Media drawn to sociopaths unfortunately. They couldn't get enough of Boris before every realised what a dick he was. No strong critical voices out there. All far too deferential.

Eddie Vedder Tribute - The Cluny

Beg to differ. What is this if not shite? thecluny.com/listing/eddi.... Seriously look at the venue listings. Endless tribute dross. What once was a fairly decent venue is turning into a stream of tributes.

Just too many tribute acts around. Maybe fun once in a while but they seem to have flooded listings in recent years. Not saving live music in the long run but slowly killing it with middle-aged nostalgia.

Go see them live. Have loved them for years. They sound like no one else.

While alcohol can be problematic, there are also good things that come along with it. Time perhaps to stop generalising age groups and issues that can affect all of us regardless of age.

Pedant alert. Do the earlier mini albums count? Both have seven tracks. When does an EP become an LP?

I would argue that they are not shoegaze but then again I need to get out more often.

Out of interest. Tapes of this age. Do they hold up to repeated playing? I still have a few but am reluctant to stick them on in case they chew...

Savage Pencil cover. Taped off a friend and finally bought a copy from a record fair in Hartlepool. Set me off on a path...

Google reviews are redundant. Either "best meal ever" or "shit one star". Every business ends up with a four star rating...

In an ideal scenario yes. But trust me, thinking on your feet is sometimes the only option in a difficult situation when someone is in distress. Technology to help has improved but can't be there all the time.

They have obviously never been a nurse on a home visit. Or any professional faced with an unexpected challenge in a strange environment. I could go on. The question is, are exams the best way to prepare people. Possibly not.

You are right. Definitely an odd version. Whatever, her voice is just magical.

Prefer the Lee Perry mix...https://youtu.be/sYA2FLFFl00?si=3OxXqJUQiWU-mYIl
Great vocal regardless.

More nuanced than that. Some bad things but some very good things too but in this age of reactionary opinions we only discuss and get het up about the bad things.

Confused now. IMDB and my memory match with it starting in 89 and running to 91.... Regardless a great show.

Ah ok. Some great shows in the early 90s.... Also at the same time and perhaps a little earlier there was rapido. Some magazine format but with Antoine de caunes. Well worth investigating for that era.

Pedant alert. Sure it ran into early 90s...
