That’s great @kaisfatdad. Pre Kid Creole they completely passed me by. I’m currently reading Vivien Goldman’s book Rebel Musix, Scribe on a Vibe Frontline Adventures Linking Punk, Reggae, Afrobeat and Jazz. This […]

The odd thing @Kaisfatdad about the Swedish films of the 80s is that nobody watches the good ones anymore (I’d add Den enfaldige mördaren, Falsk som vatten, the first animated Pelle Svanslös film and Miraklet i V […]

Thanks @Kaisfatdad Should really have previously mentioned: The Long Good Friday (1980) ; that one with Bob Hoskins. Jim Jarmusch, “Down by Law” (1986) and “Mystery Train” (1989)( Jarmusch was really “in” in […]

Mentioned in @Kaisfatdad ‘s OP. How can we have got this far etc with no mention of Spinal Tap?

retropath2 commented on the post, The best songs of the Britpop era 2 weeks, 3 days ago
You make my point sweeter and more succinctly, @kaisfatdad. Loads of good music, just very little retrospectively memorable within the 2D of Britpop. I’d include the Raggle Taggle era Waterboys, the much m […]

@kaisfatdad … not a single I guess, but what about the Redskins doing Billy Bragg (or “Neil Kinnock’s publicity officer”, as Chris Dean calls him)? A great version, I think.

Thanks @kaisfatdad – Dr Mabuse was my intro to the band after seeing the video on TV. I didn’t know it was a Corbijn production but it seems so obvious now in light of the kind of thing he did for Depeche Mode i […]

Yes, I was wrong about the location. In my defence I watched the video when struggling to sleep in the middle of the night so I wasn’t fully with it. Sorry about that @kaisfatdad

I hope you enjoy it, @Kaisfatdad. I based it on the 25 covers (as per your own playlist), but rather than sticking with the actual recording, I kept the composer (mostly) and chose a piece that I would prefer […]

Well, @Kaisfatdad, the two first gigs on my list were attended thanks to Duco telling me about them coming up, in some AW post, so you’re not wrong there! I do sign up for mailing lists, but after a while they […]

@Kaisfatdad that was thanks to @thecheshirecat introducing me to Rheingans Sisters. He surprised me by turning up at one of their concerts in Leeds, come to think of it it was my first time seeing them. I’d just […]

If I’d known that you might do this, @Kaisfatdad, I’d have taken more care with the music and concentrated less on the covers… …something like this, perhaps?

fitterstoke commented on the post, 25 2 months, 3 weeks ago
I’m glad you enjoyed it, @Kaisfatdad – but, although I enjoy most of the composers on my grid, I confess that some of my choices were motivated by the colour and appearance of the cover – and whether I could f […]
