Had this for a while (massive 2000ad fan) and I love it. Touch of the Pertubator which is always a good thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrisey fans should stop listening to the right wing twunt and listen to this instead. It's in similar territory but far superior (far less bombastic) and Hawley can actually sing. Definitely going into the pile for the end of year round up 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely going into the pile for the end of year round up Yes, I'm quite impressed with this one, too. Opening couple of tracks, I wouldn't have guessed it was him - much rockier than usual, although it soon settles down into more familiar Hawley crooning. A few weak tracks, but an overall solid 7/10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I thought the first single (off my mind?) from the latest Hawley album sounded remarkably like Mark Lanegan. Really good track - must check out the rest of the album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Bad news Quote Eleven years ago this month, a fire ripped through a part of Universal Studios Hollywood. At the time, the company said that the blaze had destroyed the theme park’s “King Kong” attraction and a video vault that contained only copies of old works. But, according to an article published on Tuesday by The New York Times Magazine, the fire also tore through an archive housing treasured audio recordings, amounting to what the piece described as “the biggest disaster in the history of the music business.” What happened? The fire started in the early hours of June 1, 2008. Overnight, maintenance workers had used blowtorches to repair the roof of a building on the set of New England Street, a group of colonial-style buildings used in scenes for movies and television shows. The workers followed protocol and waited for the shingles they worked on to cool, but the fire broke out soon after they left, just before 5 a.m... ... What was lost? Almost all of the master recordings stored in the vault were destroyed in the fire, including those produced by some of the most famous musicians since the 1940s. In a confidential report in 2009, Universal Music Group estimated the loss at about 500,000 song titles. The lost works most likely included masters in the Decca Records collection by Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Al Jolson, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald and Judy Garland. The fire probably also claimed some of Chuck Berry’s greatest recordings, produced for Chess Records, as well as the masters of some of Aretha Franklin’s first appearances on record. Almost of all of Buddy Holly’s masters were lost, as were most of John Coltrane’s masters in the Impulse Records collection. The fire also claimed numerous hit singles, likely including Bill Haley and His Comets’ “Rock Around the Clock,” Etta James’s “At Last” and the Kingsmen’s “Louie Louie.” The list of artists affected spans decades of popular music. It includes recordings by Ray Charles, B.B. King, the Four Tops, Joan Baez, Neil Diamond, Sonny and Cher, Joni Mitchell, Cat Stevens, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Al Green, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Buffett, the Eagles, Aerosmith, Rufus and Chaka Khan, Barry White, Patti LaBelle, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the Police, Sting, Steve Earle, R.E.M., Janet Jackson, Guns N’ Roses, Mary J. Blige, No Doubt, Nine Inch Nails, Snoop Dogg, Nirvana, Beck, Sheryl Crow, Tupac Shakur, Eminem, 50 Cent and the Roots. NY Times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted June 12, 2019 Moderator Share Posted June 12, 2019 I've had a break from the record cleaning for a few weeks due to excessive laziness. Decided to get back on it tonight, so first up... The Room's debut Album - Indoor Fireworks. The first lineup of the band which wasn't as good as the second incarnation imo but this album still points the way to their final and finest album. Standout Track... Things Have Learned to Walk that Ought to Crawl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
