21.02.2026 07:13 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Enjoying these. You may have already mentioned it and I missed it, but how about Peter Shelley’s 1974 hit, ‘Drug Me, Drug My Dog’?

16.02.2026 15:25 — 👍 3 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0Oh my god, a knockabout comedy romp starring ‘90s Wu Tang would be incredible! I’d certainly take that over Catch Us If You Can or Gonks Go Beat any day (those are the first two post-Help! movies that spring to mind, but there are more). I guess Spice World was an attempt to revive the genre…
13.02.2026 07:14 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Love it! I watched that movie so many times as a kid. Haven’t seen it in years now, but I know I’d still be grinning from start to finish. I think plenty of other movies attempted to do a similar thing with other ‘60s bands, but most of them are barely remembered now, as they just weren’t as good!

Companion video, discussing how Patti's reputation as a punk pioneer can overshadow a string of superb classic rock LPs, and contemplating the shamefully-vehement anti-disco backlash among rock fans of the '70s, as well as sharing some recording and arranging insights! youtu.be/U2gFOsAY_N4?...

Post a banger that isn’t in English

Yes! My partner’s into Midwest emo/math-type stuff, and the jump from say Joan of Arc or Covet to selected old Genesis or King Crimson stuff wasn’t too daunting, really! I’d also add: get them listening to the music before seeing album covers or photos, which can prejudice a listening experience…

Companion video, looking at how Green Day have hung onto some of their punk principles despite stadium rock stardom, and tracing their Trump-baiting chant back to Texan hardcore radicals, MDC - part of the brilliantly anarchic Austin punk scene of the early '80s! youtu.be/DMwA1k7vUzk?...
04.02.2026 15:07 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I’ve been listening to that song for many decades now, and there are still several points in it that can make me start welling up, for reasons I’ve never been able to pinpoint. Incredible writing, but it’s to do with the performance too, I think (covers never quite have the same effect)!

Companion video, discussing Katseye's creation through the draconian K-pop system and subsequent reinvention via the left-field chaos-pop of 'Gnarly', and celebrating the equally chaotic appeal of The Slits, whose spiky, minimalist grooves anticipated post-punk! youtu.be/CygvopD9JWQ?...
