I didn’t realise it was Loughborough (assumed it was Nottingham where Al is from). He’d have likely been kicking about the place when I was at uni there. I’ll probably watch it properly tonight. Incidentally the early 70s doc they mention on an episode of Chart Music (All Dressed Up And Going Nowhere) is available on YouTube. That’s the one about youth culture in Newcastle and Skins v Rockers violence (featuring the Scotswood Aggro Boys, some narration from a young Mike Neville and a cameo from Frankie Vaughan - rhyming slang for ‘porn’ when I was younger ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what I was thinking trying to project a veneer of mature adulthood (least of all here) Although I don’t think it’s a reference many young uns would get Edited September 4 by Alex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35083 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I did myself a Lover’s Rock playlist on Amazon and had it on this morning when the twins were eating their breakfast. They asked what it was. When I told them / explained about it they reckoned they didn’t like it and that you shouldn’t listen to music before you’re born. But I knew they actually liked it because they swaying and tapping away within a couple of minutes. And, more tellingly, had shut the fuck up 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 disappointed for nia archives. she's a young, working class black woman making a genre of music that hasn't been awarded by mercury since the 90s - i thought she deserved it - but they gave it to an indie band instead. it has inspired me to check out their music however, which is what this award is about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35083 Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 (edited) There’s loads of them Trojan comps, but out of the original series which were released in the late 90s iirc, the Lover’s Rock, Dub (vols 1&2), Ska and Rocksteady ones are top notch Edited September 7 by Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry KD but he wasn't even the best drummer in Nirvana. It's amazing this doesn't happen more often with musos - oh but it does, they just aren't all as rich as fuck so no one cares. Opposed to good "guy" Dave, who has dined out on his image, which is now of a man who fucks around on his wife because he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
