Zanti Misfit commented on the post, The Specials on Sky Arts 5 days, 5 hours ago
I absolutely love the music of 2Tone and The Specials since ’79, but it has been documented and written about so extensively that I’m not sure what more can be said about this brief period in popular culture. […]

Zanti Misfit commented on the post, The Golden Age of Easy Listening / On Track – Jack White & The White Stripes 3 weeks, 6 days ago
In the underground scene, there was an easy listening/lounge revival in the UK in the mid-nineties but mainly in London. Loads of clubs like Blow Up, Smashing, Club Indigo, The Regency Rooms, Going Places, […]

I was at that gig. It was me that stopped the fella coming back in.

Three comedy denials detectorists ends before that last Xmas special. The Fall & Rise Of Reginald Perrin ends after the second series. All comedians/ comedy actors of the 20th century were actually well […]

Zanti Misfit commented on the post, An artist's "game over". 4 months, 3 weeks ago
I have a mate who has a theory that XTC lost their ‘XTC-ness’ after the success of Dukes Of Stratosphere. He claims that from Skylarking onwards they became too enthralled with the past, wore their sixties […]

Zanti Misfit commented on the post, Has there been a more successful band with less charisma than the Bee Gees? 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Were The Beach Boys particularly charismatic? Yes, Dennis was very handsome and the only member who could surf, but the others just seemed like quiet nerdy sorts. You could argue that Mike wanted to stand out as […]

Once in an episode of the nineties Sunday evening ITV drama, Heartbeat , a plod procedural set in the Yorkshire Dales at a non-specified period in the 1960s, a new character was described as being ‘a bit […]

Zanti Misfit commented on the post, Music – what is it good for? 8 months ago
Still adore music but it’s perhaps not as essential to me as it once was. As people have said on this thread, ‘over saturation’ and ‘accessibility’ has played its part in the decline. As for new music, very […]

Zanti Misfit commented on the post, An apologies thread 8 months ago
Years ago, I once moaned about a semi-famous singer songwriter on a specific band message board saying he was a bit monosyllabic and miserable when I said hello to him before a gig. I was (and still) a huge fan so […]

Zanti Misfit commented on the post, An apologies thread 8 months, 1 week ago
I apologise for being sarcastic to the poster on here who answered ‘Pulp’ when asked who they preferred out of Blur or Oasis as if they were the first person to ever to say that. Mind you, this minty exchange […]

I first saw them by chance at The Dome in Tufnell Park, funny enough in June, 1992. My mate’s band were supporting them. I was converted there and then. I remember before the gig in the gents watching Jarvis […]

If The Afterword was Doctor Who, I would be a Sontaran. Randomly turn up to cause mischief and then piss off again for ages.

New Years Eve 1996. I’m at a fairly busy house party in Balham, sitting on the staircase drinking a Holsten Pils. Ding dong! The doorbell rings. A guest opens the door and two middle aged women are stood there. […]

Zanti Misfit commented on the post, Elvis Costello and Steve Nieve plus Nick Lowe 9 months, 1 week ago
Nice review, but leave sleepy bloke alone. The man was probably very tired, gutted that he’d nodded off and missed the gig. Also Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding deserve a place on the best living songwriters […]

Does anybody get sexually assaulted? That’s usually the case with Meadows stuff. I think his Stone Roses documentary was the only time this doesn’t occur. I know he deals with this dark subject but sometimes I […]
