The Music Thread Strikes Back

[Johnny75]

Morrissey appears to be going down the "they were asking for it" route vis weinstein et al.
Incredibly crass.

No way, Morrisey in being a total bellend shock.

I know! My jaw is still on the floor...

He's a fucking prick.

This made me chuckle though. http://newsthump.com/2017/11/20/charles-manson-was-actually-a-pretty-nice-guy-insists-morrissey/

In other exciting grand piano related news, I bought a MIDI keyboard in the Black Friday sales that comes with software that replicates a Steinway 88 key grand piano!
Try to control yourselves.....

Secondary ticket issues rumble on. Hopefully something comes out of this long review:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-42152842

After a year-long investigation, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) found widespread concerns about such websites.
It said some of them had taken action to improve, but others had not.
The CMA has not named the websites involved, but it is threatening to do so if they don't comply.
It may also take action in the courts.

just finished meal at a hotel restaurant in Italy. not cheap, 20-30 euros per course. what music do you think they’d play in the background? Something classical perhaps, or at least classy? nope, spice girls, something from frozen (apparently), the flinstones!! and good old phil collins. at least the food was nice.

ye cd list next week hopefully. maybe get it on Spotify too.

Can't find it on You Tube to put up here, but Des Demonas' The South Will Never Rise Again is an awesome track. Think you can hear a bit of it here - https://www.juno.co.uk/products/des-demonas/670055-01/

New Graham Coxon song, really lovely, but very sad listening to him talk about it on 6music yesterday

 

[The Bear]

I like his stuff, particularly the Love Travels at Illegal Speeds album, but that new song isn't really my cup of tea.

Just heard Steve Lamacq play a track by Chris Wallbank and The Cowards, a Wolverhampton band who I have to admit I'd never heard of.

I don't really watch TV though, and I'm at home all day most of the time. It's on when I'm working, it's on when I'm reading, it's on when I'm playing some games.

Sub in all the hours you spend watching various TV series over a year - well I have 0 in that box, it has to be filled somehow. I don't sit here in silence :icon_lol:

 

[Langers]

Fair point! Bargainous service though if you use it as often as we do. I couldn't live without it.

 

[Jinky]

How/where do you check your stats?

I went to see Marilyn Manson at the Civic last night. It was pretty good considering he spends the show in a wheelchair/on a crutch.

The highlight of my night though was walking past Miles Hunt as soon as we walked through the doors to the Civic. He may be old and not particularly famous but I still got starstruck :icon_lol:
