The Music Thread Strikes Back

I thought of this discussion when I read this article:
https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2019/dec/28/overload-ambush-and-isolation-the-decade-that-warped-popular-culture-simon-reynolds

yep, good article.
mainstream has always been generally shit anyway.

Just picked up the latest Judas Priest - Firepower.

Oh my God. It absolutely kills. Completely fucking brilliant.

Have to give that a listen

You really do. Weird to have no KK there, and obvs Glenn is sick and struggling to play, but holy shit. THE RIFFS, THE SOLOS, THE PRODUCTION, THE SOUND OF HALFORD.

It's their best since Painkiller, maybe even since Defenders of the Faith.

I am basking in the glow of Lost Souls by Doves this evening and for the drive to work tomorrow The Seldom Seen Kid by Elbow. Bring on the weekend!

Saw Doves in Birmingham (Perry Park) last summer, good to have them back on the live circuit. Great live band.

I remember getting into Queenadreena a bit in the early 2000's but I'm back listening to them again and managed to pick up all there stuff that has been made unobtainable (even on Spotify) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82P40PnMNmQ

Watched Bombay Bicycle Club in Oxford last night.

Good gig. Pleased to see them back and back on form. The new album has a proper old school BBC vibe to it.

I saw them in Nottingham in November and they played through the whole of their debut album and a few of the newer ones to finish.

Was never their biggest fan but they're a good live band.

Ozzy has been diagnosed with parkinsons it seems.

Caught them on R6 the other evening on Marc Riley, they're pretty good, although I did start obsessing over remembering how many Pigs were in their name, 7, as I've now committed to memory.

in the early 2000s the great eastern was my sunday morning bad hangover choice of music.
after a while i couldn't listen to it at any time without feeling ill and so stopped completely.
think i'd be ok with it now.
