The Affectionate Punch was a great album, but it was that string of singles they released afterwards (mostly in 1981 I believe, and later collected together on Fourth Drawer Down), before they went commercial with Sulk, that really stood out for me. Loved Q Quarters & White Car in Germany, but...

Special Tory Government version to allow for U-turns?

I also played it during a brief period spent at Primary School in Kent, early 1970s. Although to keep (sort of) the local aspect, the school was (still is) called Sussex Road Primary

You're going to get battered for this joke

Yet another good tune.

Very much this.

It's not just in Greece. It's a global problem. All the rental companies sold off their fleets to stay afloat during the early COVID days when worldwide travel stopped. Now they need to replace them, but they can't due to the global chip shortage that's crippled the car industry. Result, not...

Saw Mavis Staples at a music festival just last week. She's still got it, even at 82...

First "musical act" was Patrick Moore playing the xylophone, supporting Morecambe and Wise at the Chichester Festival Theatre in 1974. He was followed by Mrs Mills on piano. First "proper" band was Procol Harum in Tunbridge Wells, April 1977 (or to be more technically correct, whoever the hell...

Too much safe 4/4-time plodding for me. Tramhaus are way better

Saw them in Utrecht on the Monday night. Impressed how Brett Anderson still has the energy to keep doing that night after night. And they played The 2 of Us for - I think (because Brett said it was) - the first time in a few years. Which nice, as it's my favourite Suede song. Mogwai next up...

Was also my first thought on reading the thread title...

And another great voice gone. RIP. Younger than me too :eek: Saw him live a few times in several different guises, but I particularly liked his work with Greg Dulli as The Gutter Twins CjR_HNjNT3Q

RIP Procol Harum was my first ever proper gig. Tunbridge Wells Assembly Hall, 1977.
