Essential, by Hot Chocolate. Because it has “Put You Together Again” on it.

Youtube has sent me on a long Pomplamoose dive

Ooh. Shiny.

(Though one of my small irks is that when people do one ELO song, whether that’s to cover or to play in the background of something, it’s always Mr. Blue Sky, when Here Is The News is just so much more fun.)

Not similar in style, but similar in video production:

That reminded me of the Knight Rider theme, for some reason.

I loaned my copy of word gets around to a girl in high school. She got it signed by them at a festival. Kept it and never replaced it.

I’m not bitter, honest.

The things we do for girls eh?

Tbh, I don’t think they’ve been the same since Stuart left. I love the raw energy of the first two albums. I saw the Performance and Cocktails tour in Newcastle and they tore the roof off.

Yeah saw them at the barras on that tour and they were great. I always felt like Kelly Made a conscious decision to change his song writing from being so biographical.

At least the manics still churn them out for Wales pretty reliably.

I’ve never been a Manics fan, although that was probably teenage boy idiotic pushback against the crowd! I did see them supporting Oasis at Kenworth.

However, my wife tests James Dean Bradford’s kids’ eyes. Small world Wales!!

I saw the Manics at the Millennium Party at the Principality Stadium. Was a great party.

Although my best mate did get off with the girl I’d fancied for years…

A Year of Wreckage was a year-long music project that ran from 1st May 2019 - 1st April 2020, with new material being released monthly.

The result is an archive of primordial 65 sound palettes, a catalogue of (computer) errors and guitar glitches, drone ambience and breakcore math insanity, bleak strategies and escape tunnels.

Utopian Frequencies is one of two albums that compile music from that year.

I’m doing it…

Fabulous show, wasn’t it? I was lucky enough to see them shortly before they called it a day and was delighted to hear about this one-off reunion. Worked very well for a streaming gig with no local audience for them.

We saw them in Cardiff on the final tour. Dancing on the sofa was a bit strange but it’s impossible to keep still!
