Re: 2022-05-21. Sentrum Scene, Oslo NO

At the end he said: "Live music is difficult!", combined with a wink and a kind of shoulder shrug. My girlfriend and I both heard 'different' and not 'difficult', not sure exactly what he meant. It was a really fun gig, people danced more to the old stuff but I can't blame them I danced m...

At this point I'd actually only be excited by a new studio album if it contained previously unheard material, not just previously unreleased material.

Definitely pleased by the new tour though.

In fairness there are loads of threads on this forum that have come to exactly the same conclusion ie Von's scared to reease anything new. Scared? Probably just realistic. Bauhaus releases a new album after 20+ years - it sucks The Stooges release a new album after 20+ years - it sucks I'm sure the...

I think I must be searching the wrong act. I can't find anything of merit in her material whatsoever. Did a YT search & got How To Be A Heartbreaker straight off the bat & lasted 38 seconds before & exited. Any pointers to something with substance? This is one of my favourites: http://w...

Yeah that was the first song I heard too, and I callously dismissed it, telling me girlfriend at the time it was boring and unoriginal and she should know better.

But give the family jewels album a try (skip tracks 2-5) and get back to me on the distinction between her and katy perry.

Marina and the Diamonds

Hear me out. We had threads on lady gaga and lana del rey.

Does anybody else like this music? I was prejudiced at first, but give it a listen and it turns out to actually be fantastically creepy in a rather clever way. It's drowning in cheesy pop hooks but we like this corrosion don't we?

This was what I found most disturbing

"Murphy denied drinking alcohol that day, adding that he had taken only his regular prescription pills for depression, according to police."

The godfather of goth shouldn't be taking pills for depression. It is Wrong.

Only gone and ordered one didn't I.

I'll stick it next to my deeply offensive* "30th anniversary of unknown pleasures" edition of NME.

*somebody cited the opening lyrics to 24 hours as the opening lyrics to shadowplay, I was mortified.

Going to reading on the Friday, hopefully to see the Cure I guess. Bought the ticket months ago to join someone who has since decided they don't want to know, but it doesn't seem worth selling it for much less than I paid. Depending what they play the angst and irony could be quite delicious.

Going back to JD, the most obvious link between the two bands (ie JD and TSOM) for those not familiar with the Mancunian Miserabilists (if that's not tautological) is that JD used to do a fairly faithful cover of Sister Ray live, a version of which can be found on the somehwat messy posthumous roun...

Ooh, tricky. Teachers and Gimme Shelter were both entirely sick, but I'm going to go with Gift that Shines for maybe the wrong reasons.
