    British people skateboarding should never be encouraged.

    To paraphrase the R.E.M. quote, I hope next week she's number zero.

    There's just no reason for Cher, Aerosmith or Kiss to exist. Thanks, stupid American record buyers.

    Didn’t know Dave Fanning was a member of Darts.

    Did Gavin Friday get him the gig?

    Greatest basslines, new three part series starts on Sky Arts 9pm tonight.

    (It's 'hit me with your rhythm stick' by Norman Watt-Roy of the Blockheads if you ask me.)

    Sky Arts turns up the groove with new three-part documentary, Greatest Basslines, airing 28 November | Sky Group https://share.google/YjbpXLrwgvg4mrvRi

    The one I am particularly interested in is the episode with Peter "Hookie" Hook - tonight's one I think. Former bassist with New Order, and Joy Division previously.

    One Night In Bangkok.

    One can never tire of ‘I Feel For You’.

    One of the greatest pop records of all time.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,861 ✭✭✭Arthur Daley


    Could be released today and still be fresh



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,861 ✭✭✭Arthur Daley


    Peter Hook always gives an interesting, frank interview



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,802 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    Bjork and Jack Dee.

    Together at last!

    It wasn't until I was 10 we got a radio in the house that could reproduce anything approaching a bass frequency. Up until then all we 'ad was a MW/LW transistor with a case made out of vinyl covered cardboard.

    We 'ad it tough.

    But my grandad had one of those lovely 60s Ogle Design Bush transistors (the ones that took the massive PP9 batteries that used to be used in prison as weapons) - this pic is a modern fake, not the real thing, sorry.

    His one had three buttons - LW, MW, and Radio Luxembourg! not that he used the last one.

    I'd love to know what happened to it - I expect one of my cousins flung it into a skip.

    Posting this for two reasons -

    • I like the song, always have
    • The absolute cringe of the intro and outro with you know who.

    Now, don't keep asking me why, Reg!
