@TheBrandedSwordsman Oh yeah, Nubya Garcia is a big talent at the moment. I saw she had her own thing at the Proms but I haven’t seen it yet. Apparently it was fantastic though!

Been down a rabbit hole for the last couple of days listening to a lot of New Romantic stuff from the late '70s and early '80s. Might never stop. This is my life now.
@johncalmc a few internet searches later and I now know to what kind of music you're referring. good to have name for it so thanks.

@nessisonett I like Duran Duran. They were never one of my favourites of the era, but I do think people unduly game them a hard time. Same with Spandau. Both had some proper tunes. I was more of an Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark man.
@nessisonett@johncalmc Oh Duran Duran were killer in their day. Might have a 80's binge myself this afternoon. I was a bit young to be fully into it, but my brother and sister were, so that how I formed my initial musical tastes.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@Voltan@Jimmer-jammer And now, may I recommend, the latest album by Sco, 'Swallow Tales'? Let me know what you think!

@Keith_Zissou Did you ever hear the Deftones cover version of The Chauffeur? Totally crushing towards the end.

@Jimmer-jammer I'm glad you enjoyed the Sco songs from his oeuvre of work, Radio is great, but then, they all are to me. Apart from his Blue Matter record - that sounded too 80s for my tastes. Care to recommend something yourself?

@Voltan Ok. Then how about......the latest Joe Bonamassa?

@Jimmer-jammer Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is a definite favourite of mine, why does Gish edge out that album as a competitor for you?

Oh boy, a whole bunch of people are playing Glasgow over the next few months. I’ll probably grab tickets for Sea Power, Black Marble, The Jesus and Mary Chain, LCD Soundsystem, Viagra Boys, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Big Thief, Yves Tumor, Cloud Nothings, Dinosaur Jr, Jeff Rosenstock, Low and Richard Hawley.
Part of me’s also tempted by this year’s summer gig in the park of Green Day, Weezer and Fall Out Boy to appease my inner 12 year old. It’s like £70 though so no chance 😂
@nessisonett Ah if only I didn't have responsibility for the little guys. Totally envious especially for Sea Power, LCD Soundsystem, Yves Tumor, Low and Richard Hawley!
