They didn't win the Mercury Prize last night but had the performance of the night IMHO

Comedy gold.

Best comment is someone saying Yokos voice was the blueprint for the dial up modem

Chuck Berrys facials are outstanding too

[Tim]

Great song, and Tom Scott and his band backing her up:

I saw that for the first time recently.

Weird but compelling 70s flick

[broughie]

@MN5 why would he play down to that level?

I think ( directly quoting one of the comments ) that when John Lennon got to jam with his hero Chuck Berry it was on the condition that his talentless, narcissistic wife got to join in too.

Love really is blind…..and clearly really deaf too.

Chucks facials are brilliant aren’t they ?

[broughie]

@MN5 I know. It was classic. Maybe Lennon himself was narcissistic or a pussy, probably the later, in expecting his child hero to have to listen to that indescribable noise.

I am so old:

Felt like listening to some classic soft rock so put on REO Speedwagon radio on Spotify. Came up with this little pearler:

[dogmeat]

@broughie Lennon was definitely narcissistic. Bed in for Peace anyone?

For all the stereotyping of Lennon as the rocker with a social conscience and McArtney as the pappy popster, Lennon produced the most self-indulgent 'art' plus some of the twee-ist bs pop shit ever - Imagine, Happy Christmas etc

@Tim Going to the When the Cats Away tribute to Margaret Urlich in a fortnight. Hope / expect to see O'Neill guest.

It was cool to see one of their songs from the previous album appear on Justified: City Primeval. This is from the most recent album. The video has a Tarantino vibe.

[MN5]

They’ve still got it at an age where lots of bands become pisstakes of themselves…..

This is good shit

[Kruse]

@Bovidae I've had Rival Sons on my playlist for quite some time now, but for some reason always thought they were Scandinavian, or some such, with english as a second language.
I must have mixed them up with somebody else.
But songs like "Electric Man" - with lyrics such as "oh hot lady hot lady, ... gonna drive you like a cadillac, ... gonna take you to the sugar shack, ... coz I'm electric, I'm the electric man, oh yes I am"... and I'm sure some other nonsense thrown in... always re-affirmed to me that they were non-native english speakers just plucking random rock cliche words and throwing them together.
Great fun, but a parody of generic rock.
But - I still chose, and continue to choose, to focus on the "great fun".

I've just now discovered that I seem to have accidentally deleted all their shit when I did a full "refresh" of the music on my phone... so now downloading their back catalogue to throw back in the mix.
