Yes I deserve that

It'll be Jimmy Nail next.

People always seem to moan about Geordie La Forge being a shit character. He's probably the best one. That Bajoran paintballing backstory was deep.

I saw them on that tour back in the day. Dec ‘82 at the old Apollo. Where does the time go? Anyhoo, it was a great gig.

Love it.

I've been holding off on this one as I know I'll be mocked, but I have no real beef with Mrs. Brown's Boys. I've seen maybe three of four eps ever, and it just looks like a cast enjoying themselves laughing at shit jokes, and a crowd loving it. Where's the harm? Why do some people get so incensed? It's harmless fun for a lot of people.

Bose. Dropping my Quiet Comforts (this time) from an overhead height onto a concrete floor twice yesterday and still worked. They've been abused for around four years, charge rapidly, last for an age still, muffled crying babies and vacuum cleaners but above all sound fantastic.

Mrs Browns Boys is shit but that isnt really what bothers me about it. I'm more bothered that the BBC push it so heavily while some of their other content that is arguably better and certainly more original gets buried on iplayer.

Having something I dislike thrust in my face constantly increases my dislike for that thing, I dont think I am alone in this either. It's the same reason half the stuff ITT gets the shit it does. Coldplay are a great example.

Am so buying the MBB boxset for one of ye if I get you in ss this year :thumbsup:

It seems largely to rely on finding a middle aged man dressed as an elderly woman who swears to be the most hilarious thing ever. It's the sort of shit which was old hat in the 70's, so I have no idea how it is so popular now.

Its like Brexit innit.

I'm not disputing that it's popular. It's just a comedy show devoid of any comedy.

hahaha

Spent yesterday cranking the sting catalogue.

Memory is a funny thing.

Because fuck me, outside of shadows in the rain, and title track, the gated reverb is right there on dream of the blue turtles.

Still second album I wasn't wrong, production is largely awful. There's something in particular about late 80s. Someone's probably written a thing about it. I assume it was the awkwardness around the change over to first gen digital recording and cd, but may have my timing wrong.

Can think of number of albums from first half of 90s that seemed like a big jump in clarity.

I mean, different genre, but the difference in quality from queensryche's best 3 albums is huge. Mindcrime is tinny shit, empire is better, and promised land sounds lush.

First recordings 87 I think, to 93. What changes in that time?

Anyhoo. Some belter sting tunes I'd forgotten, some others I'd forgotten how silly the lyrics were.

Peter Crouch and Owen Hargreaves.

Crouch was alright but just so awkward to watch.
His football suffered similarly.
