Steve S 60

Oops, duplicate post.

It's great to look at playlists from all the various decades to see how things have evolved to cater for changing tastes, new discoveries etc. It also serves as a historic record of the scene, so long may playlists continue to be posted.

Here's a trailer for the film....

Follow that up with Soft Cell's cover of What to really get the party started, just don't ask for the Marilyn Manson version of Tainted Love unless the bride is wearing black.

In a hurry the other day, I picked up a bag of four sausage rolls from Morrison's. Imagine my disappointment when I got home, only to discover they were spinach and ricotta rolls. Richard Searling has got a lot to answer for.

By sentencing these songs to the Top 500, I condemn them to a life of over exposure, overplaying and overpricing. Take them down.

The games industry is worth more than the film and music industry combined, however I would imagine the royalties aren't great. Most of the music used in games is specially written, so the likes of Rockstar which licences popular music is the exception rather than the rule. With hundreds of songs used in the latest GTA, I reckon between $5k and $10k per song, depending on the artist. A lot of older artists will probably just be happy to be featured as it puts their music in front of a new, and massive audience.

The last thing we want is another Top 500.

But you normally get some chat in between records. This was like he played a "Now That's What I Call Northern" CD all the way through then he quickly listed the artists at the end. If he hasn't got time to record a proper show he shouldn't bother. Let somebody else fill his slot.

Just tuned into the first hour of Richard Searling's show on Solar Radio, only to be greeted by a Top 500 mix tape.

RIP Bobby. Just A Little Bit Closer....

It's the biggest aspidistra in the world.

Listened to it last night after ripping it to iTunes. Premium price for a premium release.

The seller lists it as rare '60's. It would have been extremely rare in the sixties unless somebody travelled back in time from the seventies with a few copies.

Here's a Seamaster Quartz I bought in Gibraltar in 1982. Think I paid about £175.....

The Tempests - Ain't No Big Thing....(already mentioned).....

Well, it did cost less than a pint, however, a pint lasts longer than it takes to read this, and is more enjoyable.

Cheers, I'll give it a punt, and it was Michael Collins.

Snake Davis.

Release has been delayed by at least 2 weeks, according to Amazon.

The grass is always greener.....

I got the impression it was about the fledgling Northern Soul scene in Warsaw.

It took flight as soon as that picture was taken. There's at least two of them along the stretch of river where I walk the dog.

Took this on my phone this morning whilst walking the dog. It's a big bird.....

Lovers Concerto is based on Minuet in G Major, from Bach circa 1725.
