šŸŽµ What are you listening to etc

ā€˜discovered’ Nick Parker supporting, Ben Marwood at The Joiners a few years back.

He’s a support musician from Glastonbury that releases his own stuff from time to time and I love him.

@Rallyboy, once of this parish, RIP is also partial as Nick plays with a couple of bands that the RaleighBoy ā€˜knows’ ā€˜knows’
as in personally knows like - Carter USM and Ferocious Dog.

Whenever I listen to Nick Parker’s stuff I’m struck by just how much talent goes under the radar in our country.

And for that reason I’m going to spam this thread for a while.

Lyrically wonderful. Love the way it builds.

That really was my thing. Saw them live in 1990. A lot of fun, but a band to be whipped up for special occasions.

I also absolutely fucking nail this song on karaoke.

The debut album was brilliant. I still love it. I can’t decide if they’re still for me anymore.

Have a read of this, and marvel at what Hollywood has done to the Modfather. What a pile of steaming, pretentious shite, and from Weller of all people. :unamused: :rage:

Definitely in my top 53 all time best songs.

Then again, what about Gangsters?

Top 53 or outside? Tough one.

Hearing Gangsters for the first time, on John Peel, was something of a revelation. The subsequent album remains one of my all time favourites.

Just came across this after looking for a ā€˜Chain’ song… not seen this one before, but always like Arlo’s humour and his picking rhythm is so solid…
