Kin ell Stu
And I thought *I* was the oldest raver in town. It's like a Satdi all-neighter at BYO.
I last heard LFO in a boozer in Heumarkt in Cologne one hazy night in the middle of WC06. A reight track.

Oh that FT is very stinkin cute, along with that song, but I did read on Twitter he was getting a tattoo on his inner lip! ouch and ewwwww!! Don't have any me'sen, though occasionally I entertain the idea...
-
FT's New album out very soon.
Can't wait to see him again either, although its only been 6 months since :lol:

Some up and coming inoffensive little beat combo I went to see the other night

In my opinion the best track of that era of music from the north. Shame it was from Manchester and not Leeds or Sheffield.
-
Ahhhhhh Frank!! Not many more sleeps now :)
So, aside from Frank, I have mainly been listening to the following recently:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=colUy6suq0U
This is Tribes, a 4 piece from Camden - the video is from their gig at Sheffield on Saturday night which was the 4th time that I have seen them over the past 8 months or so. They are about to release a new album, Wish to Scream - the stuff I have heard is awesome but it will have to go someway to be better than their first album, Baby.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mywi3pjHkR4
This is Kodaline, a 4 piece from Dublin - very up and coming, I imagine they will make it BIG. First saw them in Camden supporting the Vaccines a few months ago, video above is from their gig in Leeds a week or so ago. I mainly want to do naughty things with their lead singer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxXq-_0-y7E
Biffy Clyro, need no introduction. Their gig at the arena the other week was the best I have been to in a while, despite being stuck in the seats. They are absolutely amazing live.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-gcORyyCf8
Gaslight Anthem - they were a new discovery of mine last autumn, can't get enough of them - the above video is from when I sat for 16 hours on a coach to go and see them on my own in Paris. Such lovely guys too, but thats another story!

Much as I enjoyed 808 State, A Guy Called Gerald and LFO, they were rather lightweight compared to some of the techno stuff coming from mainland Europe in that era. Like a bit of candyfloss compared to THIS flash-fried 20 oz steak
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1cRGVaJF7Y
Or this lot from Switzerland, using sampling to make entire new sounds before the bell ends on ToTP had even heard of that "Ah-Yeah!" sample that Timmy Mallett made famous.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdhHMXTGCC8
(Admittedly, it were shite trying to pull the blart while frugging to that one...)
Mind, if you want a bit of lightweight UK euphoric techno fluff, this were a half decent one.

If you like R & B, The Robert Cray Band's new album is fab. Here is a link, sorry can't attach vid.
This is one of the sings from it...

I've always like Stereophonics and when 'Decade in the sun' was first released, about 2008 ish, I bought it straight away. I can't get enough of this though.

In particular "The day that Thatcher Dies"
Check it out.

I'm gonna dig some late 80s vinyl out after the match tonight.
"She was only the grocer's daughter" by the Blow Monkeys, I think.

See, at the time, largely thanks to the lads at Fon and Warp records in Sheffield, I was looking the other way towards Detroit and Chicago. Kraftwerk with added funk, stuff like:

With you there RD.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syhAnUX7xQI

A bit more Chicago.
Back in 1990, us we used to go to this little club at the bottom of a multistory car park in Sheffield. Half the crowd were black kids and they all seemed to be amazing dancers, then there were us awkward white kids...
Anyway this track was always the highlight. It involved dancing in pitch black with the occasional burst of strobe light.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2UG3sLkGgo
I don't think any of us had any religious leanings!
-
One of the tightest performances I've ever seen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyDb4szpWmc
-
This thread has made me quite nostalgic. This is a cracking song I still listen to occasionally.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phWv7l8Lm_A
-
RD
Incredibly, despite having loved that sing for 30 years, I've never seen that video before. Ta very much. Shocking barnet, mind.
On the theme of indie bands with accordions, here is the one that should have been the greatest of them all. And spot the compere.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgKPVqulyZU
-
My one regret is that I never saw The The live. I have all their albums, including the first 4 on vinyl. Infected was the soundtrack to getting home from London in 87 from a New Order/Primal Scream gig (that was before Bobby Gillespie rediscovered rock and roll). Ended up sleeping on mailbags on a train that seemed to stop every 10 minutes and got into Donny at about 4.30am. Happy days.
-
Infected eh, one of my all time favourite records. Got the full length video / DVD thingy that I downloaded a while ago.
BTW King Charles was epic at The Leopard last night :thumbsup:
-
I saw The The at some dodgy dive in Moss Side or Rusholme or some such in the 90s. It was around the time of Dusk I guess so some way down from his peak. And to be honest, I can barely remember a thing about it.
So a bit of a non-post then. I think I saw The The, but I didn't remember when, where or what it was like...
-
This thread has spurred me to go back and listen to the The The back-catalogue. Bloody Hell but I'd forgotten how good Soul Mining was. Cool, smooth, spiky, vulnerable, vicious, rough around the edges, some average filler material but moments of sublime genius.
A bit like the Rovers this year.
And here's a nerdy admission.
The night before the play-off final at Stoke, I sat and listened to "I've Been Waiting For Tomorrow (All of My Life)" a dozen times.
(Could have been worse. I could have listened to any of the couple of dozen The The songs that are about having a J Arthur.)
And PS: "I'm just a symptom of the moral decay that's gnawing at the heart of the country" is a line that Mark E Smith would give up ale for.
PPS: Mind, that song wi lines like "You were emotionally independent, but starved of affection. But now you've been trapped by tenderness and been beaten into submission" and the bit about cutting chunks out of your heart and rubbing them into your eyes. That were never going to win an Ivor Novello.

RD. Me too brother. I saw the Chicago Jackmasters House tour in 87 at Sheff Uni. The start of a new era of music. Frugging in the moshpit to rhythms that came from another universe. A dozen Gods that I'd heard fleeting snippets of, and who were suddenly there on stage, showing how dance music's future was going to be.
Although the experience was slightly soiled for me by touching the hand of Daryl Pandy just after he'd been rubbing his gonads while singing "Love Can't Turn Around". The fat, camp, dirty bas**rd
-
Darryl Pandy. Ha!
Now he looked like he'd eaten half of Chicago!
Edit : I didnt know Darryl had died. Shouldnt have come as much of a shock, given he used to sweat out about 5 gallons every night.

Bloody 'ell, I hadn't realised that!
Also found out that Nitro Deluxe has gone an all
http://www.radioclash.com/archives/2012/05/03/rip-nitro-deluxe/
Let's Get Brutal was an astonishing sound from round that time. It sent shivers down my spine when I first heard it. Distillation of cool and funk into a few electronic blips. A perfect synthesis of Kraftwerk and Funkadelic that Afrika Bambaataa and Mantronik had started a few years before.

Aye. I loved "Let's get brutal". Cracking tune. I did a mix of that with Lil Louis' s French Kiss. It was pretty good, even if I say so myself.

I'm into Frank Turner's new stuff at the minute. Also liking the 1975, think I'll see them at Glastonbury and Frightened Rabbit who I used to like then faded from but liking them at the moment.
-
Franks new album is awesome - I've had it on for nearly three weeks and not bored in the slightest, the album tour has been pretty amazing too :)
1975 are ace, seeing them next weekend at Live at Leeds - the lineup is causing me headaches too much to see, too many clashes!
Got Shed Seven tickets for their Christmas tour today, shame is so far away
Get some Rae Morris on, totally beautiful singer songwriter
-
On the subject of music, I notice Tramlines in Sheffield is no longer free this year.
-
£6 a day is hardly gonna break the bank is it.
-
Depends how you look at it. A lot of the local bands and artists are in uproar about it, and are refusing to take part. A lot of the venue's as well are saying they won't be taking part either.
-
Its quite normal to charge though, and at £6 a day its far cheaper than similar events.
Live at Leeds next weekend is about £22 for one day, Dot to Dot in Manchester/Bristol/Nottingham is also in the region of about £25 - although they all have stronger line ups than Tramlines.
At £6 I would say that it is fantastic value - and if people aren't prepared to pay that for a full day of live music then that is their prerogative, makes it less cramped for those of us who aren't tight...
I have decided tonight that I love Fall Out Boy, I feel like I am 19 again and need to go and sit myself in a dark room and have a word with myself!!

I disagree about stronger line ups if you look at past Tramlines ones, although this years is shit. Unless Pulp play, which is rumoured.
-
£6 for a day out is great value, can't see the issue with having to pay a small amount at all (and it's only for certain places, nothing stopping a local bar having free entry anyway).
Jenny, Fall Out Boy? Oh dear, I had a one man crusade against them when I was younger, cannot stand them.
-
These days it's a bit difficult for a local authority to justify helping subsidise a pop music festival, when they're having to make cuts to far more essential services.
£6 doesn't seem bad value at all.

Some people will always find something to moan about...
I know I know, From Under The Cork Tree got me through my ATT days as I locked myself away in Norfolk to revise a good 8 years ago, the new album has taken me back!! Not even ashamed :) don't believe in guilty pleasures, if you like something why feel guilty?? It has a very maroon 5 sound to it I reckon!

It was brilliant, Sandy. I did the same as when my sons and I saw Green Day in Manchester 3 years ago and took a beach ball and had all the kids playing footy on the pitch. It was fantastic.

If you have a spare hour, this is well worth a listen. A reminder of why Sheffield would have been the biggest city in music if people only got the South Yorkshire mentality.
http://www.noiseheatpower.com/godsarticle.htm
Human League and Cabaret Voltaire re-inventing pop music in the early 80s and giving the signpost for where electronic pop music would go. Heaven 17 - South Yorkshire's Wham with irony. And ability. Pulp combining the sharpest of social commentary with the Scott Walker-esque pop perfection. The coolest, most listenable experimental Warp/FoN scene.
And as the writer says, there has never been a more shimmering pop song in history than All of My Heart.
Grand.

He is though undeniably influenced by what goes in London and probably Atlanta for that matter. A couple of decades ago a city like Sheffield could have it's own music scene and sound. I'm not sure it is sufficiently cut off from the world to really develop it's own thing nowadays.

If you have a spare hour, this is well worth a listen. A reminder of why Sheffield would have been the biggest city in music if people only got the South Yorkshire mentality.

Human League and Cabaret Voltaire re-inventing pop music in the early 80s and giving the signpost for where electronic pop music would go. Heaven 17 - South Yorkshire's Wham with irony. And ability. Pulp combining the sharpest of social commentary with the Scott Walker-esque pop perfection. The coolest, most listenable experimental Warp/FoN scene.
And as the writer says, there has never been a more shimmering pop song in history than All of My Heart.
Grand.
I suppose this lad is the latest in that line, he is big friends with people like Winston Hazel.

Barnsley'll be a music powerhouse then I take it ;)

You have to have a sufficient number of people who can understand how to play music too!

It sounds like bog standard Italian House from the late 80s RD. The keyboard right and left hand lines being copies of each other at a couple of octaves apart. If that's the best that Sheffield's bright young things are doing, it's miles away from the revolutionary stuff in the 80s.
I guess you're right about the all-pervading influence of instantly accessible music. Simon Reynolds in the Melody Maker in the late 80s saw it coming. He called it The Excess of Access and predicted that it would f**k up originality in music. Matt Johnson in The The summed it up more eloquently a decade or so back:

"Globalise, Hypnotise, Homogenise.
Kentucky Fried Genocide"
The finest lyrics in the history of music. I've never been able to work out whether Matt Johnson is a genius or a raving f**king headjob.

To be fair to him I think that track is probably not representative, its meant to be a homage to the rave scene. It isn't a very clever take on it, if you ask me.
I think he's more squelchy big distorted electronic baselines. Albeit with that standard high tempo Jamaican dancehall breakbeat. You might just about see a link to the likes of Forgemasters... Maybe.
Actually I heard some new Forgemasters stuff quite recently on Radio Sheffield, it sounded alright. I can't find anything of it online. There is this set.

They still sound like Occasions club in 1990, which I think is a very good thing.

I think I've only just found this famed album until now, but I've started to listen to Tubular Bells (bit late I know), especially for running/biking. The bit from about 15mins til the end with all the instruments is proper bo

I personally like power ballads. I think Heart - Alone is the greatest song ever written.
They are so wrought with passion and emotion - I would recommend anyone to go to an "Ultimate Power" night, they are unbelievable.
Who couldn't like a type of song which encompasses:
- Crashing drum fill, ideally in the bar before each chorus. Absolute pre-requisite for the build-up to any key change.
- Soaring vocals that build throughout the song
- One or more instrumental solos. The more elaborate the better. If the solo is, essentially, unnecessary and self-congratulatory then all the better.
- Several moments where you just can't help but clench your fist as the only means of conveying how the song makes you feel.
PS Contrary to what the above suggests I am not a homosexual.

Excellent work NickDRFC.

It's obviously not the one and only Phil Lynnott, but as far as the sound goes, he's all that's missing :thumbsup:
