Music

Yep, they seem a very angry band, but also quite obsessed by food , a few of their songs are loosely about chicken and chips

 

Check the other videos on this channel, quite clever.

 

Recently rediscovered a couple of bands that I liked in the 90s but never really listed to other than their hit singles. Sleeper & The Cardigans. The Cardigans especially produced a bunch of other songs which barely raised a ripple in the UK but are really worth a listen.
Here are 3 track from the superb albums "Super Extra Gravity" and "long gone before daylight". Give each at least a minute !

 

I've said it before: Louise Wener...mmmm....

 

I did as you asked and gave each at least a minute…and found each song as bad as the last one. Boring drivel…but that’s just my taste in music is different

 

Have you read her autogiography ? I'm not a book reader at all but found it really interesting, hilarious and so well written. Highly recommend. Off the back of the reaction to that she has gone on to have a number of novels published.

 

No; I did know that she had written novels though. Will look out for it.

Furry nuff.

 

Fnarr. He said ‘Wener’.

 

Speaking of babes from the 90’s, been listening to a lot of Saint Etienne recently.

 

Never been a big fan, but Mario’s Cafe was somewhere I went for lunch for many years.

 

By coincidence I've recently rediscovered a cardigan I've had since the 90s

 

A cardigan in the 90s ?
That makes you about 93 now ?

 

I feel it

 

Yes, nice choonz and Sarah Cracknell was very pretty too.

 

What does it sound like?

 

Was? WAS?

 

Incest nonce Jerry Lee Lewis is brown bread.

 

Absolutely incredible.

 

Afroman releases a song about the cops raiding his home.

 

starts slow but warms up

 

I think there was a thread on cover versions somewhere, but I can't find it.
Anyway here's my contribution to the 'what's the best cover version' conversation - if, in fact, anyone's having one

 

Zzzzzzzzzz. Much preferred Bowie's version.

 

So do I. I like this though

 

Terribly sad about his suicide.
Robert Smith felt terribly guilty about not being there for his friend. He wrote “cut here” about it. See the lyrics.

Yes did a good version of 'Every Little Thing' on their first album, whilst Spooky Tooth did a great version of 'I Am The Walrus' on the album 'Last Puff'.
Grateful Dead do great live versions of various Rock'n'Roll & Country songs.
Patti Smith's version of 'Gloria' is brilliant & this thread has recently covered (!) the quality of 'Walk On By' by The Stranglers.
It's noticeable how many Dylan songs lend themselves to great cover versions; Manfred Mann almost made a chart career out of it.

 

Great song and great video. Real atmosphere about it. Plus it's "...featuring Robert Smith" - what more could anyone ask for ?

 

******* hell Japan are saving rock and metal music.

 

This lot are ridiculously good:

 

It's, literally, what he would have wanted*:

‘It’s a homage to what Mark E Smith taught us’: ex-Fall members House of All deny exploiting band’s legacy
Smith’s family have called the new band ‘extremely offensive’. Martin Bramah, a founding former member of the original Fall lineup, defends his new outfit

*The massive 'barnie' not the band formation.

 

Visually stunning and just oozes class.

 

If Iron Maiden were Japanese ladies. Great band.
