Yeah I figured but he deserves it

How to say I know feck all about music without saying it out loud German Experimental Electronic Music, AKA Krautrock So you’ve heard of Kraftwerk, well out of the same scene came… Neu! Can, Popul Vuh, Cluster, Tangerine Dream and a whole bunch of others who have had an extremely influential effect on modern music. The influence started with Bowie, Eno and Iggy Pop when they buggered off to bohemian West Berlin in he 70s which is where Bowie Berlin trilogy came from and Eno went on a wild ambient trip that continues to this day. Since then the motorik beat and the electronic rhythms have spread their influence far and wide and pretty much underpin most European electronic music to this day. Radiohead, Depeche Mode, U2 and work your way downwards from there through Portishead…. Trance, rave, all of it, it all starts with the German Experimental scene in the 70s

There's a much longer version called Elegia (Full Version) which is ace, not sure where it was originally released but I have it on the extra disc that came with the Retro Box Set first pressing Also, they did a 30 - 40 minute instrumental soundtrack for a Peter Saville retrospective exhibition which is just sublime, if you haven't heard it you should check it out

I'd post that The Beatles ripped off the Jam's Start years before Paul Weller wrote it but you all know that one anyway surely. Then there was ELO ripping off Paul Weller's The Changingman years before he wrote that too I mean how unlucky can Weller be to have all these people writing his songs before he did

Moby has a history of theft, he's a grade A word removed Ripped off The Passage's Drugface with absolutely no credit among others

She's just using a commonly held opinion to attempt to garner sympathy for herself and attack Sunak at the same time Whether it's true or not, it doesn't mean it her actual opinion, she's also telling him she's not going to go and keep quiet (She actually thinks she has support out there!) Not read her letter but did she mention the SAR she made and how it was always exempt from the GDPR anyway? So her whole premise for hanging on was false in the first place.

Absolutely a worthy contender for this thread as originally conceived! Though tbh, I don't think I've ever noticed, I hear Quo and I tune out

You’d have to pin that one on the LibDems being at fault. It’s no North Shropshire constituency

Went to a gig last night in a church hall. Very Mock Tudor interior which is a little odd. The night is a sort of semi regular thing entitled the experimental folk night. This is the third gig they’ve done. First act was the girl who organises the nights band, great voice but pretty dreadful, she was one of the two main reasons we went as my mate Joe wants her to sing on some of his new tracks. I forget their name Second act was the other reason we went, Samya. Solo, singer songwriter in the sort of Fiest / Carol King vein. Such a nice voice and great songs. She's the daughter of an old friend. Third act, some three piece based in Manchester le@d by an American, Guitar or violin and vocals with a double bass and keyboards, quite good. Missed the final band because the missus decided to catch an earlier train from London so I had to pick her up. Anyway, we saw what we wanted to see and met up with our old friends Saida (Samya's Mum) and her husband to be, another old friend Mick (Head). Who both declared they were only talking about me the other night and then I appeared like magic. Also got talking to Samya, who also declared she'd heard a lot about me… quite shocked really that this household talks about me, many years later

Revolution#9 is probably the best music on it.

It’s that shit, they couldn’t even be arsed designing a cover

Sorry but I only skin read your post but this bit stands out. Who says there was no threat from Russia? Seriously, they’ve always been the threat. You also seem to be saying that NATO has crept closer to Russia, that’s impossible without the willingness of those newer NATO countries to be a part of NATO and quite frankly the citizens of the Baltic Countries and the former Soviet Bloc countries that have joined were demanding it of their politicians. Just imagine what a kick in the teeth that would have been for those fledging democracies if NATO refused them. Now two more western democracies are joined/ joining that are closer to Russia because… of Russia. One of them Finland borders directly with Russia but even that only demonstrates how nonsensical your (and Putins) argument is. Turkey has been in NATO for over 70 years, it’s only 380km from Russia. NATO has always been close to the Russian border. Your argument is as ever easy to dismantle as it’s based on complete untruths. Please keep posting though because you narrative should be preserved for posterity Sorry, I just read that bit. LOL

He’s associated with Wagner, so hiding there you’d think but that’s just a guess. The Finish / Russian border is quite porous for those determined enough to cross

Finland have arrested and detained the Deputy Leader of the Rusich Group, an ultra Russian nationalist organisation, also literal Nazis, who have heavy links to Wagner and have been fighting in Ukraine with Wagner. Yan Petrovsky has been on the sanctions list for a long time along with the groups leader. Ukraine have asked for his extradition.

Putin really doesn’t care about ordinary people in Russia. It’s really not the Russian way

Nah it wasn’t that. I asked one mate if he fancied a pint. The other just randomly turned up. It’s the pub we all drink in

No, Benny Profane lol

In the pub and juggling friends that no longer speak to each other. I invited one, the other turned up with his missus. It’s a bit awks

I'm kinda hoping that’s in the shop when I nip into town shortly
