New - The things that really annoy you

[Kenny]

Then yep....very odd and a teeny bit creepy

 

[Dire Wolf]

Is this in relation to post made a few days back regarding a couple enjoying an afternoon pub trip?

You missed the 's' off, his name's Trips...

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Discover Weekly has gone doolally on Spotify again.

Wishbone Ash and Hawkwind FFS. Do I look like a member of CAMRA?

(Don't answer that)

 

[Langers]

I'd be delighted with Wishbone Ash or Hawkwind. And before you start, I've not been a CAMRA member for at least 5 years.

A fortnight ago, Let Loose appeared on my Discover Weekly, so think yourself lucky.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I'll happily swap you.

I've seen Let Loose live...

 

[Langers]

Deal.

I've seen Hawkwind live.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's now thrown up Hot Chip who I think we can agree are the musical equivalent of Gonçalo Guedes.

 

[Langers]

Yeah you can keep them. Although I think I can trump that - we've got a family Spotify 'blend' which keeps throwing up songs from Sister Act: The Musical.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

All these new fangled bands man. Pfttt

 

[sycophantia]

Wishbone Ash are quality, Hawkwind however are and always will be cack.

 

[Kenny]

Wishbone Ash are quality, Hawkwind however are and always will be cack.

Thoughts on Let Loose?

 

[sycophantia]

Thoughts on Let Loose?

I'll check them out and let you know

 

[Paul]

Hawkwind however are and always will be cack.

Not a massive fan but Silver machine, Motorway City and Quark, Strangeness and Charm all got stuck in my head once heard

 

[Tony Towner]

Thoughts on Let Loose?

He's crazy for them

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I gave them both a chance when they popped up. Utter, utter, utter fucking shit. (Blowin' Free and Silver Machine respectively if that makes any difference).

But everyone has their own taste, that's fine. It annoys me that Spotify do this sometimes, push stuff your way that has no resemblance whatsoever to what you listen to. Prog rock FFS, you couldn't get further away with me.

The nadir being this week's final track by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. If anyone ever says they like them then I know I can never trust their musical opinion properly. One of the world's most abysmal bands. What makes them think I'd like them?! I've had an account since about 2007 and any of their tracks that have popped up have been skipped inside seconds, as they are wank.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hawkwind are sort of okay. The chilis I genuinely cannot stand

 

[Boozad]

Needlegun was the only good Hawkwind song. I do like that one.

RHCP? Meh. Never liked them.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Motörhead was originally a Hawkwind track that Lemmy took with him when they fired him. It was quite a bit different then!

 

[Hereford Wolf]

When I was a teenager, Hawkwind used to play the Civic Hall nearly every 3 months.
We went to every gig.
What was the name of the young lady who used to play with them…?
