Was watching a programme on John Farnham last night as I really had no idea who he was and the wife couldn’t believe it
They had this footage of a concert he did overseas for the army and had guests etc
They did this song and to see thousands of troops singing along made me laugh out loud
Never heard of the band or the song before

Another Phil bit.....

Original

And, what i believe to be, the only time the dead have given consent for an artist to use a sample at the 3:10 mark(feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) - bonus points to animal collective for being able to get a groove feel from on odd time signature

Dude it is
another side side story. Like 10-11 yrs ago Morrissey bailed like 2yrs in row playing shoreline amphitheater. A year or 2 later had another show there . Didnt bother getting tix cuz figured bail again(and little broke at the time) and of course played that year. Then he bailed the next night in LA cuz it was too cold outside lol.

Really enjoying the new album from Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp. Sadly I’ll be working in Germany when they visit London next week, so OTPMD will have to remain on my wish list of bands to see live.

How r u guys feeling about the new Cure record?

[SKT]

I’m really looking forward to it. Was just listening to this one last week. Sad fall music is my jam…

Edit: Also, Robert Smith can write a song

[Tago Mago]

@Matt same as every other album of theirs. Total indifference. Hope you enjoy it, nevertheless

[Matt]

@SKT it’s out.

My Spotify algorithm overlord did not feed me this information. Glad to know and will give it a listen

RIP Quincy Jones
Obviousely he had his hands in songs much better than this one but it's one of my earliest musical memories having heard this playing on my parents alarm clock radio on a random morning in the early/mid 80s

[Tago Mago]

So I was listening to a random selection of songs today and a thought came to me: what's the greatest song that was never released as a single? Not sure if we had this discussion before, but would be interested to hear your thoughts. Strong contenders imo: Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven, Pixies - Where is my mind, Pearl Jam - Black

[Jett129]

@Tago-Mago Definitely an interesting question. Some of the more ambitious/longer songs were edited in order to fit on the 45 format. Can’t imagine you could do that with Stairway.

[Jett129]

@Tago-Mago Maybe A Day in the Life by The Beatles.

[Tago Mago]

@Jett129 100% agree. I hate the edited version of Heroes for example. Or can you imagine Bohemian Rhapsody in a radio-friendly 3 minute version? Unthinkable, but then again that was released as a single at a whopping 5:55 and it worked
