I was a huge New Order fan back in the day, although these days I’m a bit more choosy which tracks to play because I honestly got a bit tired of the bass, as conflicted as that may sound.
But! 586 was always my favourite track. But there’s a better version?!? I must seek this out!
Literally, “The one that got away” would be The Gun Club, back in the mid-80’s. Had tickets but couldnt get out of bed due to some ailment or other, I can’t recall what now. Bless ya, Jeffrey-Lee.
Bands at their peak that I should have seen? Pixies, probably. I did see The Breeders, though. A-OOOO-OO!
His 20 minute (but seems like an hour, in a good way) part in JFK is one of my favourite pieces of film, ever. Grips you from the start and sends a chill down your spine by the end of it.
I’m seeing The Skids (whom without the sadly-departed Stuart Adamson, seems a bit like seeing the Pistols without Steve Jones, I suppose) in Nov and SoD are supporting.
I never really got them back in the day but I recall they were one of those bands who had quite a hardcore, cult following, so it might be amusing to see some of those people 35-40 years on.
For about the 112th time, I watched The Usual Suspects last night.
Why should you watch it? I doubt there are many on here who haven’t seen it anyway, but here goes - the amount of time you spend afterwards trying to figure it all out - what was true, what wasn’t, who was real, who wasnt?
Disarm by Smashing Pumpkins atm. A decent enough song to be stuck with for a bit but it’s only in my mind because I read (um, only recently, 30-odd years later) it’s about his bully father knocking him about when he was a kid.
“Mother cries to her husband Daddy, our baby’s gone”
Gets me every time. I tried to play it for a bit of a joke when my daughter went to University but I had to turn it off before those two lines came along.
Another vote for The Killers. Got given a copy of Hot Fuss years ago and they sounded like some Dr Mengele experiment of all the Worst bits of The Cure, New Order (and I do like those two, generally) and Gary Numan. Mr Cntside has me running for the door whenever I hear it. Oh, four more? U2 Coldplay Queen INXS (included because a mate loved them so I got dragged to a few of their gigs in the 90’s and they were as dull as dishwater every time. In the end I had to tell him, sorry, but they’re sh1te.)
He was about as useful for us as his old man was for Tottenham. A Spurs fan I knew back then absolutely hated him. Scored against us at LR, though, natch.
Another lovely Dozzell family/QPR fun fact (IIRC, allegedly, etc), didn’t his Uncle get his collar felt in the “Battle of Portman Road”?
Regarding Masterson, then a Cambridge mate would moan about him to me every bloody week. You know what it’s like - they blame you. I think I was more pleased when he left there than he was.
