The Music Thread Strikes Back

The Smiths are one of my favourite bands but Morrisseys rantings have almost ruined their music for me.
Saw him live at the NEC soon after he went solo and he was excellent.
 
I saw him at The Roundhouse in Camden in 2008, before he went totally off the reservation. Glad I did as I wouldn't buy a ticket to watch him now.
 
He played here last year and I really wanted to go but in the end couldn't justify it as there was a high chance:
  1. He would cancel
  2. He would go off on one about something and be a total cringe
Johnny Marr is playing 3 Irish gigs here this year and not a single one is in Dublin! I'm raging. Not often that happens.
I saw him at a festival 10yrs ago and he was the absolute highlight.
 
There's a track on the new Elbow album Audio Vertigo called From the River, which is fucking brilliant.
 
Just listened to UB40/Signing Off for the first time in 30 odd years.
It is just excellent.
Not sure I liked them very much after this, but it is a fantastic debut album.
 
New Charli XCX album June 7th! I'm hyped, pre-release tracks sound more hyperpop than her last record turned out to be.
 
Birthday gifts yesterday from Mrs DW, tickets for Weller (not seen him since around 2005 in Telford) and The Lightning Seeds (not seen them since December 1996, same day we beat City 3-0 at home and Dennison scored a beaut)

Fantastic line-up. Saw PW in Dublin year before last (I think - dont think it was last year 🤔). Great weather, great crowd, great night.
Can't get tickets this year anyway 🙁
 
Oh, these are separate gigs! One in October and one in December.

She's also mooting the idea of seeing Ride who I can take or leave (and take great pride in calling Andy Bell "Andy Bell out of Oasis" because I know it annoys her) but I'm happy enough to go if she wants to.

Be interested to hear what you think of PW after the gig. I've been listening to the Dan Jennings 'Desperately Seeking Paul' podcasts on you tube the last few months. Some interesting guests on there. Particularly if you've followed his career from early on.
 
Waiting for underworld to come on stage in Manchester. Loving their playlist & the venue is really good.
 
happy birthday Kim Gordon, the coolest of the cool

Completely pointless nostalgia.

I don't really want to remember paying ridiculous money for CDs because they and HMV were the only show in town and that was the only way to listen to music. I refuse to believe that anyone "loved Our Price", it's like a parody of a Peter Kay routine.

I went in there out of necessity for the reasons you mention. Was the only music shop in town.

I have far fonder memories of Virgin Megastore (had one in Walsall where I went to school and then a massive one when I moved to Manchester) and I don't particularly mourn that either.

There was nothing unique or special about Our Price, it just sold expensive shit that I couldn't really afford but wanted anyway.
 
I used to look forward to going to Derby or Birmingham with my mates for the independent record stores where they sold t-shirts and posters.
