Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I had it on at the weekend before I went out. Never been the biggest fan of the Buzzcocks but what a string of great singles. "I Don't Mind" is so full of twists and turns for a supposed basic punk band.WestwayKid wrote: ↑07 Dec 2018, 10:12am511r4v0rTUL._SX355_.jpg
For my money...maybe the greatest collection of singles in rock history.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I saw Vic Godard and the Subway Sect in Manchester on Saturday, so have been listening to Vic a lot. All the music played between bands was the Buzzcocks/solo Pete Shelley. All sounded great, not least Why Can't I Touch it? which I had been playing a lot recently because it is on the excellent Death Disco compilation CD that Marky D recommended.Heston wrote: ↑10 Dec 2018, 12:45pmI had it on at the weekend before I went out.

"Why Can't I Touch It" is awesome it shows their influences being so much more than just being another punk band. Can and krautrock are a big influence.laxman wrote: ↑10 Dec 2018, 1:53pmI saw Vic Godard and the Subway Sect in Manchester on Saturday, so have been listening to Vic a lot.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Sonic Jesus, Neither Virtue Nor Anger. Dark post-punk revivalists from Italy, I think. There's nothing remotely original about them (at least so far)—Galaxie 500 comes to mind most prominently—but it's good stuff.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
A solid intro compilation to the band. Highly recommended.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Bought the Nick Cave reissue of Murder Ballads, with the album also on DVD. Listening to it in 5.1 and it sounds great. I fear this will tempt me into getting all the other reissues!

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
My head is indeed beginning to smoke! The videos are pretty crappy picture quality, but doesn’t really matter because I probably won’t ever play them again (like all my other music DVDS, I can’t be the only one?)

Yes I am sure I have some ‘bonus disc dvds’ I have never watched.laxman wrote: ↑15 Dec 2018, 3:35pmMy head is indeed beginning to smoke!

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Hello,
Against Me! - Against Me! is Reinventing Axl Rose. Great. Political. Rock. I really like most of their catalog. This is a great album although others may want to start with New Wave. Their confrontational stance and literacy is rare. I don't know why they don't get much attention 'round here. Perhaps not as much now, but there was a time where they could claim they were the only band that mattered - there was really no one like them.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I have them all and they are great, but what videos are you referencing? I thought the only video on those dvds was the tribute documentary for each album?laxman wrote: ↑15 Dec 2018, 3:35pmMy head is indeed beginning to smoke!

The Murder Ballads DVD has the promo videos of Henry Lee, Stagger Lee and Wild Roses, as well as the tribute doc.Kory wrote: ↑16 Dec 2018, 12:41amI have them all and they are great, but what videos are you referencing?
