Re: The Manic Street Preachers Discussion MegaThread
If "They were at the forefront of all those things" actually means at the forefront of bringing those styles to his attention then I think it makes sense, they certainly did that for me. Hmmm possibly. But surely a rockabilly band/artist would be at the forefront of that genre. And I'm sure you had...

Re: Hey limeys
https://i.redd.it/a6ln24sroitc1.jpeg The american ridicule of british food I always think is pretty weird. Aside from the tomato, this is pretty close to what you'd get at Denny's or whatever. It seems like it's a result of jingoism and the usual aversion of people to trying anything that's unfamil...

Re: The Manic Street Preachers Discussion MegaThread
Bringing it all together, I just came across this JDB quote: "I always wanted to be famous, like Napoleon. Then I discovered The Clash... and my destiny was pre-determined." Nicky Wire added: "The Clash's London Calling is probably my most played album of all time. To us, they became icons, the she...

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Maybe it's my age and this is way off, but I feel like the stigma of popular music wore off in the early to mid 2000s. Like it always had a negative reputation relative to "better music" be it indie rock, jazz, various subsects of punk that are/were antithetical to punk. I think popular music has g...

Re: Topper to Join ex-Motorhead Eddie Clarke and Pete Way - NME, August 1982
Aww, you will have seen some legendary headliners. Nirvana, New Order... Budgie :twitch: Budgie were like OK to be fair. Preferred them to when Meatloaf and Hothouse Flowers got bottled. Still the Friday night of '88 had Iggy, Ramones and The Godfathers. :approve: Would be nice irony if the Flowers...

The original was mastered well, so not sure what could be improved. I also already own the B-sides. That said, I'm glad this album is getting a reappraisal. It was ...

Re: Topper to Join ex-Motorhead Eddie Clarke and Pete Way - NME, August 1982
Reading August 1982.jpg It became really "rock" for a few years in the 80s. I went every year from '78 to '98. All bar one year when it was cancelled. It was only half an hours walk from my house. Aww, you will have seen some legendary headliners. Nirvana, New Order... Budgie :twitch: Budgie were l...
