My Mum and Dad would drive over to the mining villages with food and things. I remember going into strangers homes and my Mum giving them bags of food. We would always get a warm welcome and looking back the tea and biscuits we would be given was a huge thank you given their circumstances.
I...
I saw Hayseed Dixie before COVID and they were absolutely brilliant. It's a great show and jeez they can play! You definitely need to get some tickets for it!!
It might be an unpopular opinion but I thought Coldplay were superb in the early days. My comparison was definitely a positive one...
We were absolutely immense for about 70 minutes today but that's all we needed. Doku was absolutely unplayable and you won't see a better wingers performance all season. He's been threatening to do this for a while but seeing them putting 2 on him and then him walking past them like he was a...
I listened to the album about 5 times in one day! :) it started out as background music more than anything but each listen I just seemed to hear something I liked. I've had it on quite a few times and really enjoying it!
Yeah the Coldplay comparison is one I wasn't sure was a compliment haha...
Haha we all have different ears but quite a few on the album are a country/pop rock I thought. I think it would (to my ears) be filed as country rock overall!!
Strangely I never seem able to pick out any country in Taylor Swift though!
I agree with this - it does feel like if they don't win it this year when arguably City and Liverpool are bringing in new players and adjusting their style, they won't win it for a long time.
I also think it might be a strange league as well where someone odd wins it. I just think there's too...
That Arsenal result tonight means we can put a little bit of pressure on them with a win tomorrow. Arsenal thought they'd be clear and I think it's just another example of this league being stronger than in normal years. There's very few genuinely poor teams and any of the top 15 are capable of...
I'd never heard of these and I decided not to read any of the comments before listening to it.
When it started, I quite liked the first few seconds and I thought we might be in for something quirky and for some reason I was getting a Gomez/Whippin Piccadilly vibe. I was looking forward to...
What a superb write-up @OB1, the effort you put in really shows and they are absolutely brilliant to read. You could quite easily put these into a book!
Wham - Last Christmas
One of the great songs that everyone knows and soundtracked every Christmas since it was written. It's timeless.
It's...
Some great nominations here already and whilst we have plenty of synth pop and indie, there's other genres that are appearing here that I think we have missed
Here's a few from me
Herbie Hancock - Rockit
It's quite hard to describe how different this new hip hop/electro sound was. Things like...
Great game that today and the difference between the teams was Haaland, Cherki, Foden and Doku who were all superb I thought. Gonzalez had probably his best game for us as well today and did very well. Great goal by O'Reilly as well - he's looking better every game and will be a real asset for...
I've had an Aeropress for a few years and it's never let me down. I use the Tesco Italian ground coffee and a milk whisker and honestly it's superb and simple. It's far better than any Starbucks etc and honestly, for the money you can't go wrong. We have these fancy machines in work and I don't...
I love this album.
As I said when I nominated Revolver, I couldn't really get the music of the mid 80s as it just didn't really seem to connect with me. Bands like Bon Jovi, Def Leopard etc etc just passed me by really. When I accidentally came across Revolver and DSOTM in my Dad's record...
