[Davalon]

Just been on with Calvin Harris, following Rag n Bone Man.

 

[DifferentClass]

Meanwhile the top pigs are at the Record Mirror Awards.

 

[ThatJa]

I'm not following the joke?

Record Mirror. Takes me back about 40 years. There was a time in my young life when Record Mirror day (Thursday?) was the only day of the week that really mattered.

Memries.

Nme for me although I did used to sneak a look at smash hits if it was about to learn the words

Yeah. I moved on to NME, via Melody Maker. Can’t remember why it was Record Mirror first. I guess there may not have been a proper reason!

Fuck, I can smell the print-ink on my fingers now, just thinking about it

Nice euphemism for "spaffing off over pictures of Bananarama" there

I thought they were wet wet wet

NME was unmissable for me if I didn’t get my weekly fix I had a strop on.

Same with Green Un, pre-internet there was no other way of checking out goalscorers,league tables etc

I think we all had to read that twice.

Your sentence, not NME.

 

[ucandomagic]

“sounds” was what cool people read!

We called it spunos - because that’s what it said upside down!

Reading spunos and buying your City Hall tickets from Virgin Records at the end of The Moor - and falling off your shoes.

If Carlsberg did ...

 

[TJB.]

A performance from Florence & The Madine?

Rage Against The Madine?

Madine Head?

I'll get mi coit.

Me neither, who the fuck is rag and bone man, new Wendy physio?

Posh bastard, I had to make do with The Belle Stars.

Check Sam Smith out. Striking resemblance imho. And I'm not talking sexuality before anyone misunderstands what I'm getting at.

That old chestnut .......


Oh, and who are all those people?

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

What a great thread this has been.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Posh bastard, I had to make do with The Belle Stars.

The Slits did the job for me.
Ok they were total mingers, but I very much enjoyed that album cover where the three of them were topless and covered in mud.

 

[Billyblade]

We had company at our house last night.
Mrs BB's mate had her 9 year old with her who was watching the Brits.
I found myself repeatedly asking her "who's that?" and wondered when I had turned into my Dad

Did you find yourself only asking who the fit birds were?

City Hall tickets from Wilson Peck young man!

Don't need to know their names

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Don't need to know their names

But how are you going to Google image search them later on?

 

[Billyblade]

But how are you going to Google image search them later on?

Listen, if I'd asked her their names to enable me to google image search later, I would have had to write them down. The memory has had the shit Stella'd out of it. Don't think Mrs BB would have taken too kindly to me sitting there with a pen and notepad saying "How do you spell Dua?"

My internet stalking skills are good enough to research afterwards (googling "fit bitches at 2019 Brits" or summat). By 9.30 this morning I will know where most of them live and by 1.30 this aft several restraining orders will be in place.

Putting the come into best British newcomer.

1, Did you read the part about restraining orders?
2. Don't really fancy Tom Walker (as well as not having a fucking clue who he is)

This album was a hand shandy production line back in the 80's

We're all our dad inside
We just have to hang on to our old musical favourites whilst the new-fangled stuff passes by.
Then without us being aware of it happening, we suddenly don't recognise any celebrity on any programme at all or have any idea who sings what

 

[diode_blade]

We should host "The Billy Sharp Fat Lad awards..."
