Dunno – he wrote 9 Oasis tracks with a solo writing credit, including two A-sides, a further 9 Beady Eye tracks over the two albums, including 3 A-sides, and 8 tracks on his first solo album including 2 A-sides.

A dismal two (85 & 6), but then I don’t read a lot of fiction.

I’ve seen 15 of them as films/TV series/stage plays – does that count?

Ta – not familiar with most of those.

Thanks – I have the Yo La Tengo (saw them live in Belfast around this time too) and The Knife (plus the two Fever Ray albums), but only have Baduizm, so I’ll give New Amerykah a go. Untrue would be in my top 5 o […]

Thanks Paul – I’ll check those out. I have King Geedorah’s “Take Me To Your Leader” (MF Doom’s alias) which I liked.
Also want to hear the Chromatics (85) – I liked them in Twin Peaks and meant to follow up on them.

I have seen 92 of the films (I’m including Capernaum which I bought last week but haven’t got around to watching yet), and own 79 of the albums. I’ve even noted the numbers of those not yet consumed (Film: 96 / […]

There’s a lot of good records in this genre, but the Roy Davis Jr. track above is the only one i’d give classic status to. This is not far off though:

Shanks & Bigfoot – Sweet Like Chocolate

Gambaccini’s only a year older than Hep!

Haven’t got through the whole album yet, but have played this to death today…

Ah, @Kid-Dynamite, a fair point – I feel like I should hand over a badge of some sort for missing that! In my defence, I bought a copy from the dodgers just under three years ago with exactly the same sleeve, but […]

I really liked Goodbar when I saw it on VHS in the 80s – features Richard Gere and Tom Berenger (who I just saw in a Cheers re-run this morning) in early roles, and a very haunting ending.

Not sure what […]

I love his work – he often gives his mixes a bit of extra oomph in the bass department, then brings out the best parts from the original mixes and let’s them shine – his mixes of Don’t Leave Me This Way and Lov […]

This is one of my favourite 80s indie tunes…

Who are these DC Fontaines you both speak of? 🙂 Are they anything like Fontaines D.C., ‘cos they’re very good? Their album is amazing, packed with attitude, energy and great tunes.

My favourite film so far this year is Peter Strickland’s comic-horror masterpiece “In Fabric”, his fourth film after Katalin Varga, Berberian Sound Studio & The Duke Of Burgundy (all great, if you’ve missed […]

Lived in Hull for two years in the 90s, went to loads of gigs, but but ventured to the Adelphi only once…

And “Johnny Too Bad” , “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright, “Singin’ In The Rain,…

I saw them play the Adelphi in Hull in about 1997 (I think they were still just Fonda back then) – I thought they were tremendous, but as you mention, all the unfinished songs per album grew frustrating, and I […]

@Kaisfatdad – have you heard the Pavarotti version of “Caruso”?

@duco01 I seem to recall it’s actually PLP not PIP, PLP standing for “public leaning post”, I suppose meaning to hang around with, though implying a degree of intimacy – someone you can lean on.
