Good to see huge posters for gigs again, haven't seen these since the late 80s! Fine band too. Well done Bristol!

Well they've certainly got a super name!
Thanks will check out.

Indeed! Very shocked being a sensible reaction!

The debut did little for me despite the hype.
Tina is great. Remember the great stories about how shocked they were by the Mondays' antics when they produced them? 😂😂

Fuck me! :

Bought my first Talking Heads album the other day - 50p on cd! Remain in Light - very good too. What's their best album folks?
Wouldn't have had them down as big Joy Division fans but The Overload would suggest otherwise!
#TalkingHeads

It's a thing of wonder isn't it!

And for me Gary, plus still such a beautiful album.

@douglashartley.bsky.social All the ace Electrafixion b sides on Spotify Dougie.
Just played some of the album, Will surely never louder than on Feel My Pulse which I haven't heard for about 30 years - good song.

It was lonely in the charity shop only asking for £1.50, what else could I do?!

In writing the old classics..

A Matter of Time album.

A friend told me last month the Huey-less Fun Lovin' Criminals had a new album out, pleasantly surprised when I Spotted it that's it's really good! So I had to buy the cd 😊. The new guitarist is a good addition and the songs prove Fast must have had a big hand in the old classics.

Absolutely!

You're dark Dougie ;)
Maybe they're on Spotify? If not I'll bring them up when Roddy plays Glasgow 🤞.

We saw them at the Reading Festival and they were fucking excellent!

I'm too old to be arsed to travel 150 miles!

Thanks to @tansleyjames.bsky.social for inspiring me to play my Electrafixion cd singles, been far too long! Didn't like the album but these are still so good 💗, some fine B sides too. Where are you on the band @douglashartley.bsky.social ?
Terrible name for a band it has to be said 😂.

Let's hope so pal.

Cats amongst the Pigeons? Let's have it!

I've been trying to see them for about 37 years!!

Well done Colin. They're not playing anyway near us :(

P.s. didn't realise you were a huge Bros fan..

Have failed many times in my attempt to see Yeah Yeah Yeahs, on the bucket list still. Have you seen them?

Yes, that was a strange band wasn't it James - I concur Lowdown was really good. Co-written with Johnny Marr iirc..

And new things about the history of Manchester.
