I stuck on 23 track compilation that I must have bought ages ago and yeah, Shady Lane and lots of tracks that sound pretty much like Shady Lane They are OK, I don't hate them, I just don't get their popularity, I've seen plenty of bands third on the bill that are as good and make a similar sound One of those that are just not for me I think This surprises me, genuine surprise. Don't get me wrong they dont feature in my top 50 bands or anything, but for my money they have a significant number of stone cold classics. A few world beaters in that as well, Range Life/Cut Your Hair. I thought they would be up your street. I would say their first three albums are as good as anything produced by an american in 90-95 (edit. thats a **** foolish statement and happy to have it taken apart) Edited June 29, 2023 by Seat68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Love me some Pavement. Crooked Rain Crooked Rain is an amazing album Slanted and Enchanted/CRCR/Wowee Zowee was a great 3 album run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 First two Foos albums were class. Third was good too, but after that they just seemed to become really samey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howl is definitely the stripped down Accoustic(y) one Anyway, I liked that and the two before it but thought they reverted to the style of the first two too much after that and lost interest in them a bit. If anything Howl is my favourite of the first three 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted July 4, 2023 Moderator Share Posted July 4, 2023 Just listened to a 30 minute SIgur Ros live session on 6Music. It really does sound like a return to form. New album is straight on the list 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Had to laugh at the Guardian review of their new album a few weeks back that was essentially "it's too chlled... 3/5". I mean, it's Sigur Ros, what the **** did they expect? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Listening to a record of music from ‘65, that I bought new in ‘83. So, music that was 18 years old and it was from a genuinely differently time. It felt at the time like we were re discovering something from history. Yet, it’s the equivalent of some kid over the last few weeks discovering … The Foo Fighters and Gorillaz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Deep Elm Records currently running a 48-hour name your price on their entire digital back catalogue: https://deepelmdigital.com/ Some great stuff on there including The Appleseed Cast, who to this day I am baffled once came to Basingstoke to play the piddly little dive of a music venue we used to have.

villa4europe Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Managed a vinyl session with the kids this morning Forgot how awesome Disc 1 side A of daft punk discovery is Also listened to King's of Leon come around sundown, I think their later stuff is OK and usually gets harsh criticism, CAS is good album, then I put youth and young manhood on... Yeah it's different class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 The recently departed Mo Foster was in Affinity who made a single album on Vertigo, back in the day. It's pretty cool. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted July 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 11, 2023 Just seen Generation Sex emerging from The Hotel Du Vin. Still attracting quite a crowd but mainly a lot of people wondering why all these people want albums signing by these old men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never let the missus know you are buying records, they will let you in a way that guilt trip you into not buying records. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in Winchester also supporting local businesses… ’Elephant’ is small but perfectly formed and with a very good stereo. I have just been talking to the owner and with the use of his exceptionally good stereo system we have agreed De La Soul are quite good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
