So what are you listening to at the moment?

Just listened to a side of Closer by Joy Division (it's great but oh boy...) and noticed on the label 9/5/80. A bit of research and yes - it's the date the album was to have been release (in the end it was released in July of 1980).

But such as this never fails to make me pause as I realise that 9/5/80 is 45yrs ago on Friday. 45yrs...seems - not quite yesterday - but not pre-history. Blimey...where did all the time go?

Currently listening to Disorder after reading this.
Definitely in my top 10

I've got Unknown Pleasures on vinyl and, in return, your post prompts me to go stick it on later.

I've had Bowies Heroes on the turntable for a while now. I'd never before listened to the album - though obviously knew the title track. But discovering this stuff for the first time...brilliant. Can't imagine what it would have been like to hear the track Heroes for the very first time - with Robert Fripp's guitar lead wailing away all the way through...fabulous and joyous tinglesome.

Did a cover of Heroes with my band many years ago. One thing I never realised until we were learning it was how cool the bassline is. Most people just focus on that high, droning guitar line, but the bassline is really funky.

New Pulp album, their first for 24 years. It’s great, much better than I expected!

Loving a bit of Hard-Fi, hard to believe it's 20 years since Stars of CCTV was released!

Was supposed to be in Glasgow tonight to see Pulp with wife and granddaughter but caught covid on holiday

The largely overlooked and now forgotten Stackridge…on OGWT 1975. So good - so chilled. One for prog and bluesy folks.

That's a bummer. A few folk on my football forum were there last night and said it was great. They played 2 sets with an interval.

My daughter went in my place 3 generations and they also thought it was a great night.

PiL… Happy?

More adventures in sound not previously experienced by me. My view of Post-punk…into earlier New Wave, is changing and becoming a lot more appreciative.

Seahorses-Do it yourself.
Such a good album.

Funeral for a Friend - Memory and Humanity

Excellent!

Just a little something for a warm and sunny summer's day...and of course we all recognise the sultry and smoky voice doing the intro...well some of us do.
