I remember Anthony way back when he had his Johnson(s).

Watched Amyl and the Sniffers (most Aussie band of all time), Pulp (brilliant) and Neil Old (material from 1964 to 2020!). Thought Beabadoobee was excellent too.

I watched a bit of The 1975 early on. Then they did an intro that was pure Coldplay and I was out of there, man. But I get it, they are about as good as any really popular modern band is.

Enjoyed Supergrass. They pretty much played their debut album track by track in order then threw in some later bangers to finish with. Did the ironing watching…[Read more]

St Vincent , yes.

Neil Young, Wet Leg, Beth Gibbons, Roy Harper, Supergrass, Amyl and the Sniffers (why not?).

Wild card?  Beans on Toast.

Back to where it all started. At the time the main evening DJ on Capital Radio was “Little” Nicky Horne. In response to New Rose he gave a pompous and arrogant sermon about how awful it was and pledged that no punk music would ever be played on his show. 50 years on, which of the two are the national treasures?

The Adverts were not just punk. I really like this one.

Gill said he would have bowled too.

Anyway, I will take up the FIFA bashing theme happily @brianN. Matches played in totally unsuitable conditions, 40-41 degrees, two hour breaks for thunderstorms and…restricting water for spectators (who understandably just went home). You couldn’t make it up etc. etc.

Come back next year for more of this. If…[Read more]

Wow, I can’t believe @brianN‘s sophistication might be deterring some people from the BP.

But be very very careful with the juke box.

Hi @bikeborb1, that’s a good clarification thanks. I didn’t mean to appear to be making a comment about all this behind your back – I earlier sent you a very similar message in the comments thread of the Challenge page but it seems to have disappeared into thin air. I certainly knew nothing about all this but I’ll stick to my assertion that this…[Read more]

I think we should big it up for @leggy who has just qualified for her UltraSharpshooters badge for the Moon of Endor episode of Star Wars. This is an ultra rare achievement so big congratulations.

On the PE 3-1 subject, I have obviously gone back to earlier versions to see if they were better but I don’t think I ever got anything as early as…[Read more]

And… they have reappeared.

This reminds me of a front page headline in (I think) the News of the World many years ago which was “World War Two bomber found on surface of the Moon”

The next week there was a headline reading “World War Two bomber on Moon disappears”

Two sensational stories for the price of none.
