Spiritualized

I've always loved that sleeve. We have Recurring artwork on the wall here, from a framed Natty print to promo posters, and even a Recurring cushion and clock! (alcohol and Redbubble are a risky mixture...)

New Rose City band album due in May. can't wait!

I lost a chunk of yesterday to that list! Great stuff Ian!

An excellent thread idea James... My tastes have mellowed quite a bit in the last decade. I'm more drawn to sounds like these links James has posted these days - these are both unfamiliar to me and sound nice. Sunny American music, particularly a lot of hippyish southern sounds, tends to be the soun...

Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque Still love this after all these years even though its not my fav TFC LP. :D I hadn't played it for a few years but the moment 'I Don't Know' came in my nostalgia box was well and truly ticked. That album is worth it for that tune alone! I actually prefer the debut a...

Happy New Year everyone! I can only echo what others have said - apart from you spacemanrich as Brexit is a very depressing start to the year so thanks for that!

Hoping for live music, eating out and some sort of proper social contact with friends and family this year...

Merry Crimbo to everyone... It's a strange one for sure but I hope everyone manages to grab some sort of festive feel and celebration in whatever limited way is available. We're Tier 3 in West Yorkshire (for now anyway!) so a tiny get together with one family is on the cards for us. And all the best...

Hello... Sorry for a slow response. This board was moved a while ago when we had issues with hackers (my God that was a nightmare!) and the whole thing was shifted onto a new server with a new URL.

GospelbeacH - Let It Burn. Ticks my country rock sweet spot. I LOVE GospelbeacH... fabulous songwriting and amazing musicianship all round. Brent is such a lovely guy too.

I think the majority of the UK is mightily relieved too. I know I am. The idea of 4 more years of that tyrant was horrific. This is one of the very few positives of 2020...

I rather enjoyed how the BBC captured the mood by including this somewhat direct placard in their coverage yesterday.

The Cadillac Three - Tabasco & Sweet Tea. Incredibly this is the second album these Nashville country fuzz boys have released in 2020! And they've made what is essentially a full blown funk album. Sounds fantastic. GospelbeacH - Let It Burn. Ticks my country rock sweet spot. Echo & The Bunny...

Sorry to hear this news Joyce. Sadly this year is one for losing loved ones, and not just pandemic-related. My best to you and yours...

Got me all excited til I saw tickets are £75 each. Last time I saw The Damned, in 2018 - admittedly without Rat - it was £26. Also Manchester is the closest which always makes me hesitate as I'm not keen on any venues there. Sadly I'm passing on this one.

I was never much of a metal fan but when I was 15/16 that first Van Halen album had a massive impact on me & curiously I still play it every now and then, just as I am this morning. I'd never heard guitar being played like that before. But then no one had. So I was pretty depressed to hear the n...

'Samalas' by Mote. Fantastic guitar psych from Melbourne. Recommended by the good folks from the Psych Lovers group on Facebook. It's as good as everyone said. I've had it on rotation for a few days now.

Bizarrely my one came from Amazon Japan less than 48 hours after I ordered it and without any customs charges. Took me by surprise. Not often that happens... :D Does one have to set up a new Amazon Japan account or is it possible to order from an existing UK one? Cheers. You have to register on the...

Lots of Darkside fans on here. That guy Blood Meridian has assembled a very enjoyable mix of Darkside tunes. Blood's relentless schedule of mixing music isn't slowing down. His YouTube and SoundCloud channels are worth a regular visit. I've discovered loads of great music through him... Anyway, delv...

I read about this just now. So sad. The man was a pivotal figure in music history. Got his tunes playing this afternoon to remember him by. RIP...

Worth noting that this excellent comp features our own Muscles, who died in tragic circumstances in 2017, on Majesty Crush's 'No 1 Fan'. I'm sure plenty remember Muscles' often wacky posts here but the truth is he was a highly underrated vocalist, and Majesty Crush were a highly underrated band. Als...

Any point you were trying to make was destroyed by this idiotic throwaway comment.

It was a poor move and one which confused a lot of people with the contrasting statements. Wish they hadn't done that after such an amazing season.

But cancelling promotion?!

Me too! The expanded edition is well worthwhile!

It's been pretty stressful since the season started again. Brentford looked unstoppable until yesterday. If we had someone who knew how to get the damn thing in the net we'd have been at least 10 points clear by now! But... A triumph and a relief. The weekend started spectacularly so yesterday after...

This has become a very interesting thread and people are adding things I didn't expect at first which is really fascinating to read! I like the idea of seeing which of your favourite albums came out when. That'll take a little research but I'm curious about my own tastes on that front. I also like O...

I certainly used to think that. A lot of music I love was discovered at a younger age. Well - 1979 for example, when I was 14. A key era was the late 80s when I was around 23, 24. Spacemen 3 hit me then. But I was 43 when I got I to the Grateful Dead and I've been obsessed with a lot of their music ...

Punk changed everything for me. Seeing the Pistols play Pretty Vacant on Top of the Pops when I was 13 remains the most important musical moment of my life. My 'before and after' moment. I'd heard about punk but never heard actually heard any of the music. I sat there, jaw agape, at the incredible s...

The one thing I wouldn’t agree with Runcible on is The Damned LP. I would put Unknown Pleasures and Metal Box in joint first place. Fair enough but that Damned album is a totally subjective choice. The impact it had on me is hard to measure. I still play it all the time and love it as much as I did...

the Glasto 93 version of Gravity Grave (the one on the No Come Down album) is one of the best live songs i've ever heard. That roar of the last few minutes, as they go all out STILL gives me goosebumps when i hear it. Magical moment. Was that the 'we can go one more more time...' and then they laun...

I thought 1997 might come up! Definitely a crucial year than one!

Here's a new game. I've often thought about significant years for music, but then I thought about albums that came out in certain years and how important that year then became in music history. So... The idea is to select a year that has been a particular highlight. It'd be easy to go for something ...

I'm very much not an expert on Russian psychedelic music but Sula Bassana, who has many fans on this forum, certainly is. He added a link to the 'Psych Fans' Facebook group yesterday. Turns out this whole EP is just $1 to download which is one of the best value transactions I've ever done! This is q...

Pete was on Reddit answering questions yesterday. Anyone chime in? It was here:

Some interesting questions. A few silly ones inevitably.

I do remember several members of the board having a discussion about the Dead and I delved into a couple of albums and it just didn't resonate, amazing what time can do for ones tastes There aren't that many studio albums that really capture the Dead. I really only play American Beauty, Workingman'...

Norman Records are saying they are sending their copies out today I saw, so it's being distributed all over the UK.

The chap who did this - Alan Outram, brother of one time Perfect Disaster drummer Phil Outram - put it together with Dom's guidance using Sonic's selection. Dom is very much a vinyl guy and had no electronic copies accessible. So I helped with that. No biggie and great to be involved.

I'm all over the place with my work soundtrack... I'm able to play music at really high volume which is great but my direction is fairly random. 2 days ago I was on the Flying Burrito Brothers. Then All Things Being Equal by Sonic Boom, which led to... Sound of Confusion, which I played for the firs...

Has anyone received a black vinyl LP or CD yet or is it just the 'glow-in-the-dark-red' LPs that have been distributed? I got both black and luminous at the same time in the same mailer! Only played it once and I was distracted but it sounded pretty good. Loved the track with Panda Bear particularl...

As I'm working from home I'm playing music that's loose and I can get lost in as background rather than listen to closely. To my surprise I've really got into Phish . I can almost hear people's eyeballs rolling in horror. Well, as a Deadhead I can relate to a lot of the noodly stuff they play. So I ...

Having read of the sad death of John Prine I've been immersed in his music for the last day or so. His name was familiar before but - to my shame - I'd never listened to his stuff previously. I feel idiotic - this is prime country blues and bluegrass and it has real depth and emotion. I've been play...

The Rose City Band album is there to stream in full and those of us who bought it were sent downloads too. It's absolutely beautiful - some of Ripley's finest music to date and one where he is obviously very happy to show the influences he's brought in here. His guitar is unmistakable but the Gratef...

Nice to know manners are still intact in lockdown. The twat is you. What's more a rude one who can't spell.

New Rose City Band tunes are sounding great. A neat country rock angle is noticeable here, with the 2nd tune tipping a hat to the Grateful Dead's classic 'Cumberland Blues'. But Ripley is something of a Deadhead so perhaps not too surprising.

I've gone back decades to stuff I played when I was a teen at school. So yesterday and today has had a lot of Steve Hillage featured and I was surprised at how good it was. He is an amazing guitarist and the music - although totally hippified - sounds pretty fresh. And enjoyable. The Green album is ...

Sadly as this horrorshow goes on we're all going to know people who've not only had it but others who didn't survive. I'm sort of torn between wanting to know what's happening out there and resisting the news which is either depressing (general state of play) or worryingly farcical (Trump's idiotic ...

I played a load of Shjips stuff last night and felt surprised at just how loads of it was. I'd forgotten! I've got more into the Moon Duo and Rose City vibe but the Shjips have so many great tunes across every album they released.

That said I am really excited about this new RCB album!

I've been working from home for over a month now. I quite like it but we're so busy the main difference I notice is the fact I'm playing music all the time. I guess I'm lucky that my job - wine industry mail order - is going nuts when so many have no job at all. The one great thing which took place ...

Good luck to you and your missus James. I hope it's not a bad case - maybe even just something else with any luck. I have nothing but glowing admiration for anyone in the NHS at any level, but particularly front line. I know there are a few on this board involved. Hats off to them all.

I'm working from home so I can play music which is cool. I've shifted on from my Grateful Dead '71 fixation by way of Good Dope/Good Fun's excellent Felt show recommendation to more southern hippy sounds today. Little Feat and Lynyrd Skynyrd dominated wall to wall all day. I can feel an Allman Broth...

Grateful Dead - June 1976 Boxset Is that the new monstrous CD release with masses of shows? Looked fantastic. I subscribe to the 'Dave's Picks' series which is very rewarding.

Runcible, BzaInSpace, BVCP206 and I had a Recurring morning while communicating on WhatsApp. It was amazing. Leeds, Scotland, Detroit. I have to say that really lifted my spirits yesterday.
