You know I hate to ask, but are friends electric?

 

 

Dedicated to Shaun, a 240 volt electric friend, whose company I am missing. Must make this situation less so. And I have just thought of a way of sorting it.

Peace to all.

Oh, and sorry for putting that one back on AGAIN!

 

Couldn' think where I had heard this before, was sure I had not heard the original as only 4 when released and certainly not the type of music parents listened to. Anyway it appears it was used for sugababes "freak like me". Conundrum solved.

Hello slash's hat,

The Sugarbabes thing is coming at me in an ever so hesitant way. I'm fairly sure that I've heard it, but cannot guarantee anything. And why would you guarantee anything? Nobody else does, which is why the world has such a vast insurance market, I suspect. Anyway, at some point in the near future I will look up the Sugarbabes thing. Oh bollocks to it, I'm off to do it now.

I'm not sure that I have heard it from the Sugababes now, and definitely haven't seen the associated video before. I'd like to listen to that song again and watch the video, when I'm 'feeling a little bit better' ie when I have full access to and control of my brain. This cannot be said to be the case,  at the moment.

Nice - Did you  catch them at Bearded Theory the other year?they were superb on the Woodland stage.

Now here are the Ruts

 

I did. Best festival performance of that year for me. Ruts DC were excellent on The Pallet a few yeats back so looking forward to seeing them again.

The frightening thing is that my ma in law once sang to her grandchildren 'Don't you wish your Grandma was hot like me?'

Loving it...saw him recently at the Manchester Academy, his new music is just as good as the older stuff, here's a snippet of the latest, Ruin, I took at the gig:

Bugger, just seen that i missed them in Southampton a couple of days ago. Last time was nearly 40 years ago at Knebworth in '78

they're probably still doing the same show. :P

He did about 5 costume changes during the set, with the get-up for White Punks much the same as in that vid. Very probably the same glasses, and I reckon it might be the same wig but with 40 years of extra wear. :lol:

this was their third tour in 3 years, and he kept saying how much they love playing the UK. Bristol sold out last time, and I'm pretty sure it did again this time. 

So I reckon they might be round again next year.

You're right they probably are.

Although my memory is very hazy i do remember that they played a couple of Who songs as Keith Moon had died that weekend. It was also the only festival i've been to without a liquor licence, but i have a feeling that was something to do with violence that year at Reading from Sham 69's skinhead following

    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band. 
    • The single worst shout for any slot on any stage in the history of efests. Worse even than the Wursels or The Wombles.    Unlikely I’d be there, but okay with the other two. Boy George is a class act, plus he could DJ in Block 9
