Reminds me of the 90's. As a kid avidly reading music magazines, which were more readily at hand than the they music featured; especially on the Isle of Wight! I must had read numerous retrospective/re-release reviews, features and knew the band were named after a scandic board game, before hearing - frazzled - note from Husker Du!
Sad day. RIP Rick. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/sep/08/ick-davies-supertramp-frontman-co-founder-dies-aged-81
I enjoy a bit of The Long Ryders, Sid Griffin is a bit of a legend in my family!! I enjoy this one...
So sad, Supertramp are epic, so many great tracks. If you youngsters aren't too familiar with them listen to Retrospectacle on Spotify(Better still CD!).
When I was in my teens and mostly listening to glam rock, a school mate introduced me to ‘Even In The Quietest Moments’, an album that I still listen to regularly today along with ‘Crime of the Century’. I know ‘Breakfast In America’ was their massive one and I do like it but the 2 former ones have stayed with me all my life and now bring back so many good memories.
Just been watching some videos in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assasination from Donald Trump, Fox News and various Maga supporters and their rhetoric is for a right v left civil war. Scary stuff and as we know what happens in the USA is sometimes followed by the UK. Thought that this is appropriate right now... There are certainly crazy extreme right individuals that could potentianally want to start a civil war by killing a prominent Maga spokesman.
Who remembers this classic from MOTD, GOTM in the 90s?... I love the fourth comment below the video... @ForestKicks 5 years ago GOAL A: Alan Shearer GOAL B: Ryan Giggs GOAL C: Matt Le Tissier GOAL D: Stan Collymore GOAL E: Matt Le Tissier GOAL F: Dwight Yorke GOAL G: Andy Cole GOAL H: Matt Le Tissier
Been reading an effusive review if a Schubert piano sonata un A major and was tempted to listen. It is strange to read such an ecstatic description of something I found almost unlistenable. I really so not like Germanic classical music....it went wrong after Haydn!
The prog classic, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, is 50 years old and there is a new box set out this week to mark it. This is a very good review for fans of the original album...
