Ackey Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 spacemen 3 were just brilliant! saw them at reading about '89..stunning. been listening to some nine inch nails bootlegs, the weirdos, mc5, the cramps, the jam all day. I love a now defunct unsigned band called Saucerman. I can't find anything they did online, but if you come across it give it a go. Top stuff.

Ackey Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 That's like asking a parent to pick their favourite Kid! I can't think of a bad song. They're one of the few bands when I know I'll not hate anything they have done if it comes on my iPod... but... for now I will go with... At the moment I love Airsteam Driver off the new album. Overall, I love Girl Shaped Love Drug from the last album. Old School, I like Blue Moon Rising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrro Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Alright, showing off with your embedding skillz I saw their first ever Manchester gig at the Roadhouse. They were bostin'. I'd have to say that Tijuana Lady and Las Vegas Dealer are my favourites. Although Devil Will Ride is up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Devil Will Ride is up there. *evil laughs* If you paste the Embed text in I will activate it for you (PM to remind me). Devil Will Ride is right up there too, you're right... but I can just list the albums to be honest. Oooh! And Balad of Nice and Easy!!! I've lost count of the number of times I've seen them live. I'm off to see them at Acc.1 on the 20th too... I love how they play live. Too many bands are unable to move beyond the song, but Mez mix it up, play remixes and never ending jams at the end of songs. Aces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I was saying down at the Smoke Rummy.... The Beach Boys with Daft Punk blood pumpin' through their viens - Animal Collective! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrro Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Excellent band. If you can find the album 'We Are Little Barrie' give it a listen. Well and Truly Done is a stonking tune. (Ackey/Rummy - do the honours if you wouldn't mind... ) Also worth checking out are Little Ze - they have a Myspaz page - and in particular their song 20ft Rat.

That's what it's like - just not Sham. The DK's without Jello Biafra? SLF without Jake? Just wouldn't work would it? (Although I might just concede that Bruce Foxton did a good job in place of Ali Mac) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although I might just concede that Bruce Foxton did a good job in place of Ali Mac) i think you hit it on the head till the last example..the lead vocalist is usually the person who gives a band its own identity and sound-swap a vocalist and its a different band IMO..swap a musician within the band and it usually sounds the same..eg oasis. though "from the jam" is ,in effect, the jam without weller on vocals,at least they are producing new material.the new vocalist isn't bad either,but at least he doesn't try to "be" weller...he's added a different approach.

To be honest Johnny, I was referring to Foxton taking over bass with SLF (It was always a contentious issue, where you either loved it or hated it) but I agree with your view on the Jam without Weller - it suddenly becomes a cover band. A good example is Paul Rodgers touring with Queen - The Bad Company and Free stuff is excellent, while the Queen stuff sounds like a good cover version.

Next time they're touring I might be able to get some tickets. I play football with Jamie Moses' son. In keeping with the thread, I'm going to stick Feel Like Makin' Love on the iPod now.
