I haven't listened to all of that Don Powell song (I Won't Be Playing Wonderwall Tonight) but I have to say, it's not bad: Half Man Half Biscuit meet Barron Knights Uptown.

Why have I just thought about Bruce forsyth's Spitting Image model?

The Culture Bunker

I was always confused by Robin Gibb's dodgy wig, as I remember for most of the 90s he was clearly mostly bald atop. If he'd done like his brother and went down the hat route for a while before revealing the rug (or weave), it would have made more sense.

I know he obviously didn't, but I'm amused at the idea of him just going "and yeah, funny thing, it all grew back!"

Quote from: jamiefairlie on September 21, 2022, 11:10:15 PMHow can Sweet still be a band?

Actually, what's the group opinion on what constitutes the same band? How many original members or is the classic line up more important? What if the band exists continuously but members get changed over time (like cells in the human body), is that still the same band, should they be able to use the name?
Napalm Death's original lineup were all gone by 1989 or thereabouts, but they've been fairly stable since then. Perhaps they're okay.

Isn't Mick Harris still with th... Oh, Mitch Harris.


I think this lot should have hung up the old moogs a few years ago:

Leee John and Plastic Bertrand feels like Mike Read just plucked two names from a hat and persuaded them to make a song together.

Total rip-off of the Chic sound (mostly 'We are Family' I think), but I've got to admit that is an absolute banger - best thing either of them have ever done!

I'm fascinated that what we might have here is some kind of actual, and separate from the mainstream, genre.  In the sense that it has its own kind of codes and signifiers, and actually it seems a lot more interesting, at least in the sense that the artists here seem, at least relatively speaking, quite free.

Best go to bed now.

SteveDave

Has Jim Lea featured in this chart yet? He's back and he's heard a Stereophonics album.


Turns out this is from ages ago

daf

Yes a couple of times - with that Wonderwall is shit song.

Edit : Oops - That was Don Powell wasn't it!

Has Kunt and the Gang got a single out this Christmas? Would be great to have Mike Read play it or, even better, ban it - like he used to do with Frankie.

Edit: actually this probably isn't possible - as looking on their voting form (see link below) I can't see an option for a write in - you just choose from the options they give you! #notoriouslybentchart

I still can't work out if there's a way to vote for a track they don't already suggest on, (what I like to call), "this notoriously bent chart". Are you supposed to be able to write in your own suggestion on that blank 59th option - or is that just a placeholder they haven't got round to deleting?
