From being into Showaddywaddy as a kid I got into futurist stuff as an adolescent. I still listen occasionally to Yazoo, Japan, Human League, Depeche Mode and Soft Cell from the era, but Heaven 17 is the one I return to the most. My ex General Science teacher called Mick Myers used to like Showaddywaddy. I gave him a cassette with some of their songs on to get out of a detention once.

Parsnip Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I LOVE in a big way The Flaming Lips. I play their music always. This is magical. Geniuses. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/entertainment-arts-55794674 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been back stage at Brixton Academy with Billy Bragg, met The Stone Roses on Sauchihall Street the first time they played Glasgow Green in the early 90's when I was on the guest list with friends, and have chatted to Shaun Ryder, Bez, David Gedge, Martin Stephenson etc and I will forever love music. Slightly obsessed with The Wedding Present, as I've seen them play live over 80 times. I'm currently putting a folder together with the ticket stubs I've kept, I've found 76 of The Wedding Present so far. The folders of all the other bands ticket stubs I've kept will keep me busy until the day I die. Stinky Turner and Cockney Rejects live at The Ajanta club in Derby. Now there was a gig.

StockholmRam Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Not many for Derbys own Anti Pasti. Quite a decent second gen punk band back in the day. Still have a listen to ” No Government” every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Derby’s other main contender The Enemy....but I think Avoid were better than either of them But for Derbyshire’s finest punk/oi band, surely it has to be Blitz, by a mile....razors in the night, somebody’s going to die, & never surrender we’re all cracking tunes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just the problem, it’s not just things wrote in the media, It is drivel coming out of the once great mans mouth... his opinions on Tommy Robinson, dianne abbot, Kevin spacey and Harvey Weinstein are so far removed from my opinions on them that It has definitely tainted his legacy. Even Marr thinks he is a racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
