Spiritualized

nickh

To coin a phrase, boy was I ever suckered.

It sounds more like something off the first Slowdive album on second listening.

This was put up on YouTube today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf78_ap_ ... ure=search

Is it the Spacemen? It sounds like it might be. Any ideas people?

Short clip of Walking With Jesus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL3CIX2EPMg Glorious... Despite all the crap that has allegedly gone on between ex-Spacemen, seeing them on stage again together restores my faith in people somewhat. Itâ€™s good to know these guys can put bad feelings (if there are a...

It's also worth saying that Mick Jagger - without doubt one of THE great vocalists of all time - can't actually sing very well. He's one of a list of fantastic singers without a great singing voice. Neil Young is a pretty decent example too. Keith can sing a bit too... http://www.youtube.com/watch?...

A customer of mine recommended this to me.

Some pretty weird stuff, fans of Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin and Chris Cunningham may enjoy. Watch with the lights on though!

Really looking forward to this record now, there are few tasters on Youtube:

I donâ€™t mind them too much so I guess I'm in the couldnâ€™t give a hoot column, mind you I would probably feel less charitable if I was at a match with thousands of them. Someone was blowing one in my local on Saturday evening and that got tedious very quickly. Good to see a Fulham player on the s...

I have to say I am scratching my head here.

I donâ€™t buy this at all.

I'm getting married in October Good luck! I never did post my list, I still have it as a play-list in itunes (this wasnâ€™t me on the wheels of steel and banging tunes they aint).

Iâ€™d like to chip in here too. Around the age of 11 or 12 I got into the whole Two Tone thing, there were a gang of us where I grew up who had a pretty big collection of 7â€ singles that HAD to have the paper label instead of the silver one. We spent all our paper round money on these records and ...

nickh

I was at this gig but barely remember it, were the band sat in a semi-circle? I do remember a heckle coming from somewhere to my left after Anyway You Want Me though! Whilst I enjoyed quiet Spiritualized that ULU show a few months later was kind of what Iâ€™d hoped Spiritualized would become. They ...

nickh

It was in a small theatre with rows of seats and they had a cello player. I went with a group of people, one of whom was expecting a full-blown Spacemen 3 show so had eaten a whole gramme of speed. The gig was amazingly mellow and very far from being noisy so this guy sat there grinding his teeth i...

nickh

That's pure gold.

"David Platt" took his shot well though, also love Gary "Tango Man" Lineker.

Good find

nickh

I only got to see them the once, at the ULU towards their end. I can still remember gazing up at Naomi thinking she was dead cool and wonderful. Great band, great times. I saw them at ULU too - on Nov 15th 1990 (I keep all my ticket stubs) - with Kramer on the mixing desk. Was that the gig you saw?...

I still have an Arthur Lee & Love t-shirt that I drunkenly bought off a pavement seller after staggering out of the Forum about five years ago. What I love about the shirt is that the â€œdesignerâ€ made a huge effort to get the Love logo correct and then in bog standard font (Arial?) underneath...

According to the sleeve notes Oasis reportedly demanded that Slowdive were dropped before they would sign to creation.yeah right. Then again Manic Street Preachers said they hated Slowdive more than Hitler. Me likes them. I can just imagine a total arse like Nicky Wire saying something like that. T...

nickh

I enjoyed Suicide, I actually thought they were pretty funny, Alan Vega and Martin Rev seemed to want to come across as confrontational but didnâ€™t quite pull it off. I liked the relentless booff, booff, booff, booff of the drum machine which never changed pace throughout the set. I didnâ€™t really...

nickh

I always chip in when Slowdive are mentioned. I was dumb enough to believe the NME who wrote them off as My Bloody valentine lite and I never bothered checking them out. Spin on a few years later and I spent a small fortune picking up the Creation CDs. The first album has itâ€™s moments I guess but ...

nickh

I saw Gorillaz at the Roundhouse last night. Nice to go to a gig without any real expectations, good or bad of a band and I came away grinning from ear to ear.

nickh

Got mine a few days and have been listening avidly since. The documentary is good too, kind of poignant in parts where Iggy talks about Ron Asheton an the fact that the record sold absolutely squat when it was released. He knew they had made a fantastic record which was roundly ignored and ultimatel...

nickh

For a first timer of both bands it did seem more like a double header to me. Support bands are often ignored (would be hard to ignore the Heads) but the hall seemed pretty busy during their set. I got back fine thanks Simon, Twickenham is a good spot but you have to keep an eye on your watch sometim...

nickh

I was pretty much ignorant of both bands before last night and now a fan, I took the day off and have had Volume 2 on pretty much all day. Wooden Shjips made me think of Suicide and The Seeds (for some reason) and a whole load of others inbetween but still much greater than the sum of their parts. G...

nickh

They were the support for Spacemen 3 at Notre Dame Hall but all I remember was the noisy song they did at the end of their set. Funnily enough I donâ€™t remember them at the Marquee supporting Spiritualized at all. I also saw them at Reading Festival in about 91 (?) when they came on after Nirvana (...

Ads, thank you. I have been inundated with texts and e-mails today saying nice things about Fulham and it's good to know that people are pleased for us.

Fulham (yes Fulham) beating Juventus 4-1 last night. Without question the finest performance I have ever seen by a Fulham side and for our little US striker Clint Dempsey coming off the bench to score a fantastic winning goal after 3 months out with injury made it perfect.

I love the Sopranos (Iâ€™m watching it now) and I've got the Complete Series Box Set. The writing has been consistent throughout the whole six series although got a little bit stale around series 4 IMO, series 2, 5 & 6 are my favourite. I love the surreal quality of some of the episodes and the ...

There is a clip up on the Silent Sound website at the moment: http://www.avfestival.co.uk/programme/1 ... lent-sound

I know we are pretty spoilt here in London but I would really like to see a performance of this, must be a suitable venue somewhere around here.

It doesnâ€™t necessarily follow that if I have been to a duff gig I stop liking that band, if it was I would have stopped listening to Nick Cave (for example) years ago. I was just posting a personal phenomenon that doesnâ€™t compute really but was interested to see if anyone had a similar experienc...

I had been a huge Cocteau Twins fan since I was 15. I finally got to see them at the Town & Country club around 93 and I have to say I have never been so bored. An off night maybe but I have hardly listened to them since. Which tour was that? I think this was around the time of Four Calendar Ca...

There have been bands who I have owned pretty much everything they have ever done and have been so excited to finally get to see them. 10, 20 minutes in to the first gig and...oh shit, this is awful. 2 spring to mind straight away.

Bic Hayes sang and played guitar in a band called Panixsphere when I was a teenager who played around the Twickenham area. They played a gig on the same night as Live Aid at the St Maryâ€™s Church hall.

Amazing what you remember really.

Iâ€™m not a big stones fan and certainly donâ€™t listen to anything after the Mick Taylor era but I am pretty obsessed with this song at the moment from Voodoo Lounge.

I was a huge Bunnymen fan as a teenager although lost the faith around the time of Bring on the Dancing Horses. I got to see them a few times including a storming show at the Hammersmith Palais on the Ocean Rain tour. Iâ€™m also pretty sure that it was the Bunnymen who turned me on to The Velvet Und...

I was never much bothered either way until I saw them in Hyde Park about three years ago and I have to say I was blown away by them and again at Wembley arena a year later.
