The Temperance Movement have recently released their new album A Deeper Cut. This is the first track from said album.
Been playing this a lot recently. Plastic Hambugers by Fantastic Negrito is the lead track from their upcoming album Please Don't Be Dead.
Looking back on this thread not sure anyone has mentioned that ABBA are releasing new songs. Which brings me to a huge question. Best ABBA song ever? This is mine: They were all going through divorces etc and this song is so poignant. You can feel the emotion in Agnetha's voice and the meaning behind it. 38 years later I still feel it. EDIT: I also must mention the incredible voice and musical arrangement. Pure genius. EDIT 2: Quick google and her divorce to Bjorn was finalised just after this song hit the charts. Incredible professionalism.
I posted two of my top Abba tunes recently funnily enough, posts #3264 and #3473, but my absolute top song would have to be this one... Everything about it is almost perfect, the songwriting, arrangement and singing, even Alan Partridge hasn't put me off it!...
Could almost have a thread of its own this. Fav ABBA song no 3. The fact we got James Bond singing it in Mamma Mia is even better!
Last one I promise. Absolute GOLD! Can I say thank you for the music, my childhood anthems and letting me obsess with blondes all my life
Apologies for going back to ABBA, but this is where it all started, in the Brighton Dome during Eurovision 1974:
Ok, some more tunes that have grabbed my attention recently... This is from Scousers, The Coral's forthcoming second album since their comeback in 2016, Move Through The Dawn out in August...
And i've followed these Canadian Post Punk revivalists closely for a couple of years now, this is from their current album, New Material...
I remember it well, it was a revelation for Eurovision, an intelligent song that was "current" in style (and they were singing in English!), a good start to a great career for them.
I heard once that during the late 70’s they were earning over $1million every day. Still doing pretty well nowadays I believe!
Rock and Roll Guitarist, Singer and Songwriter, Link Wray was born Fred Lincoln Wray Jr. in Dunn, North Carolina in 1929... This instrumental hit popularised the power chord which later emerged in Heavy Metal and Punk...
Just been catching up with the latest “Bosch” series and the brilliant theme music has finally driven me to investigate what it is. The band is Caught a Ghost, an electro-indie outfit from, naturally, Los Angeles:
