jasonb Posted 29 June, 2020 Share Posted 29 June, 2020 (edited) I never knew Mclusky name checked Marian Pahars in one of their tunes... Friends Stoning Friends... its a belter of a lyric too in the refrain toward midway through the track: (I'll see you on the moon with Marian Pahars) (Return to earth for soya milk and underwired bras) if you're minded to listen to a bit of McLusky you might enjoy it.

SupersonicSaint Posted 10 July, 2020 Share Posted 10 July, 2020 The new album Jump Rope Gazers by Kiwi band The Beths, their first album is one of my favourites and I would strongly recommend them. If you like indie / power pop like Alvvays, Teenage Fanclub, Weezer or Courtney Barnett you can't go wrong with them. Link to post Share on other sites

Manuel Posted 19 August, 2020 Share Posted 19 August, 2020 My daughter has recently discovered Abba, so in turn I introduced her to the Gert Jonnys. This is their best song Änglahund, literally "Angel Hound" and tells the story of whether you are allowed to take your dog into heaven with you after death. Surprising the question hasn't come up before, to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites

The Cat Posted 28 November, 2020 Share Posted 28 November, 2020 I've mostly been listening to all the albums John Dwyer has released under different names. The guy never stops. Album of the year is Pain Olympics by Crack Cloud and I'll fight anyone who disagrees! Link to post Share on other sites

Have no wish to fight you but my god I thought it was fucking awful and that was after 5 pints. I can see how it tried to stretch musical boundaries and for that it deserves some credit, but in the end it just hurt my ears. That said I sense, Cat, from your other comments that we may share musical common ground. On that basis I will recommend for you Goat Girl (in full knowledge that I am at risk of you touche-ing me and dismissing it as fucking awful).

Yeah I like Goat Girl, some great tracks on the first album. Saw them live and was a bit underwhelmed though, maybe just a bad day but they seemed thoroughly bored! Funny comments about Crack Cloud. Haha. What time shall we meet for the fight? Some other recommendations that might be a bit more your style, these are all quite new bands Yard Act, Famous, Personal Trainer, Egyptian Blue, Global Charming, caroline, LICE (they're a bit shouty though) Wych Elm, PVA, deathcrash.

Christ I'm clearly dealing with a connoisseur here, never heard of any of that lot. Tried Yard Act and yes very good although they only seem to have 3 songs. Particularly like "Trapper's Pelts". Will give the rest a go. What are your thoughts on Shame? Loved their first album but not been that impressed with the new singles. In other news why is this thread such a barren wasteland? Get the odd post every couple of months and that's it. Do SFC fans not fucking like music? Link to post Share on other sites

If you are interested, yesterday whlst working in my workshop I listened to "Dance of Death" by Iron Maiden and some New Order, the day before Metallica's "Black Album" and "And Justice For All". In the last few weeks I have also played The Clash, Imagine Dragons, Tears for Fears, Kate Rusby, Genesis, Shinedown, Queens of the Stone Age, Beautiful South, Talking Heads, Santana, and more. I also, on occasion might listen to Classic FM, or perhaps a top level brass band, ( all 3 of my children have played in National Championship winning bands ).

Do SFC fans not fucking like music? Yes I like Shame. Seen them, what 3 times I think. They played Pompey at the end of 2019 supported by HMLTD (mad band, insane live) and a little known Irish act called Fontaine's DC. Shame seem to be moving their style slightly but that's all good with me as there's no need to make the same album again. Personally I just love music and spend a lot of time listening to new bands either online, on the radio, at gigs or buying records. Oh, and there's also resurgence of print magazines. I highly recommend So Young which is made by people from Southampton. https://shop.soyoungmagazine.com I also use Bandcamp a lot which is where I came across Yard Act. There's so much amazing music out there, sometimes just needs a bit of hunting down. Link to post Share on other sites

I was stood at the back with a beer whilst my then 17yo son went crowd surfing by. Excellent band. Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect that people don't like being judged on their musical tastes any more than they like being judged on who they find funny. You know the type of ridicule people would be open to if they admitted to Mrs Brown's Boys and Michael McIntyre for instance. Btw not for me either of those two. So back to the music. Helping my daughter move into her first house on Friday and she had Taylor Swift's Folklore album on. Like VFTTs Miley Cyrus guilty pleasure, I quite enjoyed that. Link to post Share on other sites
