Its a bit trebly

Nah it’s a punk rock post innit…snarl! Oi oi Hersham Boys etc etc.

Completely wrong on both counts – and indeed the older I get I find passing off whole genres of music is really not a good idea – you’re shutting off some potential avenues of pleasure for no reason. For instance […]

‘Post Punk’ has become a term which defines a sound rather than an era which I suppose encapsulates music that’s influenced by Wire, Joy Division, The Fall or The Pop Group rather than The Pistols and Sham 69. In […]

Thanks FS. I’m actually running my turntable into a little Spirit desktop mixer and studio monitors (I have more of a home studio setup than a hi-fi tbh). I think that is the culprit as it’s pretty cheap, may be […]

Thanks for the advice Fentonsteve. I wasn’t aware the interference could travel that far. According to mastdata.com there’s some sort of Vodafone installation (can’t see a mast as such) about 1/2 a mile away but […]

He spoke at length about this on a Word podcast a while ago. Prime Ministers Question Time would certainly be good. “Mr speaker would the PM care to tell the house the highest chart position reached by REO […]

Field Music have been around for 15 years so hardly a new band and ‘the kids?’ – surely nobody under 40 reads the Quietus apart from people in bands ? Anyway they’re excellent live, enjoy the gig – I may have been […]

I went through a major Smiths phase as a young teen – good music for then, but long since stopped listening since becoming an adult. Cocked an ear to Moz from time to time out of curiosity but long since stopped. […]

Great work Gav – they’re too busy making lists but at least they’re not bickering!

They’re not on the brink at all, just closing a small number of stores. That they exist at all is nothing short of a miracle. I never buy music from tax dodging, zero hours high-street killing twats unlike most of […]

I go to loads of gigs on my own – it’s not a social occasion for me and I’ll go and watch some live music as often as poss whether anyone else wants to come or not . If you’re unsure about flying solo for a gig […]

I’m fine with dancing and singing, and these days I’m fine with people filming or taking photos (unless the artist has explicitly asked not to – I’ve seen King Crimson for instance who are absolutely clear and […]

Most of my recent gigs have been loud enough to drown out audience din – and on occasion the earplugs come out as I wanna preserve what’s left of my hearing. I’m glad I don’t go to many acoustic, quiet shows. […]

@moose-the-mooche This Mortal Coil covered Gene Clark – so there’s the 4AD connection

Haha! Fair dos and henceforth you’ll always be Mr Snoutychops to me! 🙂

If yr gonna start threads about yourself and your music taste which we’re expected to have a view on, you could have picked a catchier username than “duco01”?

Another ker-ching for the Elton book here ‘The’ must have Afterword gift of 2019 – very readable, high velocity rock thrills so far. Alexis Petridis has done a cracking job.
I’ve also got Steven Morris’s book […]
