45th Anniversary UK Tour to celebrate the 45th anniversary of both the ‘Replicas’ (1979 as Tubeway Army) and ‘The Pleasure Principle’ (1979). Its going old school! I drove down the coast to Boscombe to the O2 Academy as I’ve done more times than I can remember, starting back in 1991 when it was just the Academy in…
According to an article in the Daily Mail yesterday, a study reveals that more than half of Brits enjoy playing music in the office, but it divides opinion as the ‘more than’ is only a 3% difference. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13465409/amp/More-half-Brits-enjoy-playing-music-office.html The article states – The research by Fora – a provider of premium and flexible working spaces –…
33 years ago today, 27 May 1991, Electronic released their debut album, I have said on here before that for me, it was the perfect record at the perfect time. I was a long time fan of The Smiths and a big a fan of New Order so musically a match made in heaven. Add…
What do I know about Niko B? I know as soon as he sang “Take the gherkin out of the inside”, Who’s that? What’s that? Was a regular play in our house, I like the Guerkins!! My wife was an instant fan and I never tired of hearing that, or Mary Berry, or a song…
Dangerous to my ears maybe, loud! But a case of who cares, they were headlining a small tour and loving every minute. A great band I follow, great songs, great melodies, just a great balance of sound which when given a live stage is amplified, in a great way! Gloves are off, the melodic guitar…
Went in cold (metaphorically as only had a quick Spotify listen on the way there), came out with a playlist, signed record and a plus ticked on my Spotify. They were a great live act that im pleased i’ve seen. Towards the end he said “we’ve only got two songs left, these will be high…
Met these lads last year after a day of music, I walked into the Joiners in Southampton and for me they owned the day / night. It wasn’t a competition but when you stand back and reflect on your day, they stood out by a mile. Dates haven’t lined up for gigs since but this…
You may or not be following this, I only started when the email prompts started coming in which was not at the beginning but now, i’m invested in the outcome. Nothing hinges on it, it’s not going to change anything in the music industry or the wider chasm of culture or life, cure famine, bring…
A wide variety of posts appeared last week when the one and only Noel Gallagher ignored the Poznan celebration and it went viral pretty quickly with many joking he’s too cool for that, even brother Liam stating on X “Poor Behaviour”. The main take from it was the many posts stating it’s the new album…
For Men Who Should Know Better I do like the latter part of how Wikipedia describes Loaded Magazine, “Loaded was a men’s lifestyle magazine. It launched as a mass-market print publication in 1994, ceased being issued in March 2015, but relaunched as a digital magazine on 11 November 2015. The content was changed, with risqué…
