Spiritualized Acoustic Mainlines live in Boston.  Amazing!!

MP3s available from http://www.bradleysalmanac.com/2007/11/mp3s-spiritualized-live-in-boston.htm

Being an old git think music finished in 1969...but was reading the Guardian's over-by-over on the India v England test match (the English were getting absolutely mullered!) and somebody posted this and just thought the video was terrific and the song's pretty good too.

Saw her first a few years ago on 'Tiny Desk'. Grown up a bit since then...

 

Just paid a visit to my loft and been raking through the boxes and boxes of CD's, cassettes and vinyl I have accumulated over the years. To say my musical tastes have changed over the decades is a major understatement.

Decided I going to share with you all / bore you with my trip down memory lane as I post what I happen to be listening to at the time of typing,

Starting with this beauty

A belter of a tune,which I played to death( as a budding drummer) on the old Sony Walkman,trying to emulate(failed) John Bonhams bass drum triplets. What a drummer though...

Bonham easily my fav deummer of all time. Bill Ward from Sabbath was excellent too, but nobody compared to Bonham

Poor man's Ringo in my opinion

Ringo, not even the greatest drummer in The Beatles. But then, same could be said about Lars Ulrich, I watched a drum-off between him and James Hetfield ... Lars lost

Ringos up there with Charlie Watts 👍

 * In the drummer dross category 

Listening to this right now.

Worth a few quid as well I believe as fairly rare import 😉

Forty five years old this year.

By fuck this is still an album and a half (well actually it is a double album)

The variety of musical genres they put on here is immense, with a bit of punk, rockabilly, ska, jazz, R&B and reggae.

To the youngsters on here, if you've never listened to this before, do yourself a favour and go listen 

Original vinyl release 👍

1999 and their first album of new material in ten years.

It was worth the wait imho.

1977 orginal vinyl release.

All close to eleven minutes of Fools Overture sounds fantastic still. 

First time listening to it in decades.

Been waiting 8 years for Nero's third album. Two of the band members have been off living a normal life and raising a child. But this, their 3rd album, is a brilliant nod to their first two, whilst bringing theirs under bang up to date at the same time 

No posts in this topic for over a year.

Not good enough

Given the influx of new members, surely amongst them there must be some with decent musical tastes, so get sharing what you're listening to

Given I've just purchased tickets to go and see this man at St Lukes next year thought I'd dig this vinyl out and slap it on the turntable whilst working this morning.

 

This is a dangerous flippin' thread for me. Not going to be able to resist. Expect to be flooded with endless Trashcan Sinatras songs...

But first, my undoubted favourite song of 2025, which is ironic given I generally have an aversion to concept albums, is this:

Once it gets under your skin, very hard to get it out again. Haunting.

Hints of Sarah McLachlan/Rumer.

Good man, I need others involved in this thread. 

I am a massive music fan with a seriously eclectic taste and am always on the look out for stuff to listen to.

Love a concept album 👍

 

(googles what that is  🤔)

Meant to say, not adverse to a bit of Trashcan Sinatras 

One of the few decent things to come out of the shite hole known as Irvine 

One of my mates is good friends with Frank Reader 

I’m continuing to destroy my ear drums with repeat listens of Loveless by My Bloody Valentine after last weeks gig at Hydro

I listen to loads of music on a daily basis, mainly through the radio, but got a fairly large collection of my own that I like to give a blast too.

 

I'm off to see The Skids on Saturday night and then have Squeeze/Madness on Sunday night, so been blasting a bit of their albums the past few days, to get in the mood for the concerts.

I like Madness a lot, but only going this time around, to see Squeeze.

I saw Madness for the first time as part of the Two Tone tour many many years ago, think it might have been 1979 or possibly 1980🤔

Saw Squeeze at Summer Nights In The Park back in August 2024

Bizarrely we are off to see Jools Holland this Friday
