TheGunnShow 5,940 Posted December 19, 2022 Heard the Haaland chant that someone/some group called CTID turned into a song. I'm not sure it's flattering that I knew within a second which German song they'd pinched as the melody. So rather than give you the chant itself, here's the original song. Pretty much guaranteed to fill a dancefloor quickly in eastern Germany amongst people of a certain age. They actually got the band back together to do it in Moscow in 2020, 41 years after initially releasing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sad times. I only got to see them once, at Glastonbury, which wasn't their best to be honest, but by all accounts, seeing them in a smaller venue was a great night out.

I saw them at the Millennium Square in Leeds in 2009-Terry was winding up the crowd telling them that he was a Man Utd fan-and at Alexandra Palace in 2011. No Jerry Dammers which was a shame. Early gigs must have been an occasion, I imagine the atmosphere was a mix of fun and violence, especially on tour with The Clash. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,526 Posted December 21, 2022 A right mix ... Soft rock (I love the breathless singing voice of this woman. Live version here - Low Light is the song), some smooth jazz and finishing with some nice funk. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,563 Posted December 22, 2022 20 years ago today since Joe died, I’ll be listening to a lot of The Clash later 👍 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted December 23, 2022 Arguably one of the leaders of Psychedelic music. A rock Opera before people had thought of it. Wore the vinyl out and kept it protected at parties. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 5,940 Posted December 29, 2022 Not sure if I've lobbed in any Portsmouth Sinfonia before - the orchestra that famously couldn't play their instruments. This video just matches the audio carnage. Priceless! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FenwayFrank 2,459 Posted January 5, 2023 Did anyone see Post Modern Jukebox at the UEA about a year ago ? I heard they were very good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard they were very good They have some good stuff on YouTube. Their version of Stacey's Mom is excellent. Controversial opinion time, but I think Within Temptation's cover of Running Up That Hill is better than even Bush's original. Used it as my final song psyching up for the Torshavn half-marathon last year. A personal tradition of mine before any half-marathon, to get mentally ready, is to listen to three favourite songs (An Toll Dubh by Runrig/Paul Mounsey, Men of Harlech by the Fron Male Voice Choir, and Highland Cathedral by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards) and one ever-changing "plus-one" song. That said, I'll be taking Highland Cathedral out and replacing it with the wonderful Yma o Hyd in future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
