Re: WHAT THE FCUK ARE YOU LOT LISTENIN TO - When it's not the fucking Stranglers??!
I've been listening to the new Current Affairs LP "Off The Tongue", it's great. My favourite track is "Get Wrecked". First half is quite a Siouxsie-esque shoutfest but the outro is quite Stranglers-y imo. Very Cornwell style lead guitar parts in the final section. https://open.sp...

Re: New album confirmed (edit: or is it?)
It's not just his singing, i dont think baz has any experimental instincts. He seems to be able to mimic a strangler sound in a track, but not come up with left field ideas of his own. Its all soft rock. He's what the stranglers need for good performances and fun time on tour, but not for a mind bl...

Re: Dark Matters has it stood the test of time?
Still really enjoy it, not up their with their best, but top 10 IMO. My favourite track is still ‘No Mans Land’ (would love to hear that live) When I wrote my earlier post in this thread, No Man's Land was one of the tracks I completely forgot existed (I also forgot about The Lines). I enjoy it, it...

Re: Dark Matters has it stood the test of time?
sorry to be negative.Major Kudu. This is literally your own thread, Kudu. :lol: I like Dark Matters about as much as I did when it came out. It's a lot better than Giants, although I miss Jet's drumming. The Dave song is a great tribute and packs an emotional punch. Water sounds fantastic although ...

Re: Youtube
Conversely, I was not really Paul fan when I originally heard the MKII albums but then when I saw the band live for the first time in 2002 I was converted. In The Night grew on me especially, and then the others in the following years, particularly About Time and the first half of WIR. By the time N...

Re: Glastonbury 2023
I enjoyed the Sparks set, very similar to the recent tour setlist but with a little less of the 70s stuff (Beaver O Lindy) and the new album.

Re: Kirk Brandon get well soon.
Hope Kirk feels better soon, I really enjoy a lot of that early Theatre of Hate stuff with his unique voice, particularly "Original Sin". I can't help but feel that they (both Theatre of Hate and Spear of Destiny) would have been more revered if they'd laid off the saxophones a bit. Maybe...

Re: Kirk Brandon get well soon.
Let's look again at what was said: Oh no, whenever I hear about a gay man being rushed into hospital and being on the verge of death I always fear the worst :( Glad to hear he's on the mend. Now let's look at it again without the word "gay": Oh no, whenever I hear about a man being rushed ...
