    The Album Review Club - Week #191 (page 1286) - Harlequin Dream - Boy & Bear

    I'm not sure you are regularly as "curmudgeonly" as @BimboBob ...but fair and honest and not meant as a sleight. As for Pixies they were excellent.I even found this grumpy old 55yr old inadvertently moving my legs and shoulders along with it all. No chat, no bullshit just onstage, wave and...

    No matter what the score I always like your responses. After reading that one along with last weeks I immediately thought of ..... but couldnt decide which one would be you and which of the regualrs you would be sitting beside..

    The Album Review Club - Week #191 (page 1286) - Harlequin Dream - Boy & Bear

    Very enjoyable pick this week and I wonder if this is about the first week where none of the regulars had ever listened to or owned this choice? So hats off to Fog for really catching everyone off guard. Will certainly be interesting as to whether CR changes or reinvents herself over time as per...

    Listened again and think I was a little dismissive with the "bubblegum pop" labelling. There is a bit more to it and was perhaps focussing too much on "Pink Pony Club" which was bubblegum and actually became a little annoying. Will give it another listen tomorrow before scoring, but certainly...

    Liverpool Thread | 2024/25

    My thoughts exactly. You cannot judge how well Slots team will play based on the opposition. Even today Im not sure it was because we were good or Trafford Utd were simply shit. As others have said, the issue is the midfield. As good as Szobozslai is I do think he may burn out again. He started...

    The Album Review Club - Week #191 (page 1286) - Harlequin Dream - Boy & Bear

    Evening folks. An enjoyable little hiatus for me and an enjoyable week all in. Pixies were excellent, a few drinks had and amazingly no huge hangover was an added plus. A few days off work and an enjoyable meeting with my managers where they once again showed themselves up and painted themselves...

    NO! Thank you. Forget the scoring, its the fact that one person may have discovered/enjoyed something they wouldnt have heard before. That to me is what is wonderful about this. Its how I felt about Fantastic Negrito and to a degree Budos Band. Both wonderful "finds", that I doubt I would ever...

    As ever thank you to @SPIDERBOY & @CTID1977 for your continued updates. I recall mention of possible pushes in Kherson with possible landings on Kinburn...has there been anythign else about this? Or radio silence?

    I do love the strong feelings either way on all offerings that folks put forward. Its funny when you get such strident views, which is reinforced by the (almost) universal love in for Oasis. It always reminds me.... Talking Heads, just a band Oasis, just a band

    And how much are you charging for a space on your sofa?

    Oasis reunion

    Apparently MCD stating that tickets ffor Croke Park will be around €87 which would mean sterling prices should be about £75. Lets hope its reasonable, but then they know that demand will be so high they could probably go for £200 each and would still sell out.

    Confess I had to have a quick google for "dark blue" city shirts and that one came up. Wife actually has little to no interest in football and never attended a game until I took her to see Wimbledon v Liverpool back in about 95'. Even now she just tuts when i say im watching football...usual...

    What you trying to say there? You think she not pretty enough to be my wife? And think that hat was knitted after she saw the City "year of the rabbit" limited shirt

    Thanks...and found them in the kitchen cupboard ...where the wife always bungs all paperwork left on the kitchen counter....It certainly wasnt me that put them there. Looking forward to it as I have to admit that this will be my first concert since I moved over here 25yrs ago. Spoilt for choice...

    Cheers Eamon, I am delighted in the fact that it actually created a debate. I did love the whole back and forth and strong virews held by everyone in relation to Rob's "grenade" a few weeks back. I didn't necessarily expect that this week, but have enjoyed the differing views. As that whats life...

    Have to say that I have enjoyed the widely different opinions on this one. Something that harks back to the diverse views for RH/OKComputer.The common thread being that they are both bands that are held in such high esteem by their fans. To get views such as those of @BimboBob are for me what...

    The comments made did make me start to think what offering would have to be put forward for me to score a 0 or 1. Having virtually no musical ability I would have to score something positively simply for the ability to play an instrument or hold any sort of note/tune. perhaps if it was an album...

    I am often amazed at the ability of those who frequent this thread to write so wonderfully. To partake of a group listening and spend the time putting their thoughts down to share with others. In a busy world, the time and effort put in by your good self and the likes of @FogBlueInSanFran ...
