Very rock ‘n’ roll @desperate-dan but good to hear something new from Wet Leg.Can’t explain my liking for The 1975 it’s the kind of band I’d normally give a wide berth to but they seem to scratch an itch.Best not to analyse these things.

As for EE they’ve appeared at Glasto a couple of times that I know of ,they did a short set on the John Peel…[Read more]

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]

He’s the offspring of Denise Welch and Tim Healy so a bit of slack needs to be cut.

Maybe I’m gay.Maybe I’m a teenage girl but The 1975 nailed it tonight.Very uplifting despite Matt’s need to get through a pack of Woodbines.

Why not indeed Amyl is an angry young woman .The Sniffers seem a little more laid back.Oh forgot to mention Wolf Alice.

St Vincent , yes.

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

Wild card?  Beans on Toast.

Any bands from Glasto you ‘re looking forward to chaps?For me The 1975 on the main stage but most of the good stuff happens elsewhere St Vincent are on one the smaller stages and she is always a good listen(and watch).

Some of the bands I’ll be checking out purely based on the names with Bob Vylan being one of them(people expecting a Dylan…[Read more]

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? At some point much humble pie was…[Read more]

Staying on point I see The Damned are planning a gig next year at the Wembley Arena to celebrate their 50th anniversary.I know,we all thought they’d be dead by now never mind still gigging.Sadly Brian James is the only one of the original gang not to make it as he passed away earlier this year.Here’s a song he started writing when he was in a band…[Read more]

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

Did someone mention The Adverts? https://youtu.be/S3ggFF3pCno?si=R2r3Td5yRIwfNixO

And back in the day I certainly had Gaye fantasies.Wonder what she looks like now?

Havenay had the log in issues Bunny (mainly because I stay logged in) but adverts abound.

And she’s back.

Speaking of demented gay fantasies did anyone hear Hegseth’s soliloquy in praise of his glorious emperor?Tongue and Arshdeep come to mind.

I see the UK has just replaced USA at the top of Putin’s most hated nations list.Good to know we’re doing something right.

I did promise more from these chaps,here’s 8 mins worth. https://youtu.be/JHj0e_yH3Zg?si=CAEmnofsWmeIIWLI

So we have Bumrah and cARSE playing but Tongue’s asking why Arshdeep isn’t playing? Wot? Bad taste?Sounds like the setup to one of @hunnybunny‘s rude jokes.

Yes I know and the head groundsman said he would have bowled.I think he might have got more out of the wicket than some of our duds.

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]

So it’s day one of a huge 5 test series.Chance to put down a marker.It’s a baking hot day.Your strength is your batting given Archer,Wood & Atkinson are unavailable.Their strength is their batting.You win the toss and decide to have a bowl…Why?…anyone?…?!?

I will check out the J2ME ref as I’m always interested in playing original levels I’ve never seen before.Do they include versions for pc emulator?
