I'm very much like this, but I also fear to miss out on some good stuff. Yherefor I'm trying to listen to new music. But mostly I listen to the same old music.

Some of it remains familiar, some of it is like buying a new album all over again. I've just finished listening to... Eligible Bachelors by the Monochrome Set which is a current earworm of mine from 1982 but now I've moved on to From Across the Kitchen Table by The Pale Fountains which I'm definitely rediscovering all over again from 1985 (who said the 80's were crap?)

No, I think that's the eponymous second single, which was also on the second album (the one before this one) "Strange Boutique" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not keen on jazz guitar, either. There are occasional exceptions, but my general rule of thumb is that rock (in its widest sense) bands MUST feature guitars and vocals, but jazz bands should have neither. Drums, bass, piano, sax and trumpet, instrumentals only, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Was listening to this last night on YouTube, and thought of you @chrisp65. I'd wager that you own it, or atleast like it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 D'you know what, I don't have it, but you might be a bit psychic 'cos I actually had it in my hand a couple of weeks ago but then bought something else. So it's probably the next thing I buy next time I'm up that London. I know exactly where it is in the rack!

bickster Posted August 27, 2018 Moderator Share Posted August 27, 2018 Here's one I have no idea about. I have no idea why I have it. I remember nothing about it at all. Complete mystery, normally this kind of thing is a freebie I got sent but this one even has a price tag on it! I only vaguely even remember the name of the band Spirea X - Fireblade Skies First impressions are that I must have been very flush and probably very chemically enhanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
