I think it's been 5 years since the last album so it's all a little overdue. No official word of new stuff but a tour begins this month so I expect it's a certainty.
They're probably my favourite 'new' band of the last...

First song in 20 years. Kind of generic back then but they had a few great songs.

Paul said in an interview that he wants to release his version of Little Kix, like a different mix or something. The album has some good songs, but it's too slow and soft for me, and too many strings. I mean Love Is and...

Having seen Blur mention the influence of Talk Talk quite often in recent times, about time the most underrated band of the 80's had their own thread, quite a story from synth pop band to...well hard to label them...

Sad day.succumbed to suicide. Saw him and the band twice back in the day. An absolute brilliant frontman. Knebworth '96 was a great memory

I'd thought I'd begin one w/the new Rivers Cuomo written track: onclick= window.open(this.href);return false;

Hello guys. First time here. I would like to introduce you to Delicious Grace. It's a musical project where they write their own songs. They are just starting out.

I know it's hard to pay attention to something you...

I'm a massive fan of the first TLS album (The Sleeper) - probably in my top 10 albums of all time list. It has at least 5 or 6 really wonderful songs, and most of the rest ain't bad. Sadly, the quality of the following...

Great news! Loved the last two albums. Hopefully some gigs in the autumn also. Brett's book is great read too. Highly recommended.

I'm an avid Pink Floyd listener since quite a time, but I never had real contact with Syd Barrett as a solo artist. I just read that he was a key influence for Blur. Did they ever mentioned any closer songs or an album?...

I've been pretty unadventurous this year when it comes to new music.
Would be v interested to hear people's top 10s which can include Graham and Damon's new stuff.
Thanks.

It's named after a Blur song but not a Blur member in sight!
I went to the London Forum show last night.
Only watched two of the bands (as I didn't much like the others) - My Life Story and Sleeper.
I've seen MLS loads...

I must begin another one here....

Please..Hugh..come back just for one gig, especially before we lose Jet Black !

After listening to Damon my whole life you're probably going to get some of those vibes. But as my work is all collab these days there is lots of different influences.

This is a song i did a video for and the whole...

Here we can discuss arguably the best band of the noughties!

Franz Ferdinand were the band that appeared when I was first getting into music. Their first album played a massive role in my growing up, I remember...

Yes, we can discuss here... Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, Starship, Hot Tuna, and/or any other project that the members have been involved in.... One of my all-time fave bands... Can go on and on! Anyone else...

I never thought I'd have the opportunity to make this thread, but the new Spiritualized album And Nothing Hurt is definitely worth talking about. The music is hauntingly beautiful in a way that Jason Pierce hasn't quite...

Cranberries singer passes aged 46.

Any fans of this fantastic band / songwriter?

Just re-discovered all their stuff on an old hard drive, so manu good songs.

There’s a CDr album in my collection that seems to be a Greg solo record pre Dawn Parade, it’s...

Always been among my faves... In fact... they were the first band I ever saw in concert and I was merely 8 at the time! This was recorded around that time and Tilbrook did an excellent job on vocals! onclick=...

Anyone ever get into him? I know most of you consider him a one-hit wonder with Your Woman , but that's not even the best track from his 1997 album, Women in Technology .... I guarantee you'd be blown away by listening...

Who else is a Gomez fan? I've loved them since I first saw the Bring It On video on MTV way back in '99 and then I discovered more of Liquid Skin and then immediately immersed myself into the Bring It On album... In Our...

From now on I'd like to make a thread for listening diaries if thats okay. Largely because my half-annual audio diaries are where I channel most of my writing energy.

I've just finished one for January-June 2018, where...

Has anyone heard her new album? I have to admit, when I saw her open up for Blur I tried to like her but I only liked a few songs. However, I heard snippets of her new album after someone who didn't like her told me it...

I've been on a New Wave kick recently and have been listening to them since yesterday for the first time in years and they're BEYOND just I Ran . What a solid band the original/classic line-up was! Paul Reynolds shined...

I thought this hugely underrated guitarist deserved his own thread. I’m extremely saddened by his passing. His life was not easy in the slightest after he left Fleetwood Mac. Homelessness, mental issues due to drug...

I didn't care for gallows one little bit, but his new band really are pretty decent. Saw them at slam dunk fest in Birmingham and they were ace.
