag end of a week long goth festival in Leeds next Weekend. Think I'll jiggle about with a real ale to this and then make my excuses.

And some big wanky stadium rock.

Those quietly golden years at the end of the last decade.

I don't think he's singing about a cat.

After listening to the BBC podcast about the 'cryptoqueen' scamming 4 billion pounds/euros/dollars (whatever it was a rounded figure) I'm now into Bulgarian folk music. Sod the crime of the century, this shit sounds like Xena or Farscape.

At their earliest and some would argue finest, when I found this today it was an almost sexual thrill.

These are basic level stoned songs.

Any marvelousness you may have encountered as a result is yours.

Yeah but that doesn't require thinking, just honing a trade.

Nah that's not always true, Sky. Just look at acting for examples. Most great actors age like fine wine acting skill-wise.

In every field from music to physics all the evidence shows we do our best work in our early twenties.

Now I understand that might be a bit late for some of us.

But there's not a lot I can do about it.

Real proper 'how to do a cover' with a fist-pump bit in the middle where it all takes off.

Nice dancy indie original



Nicer acoustic cover

I quite often manage to mistype youtube as 'youtune' and am always surprised that it isn't a site. Shall we start it?

Well there bloody well should be.

No mockery here.

At some point your mockery might tingle something here or there...but in the meantime.

Having just spent a week sleeping in a forest being eaten by ticks and pestered by badgers trying to get at my cheap Tesco smoked weiners. Away from any phone signal or semblance of civilisation besides a few other smelly, sleep deprived volunteers. I've decided you lot might not be so unappealing after all.

Fine young dandies.

More of genius poet-ruffian Pete Wylie.

Perfect scoring from the Stranger Things 3 season trailer.

If you can find anything I haven't posted at least twice Anatoly I'd be most grateful.

Think you have posted this one before tbh.

Its not bad though.

Hmmm...

Anyway I'm currently going down this rabbit hole.

New York no wave.

Have a little heart anyway.

I thought this might have been Soft Cell the first time I heard it - there's something very Some Bizzarre about the sound. Bit Depeche Mode too? You're the expert here.

You know when some idiot in a film says 'treat each day like it's your last'?

I wouldn't recommend trying it. It's immensely tiresome.

Anyway...

Oops it seems I've gone off on a tangent again...I had an evening out with an old friend the other night who is in a couple of bands and music is his entire life, he teaches it, plays 3 instruments to a technically excellent degree and seems to spend half his life going to see live music.

He's also a massive pisshead and Newcastle United season ticket holder.

Before any home game the routine was for a bunch of them to meet at his friend's flat on Arthur's hill, get pissed then head down to St James' Park. This involved music so eventually, last year, he decided to try to inject a bit of variety and something a bit different.

Now bearing in mind said friend and I have similar tastes in music the results were predictable.

He claims the responses were mostly along the lines of "What's this shite?" so he desisted and has now decided not to renew his season ticket in a futile act of defiance against the colossal areshole that is Mike Ashley.

There was once a point to this anecdote but for the life of me I no longer remember or care what it was.

Analogue synths and a theremin in the 90's.

That was Delia Derbyshire of Doctor Who theme music fame, and this was her band.



Sounds a lot like some of the bands I've posted here does it not?

Bands it seems that were merely a conduit for the nostalgia of being a child.
