Really enjoying the Scorsese doc. Interesting childhood/young adulthood to say the least!!

To paraphrase Harold McMillan "We'd never had it so good". Except it somehow maybe got even better in 78 and 79.

I know a couple of fans of the Blue Lights who basically blitzed season 3 in one day. That's 6 hours of TV!!
I'm wary we're building this up too much and you're going to be disappointed that it's not NYPD Blue or The Wire 😉

I agree. Usually all but the most exceptional series tail off after season 2, but season 3 surpassed the first two which were already really good.

Ah right, you know I've kinda clocked that Scorsese thing when I've been surfing through stuff to watch but kind of glossed over it. Just had a quick swat up on it, it's a def watch!

Yeah I get you, and I don't think the Brits can match the US cop shows over the years. But with this being NI focused it's a different angle. Also no "stars" is refreshing. Maybe give S1 ep 1 a go, see what you think?

It's in my Netflix watchlist, but can't get myself up for watching it yet. Might watch tonight, I'm the one who's tasked for picking Sat night film to watch and have been struggling for picks recently.
You watched The Room Next Door? Sounds like it's well rated but seems to be quite a heavy subject

I was just going to recommend The Hack as well. I wasn't sure I'd fancy it but it was excellent. RC, T Jones and D Tennant all great. Blue Lights was excellent yet again for S3

Gutting

Oh pal, that's brutal. It must have been heartbreaking at the time to not just be able to put one of these albums on. Luckily we now have streaming services to scratch that itch, and lots of that stuff from back then is on there, if not will be on Youtube - nothing beats reggae on vinyl though.

Schoolboy error on my part. Just noticed that HA video has a pic of the DanceHall Style album and Skylarking isnt on that LP. Oh well, highly recommend that LP for you to listen if you get a chance CC

Wayne Jarrett is another great artist that did stuff on the Wackies label in a similar style to the HA album. This is from the wonderful album Showcase Vol 1

Let's hope not, but his performance on Sky on Sunday was job interview by broadcast TV.

If Lennon gets appointed I'm out after 50 yrs attending games. And if the forums I read, and other online content are anything to go by that is the overriding sentiment even before tonights resignation.

We were lucky to get 0 mate.

Aye, don't remind us ffs😂

I have those amps. Superb pieces of retro kit.

I've never seen anything like it before or since. He was 18 at the time(same age as me) and I read that he was an amateur boxer and a schoolboy international footballer so he was obviously as fit as a fiddle.

Saw The Skids supporting The Stranglers at Glasgow Apollo May 26 1978. Spent the whole gig mesmerised by this Tasmanian devil of a singer skipping and dancing and shadow boxing the length and breadth of the stage for 30 mins, an absolute force of nature. Guitarist wasn't bad either!

We called them Jesus Sandals. Perhaps a regional thing?

Excellent, sounds like you had a great time. Two listens in, and the LP is a blast too.

Can't wait to hear the three Boards of Canada produced songs. An exciting, if pretty unlikely marriage.
