I love all types of music...and always looking for new stuff to listen to..currently I'm listening to the Proclaimers new album "Dentures out"
The lyrics are absolutely brilliant
We havnt had a music thread for a while and the forum has gone a bit solemn
Any new music recommendations anyone?

‘Punk for Gentlemen’

The Fallen Leaves.

Not new but remain off the mainstream radar but highly recommended if you like that intimate French Coffee Bar style gig. My old pal, mate and general top banana Buddy Ascott (The Chords) on drums.

Picked up a bunch of recommendations on a recent trip to Canada. My favourite so far though is a band called Wilderado..... their self titled album is pretty good. Very chilled - in a similar mould to Donovan Frankenreiter and Jack Jones I would say.

Not new but currently listening to a lot of “the interrupters”. Lively modern ska…

“She got arrested” particularly good.

Forgot to add the link. A great tale of a bully and a wife beater getting his come-uppance.

These have been going some time now and they put a different slant on quite a few standards.

On my quest to find new music I came across an Irish indie band called The Villagers,I'd never heard of them before,but their new album which I've played to death "Fever Dreams" is so relaxing...ain't Spotify great.

Heard a lad singing Tennasee Whisky live on Friday night, it sounded so familiar to a few other recordings that I know but can't quite place.
Going to look through Spotify later to stop the nagging in the back of my mind.

Don’t mind The Car - quite a good relaxing Sunday evening record but I don’t blame people expecting a little more. It’s a bit too ‘Muzak’ in places. Favourite record is probably Suck It and See which they appear to have all but disowned in their live performances which is a shame.

Music was my first love
And it will be my last
Music of the future 🤔
And music of the past

To live without my music
Would be impossible to do
In this world of troubles
My music pulls me through

The video for this was filmed in Clitheroe. A mate of mine runs a coffee van that does outside catering for this sort of stuff

Saw the Villagers in Hebdgen Bridge in 2014. Good night.

If you are talking new LPs
Hard to beat the Arctic Monkeys - The Car
it's opener
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY5CAz6 ... ticMonkeys

Also love the latest Spiritualised LP. - Everything Was Beautiful.
A real return to form...

Always interested in new stuff.
Spunkybackpack threads back in the day were always good.... to get suggestions (where is he? OK I hope)

Yet I'm recently revisiting a lot of my older stuff - Depeche Mode Violater - a near perfect LP and their Black Celebaratiom LP etc Construction Time Again etc
Plus also Radiohead after OK Computer which is for some reason at the moment is "connecting" with me.

Older stuff again...
Mark Hollis solo LP + Later Talk Talk / and Budd and Eno - Ambient 2 The Plateaux of Mirror always get played late.
Another you might no expect is "older" by George Michael - imho his best work.

More older stuff.
Spent a few hours with the Chameleons - Violent Femmes - Pixies - Doves - Roses etc

Yet Arctic Monkeys win it this week for me. I'm begining to think he is nearly a genius with his writing and pushing forward rather than repeaying.

The Car still feels like Tranquility Base….’s poorer cousin at the moment. It’s their first album since the debut I haven’t loved. I’m sure it will grow slightly but it’s nowhere near as good as the last one.

Try the Submarine EP and maybe Humbug. I think it’s hard to get your head around his lyrics but once you get the jist of how he uses words things tend to click.

Just listened to his interview with Zane Lowe. The lyric “Don’t get emotional” is a response to the piece of music at the beginning of “Mirrorball” which I found very funny/interesting.

The album is a grower for sure. Perfect Sense is such a beautiful song. A great closure.

It's growing on me Dyched,I agree about "Perfect Sense" though that really is a beautiful tune.
