ron obvious 1,473 Posted September 20, 2018 Well that was ... very nice.But there''s an awful lot of nice music out there. Generally I like to be disturbed, moved in some way - taken somewhere I haven''t been before. Life''s a bit too short really (& time slips away ... ).

First Wazzock 863 Posted September 20, 2018 Being an old DJ, you have to have an interest in dance music.My interest moves all the time, Motown, old interesting stuff from their undercard, R&B - proper R&B not bl@@dy Beyonce, and Northern Soul. Currently I''m going through a Northern Soul phase - which is basically old R&B - hopefully I''ll get the chance as some time to do another hour on Chrissie Jacksons show (Radio Norfolk) to do and hour of Northern Soul. Here''s a taster... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYZj7rx7QuU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their new album is far more mainstream than i''m used to but James is a great lead vocalist and the album was number 1 in the charts for a week or two I believe). They have a song called Hunstanton Pier actually, here''s a link (alot slower than their usual songs) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=te712XaVMgM[/quote]Haha! Funny you should mention those guys! I''m from that neck of the woods (went to school in Hunny) and I know a tonne of people in that vid!

BobLoz3 486 Posted September 21, 2018 [quote user="keelansgrandad"]Radio Cornwall during the day. When it first came on air it was shanties with a finger in your ear but now everyone is my age listening they do play mostly from my era onwards.While relentlessly playing anything with the late Terry Kath, my favourite guitarist, playing I am listening more and more to soulful country rock.: Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, St Paul and the Broken Bones and a bit of Alabama Shakes[/quote]St Paul and the Broken Bones are fabulous! Their singer...wow. The face of Alan Carr with the voice of Marvin Gaye! Amazing. Their performance on NPR''s Tiny Desk Concert is one of my favourites and they played in Norwich not long ago too.If you like them, may I suggest you also check out Nick Waterhouse. Sublime stuff!

Sublime stuff!Thanks for that Bob. Did you get to see them in Norwich? I know they aren''t doing anything new but it is so great to hear that music live. Paul Janeway the singer is Otis reincarnated. Their version of I''ve been loving you too long is breathtaking. They are playing five dates in the UK in November.I saw Nick Waterhouse on Live from Daryls House. Very good he is too. I am sure I saw him on Jools Holland a few years back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only just stumbled across it but I’m now downloading and catching up when I can, although I’m struggling to listen to everything I have stored ATM. So much music to listen to I’ve ditched The Archers podcast.And a big, big shout out for BBC 6 music, definitely a reason to go to DAB, I couldn’t be without it now. Cerys Matthews is always playing great stuff and surprIsingly I’ve probably discovered more new music from Iggy Pop’s show than any other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,473 Posted September 21, 2018 I''m sure you do like jazz, Nuff Said. A lot of people do. Unfortunately to me it sounds like a group of talented musicians showing off by stuffing as many notes into a short a space of time as possible. I''m full of admiration, but seldom much more. rather like the way opera singers with fabulous voices scream at each other from a distance of 2 feet accompanied by acting not seen since the days of silent movies.I do like King Crimson''s Discipline album though, which is about as close to a kind of jazz as I can get.The Fall sound interesting, but his voice was just to unmusical for me (as is Bob Dylan''s).The human voice is such an individual instrument which makes it endlessly fascinating. It''s the reason I generally don''t like the trained classical voice as it is trying to attain some sort of non-existent perfection. Different voices are going to appeal to different people & you just have to accept that.Polly does it for me. The missus can''t stand her. Here she is declaiming the story of Eve''s temptation in about two minutes:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NxSbpqtvs4You salty dog!You filthy liar! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I´ll go back again, but it might be a bit of time...although His band are carrying on under another name (Imperial Wax) with a new singer, might go and see them sometimeIt´s a lot of Icelandic rap with me now, and stuff like MogwaiAlthough right now I´ve got Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath - live at the Capital Centre 1977, on the go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 4,938 Posted September 23, 2018 ARrgghh!! Not the Tull, they’re my Kryptonite. Ian Anderson’s voice just makes my hackles rise. For years I thought I hated anything with a flute on it until I realised it was only Jethro Tull I hated.Cerys Matthews has coincidently just played some very groovy jazz flute. Nice!And Ron, give Kind of Blue by Miles Davies a try when you’re in a relaxed frame of mind. That is very definitely about what’s left out, not squeezing notes in. If you don’t find something in there, then I’m afraid you’re a hopeless case 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuff Said 4,938 Posted September 23, 2018 The Fall at Essex Uni was my first ever gig. A bit hard core for me. A huge punk pushed his way to the front and as soon as Mark E. Smith got close enough, he grabbed him and pulled him off the stage. Bouncers appeared from nowhere and swamped him, dragged him off and threw him outside. I went a bit safer with The Human League for my second. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
How I Wrote Elastic Man 1,167 Posted September 23, 2018 I remember The Fall playing the UEA back in 85.
