It's alright, but it's a scene that's already been reprised and it's sort of a wallpapery scene anyway Edited May 5, 2020 by Xann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Support band on the last Space Lady UK tour. 3/10 I don’t have that but I would be fairly confident give me an hour I would have a single with Jez Butler on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have Mercy Seat, the best version of Mercy Seat, Red Right Hand is as they say epic. Love Letter would have this man weeping if I wasnt due on a call at 3. Yeah. Thats a pretty **** solid side. I looked at the comments on Youtube for Love Letter and one fell said something along the lines of I wish I had more friends the liked this song. I agree. I don’t know anyone that knows it, let alone likes it. My wife would call it a Pete song and would hate it. It is perfection but bettered by Into My Arms.

chrisp65 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 From the same album, I played the rest of the gang here ‘Where The Wild Roses Grow’ with a prize of a coffee for anyone naming the female vocalist. Nobody got it, but I had one suggestion of Cerys Matthews, which as odd as that sounds, I could hear that as well. Anyway, enough of the gateway vinyl, I’ve gone hardcore now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you draw that, or is it a different version of the album cover for Grinderman 2, or a remix or something? You should try them on the PJ Harvey ones. Or that Scorpions bloke.

I don’t think it was any sort of special edition... Just checked the sticker on the cover and it also had a CD in there. For scale, that’s my full 12 inches bottom right corner.

Granted, you'll have a reasonable likelihood of success, statistically, if you just choose bickster, ChrisP or useless, but it's fun nevertheless. Pro tips: If the band and album names sound like they're made up: bickster If it looks like it comes from the Caribbean: ChrisP If it looks like it came from a dusty bin in the basement of the Library of Congress and no one has ever actually bought a copy: useless If it looks like it would be playing in the background at a bar while someone is riding a mechanical bull: Seat68 If it's folk/folk rock and the artist is over 40 years old: Mooney Trombones: The Authority Beatles: Anyone but bickster 1 hour ago, useless said: A shame this was only ever release on tape...

useless Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I posted a few albums from Smithsonian Folkways recently, I think they might be connected to the library of congress in some way. Funnily enough I think Bee Mask was going for a sound that might have been produced at some studio at a university in the sixties or something, so would probably take it as a compliment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted May 7, 2020 Moderator Share Posted May 7, 2020 This has been on repeat for the last couple of hours. I posted it on Facebook along with the following: Quote I've only posted one On-U Sound album so far... time to change that. Tackhead Sound System - Tackhead Tape Time Way back in those student days, we put on Gary Clail's On-U Sound / Tackhead Sound System on twice at the Uni, as I recall neither of those gigs were particularly succesful punters wise. It didn't matter, it wasn't our money and the nights were great So Michael and I decide to put a third gig on but this time in The Mardi with all profits to Amnesty International. We did some great posters based on Gary Clails bandaged Head from the cover of the Hard Left single. They went up everywhere. The poster was simple, just balck and white but it was a great image that stood out. (I really wish I still had one) It wasn't just Gary Clail this time, Mark Steward was also making an appearance. Mike took them to the pub for some food whilst I got the club ready. I Djed downstairs from the opening playing Dub and Industrial as people drifted in Anyway, I wouldn't care to say how many people were in the Mardi to prevent incrimination but when the soundsystem started EVERYBODY was upstairs. It was a mental mental night. Clail and Stewart just ignored the limiters on the PA and just let it rip and rip it did, ripped the speakers to pieces by the end of the night. We had to pay to have the entire rig re-coned the next day. In the end even after those unexpected expenses we still made a small amount from Amnesty International Anyway, this album isn't a perfect facsimilie of those Sound System gigs but it is the closest artifact that exists and it will never fail to remind me of that fantastic night! F***ing Mental is the only way to describe it It has now prompted a conversation that involves drunken escapades with Mark Stewart and The Men They Couldn't Hang in a pub in Liverpool we used to get a lock in at (which I'd completely forgotten about until tonight) including Paul Simmonds of TMTCH being found the next morning asleep in a hedge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
