The Vaccines and Foster the People (with a little bit of Pink thrown in to keep me perky)

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

I missed this from my top 5 from last year.
 
Ian Dury's son. A mix of Squeeze, Elvis Costello and the Attractions and his Dad and the Blockheads. Also has an awsome 80's sounding chick doing the backing vocals.
 
Pretty fantastic really.
 
Me and him are both 40 and shared much of our later childhood surrounded by large blokes off their heads on amphetamine sulphate, maybe that's why I get it.

Last night I went to see Bronagh Gallagher at Bush Hall.  She was the short girl from the Commitments, and was also in Pulp Fiction, so is better known for her acting than her music, but she was very, very good.  She has a new album out, which I will probably pick up.

No argument here on one hand I had an older brother feeding me Gong, Punk stuff, Hawkwind, and everything inbetween my sister loved Duran, ABC, T  twins and lots of 80'S stufff. I loved the stuff too.
 
Mark White was made for the 80's and ABC although not for me cool at the time still has a place, normally in sh*tty discos or later "clubs" trying to get off with someone.

I saw them about 20 years ago in Finsbury Park, possibly the free Fleadh Fest they used to hold there? They played on the smaller stage & it was "Crusty Heaven". Lol.
I think Van M & The Pogues may have played that year too.

You rcomment made me think of just such discos. I remember one , exactly like that where I first heard ABC. Terrible... but fun in a way.

Agreed.
 
Right now I am listening to Disco Inferno on Rdio, which is possibly the best thing that has ever happened to me.

At work listening to The Edge which is on a par with More FM for sh*ttiness.
 
Unfortunately, I work with a lot of under 25 year old females who don't like or appreciate The Rock.

Just a head's up Sugar's Copper Blue has been reissued and is finally on Itunes. There is a extra's album with lots of live tracks thrown on which is worth buying. Great to finally have this back after my last copy  finally died.

 

I'm also  going to buy Tuscon by Giant Sand this pay  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1XVJR1lTRg truely an awsome track

The new Jimmy Cliff album Rebirth is very good.

Produced by Tim Armstrong of Rancid.

Jimmy's best work in years.
