bickster Posted August 27, 2019 Moderator Share Posted August 27, 2019 Loop - A Gilded Eternity. Original first pressing Ltd Edition with free 7" Single Reminds me of the start of a Friday night at Planet X before the main body of punters came in and we'd play stuff like this for our own benefit and the clubs regulars that were always in early, possibly for a gig before hand. We'd play it loud, they'd go nuts on the dancefloor and were happy and as the place filled up we'd move away from this stuff to the more popular dancefloor friendly indie tunes of the day. It worked well because the early crowd created an atmosphere for the Friday nighters to walk in on If we played this two hours later we'd have cleared the dancefloor in seconds but the early doors weirdos loved it and loved us for playing it. They knew the rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted August 29, 2019 Moderator Share Posted August 29, 2019 I always knew this album was crap but it had Ms Grogan on it... Jezuz it's bad, I only lasted one side. I remember them supporting the Banshees at the Odeon and have fond memories but this doesn't remind me of that. If it was worth anything I'd sell it.

chrisp65 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 My mum bought me that album, and the single ‘happy birthday’. Family row commenced when it became clear I wasn’t gushingly grateful. Can’t imagine where she got the idea I’d like it. But then for some reason she also presumed it was just a long running elaborate joke that I didn’t like Queen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still love "Dead Pop Stars" Martin Rushent ruined them, they should have stuck with Steve Severin producing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally at the height of my eat, sleep breathe Ramones. My sister thought **** it. Buy him a Go West album. I never professed a liking for them. Not a single song. Nothing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) HAPPY TOOL DAY!!! 13 years of waiting are over and the album is phenomenal, I love it. I've been spinning the 7 track physical edition for a few days now, but now that the album is out I'm giving the 10 track digital edition a listen. Great record. If you're a fan of TOOL then definitely check this out if you weren't planning to already. Edited August 30, 2019 by Daweii 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s cool - I’m having to wait for the physical copy as ordered it from Canada as it worked out about £20 cheaper including shipping... farcical really!

bickster Posted August 30, 2019 Moderator Share Posted August 30, 2019 Bim Sherman - Across the Red Sea No stories to tell here, this is the second pressing with copyright belonging to Cherry Red on the labels Just a nice mellow lilting On-U Sound reggae album, it's clearly AMS at the controls but in a more subtle understated way which more suits the sweet vocal delivery of Bim Sherman. This copy is in top condition and is likely in the top of the price range (£30) The musicians are a who's who of the On-U reggae stable with pretty much all the members of Dub Syndicate and Creation Rebel represented along with supporting cast of Bonjo I (African Headcharge), Deadly Headley et al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I gave in to that an hour ago bed beckons methinks but before that the sadly undervalued... The Three Johns (only two of whom were really called John), John Langford of the Mekons other band I remember one gig I was working at (Liverpool Uni, I was working the gig and for the support band) where John Hyatt (the singer) was absolutely out for the count drunk for the soundcheck, he then slept at the side of the stage until it was time to go on. The other two just woke him up by shaking him vigourously (He'd slept through the support, right by the speaker stacks). He got up and away they went, great gig too. To say Hyatt had a drink problem was an understatement. He is now a professor in something to do with fabric innovation in art and fashion, @NurembergVillan might even know him these days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf while there are some pretty bad links between them and some right wing scum and they might very well be pro neo Nazi even thou they deny it. But Antifa are just as mental as those right wing idiots. Antifa is not the right way to judge anyone by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
