Brexit is responsible for a boy band called Breunion Boys.

‘The Breunion Boys are a European boy band who released their first single, "Britain Come Back", in December 2018, with the goal of convincing the people of the United Kingdom to not leave the European Union’.

What a **** up?

Here’s the video.:p

Thats a bloody good incentive to leave...lol
But yeah ....its crazy stuff...is why you need 75 percent majority for those kind of decisions. 51 percent means half the pollies also.
 
I like some alt country and country music. ... Hello, is anyone still there?

Anyway, Spotify have been stalking me, as they do, and recommended the two tracks below from Slaid Cleaves (his name alone could come in handy, depending on the Scrabble house rules that you play by).

I can’t vouch for the guy’s whole catalogue, but I like these two live tracks (more than the studio versions of the same songs tbh):

Broke Down





One Good Year

Ha ha. The rap piece towards the end is artistic perfection!

In a continent that saw The Hoff’s “Looking for Freedom” chart remarkably well in the late 80s (it went to number one in multiple countries), I suppose you can’t be too careful in determining parodies and spoofs from the real thing! What chance did communism have against this?

This is the sort of stuff I have survived on since 1973.

Keef and his second band The Expensive Winos released Talk is Cheap in 1988. Great album with a who’s who of players. Do yourself a favour and have a listen.

The 30th anniversary edition has been released with bonus tracks. Now how can I convince my kids to buy it for me.

Here’s an article about the release.

‘To mark its 30th anniversary, Talk is Cheap has been reissued in five formats, the most elaborate being a Fender-built case made from the identical ash wood as Richards’ Micawber Telecaster (a favourite among the 3000 guitars he owns)’.

The video works in this article.

Here’s my favourite track. I love it when he mellows out.

Will definitely give this a proper listen when I get the chance Robbo, and will let you know how I find it. Regardless, BlueGum (hopefully) and I, along with any other hardy souls in this thread, simply must find a way of dragging you out of your pre-1974 musical comfort zone. There’s no need for us to turn you into a “cultural shark”, who is forever moving forward to stay alive, but seriously 1973?! :p

Btw, I’ll keep an eye out for the Sunderland result over the weekend. Like a surprisingly large number of Newcastle supporters online (I’ve found at least one writing on The Mag website - that’s “surprisingly large”!), I’ll be hoping that you get the chocolates at Wembley. I might even hope that you make it through the likely nail biting promotion play-offs at season’s end, although I must admit that I haven’t been able to locate any other Newcastle supporters who will stretch themselves that far ;)
 
Popular band for Neo-Nazis.

Quotes taken from article entitled;
Rammstein video: German rock band causes outrage with Nazi clip


German hard rock group Rammstein has provoked outrage with a video featuring the band dressed up as Nazi concentration camp prisoners.

At least one band member appears to be wearing a yellow Star of David of the type Jews were forced to wear by the Nazis.

Felix Klein, the German government's commissioner for anti-Semitism, said that if the Holocaust imagery in the video was just used to promote sales, then it was "a tasteless exploitation of artistic freedom".

The band has built its image around dark militaristic aesthetics, and in a 1998 video used footage from Leni Riefenstahl's 1936 Nazi propaganda film Olympia.

Their videos, lyrics and album artwork have included references to necrophilia, sado-masochism and sexual violence.

No thanks from me.

Sincere commiserations for the Sunderland result on the weekend Robbo - a heartbreaking way for it all to end, after your boys conceded a late-ish equaliser in regular time, scored an uplifting equaliser right at the death in extra time, and then went on to lose 5-4 in a penalty shootout. High drama certainly, but it’s a seriously cruel game at times.

Btw, what I’ve read about the numbers and behaviour of your supporters in London is a credit to the club. I think it’s important to make the most of Wembley appearances, as it can be a long time between drinks.

Good luck for your promotion push in the weeks ahead - it looks like being another nail biter!

When Robbo was a young lad football dominated his life however, when it wasn’t football, music provided plenty of enjoyment. In those days there was some access to music on the TV but it mainly word of mouth and radio which created the interest to start buying records. LPs were too expensive so I started small and bought 45s.

One of my favs and in my singles collection was Max Merret and the Meteors. Max was another Kiwi who dominated the local scene. In those days it was a cornucopia of great musical styles and Max specialised in rythym and blues. It was the swing and the horns that got me.

While everyone was pulling themselves over Midnight Oils 10, 9, 8..... and rightfully so, The Church pulled out the wonderful guitar driven ‘Blurred Crusade’ which still sounds fresh.

Granted they got a bit trippy, major league experimental, but this is still nice.

Has a wonderful bass run through it.
 
Saw this wonderful doco on Mick Ronson, Bowie’s guitarist in the Ziggy years.

Thought he was some Luddite from Hull, but he did some stuff.

Lived like he was a millionaire, though he never was one.

Half the arranging on Lou’s Transformer......him.

John Cougar whatever his name is, Jack & Dianne......him

Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Tour....him.

Watched it also, really enjoyed it.
Didn’t get the credit he deserved, didn’t really want it though.
Rock star in the truest sense.

Robbo’s 45 collection continues with Healing Force and the song Golden Miles. These were the days when the Hammond organ was king. A jazz vibe dominates. Great vocal. Sorry for the picture quality.

Classic track. Used to twirl the old valve and bakelite radio round the stations to hear it again and again. On a good night could pick up Hobart Adelaide Sydney Brisbane and occasionally Perth from country Vic.
 
I’ve always supported Australian content in my 45s and here’s a great rock band of the 60s and 70s.

Masters Apprentices hailed from Adelaide and are another example of the influence of post world war 2 immigration on the music scene.

If you look closely Glenn Wheatley is on bass guitar, Jim Keays on vocals, Doug Ford on guitar and the drummer. Nobody ever remembers the drummer’s name. I love that Doug is looking like Ritchie Blackmore in his felt hat and the drummer is doing his best Keith Moon impersonation.

MA were responsible for so many classics of the era. Living in a Child’s Dream, Turn up your Radio, It’s because I Love you and Future of our Nation.

 
Here’s one to get your feet tapping and your hips jigging. A classic from Robbo’s 15th year on this earth. I was going to post it on the preview thread as it has some relevance to our match this week. But let’s face it. Toxicity is the name of the game in preview, game day and autopsy thread. Enough with the editorial. Ladies and Gentlemen!
