I thought the last one Resistance is futile was even better. At this point I'd rank Resistance is Futile alongside Postcards from a Young Man - the sort of sweeping, dramatic rock album they can do in their sleep, whereas Futurology was more out on a limb and better for it. Completely agree. Futuro...

the only prob they have is Nicky Wire is in them.

you mean, the bloke who writes most of the songs..?

I don't know if I'm alone in this but I'm sick to death of this non stop stuff about race , slavery etc It's a conversation that needs to be had because too many people want to stick their head in the sand about it.

Always said the past few years when that one dropped off the playlist I'd go again soon , but always coincided roughly same time as we'd be looking at h...

Despite JJ asserting that Giants was their most successful album since the MK1 days, there's not much to back that up. Yes, I think that's almost complete tosh.

There was a pub I went to in Norwich that constantly had Bon Jovi/Guns n Roses stuff on, they got a blast of Laurie Anderson's "O Superman". We had to leave before it had finished... The bowling alley used to have a jukebox but they got rid of it a short time after I put "Chocolate Salty Balls" and ...
