Bloody Andy McCluskey, not even on lead vocals but still annoying me.

Welsh Megaman

Ah, to be stranded on a desert island with Pierce Brosnan’s wife

Gizmo55

Whoop, g'wan the Larry!

Welsh Megaman

Cameo!





Nice...sunglasses. :pac:

Gizmo55

Larry actually plays the bass in this on the album.

Welsh Megaman

One of these men onstage would later become a man of the cloth.


Reverend James Somerville, of course.

Nearly all these songs (plus those in the Top 40) feature on the first ever Now! Compilation I bought, Now! 8

Ha ha! I've had the first ever Now! on vinyl. It didn't even have a number. 1983 I believe .

Yes, I really am that old. Can't wait to catch up on tonight's TOTP. I loved Cameo. Is it "Word Up"?

Indeed. It’s the code word :cool:

He's in some of the, 'It was acceptable in the (whichever decade)' programmes.

The clues were there, look at the way he's trying to fashion a Dog Collar by clever use of a white shirt and buttoning

Excellent John Savage documentary on 1966 just started on BBC Four.

Well, it does contain music

Those red dots terified me. Think the booklet was kept under the stairs, or maybe we were supposed to shelter under the stairs...or both :eek:

Twiggy

Did she ever forgive Elwood for standing her up at the intersection?

Welsh Megaman

Excellent companion cd too..

Farley ‘Jackmaster’ Funk!

We need more music videos starring Chevy Chase

Skid X

Paul Simon should have ditched Art Garfunkel for Chevy Chase much earlier.

Skid X

For some reason, I remember that Big Country 'One Great Thing' video getting terrible reviews on Saturday Superstore, and one of the reviewers pointed out that "it must have cost them a fortune"

The dual disappointments of spending lots of money and still getting a bad review must have left an impression on me as I ate my Rice Krispies.

Skid X

Richard Coles looks non-plussed here, with everyone else on stage having a great time.

I wonder if he bangs out this one on the Church Organ every now and then, just for old times sake?

Welsh Megaman

Shane McGowan on Sky Arts right now, talking about Joe Strummer’s time with The Pogues.

With subtitles

Welsh Megaman

Never seen ‘Straight To Hell’, must check it out

Skid X

This BBC4 thing with two people picking some decent videos and talking about them before they show them is decent.

Costs next to nothing, and they usually have some interesting lesser seen videos on it.

Welsh Megaman

‘The Green Green Grass Of Home’



Mmf. Darn dust in my eye.

It's a kind of a pisstake of a spaghetti western.

Welsh Megaman

‘Give Out But Don’t Give Up’ has always left me cold...too overproduced, too much of a Rolling Stones parody, hence the new ‘lost’ album.

Any love on here for ‘Vanishing Point’?

Skid X

I enjoyed that Beverley Knight and James Morrison chat


Otis Redding was pleased with his original version of Respect, then Aretha came along and owned it big time

"That girl done stole my song ..."

Otis took it in good heart

Also, I thought they might have used this as an example of Steven Tyler's Soul and Gospel vocal chops ...

When they were filming that in Spain, there was a festival in the town where they were staying.There were about 10 tunes playing on a loop on the town speaker system. One of those tunes would later evolve into "Fiesta"

If you are looking for a Scottish Band who decamped to Memphis to make their difficult second album, which didn't get a proper commercial release ...

Maybe it's Glasgow heroin remorse :pac: So disappointing after Screamadelica I quickly lost interest and yet was still only learning about American soul music at the time.
