BBC4 tonight: Quadrophenia

[Hiney]

I went back to my mother
I said "I'm crazy Ma, Help Me!"
She said "I know how it feels son
Cause it runs in the family"

 

[The Large One]

Saw the stage show in Southampton a couple of years ago - bloody brilliant.

The LP is one my most treasured possessions.

I ruddy LOVE The 'OO

That show was astounding.

hundreds of mods seem to be gathering in eastbourne today , just took me 30 mins to do 2 miles stuck behind a bevy of 28mph top speed scooters

Camber Sands this weekend...

 

[shoreham moonraker]

this will be showing at the westhill accompanied by djs from born bad

 

[The Large One]

Would this be a cheeky, though appropriate moment to shamelessly plug this resurrected evening to any ageing mods / soulists...?

 

[Beach Hut]

Good shout, the only film I have ever seen where the cinema I was watching it in was in the actual film.

 

[The Large One]

Starting now.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Shame Kermode is on it. Slightly disappointing so far to be honest, and I love The Who

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Love, Reign o'er Me - one of the finest British songs of all time

 

[Beach Hut]

And the film - Ray Winstone must have done Scum the same year

Me my brother and my mate are in this film, we where messing about on the pier dressed in our leathers, and got hired as extras . To fight on the beach and run up east street ,(about 4 times ) you need slow-mo and a good magnifying glass to see us though

[Franks Wild Years]

Brilliant album, love it, love it, love it. And I miss Brighton so f***ing much.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Missed it. Out of my brain on Guinness on the 22:15 from Brighton main to London Road. I-player it is.

 

[Ringmer Seagull]

Not going to watch the film as Ive seen it so mant times. I hadnt seen the documentary before though and it was utterly brilliant.

 

[Worthingite]

Seriously good, as a "young un", I didn't know the story behind it, only heard the music. And WHAT music it is!!!!!!!

 

[Beach Hut]

Where were the night club scenes filmed at ?

Love the scenes from Beachy Head making out it was Brighton
