ewerk 31194 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I used to really like her Breezeblock show on Radio 1 when I was a kid but can’t listen to half the shite she plays now on 6music. It’s just noise. /grumpyoldman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3507 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I quite like the Ezra Collective, so that should save a bunch of you some time. The Soundcarriers and Trees Speak both have new releases. This is an older Trees Speak as they haven't released a youtube video for the new release as yet. Crows also have a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crows were just mentioned in my house too by Mrs B. I mistakenly confused them with a similarly named Polish crust-punk band so I've retreated to the kitchen in shame to listen to Senseless Things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polish crust punk, now there's a genre we should all be listening too! @Blastronaut have you got into Snooper yet? They call it Egg punk, fuck knows why. Fun live but after 15 minutes it all sounds the same. Studio production definitely helps them. There is a Melbourne brat punk band called Ubik, cannot go wrong with a Phillip K Dick reference, who are great 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check them out though. 14 hours ago, wykikitoon said: I do like the Manics new song, similar to some of their early stuff. Decline and Fall? Aptly named.

So , listened to all four of their albums, and the verdict is in, Pop Pickers! My preference as the moment is 1,4,2,3, but that’s academic really- they’re fucking outstanding. Out of the whole 4 albums I only skipped two tracks, one with Jorja Smith singing, and the other with some chipmunk-voiced little fuck wit called Moonchild Very talented lot, the bassist and drummer being particularly good. 5/7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not available now but the track list is included in the link below. The genre is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. What was good, apart from the music, was it being obvious she had a real love for the music rather than it being some ironic kitsch piss take. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03m6xnw Also, a few of the artists on the Brainfeeder record label do stuff that channels that yacht rock vibe, with a 70s psychedelic soul feel too. There’s one particular artist I got into during covid call Thundercat. Oddly enough, before that, he had quite a long spell as the bassist in Suicidal Tendencies Edited October 3 by Alex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33819 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Been listening to this rap lately, it's about two sports fans, one a boy, one a girl who both have a rivalry going on with their favourite sports stars. Verse 1: The Australian Girl Yo, it’s me, your biggest fan, down under in the land, Allan Saint-Maximin, the best in the game, understand? You glide like a dream, every match, you reign supreme, While Wykikitoon’s sittin’ there, lost in his little scheme. I’m cheering loud, waving flags, in my green and gold, You weave through defenders, got that magic to behold. While he’s drooling over Gordon, a headless chook, no skill, I’m all about your flair, man, you give me such a thrill. Chorus: The Rivalry Allan, I’m your ride or die, while Wykikitoon just sighs, Tryna diss me, but his boy’s weak, can’t even rise. In this fan war, I’ll roar, bring the noise and the score, You’re the king of the pitch, he’s just stuck at the door. Verse 2: Wykikitoon Listen up, girl, you think you own this game, But it’s Gordon in the spotlight, and he’s bringing the flame. Allan’s flashy, but can’t finish like my lad, While you’re lost in your dreams, I’m just chillin’, not mad. You call him a chook, but you’re the one who’s fried, Obsessed with a player, it’s like you’ve lost your pride. Thin and white, but he’s got that speed, You just can’t see it, girl, you’re lost in your greed. Chorus: The Rivalry Allan, I’m your ride or die, while Wykikitoon just sighs, Tryna diss me, but his boy’s weak, can’t even rise. In this fan war, I’ll roar, bring the noise and the score, You’re the king of the pitch, he’s just stuck at the door. Bridge: The Face-off So here we are, two fans, each claiming the crown, But in the end, it’s the love for the game that keeps us around. Wykikitoon, man, let’s settle the score, Who’s the real MVP? Let the pitch speak more. Verse 3: The Showdown I’ll rep Saint-Maximin, you’ll back your thin hope, But we’re both just fans, caught in the same rope. So let’s unite for the love, while we clash for the hype, Football’s the passion, let’s keep the rivalry ripe. Outro: The Fan Love Allan, Gordon, both shining stars on the field, No matter the battle, it’s the love that we wield. From Australia to Yorkshire, the fans hold the key, In this game of life, we’re all family. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 22135 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Title: The Battle for Toontastic Setting: A virtual forum room adorned with Newcastle United memorabilia. The characters are represented by their usernames and avatars on the screen. Characters: Gemmill: A ginger-haired "accountant" from Wideopen, Tyne and Wear. Enthusiastic and prideful, but feeling threatened. Dr Gloom: A London-based e-scooter riding hipster journalist, arrogant and self-assured. Wykiktoon: A dour Yorkshireman, sarcastic with a penchant for dark humor. Christmas Tree (CT): A lovable, slightly eccentric taxi driver from Bolden, known for his culinary quirks. Renton: The forum's resident pessimist, always ready with a grumpy remark. (Scene 1: The Toontastic Forum Room) (The screen lights up, displaying the usernames of the characters. Gemmill types furiously.) Gemmill: (typing) Well, lads, I’ve put together another match-day thread! We’re going to smash those lot from the South! (A notification pings as Dr Gloom enters the chat.) Dr Gloom: (typing) Ah, Gemmill. Nice thread, but let’s face it, my last one was a masterclass. You should bow to the king. (Wykiktoon jumps in with a sarcastic remark.) Wykiktoon: (typing) King of what, exactly? Match-day threads or hipster nonsense? Dr Gloom: (typing) Hipster nonsense is all the rage, Wyk. Can’t help it if you’re stuck in the past. Gemmill: (typing) This isn’t just about threads, Gloom. It’s about respect! The Toontastic family knows I’m the main man here! (A notification from OTF, an Australian poster.) OTF: (typing) Sorry, Gemmill. I’ve got to agree with Dr Gloom. He’s the king of match-day threads now! (Gemmill’s face turns red with frustration.) Gemmill: (typing) Usurper! This is war! (Scene 2: Gemmill’s Dilemma) (Gemmill brings in CT, his culinary confidant.) Gemmill: (typing) CT, you’ve got to help me! Dr Gloom is calling himself the king now. What can I do? (CT responds with enthusiasm.) CT: (typing) Mate, you’ve got to show them who you are! How about I whip up a feast? You can do a thread on my famous duck pizza! Gemmill: (typing) That’s brilliant! But I need something more... impactful. CT: (typing) What about a cycling hobby? Get fit and show those hipsters who’s boss! (Renton chimes in, his tone grumpy.) Renton: (typing) Cycling? Please. Humanity’s future is bleak enough without you peddling around in Lycra. (Gemmill rolls his eyes at Renton’s comment.) Gemmill: (typing) Not helping, Renton! (Scene 3: The Final Showdown) (The chat is buzzing with tension as match day approaches. Gemmill prepares his comeback.) Wykiktoon: (typing) So, what’s the plan, Gemmill? Gemmill: (typing) I’m going to put up the best match-day thread they’ve ever seen. I’ll show Dr Gloom who’s really in charge around here! (A notification from Dr Gloom pops up.) Dr Gloom: (typing) Good luck, Gemmill! Just remember, the king always reigns supreme. Gemmill: (typing) We’ll see about that! (The forum erupts in playful banter, as both sides rally for their heroes. CT decides to lighten the mood.) CT: (typing) How about I bring some of my curry to the next match? Bet you’ll be the king of the BBQ! Wykiktoon: (typing) As long as it’s not another “Bhuna Bonanza,” I’m in. (Renton rolls his eyes.) Renton: (typing) Great. Just what we need. A curry king and a hipster. (Gemmill types furiously, but a grin spreads across his face.) Gemmill: (typing) You know what? This is Toontastic. We’re all kings here! (Scene 4: The Conclusion) (The forum fills with laughter and camaraderie. Gemmill, Dr Gloom, Wykiktoon, CT, and Renton all realize that despite their rivalry, the spirit of Toontastic prevails.) Dr Gloom: (typing) Alright, Gemmill. Let’s see who really reigns supreme this match day! Gemmill: (typing) May the best thread win! (The chat closes with laughter and anticipation as the match approaches, and the camaraderie of Toontastic shines through.) (Lights fade.)
