I am really enjoying this. Up there with their best.

I've tried again, still seems incredibly Marillion by numbers to me, just doesn't seem to go anywhere? Some of the fan reaction on Social Media borders on Emperors New Clothes syndrome. Oh well, each to his own I guess 

I know what you mean about Social Media.  I have to admit to being a bit of a fanboi and just really excited to hear new music.

off to see Devin Townsend on Tuesday in Cambridge. Acoustic sit down gig which will be strange but he is always fun

The interesting part of the article was not the discussion on rabid fans but the fact that it is a really bad idea for the bands/brands listen to them. Why do a few tweets mean a brand bends over backwards and make itself you like a twat?

Liked this little opinion piece

bit late but congratulations

(missed out on it's first-ever vinyl release on Black Friday a few years back, it's just been reissued on clear vinyl)

Absolutely fantastic album. Brilliant drums from Ginger Backer and the rest of em aint bad either. Probably a desert island disc for me.

You go away for a week and everything changes. Typical.
I know the rigorous political debate on tnms (RIP) did put some people off. I just thought it was going nowhere.

You would have thought the cup had truly run dry but some keeps refilling it with procesco  as the party goes on and on.

Quote from: David L on March 28, 2022, 07:16:07 AMJoe Biden. What an abject performance this crisis has produced from the leader of the free world. All over the place

Apparently in Poland his speech went down very well.

It was a no brainer between Trump and Biden. Proven by Trump trying to bring down democracy in the USA.

You don't believe the collusion between US MSM and the Biden campaign to suppress the Hunter Biden story before the election and interference with democracy?

I don't believe in fairy tales

I have got some great boots of Sass Jordan on the Rats tour with Taylor on drums.
To quote Wikipedia
In the early 1990s, Sass Jordan toured with 22-year-old Taylor Hawkins, who later gained fame as the drummer of Foo Fighters. Of Jordan, Hawkins has said, "Sass taught me how to be in a rock and roll band and gave me my first rock and roll check." On July 9, 2015, Jordan was reunited with Hawkins when she joined Foo Fighters on stage in Toronto to cover "Stay With Me" by the Faces. Before the performance, Dave Grohl said, "If it weren't for Sass Jordan, Taylor Hawkins wouldn't be in Foo Fighters."

It is their last truly great album. It was all down hill from there but what a run it was.

Quote from: captainkurtz on March 26, 2022, 11:47:48 AMEver since Lemmy died in December 2015, I always get a little upset when artists die.  These people, to varying degrees, have made my life better than it would have been if I'd not known them.

A brilliant drummer, an essential personality within that band and a seemingly beautiful man.  I'm really sorry to learn of his passing.

Its when the artist dropping dead are younger than you that it starts to get worrying
