MANCHESTER

[craner]

Hey, don't you be slagging off the Straits and the Sprouts. That's classic gear.

 

[craner]

'Romeo and Juliet'? 'Cars and Girls'?

 

[Ness Rowlah]

The Durutti Colum, not "Duratti".

By all accounts he's an old right-wing shitbag but you have to love him for his description of Mumford & Sons, if nothing else. http://www.nme.com/news/the-fall--2/70608

Grumpy northern rock singers are always good for abusive quotes.

Are there any northerners on Dissensus?

[baboon2004]

he seems quite cheery here.

 

[Mr. Tea]

He's not right wing "some mongoloid Irish folk band" is funny though i agree

I read somewhere that he called the Daily Mail "the only worthwhile paper" or something similar but quite possibly he only said that to bait worthy Guardian types.

 

[Mr. Tea]

What about newcastle? Dire Straits, Cheryl Cole, Dubstar, Jimmy Nail, Prefab Sprout, Sting, Ant & Dec, THE LIGHTHOUSE FAMILY.

And Sheffield! Pulp, Cabaret Voltaire, Human League, Heaven 17, Thompson Twins and, um, Arctic Monkeys.

Sheffield had ABC, Human League, Heaven 17, Cabaret Voltaire, Warp. I like all that more than anything from Manchester. I love Juice Box but that doesn't seem like 'Manchester' music to me, more like a London outpost, a bit like DJ SS in Leicester and Roni Size in Bristol. They were making music that was being played in raves all around the country, but it was essentially a London style.

Keep up Tea!

 

[Mr. Tea]

Keep up Tea!

Oh arses. I'd probably better leave the music threads well alone, like I usually do.

Just realized 10 cc aren't here, and they need to be.

True. Magazine probably should be too, they had at least three great tunes - shot by both sides, light pours out of me and song from under the floorboards.

 

[CrowleyHead]

Heck the Magazine ALBUMS were decent. And not really just a depressing mediocrity dragging a band down like Joy Division. Astonished they're doing so well in the polls here.
