Heartland

Just listening to the replay of the Chris Moyles Show coming live from Leeds - did anyone see it? - and in Comedy Dave's famous Tedious Link, where he goes from one song to another through a convoluted series of comparisons, he says Leeds is the home of many great bands, such as The Sisters of Mercy, The M!ssion, Utah Saints, and Embrace (who were playing that day).

So, ye doubters of Moyles, we have a friendly ear on the show!
Not worth putting in Sisters chat, though, for fear of the Wrath of Bux.
This is the second time Dave has mentioned The Sisters. I'm going to bombard the show with requests for ever and a day...

Embrace - Huddersfield (not even close).

And if he failed to mention The Wedding Present, then he's clearly still a c**t. No change there then.

"Happy Dave is here again ..."

You miserable sod. I've left a messgage on your answer phone. I'll call later and we can see who's the most suicidal. Off to sign on with the dregs of humanity.

that fat git is so far behind the times it hurts. no kaisers, black wire or ivories?

not even soft cell?

seems he's not just behind the times but an ignorant fuckwit too.

but then we knew that.

He did mention that Embrace are actually from outside Leeds. I wasn't aware, as I've never even heard of this band before.

Don't we all know, as well, that to be recognised in the Land of Fake Jazz Nonsense you have to REALLY make it - or at least ride the coat-tails of success. Hence why some bands you treasure didn't make it onto a three-second list. The Ivories are new, as are Black Wire, and the Kaisers were played later - however, the context of the bands I quoted Dave on were clearly supergroups of some vintage

And although Dave is a perenially miserable git, he is actually the writing and comedy spark behind the CM Show. Clearly not to everyone's tastes, but the man himself - of whom I've always liked more than Moyles - is quite a happy chap.

Well, so would I if I had a BBC wage.

Cor, my first stalker. Got an appointment with those lovely people myself, so don't be expecting anyone to pick up the phone.

Ahem, what about the flippin Utahs!

has anyone mentioned The Mekons or The Three Johns yet?
Bogshed*, anyone?

*might not actually be from Leeds, but pretty damn close IIRC

Embrace. Most certainly not a great band.

Were the Newtown Neurotics from Leeds?

This I know now.

Harlow......I think?

and no Forward Russia, the best band to come out of Leeds in at least 15 years.

This was an utterly pointless post made purely with the intention of saying hello to anyone I don't see any more online since I "blacked out" from you know where...

Harlow it was. Long time since Leeds was a new town.

Roughly.

It's all England!

Woah, hold on. If I assumed where you live and where Scotty lives were the same place, all Scotland, I'd be lucky to escape with all my limbs. I'm not having my thread derailed - well, derailed this badly! - you take that back!

I have a few (potentially litigious) tales to tell about John Galvin, their some-time bassist.

Indeed.

I'm assuming that John's still alive? (Not an assumption I'm making about Birdy as it happens. )

Well you wouldn't, would you.

Sorry Tim, you can have your thread back now.

Yes he can

I don't want it!

I'm glad if I can help derail anything pertaining to bloody Chris Moyles.
