An observation: Carpenters fever seems to be gripping the board

I think Karen had a beautiful voice and I hate that she struggled with an eating disorder, but, no, I will not be succumbing to Carpenter Fever.

She was a monster drummer too, Jenny (and could sing and play at the same time, no mean feat, that).

I got a 2 disc best-of from Amazon last year for a penny and some of that stuff really takes me back, and anyway I already proved my coolness bona fides for life in 1980

Whenever someone mentions the Carpenters I am reminded of one of my favorite Rockford files episodes. There's a silly line where a cop is questioning this guy and he days he was just hanging out listening to the Carpenters. The cop ask if they were hammering loudly. Damn I love that show need to revisit.

Hahahaha!

And yeah, The Rockford Files was great.

Conversation between me and the missuz, re. the Manchester benefit concert the other day:
Me: Awful music, but for a good cause.
Her: So, this generation's Live Aid?

Well at least they were truly live at Live Aid, loads of stuff seemed to be on backing tapes.

Special mention to Robbie Williams for a truly appalling performance, he was like a hoarse old pantomime dame. Liam Gallagher wasn't much better, his voice was an atonal whine that reminded me of an old electric shaver I used to have.

So he's still at the peak of his ability.

Just listened to Live Forever and oof, that's rough.

Ariana sounded great per usual though.

Not as rough as Robbie, it was toe curling.

I don't know what Robbie sounded like normally since he was never remotely popular here, so I don't have a basis of comparison, but I'll give it a spin.

Good lord, Jesus Jones still exists and have an album coming out this year. It's that kind of stuff that keeps me from believing in a Judeo-Christian deity.

Maybe they'll score a surprise Top 20 hit about the dire hopelessness of the new world order and new bosses being the same old bosses, then de-inspire an entire generation by being sampled in far too many product jingles.
