It's not exactly what I'm listening to now but how the f#%% does Jilted John get away in this day and age calling Gordon the moron a puff. 😁

I understand that music taste's change for many people when growing up but as a teenage 'new wave/punk' fan there was no way I ever thought that my parents choice of listening would ever interest me. How wrong was I? Love these tunes. Cheers Mum and Dad. Karen Carpenter, the voice of an angel

So as it was supposed to be the Saturday night at the 50th Glastonbury celebrations this evening, I was wondering, if the Oatcake What Are You Listening To Now crowd had a chance to curate their own stage at the festival, what the Saturday line up might end up looking like? Maybe a little pretentious I don't know but having had a little look back through the thread at those artists who seem to make regular appearances on here, I thought it might end up looking a bit like this, we'd obviously have to find a damn fine Elvis tribute act from somewhere and assuming that the rest are all actually still alive ... First on: I thought I'd contribute to your Glastonbury post, Paul. I don't like tribute acts and have only seen one, based on his reputation, Gordon Hendricks ....and many say he is the best......he's from Kidsgrove ( He won the "World's best tribute act" at Graceland in 2017) ( as an aside I did see Nigel Stonier in Chester once....doing ( his words, when he introduced himself)..."a tribute to Nigel Stonier" I can't find anything on YouTube that does him justice

Picked up the "The Cranberries - Dreams: The Collection" from Amazon last week.
Can't believe I slept on this group throughout the 90's. Some really good songs.

Dolores O’Riordan had a unique voice - It will never be duplicated! When your accent is so thick you can pull off rhyming “bombs” with “guns” 😊 Crazy to think this ‘masterpiece’ came out 26 years ago...

And that's a much better suggestion than mine, a series of covers from artists rather than a tribute act. The 16 year old young man is incredible enough as it is but then you get to the end and realise that English isn't even his first language - incredible! As for Ella Mae ... love her perfect timing in the breakdown at the end and her sheer joy, in knowing that it's coming!

This is called airing the whole town's dirty laundry! Big hair, mini-skirts and gogo boots :-)

McCulloch is one of the few songwriters who can rival the spaceman for his use of strings in a composition.

Sort of Townes van Zandt-ish....

Exit Planet Dust quarter of a century... I sold absolutely bucket loads of this from the boot of my car at the time, from 3-Beat to Eastern Bloc to Global Grooves to Jumbo across the North. Great stuff.. spreading the goodness, hobby or rep? Global Groove, Pete Bromley etc, nice bloke, he's a local mate. He was instrumental in getting loads of my mates into dance, he used to do tapes out of Freetown for the holiday returnees... All that piano stuff etc.... I lived in Bournemouth when the two Junior Boys 12" were released. I saw them djing in a pub basement in the Smoke, the Green Dragon or somesuch... An eclectic time for new musical discoveries, the south coast was a fertile ground for crate digging.. There was the Bournemouth Hospital radio charity shop which was stuffed with promos, stuff out of their library, I picked up early Clear Records/Herbert/Wishmountain promos in there, and all the early Cypress Hill cds...{too much swearing for Hosp Radio play perhaps...} There was a small dance shop that stocked the early Mo' Wax 12"s etc..at a time when the Can catalogue was re issued made accessible,they opened that rabbit hole... a great shop... The Dust Brothers' ouvre stand as a beacon/benchmark...Trip Hop becoming Big Beat. Quality, still solid.. I feel a tinge of guilt that I took my youngest brother to Sheff in about 96, his first gig, Chemical Brothers.. he's never been quite the same since...

First on: Nice, perhaps kick off with a warm up Khruangbin... I reckon the claustrophobia would strike and after B&S I'd nip off to the World Stage for Tinariwen then Lee Scrath Perry.....

I carried all the early Mo' Wax stuff too, right from when they first started. I used to promote a club night in Warrington and I had the Chem's on at the opening night, along with Carl Cox, Derick Carter and Ashley Beedle, you'd need an arena to stage that line up nowadays! I've been friends with Pete Bromley for over 30 years, the Freetown nights were, cough ... legendary!
