Stewart Lee is a genius.
I seen Content Provider 'Live' in March ... and now sitting down to watch it on iPlayer :-)

Genius is an overused word.
But so apt to describe Stewart.
I listen to him nearly every day. He has an album on Spotify and some longer clips on Youtube

Discovered this album on Spotify today, just released this week.
If you like your post punk, this might appeal to you.
Reminded me a bit of Killing joke meets the Editors, with some unique vocals thrown in.

Shame- Songs Of Praise

I have the family version, 5 subsciptions for £14.99. Like Jim I have discovered so much through it. Just reading the latest Baz interview, with the ACDC , Neil Young albums he mentioned, you can listen to it immediately. I would however say that I make a point of buying CDs by new bands if I like t...

Love Simple Minds but frankly Im dreading the new album. They have won back many of their fans in the last 5 years, with a recognition of the earlier material that made them popular, before they got lost in stadium waffle. Now, they've ditched the drummer and keyboard player, and I believe we can ex...

Great band - was at the XTC convention in Swindon 3 weeks ago.

Jim

Got time to post any reviews or details?

Bob,
There's some stuff on the Chalkhills facebook group

In my opinion the UK most inventive group.
If you are wanting something to watch this Saturday night, Sky Arts has an XTC documentary.
There is so much more to them than "Making Plans For Nigel".
Genius is an overused word, but actually underused in their case.

She was certainly an icon back in the day. Stunning looks , great vocals and highly underrated lyrics too. However, I was really put off her when I saw the video of them being inducted into the Rock'n'roll hall of fame in 2006. She absolutely refused to have original members Nigel Harrison & Frank I...

Lagos, it is overcast and thundery. Much like the UK

That's great.
Really good to hear alternative versions of the MiB.
Might have to try something myself now!

I mentioned The Silk Roads recently, an epic work which covers the history of that region, and pretty much the world. Explains much about what the hell is going on today. For today only, it's on Amazon Kindle deal of the day, for 99p. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00XN8UG3C/ref=s9_acsd_hps_bw...

Radio 6 for me too. The Word magazine was great, but is alas no more. Not sure about new music but I use this website to find artists I am not so familair with. It compiles all the Best Of lists http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk Also, can I shout out the The Great Albums podcast, which analyses (funnil...

This is so true :-) Scotlands hero :lol: :lol: :lol: Look at the guy in the audience with a beard, if looks could kill :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHA1ufmLZQY It truly is a different form of comedy. Genius doesn't even begin to describe it. Reminds me of the Hugh Cornwel...
