I seriously don't understand people who just universally write off entire genres of music. There's good and bad in every genre. I'd get damn bored of music if I listened to one type, and even more so if all I could enjoy was the same stuff that was on the radio several decades ago!

Oooh Kraftwerk Live!! Never managed that but have the DVD's :D I have seen Depeche mode 6 times before they got mega huge (1st time was when 'New Life' was Number 1!) and met them also. I have seen Numan about 23 times i think!! Sad eh! :lol: Saw OMD recently with the original band members, That was great!

Please say that you also like and heard of Tangerine Dream. That would make my day knowing there is a fellow TD fan in here.

Sorry for going off topic here, only because I listened to a couple of TD CDs this morning instead of the radio. I'm gonna have to "rip" my CD collection onto the PC and just use the player's shuffle mode. :D
 
Spent last night listening to Ultravox, Visage and Simple Minds - all on VINYL whilst playing Scrabble and Connect 4 with the missus and getting through a bottle of red!!! Haven't had so much post-midnight laughter in the lounge for ages.:eek:

This morning, the radio came on at 7am as always and I just switched it off as soon as I heard the Grim voice. Got up at 9.10am and thought, who cares. Sauntered into the office at 10.30!!:D
 
Radio1 has to be the worst channel out there, there's no humour, I'm glad Chris Moyles left,maybe the beep will see how ***** it really is now.

Dave lee Travis was the man, Steve wright also

Ah that old chestnut. If it's so easy you should probably go ahead and do it yourself, after-all there's millions to be made from it if you're good ;)

You miss understand when I say it's not hard. It's nothing to do with how easy it is to make it. Club music is certainly not hardcore as the name would suggest. The name suggests music that the artists play hard, not hard to play.
Rock music covers many different styles, it's reinventing itself all the time, so you could never get bored with it, but Club music basically uses the same drum machine with remixed synths and the lyrics have less words than a two year old childs total vocabulary.
 
there is always Age UK with "The wireless" just played 10cc Dreadlock holiday.

http://www.ageuk.org.uk/the-wireless/

Available on line, or DAB in London and Yorkshire.

Headlined by David Hamilton and Graham Dene.

youve never been to a happy hardcore night in a club then?

the tat/radio edits that gets played on the radio are not really on the same wavelength (not that they play any hardcore on daytime radio, i guess early hours of saturday is the only time thinking about it)

Electronic music changes it's face as much as rock. Rock still uses guitars, drums, bass etc. They use the same old chord progressions with the same old effects but that doesn't mean that they just recycle same old same old in the same way that using similar instruments (both digital and analogue) in electronic music doesn't just recycle what's already been done.

You can really tell that you've never given anything other than what you know a chance by your statement about the lyrics.

No, I have absolutely no interest in it, because it is just a noise, one that thankfully I have the ability to just shut out so it doesn't really register.
Happy Hardcore Night, I can't begin to describe how %$7£ that sounds.:lol::lol:
 
I pretty much agree about happy hardcore - but i would note that ' its just noise' is how my dad described rock music - and probably how his dad described rock and roll and so on.

I do quite like some of the hybrid sounds like pendulum though

Just reading the summary, hard to argue with it, it is a word used to demonise a quite serious culture and social issue.

And how can they call Chris Evans a Chav? he has a collection of Ferrari's!!!!!
And I love the kids calling in, nothing more amusing than an unscripted kid :lol:

I also listen to lots of different music (currently on the playlist is green day to meatloaf to some piano concertos to heavy metal, jazz and pop).

But club music, its just an endless drone in my ears, tried oh how I have tried to listen to it but 10 minutes in from the same repetitive rhythms it just gets so aggressively on your nerves.

Would rather listen to the engine, did that once, after a while found it quite soothing :thinking: which on a later discussion with a doctor friend determined it could account to the ambient noise in the womb and similarity's.

But I'm side tracking,,,, carry on :)

Some of the best 'modern music' I've heard.:thumbs:

I get some funny looks when I tell teenagers that I'm 'into Pendulum'.:lol:

Shame they've apparently disbanded....:'(

Anyway, I think we can all agree to differ that there are a wide and eclectic mix of musical tastes out there. None of them are right or wrong.:thumbs:

Back on topic - The new (Grim) Radio 1 morning show is still pants.:gag:
 
I like the early Pendulum when it was good, hardcore drum & bass.

Way better.....and so are the new off-shoot of Pendulum, "Knife Party"......have a look on YouTube for their songs "Bonfire" and "Centepede"......basslines that'll give you a semi!! :lol:

R2 actually play a good selection of music from the 60's to the present. Not too much Eminem (who I like btw) and Tiny Temper(sp?) etc, but you should give it a chance. :)

You have highlighted the exact problem right there - I am not interested in music from the 60s to the present, that's 2 decades too old at the start there :lol:
I used to like a bit of Maconie and Radcliffe on the drive home, but they've gone now.

that doesnt mean much - my ringtone is the soundbite "its so fluffy" from despicable me - but that doesnt imply I want to lisen to that for long

Snap :lol:

As for Grimmy on R1 in a morning, i only listen to the radio as an alarm clock now, so both Moyles and Grimmy made me want to get out of bed ASAP to turn the bloody thing off

Oh yes, had some wicked nights out :thumbs:

The clubs play oldskool hardcore, which is much better

I was at oscars clacton, when Ratpack were spinning the 1s and 2s :thumbs:


As far as radio is concerned, I'm tuning into absolute radio for the breakfast show now :)
 
Next time you're at karaoke ask for 'darude - sandstorm' Jeremy vine makes me want to kill myself

I've got their Dream Sequence compilation which has stuff like Phaedra on it.. Was listening to it on my MP3 player this morning as well as the Cocteau twins.. (Though I do have Metallica and slayer on the same MP3 player)
 
Cocteau Twins, one of the best bands ever!

Have you heard Primitive Painters by Felt, she did backing vocals..

you sir have style,if you where listening to new gold bream,i travel and the first 3 ultravox albums.
 
this sums it up for me


You know I don't like dancin'
An' I don't like to bop
Too much movement's exertion
Makes me wish I could drop
Dro' dro' dro' dro' dro' dro' drop

An' I don't like french kissin'
Cos you swallow my tongue
And you think that you're oh so very old
You only want me 'cos you think I'm so young
Yo' yo' yo' yo' yo' yo' young

All right
Ok
No way

An' I wish I was sixteen again
Then things would be such fun
All the things I'd do would be the same
But they're much more fun
Than when you're twenty wo' wo' wo' wo' wo' one

All right
Ok
No way

An' I hate modern music
Disco boogie pop
They go on an' on an' on an' on an' on
How I wish they would stop
 
for my upcoming launch of my rock and roll photographic exhibition

i have recorded this dance song for the between groups music

along with jack white,nick cave,joy division,elvis,the gang of four,beatles, etc.

roadtested in my blues mobile at full volume with windows down,sun roof open.

As someone that loves electronic music, I could never get into Tangerine Dream. Just too boring. Though I do love Monolight.
 
I have a Tangerine Dream cd. It is boring! Rather have the ozrics although most of theirs sound the same. Vangelis is a better attempt at that kind of thing. Jean Michel Jarre even better.

Later Cocteau Twins I really like. Early stuff is an awful noise. Got all the This Mortal Coil and Dead Can Dance albums.

The best electronic band are Yello I think. Timeless.

Sorry to disappoint, it was Vienna, Rage in Eden & Sparkle in the rain - the latter being probably my favourite A-side of an LP. ;)

I do have a few John Fox vinyls if that counts though.....:naughty:
