What are you listening to right now?

Goddammit, I hope you told them to come to NZ. 

They played Aussie I while back but I couldn't make it over at the time.

The Weeknd

Haim. Bringing back the 80s

they are just a poor man's Heart.

I got 8 out 15 on this - expecting Greenie to get at least 15.

Felicity, Felicity, you fill me with electricity!

(And I'd like to plug into your socket)

My favourite Edmondson line of all time (unless it was Mayell ?)

It was Mayell, and wasn't it "like your putting your nob in a plug socket"?

just scored tkts to The (English) Beat @ The Studio, K Rd. Saturday May 1st. Should be a good Friday/Sat nite combo.

31st.

Faye Wong

or Dolores O'Riordan

I think Faye edges out Dolores for me.

Excellent solo at the end.

nice.

Packed house. 1/3 of them Brummies by the accents.

Got my copy of Definitely Maybe 20th anniversary edition last week. Some of the d/loads are brilliant. Get in!

Vinyl Bison @ Meow - plodding & repetitive, needing to be put out of misery. Theirs and mine. Pow!

Any Jeff Wayne War of The Worlds rock musical fans here? Just re found it after a 10 year separation... Soo good!

The chances of anything coming from Mars, are a million to one he said

You should buy the stage show dvd version. Its brilliant. Not just the show but the extras on the dvd really make interesting viewing. Damn might put it on now as i have the afternoon off. And yes, it is an excellent album.

I saw one on youtube which was recorded via a handicam. Looked pretty amazing. A full orchestra and actors running around in front of a big screen. Have you seen it?

Sounds like someone who's handicammed the stage show version. They got everyone except David Essex back in for it.

Billericay reprezent!

Bob Mold Beauty and Ruin, Termy et al what do you guys think?

The New Fever Athem (although we might need more ladies in the Zone)

Pour some More Tequila, raise the flames to FEVER

Metallica, Megadeth, Lamb of God, Napalm - listed by Joko Widoko, soon to become next Indonesian President, as his favourite listening.

No Joko.

Oh dear. I wonder what the North Korean president likes to listen to?

He'd like that old Eric Carmen number- All by myself.

Good. A couple of duff tracks in there but overall I like it a lot.

Biased as fuck though.

And Copper Blue remains the high-water mark of Mouldy songwriting.

If I can't change your mind...  perfection.

I know I'm going deaf and really need to go and get my ears retested but anyone finding the vocals on new albums harder to hear? Both Bob's and the Latest War on Drugs really have me struggling to hear the words.

I also like that cover "Beer Commericial" on Copper Blue.

Anyone read Bob Mould's autobiography yet?

I'll get round to it eventually.

Good Q & A with him in the latest Uncut magazine.

Weird Al Yankovic singing "Foil".Acutally has better words than the original.

No but there was a good article in Uncut around 2-3 years ago about his coming out.

I need Frankie Mac to read it and then post a one line review on here: "I read Bob Mould's autobiography last night" ;-)

That one liner is just a metaphor for "look at me reading all these music articles and going to footy matches and you are are stuck in a shitehole I bet you wished you had my life."

Which is actually quite true as it turns out.

I this'd both of those comments.  Well played boys.

To be honest, I have never heard of Bob Mould but if his book has stories about rock and roll excesses that I can steal and pass off as my own (in order to make people feel their lives are inferior to mine due to the country that they live in) I will give it a go.

I have  never heard of this guy either.
