Went to an open air concert in Nyon - first on were Echo & the Bunnymen, then Joe Jackson - with Ten Years Later headlining. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!

Agree on the support bands thing although my gig-going days are over it's too loud and other people are generally quite annoying.

"dig a little deeper" always reminds me of this, [Link] an emotion I find myself agreeing with often these days ;)

There's lots of good music being made today. You just have to dig a little deeper to find it. I recently saw Dateline (NZ) on their first UK headline tour. I discovered them supporting The Beths (also NZ). Their support band Goo (indie/punk/noise band from Keighley) were very good too. I'm off to see The Klittens (Dutch post-punk) in a couple of weeks. Their new album is fantastic. Lottery Winners are my current favourite British band. I discovered them supporting Sleeper and have seen them play a few tiny venues. They've gone on to have 2 UK number 1 albums. They're currently on tour with Robbie Williams (not my cup of tea) playing huge stadiums in South America.

Band Of Horses are touring the UK at the moment and I really love their stuff except for one particular album which was rubbish.

Trigg - I went to see War on Drugs this summer, they were superb - sadly it was a relatively short set because they were only subheadlining, I could have done with another hour of them…

The War On Drugs' lead singer admits heavy influence from Dylan - and you can tell as he's almost crossing the line into impersonation at times but I like some of their more energetic tracks, good for driving. And for one closer to home the Datassete remix of The Other Side by Public Service Broadcasting is a good one [Link]

Anyhoo, a day off so I'm going to catch up with Sam and Ade Go Birding. I know little about birds but I love that programme.

Meadow-agree

CW, both great songwriters but I don't like their vocals. Cover versions every time.

Hash reckon you are wrong about that, still discovering music today that makes me want to buy their albums. The Pistols were the band that musically switched me on, as a nipper in school aged 12. His lordship are a decent addition to my buy their stuff in recent year. My girl is seeing them for the third time at the 100 club next month. [Link]

Those 4 are fab even if Dylan and Cohen can barely sing

15-30. Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, ELO and late Yes. Plus the advent of electronic stuff, punk and new wave. Downside was Stock, Aitken and Waterman.

For me, the four musical pillars around which everything else is built are Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Leonard Cohen and Bruce Springsteen.

The best music is the music you listened to from 15 to 30 or so. There might be the occasional nugget that is decent in your 30s but anything after that is shit.

Ride on Time links to my earliest memories of Plough Lane with the lads at the back of the stand shouting along to it before kick off one weekday evening. I loved that old ground.

As decreed by Alexei Sayle you need to stop liking contemporary music when you’re exactly thirty seven and a half.

Chiggers, on the penalty situation mentioned at the start of the show on WHAD, good episode too. I reckon I'd be in for life, its cheaper than a divorce....

Oops, forgot the link… [Link]

Trigg - very good, but this live QOTSA performance was special, and possibly better than the original studio version (I’m 68, and still listen to this kind of stuff as well as my old musical loves like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Nick Drake, John Martyn, Santana, and loads of newer people such as Idles and Fontaines DC, Ezra Collective, Four Tet, plus many more…).

Morning all. A mashup featuring Disturbed - [Link]

🚨New episode available now🚨 Danny Baker & Lee Finch 🔵Plymouth 🟡Investment Chat 🔵Wednesday and Mansfield preview [Link] Like, listen and let us know what you think.

The Disturbed version of Sounds of Silence is superb

Jamie T is a legend musically and for being a Don - won’t have a bad word said about him!

Not a great fan of Queens of the Stone Age but I'm 64. I love Muse, the Foo Fighters, Disturbed and the recent incarnation of Linkin Park.
