As the covid vaccines are so new and we have the consequent limited experience of them I feel it is better to take the cautious approach regarding post inoculation transmission. Time and more study data will advise us accordingly soon. OK, I may be biased as my youngest has a compromised immune syst...

Hair was so 80's. The. End.

"It's A Sin" on Channel 4 / All4. A vivid , but timely, reminder of how 80's Britain was a different place.

One Nation Under A Groove - Funkadelic

Hard To Handle - Otis Redding / Black Crowes

Just Like Heaven - The Cure / Dinosaur Jr.

Looks like Ruffers has started something....

I noticed that, looks like Von got a bit bored by it and stomped off too. Cheeky remark to open Train too.

Good God, someone's wearing @Elamanamou's 'nasty' cap in the centre of the screen

I meant me, and was musing Gift is quite a difficult listen for an outsider to the scene, when compared to the hit (in more than one way) laden Floodland.

Aha, a bit asking 'Do you like my Etchings?' and putting Stop The World on the stereo

Rain From Heaven has a groove that is missing from most of Gift. I always wondered what might have happened to the track if Steinman had been let loose on it.

I'd posit his main (possibly only) contribution to music was to add so many layers to it so it sounded completely different to anything else on jukeboxes & AM radios in the 60's.

The Jim Steinman of his day then?

'90s Eldritch cringe.

He was a headline whore back in the WEA days. Semi-retirement has calmed him down since then.

Total Mass Retain - Yes

It'll be more likely to be faggots used as the lure in the Midlands. Pies are way too northern for the gravy slurping Fat Sam.

Games Without Frontiers - Peter Gabriel

Robert Fripp here too btw

Cemetary In My Mind - Midnight Oil

The thought of Von "knocking one out" has put me right off my socially distanced snow ball fight.

How do you do a rolling round in the floor pissing myself emoji

To be fair Gift never pulled the birds in the same way as Floodland did.

So now we know, it was all done as a favour to attract feathered snacks for Spiggy.

Get well soon.

The regularly over-flowing toilets were the scariest thing about the Phono in '82/3 :lol:. In those days you never joined a taxi queue you just walked back up the hill to the wasteland around the Uni, usually via Tony's caf. The Warehouse of a weekend was much more upmarket with a fair few new-roman...
