There was an earlier band from Ireland called Girl Band, circa 2012/13 if I recall. Fontaine’s DC do seem to owe a bit to them. The shouty voice over post punk riffs.

Anyway I read that Girl Band, over v […]

Totally agree on Stella Donnelly. She is good on record but great live. I think part of it was that she was jazz trained. Her chord structures are a bit different from the usual pop.

I’m also with you on Lula W […]

I second you in your love of WWDITS. It is silly but makes me laugh out loud several times an episode. I like the part you quoted but my personal favourite was probably the end of the Werewolf fight.

A recent trip to New Orleans re-energised my listening to the good Doctor. I first saw him around 1985 when his heroin habit made him look around 80 years old. The “habit” had pushed his career into decline and […]

Lauren Laverne played a track by them the other day which sounded very good. Thanks to your review I will try and get to see them on Friday in London

I think his argument is not realising Meghan was mixed race. I tend to believe him based on 30 years or so when i’ve never heard him remotely be racist. However, everyone will have their own opinion.

Dave, I think he has admitted/tweeted that his loathing for Hoddle is all due to non-selection of his mate Gazza (right decision in my mind) DB’s continued criticism of a Hoddle made me think less of him (DB not Hoddle)

Thank you Mod Team. Brighton by any chance? Meeting the Rockers over Easter?

I really look forward to this thread every month, even as a lurker than a contributor.

It seems sad then that it has not been pinned to encourage further participation as was traditional.

Please MODS

I know this is a stupid question (and one probably asked before) – but which is the best departure point for listening to RH, I.e. which album.

I KNOW I should love him based on his friends, influences, etc […]

Is there such a thing as Best Of Fuzzy Warbles, either physical or playlist. I have wanted to imbibe but the sheer size of it does put me off a bit

I was lucky enough to see them at SXSW recently, having liked their music over the last 18 months. I was surprised to see so many American fans singing along with the words – they seemed to be going places. Seemed […]

She is fantastic live. Funny and invigorating.

Does the Bass Player still do his solo encompassing the great Bass Rock riffs of our time. A highlight when I saw them in the 80s

I’m never convinced by the “Rock Is Dead” argument. Rock is still around but has to share space with more differing strands of music. Many youngsters today are discovering their version of Rock; be it the tradi […]

I can never resist watching On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Every time I hope the ending changes………..sadly it never does.

Sadly, Stan and Ollie was Oscar eligible but did not receive any nominations. It opened in the US in late 2018. At least the Golden Globes nominated John C Reilly and the BAFTAs have nominated Steve Coogan

I read that they are on Saturday Night Live on US TV soon. That’s a pretty big gig so I presume they’ve already hit a significant level of popularity in the US

But thank you for contributing to my thread 🙂

It has not been going down like hot potatoes!
