Eurythmics?

I'm not the biggest fan but seen this online just now:

Maybe headlining the West Holts? Or maybe on the Pyramid somewhere a bit earlier on?

Sweet dreams are made of piss.

Sweet dreams are made of piss.

I don't much care for Lennox on her own, but Dave Stewart and band make the records much edgier than the saccharine album versions. I think they'd be a good proposition and I don't believe they've ever played, though I have a vague recollection of standing in a muddy field seeing Stewart performing with someone else at a festival (perhaps Glastonbury) in the nineties. I think he had big headphones with aerials on.

Getting ahead of ourselves a bit arent we? Doing one song together at a televised tribute night. Big jump to headlining West Holts

by the time Eurythmics released Sweet Dreams they were already past their best.

The first album is great, the rest just commercial pap.

I quite liked 'Be Yourself Tonight' which was the last album of theirs I bought.

I last saw them on the Revival tour (that was 1989) so I may be in no position to say what they are like live in more recent times.

Here comes the pain again.

She could bring Bowie with her and do this!

God, you don't half like some drivel.

But as you like Bowie duets, have this one instead...

[CaledonianGonzo]

They could also bring Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin.

And, while we're being fanciful, Superheavy could open West Holts on the Friday.

[5co77ie]

I'd prefer SuperHeavy

Let's cut out the crap eh, and just have the talent. Damian.

I can't find the quote, but Dave Stewart revealing how the idea for fusing music of different genres suddenly appeared to him is one of the most inadvertently amusing pieces of hubris in recent rock history.

Superb.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's definitely true that his output - a hit single with an Ini Kamoze song, that album with Nas and being 4th wheel in SuperHeavy - marks him out as a premium talent.

Unlike doing Sticky Fingers and Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleed and that.

Next up you'll be claiming that Talking Heads were only a poor afrobeat band, which only gets to demonstrate the same lack of knowledge you're displaying with Damian.

But hey, I know a poor blues ripping-off band.

[CaledonianGonzo]

No matter how many times you big up his kids, Bob still won't be your bestie Neil :-P

Though "lack of knowledge" - nice.

[eFestivals]

Though "lack of knowledge" - nice.

If you think that all TH did was afrobeat and what you said above is Damian's output, you don't know shit.

The equivalent is to think the stones a poor-man's rip-off blues band.

Lack of knowledge? You say it, I'll call it.

[The Nal]

I saw that tour with Nas. Was alright. A bit loud mind you.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Glad to see flippant comments are getting met with the ad hominems that they deserve.

Though, to clarify, I don't think that all Talking Heads did was afrobeat. From memory - and really, it was months and months ago so I'm not sure why you're bringing it up now - I think I said that Remain In Light had secondhand afrobeat riffs on it. I stand by that. I think the expanded edition even has an outtake on it called Fela's Riff, ffs.

Good job you changed things so you couldn't think yourself as stupid.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I must be stupid as I can't make head nor tail of that.

Anyway - I haven't actually heard Super Heavy, so that album might well be the moment where Joss Stone reveals herself as the true talent in the ranks.

what you said just above is nothing like what you posted that I'm referring to.

Still, i'm happy for you that you think the stones a shit blues band.
