Gimme some music reccomendations!

I've only listened to it the once so will give it more of a bash at some point.

 

Having never seen Bloc Party (also shoul dhave been quicker for the Apollo) I really want to see them and this seems a good opportunity so I'll definitely be trying to get tickets.

I saw them at a tiny venue called Night & Day cafe in Manchester when they first started out when Tom Vek was supporting them; it really was one of the greatest gigs ever. Soak up the Biffy Clyro stuff, you'll love it.

I love Night & Day, used to love playing there when living up north.

 

Sorry, as you were.

That puts you up with Owen in the 'massive-gig-going-bastard' stakes.

It would be impossible not to love it. Great gigs for about four quid, great atmosphere and and endless supply of cold bottled Budvar. One of the things I was most looking forward to when me and a mate were looking to start up a music promotion company was putting on my own nights like that.

I’ll tell you what, in all the venues I’ve ever played in it gives out the best sound. Plus the sound engineer really knows what he’s doing, on stage it was the best mix I’ve ever heard coming from the drum monitors.

 

We keep meaning to do a show there for the good old days as we all miss going there.

 

Used to be nothing better than jumping on a short train ride and walk to Oldham street where we would stay in there for the day.

 

I must go back soon

Did I ever tell you about the time I saw Tim and Charlotte from Ash play a secret acoustic gig in the Life Cafe in Liverpool? That was pretty sweet.

You're stock keeps on rising.

 

Oh, Gorilla Biscuits are doing a tour in autumn some time.

Here is the new official video from Biffy for the single ""Living is a problem because everything dies": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsSqFMNAf2o

 

They've taken the minute off the start with the drums which is a shame, obviously makes it more tv and radio friendly though.

 

For anyone who is into Biffy or just likes the above tune they were in at Radio 1, with Colin Murray, this week and the section of the show they were on can be heard here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio1_aod.shtml?radio1/murray_biffy

Oooh, liking that. Sounds like they've moved back to the 'Vertigo...' sound, which is good.

Check out the other clip on youtube with the full version on it, there's a really unique minute at the start of the full version that rules. The link is on the previous page of this thread I think. Like I say earlier on I'm working back through their back catalogue and loving it; this album is going to be much bigger that the previous three.

ace band

[Owen]

I heard this last night on the Colin Murray show and thought it was fucking brilliant. Class tune with some very funny lyrics in there, even if you're not into the tune persevere with it for the lyrics:

 

"Thou shalt not judge a book by it's cover, thou shalt not judge Lethal Weapon by Danny Glover": class. Great Beardage too.

 

He also played a really good mash-up of the Caeser's 'Jerk it out' and Stevie Wonder's 'Uptight (Everything's alright)' but I can't find that anywhere.

 

What do you reckon to that first track then brothers?

 

Some downloads here.

 

Also, check out the Sex Patels. Germ Free Adolescent is rockin a Morcheeba-with-sitars vibe. Is it a cover? Once in a Lifetime deserves a place on the best covers thread.

Certainly is. It was a hit for X-ray spex in the late 70's. This weird clip is the best I could find.

 

Loving that Once in a Lifetime by the way.

Good knowledge!

Good knowledge!

I was a 9 year old punk!

Used to love that album, I'm gonna have to go round to my Mum's and try and dig it out.

Bought the new Dinasaur Jr LP today with the original line up - J Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph. I haven't listened to it yet but would still recommend it.

Good, but not great. Two or three cracking songs I reckon.

That's good enough for me.

Ooof. Wrong to the extreme.

Bit harsh that lad. Freak Scene, Just Like Heaven, Whatevers Cool With Me were all quality songs, and the first 2 albums were good. Green Mind wasnt that bad either.

Granted, I could name you 20 grunge/Seattle/garage/late80s early 90s stylee bands that were better, but Dinosaur Jr werent as bad as you're making out.

[wiiksie]

Ooof. Wrong to the extreme.

These (dead) young-uns today. Dont know shit :whistle:
