Really useful graphs and graphics cheer me up. As do really, really terrible ones.

Yes, there was quite a queue for those tickets. Being able to walk to a gig by a big name in a small venue really is something special.kingstongraham said:

I take it that this is a discussion about popular beat combos.0

They're definitely not consistently good but that's OK. Got some tunes.rick_chasey said:You guys like the 1975? Holy moly.
What's impressive is that our local independent record shop regularly gets the biggest acts in the country to play in our little nightclub.0 -
I'd taken Rick's comment as surprise that a bunch of Boomers like a band that he knows rather than him thinking they're shite.kingstongraham said:

Nah, they're just soft pop fodder aimed at teenage girls.
Not remotely a fan, but it's more that ^^0 -
It's Not Living If It's Not With You is astonishing - pure pop production, glorious tune and tragic lyrics about heroin addiction.rick_chasey said:Nah, they're just soft pop fodder aimed at teenage girls.

By coincidence, whilst I'd heard of them I couldn't think of any of their songs then switched on Radio 2 just now for Popmaster and there they were. The song they played was more in lin with Rick's analysis to be honest.0

Their new album is a bit of a step away from anything more adventurous - and it's true, "I'm in love with you" is particularly uninteresting. Also they seem to have discovered a love for that 80s pop saxophone sound which is disconcerting.Pross said:By coincidence, whilst I'd heard of them I couldn't think of any of their songs then switched on Radio 2 just now for Popmaster and there they were.

Previous three albums are some good stuff.0 -
Not really, which is why I didn't go to that one. I've been to gigs in a small venue a short walk away from my house by the Who, the Kaiser Chiefs, Slaves, the Specials, Seasick Steve, Frank Carter, Jeff Goldblum and others. Other big names have played, someimes I don't manage to get tickets. Whatever you think about the bands the fact that a small independent record shop gets them to play a small club is remarkable and makes me very happy. KG and I are very lucky to have such a thing on our doorstep.rick_chasey said:You guys like the 1975? Holy moly.

Finding YouTube videos that show you exactly how to do something techie, you watch it (twice) then execute the task precisely as shown. T'wonderz of t'interwebz. 😊4

Just seeing the bosses lad’s band playing on Soccer AM. Theoretically he’s a colleague but for some reason feels touring with Liam Gallagher is preferential to doing CAD work.0

^ removal from the gene pool is a good thing.
Another cheerer, placed an order for a new door lock unit, the Ultion 3*Plus, good kit, at just before 5pm yesterday Friday, telephone call back by them to confirm details, sizing etc. Said unit is on its way, due to arrive mid pm today via DPD. Good work 👍0 -
Avoiding getting lapped on the first lap of the first cross country league race of the season. As well as being part of the local league it is also a round of the national series so all the quick Brits were there plus several international runners. Fastest in the field has a 5000m time of 13.03 and won bronze at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Considering how bad my form and fitness are even by my own worse than mediocre standards I’d set that as my target and made it by about 200m.0 -
^ Is that not from some time ago? A bell is chiming in my head saying 'repeat'0

Ordered wifi cameras from the A-word on Thursday after the weird goings on with the placed ciggies etc. Due next Saturday. Arrived at 5pm today. Unexpected.
Hub and first camera up and running straight away, easy peasy. Temp placement on a window sill overlooking driveway. Will fit them properly outside tomorrow when it's daylight.
Here's looking at you, weirdo.0 -
I actually have some lederhosen which I bought as being more savoury than borrowing them for playing in oompah bands (and the borrowed ones weren't bought with skinny cyclists in mind) ... then the gigs dried up, so they are almost pristine. Perhaps next time I get some Paulaner bier I should don them...ddraver said:This is rather güt....
Where did I put those lederhosen...0
