it can't die yet

the The - This is the day (randomly used on a M&Ms commercial in the US at the moment, which made me think of it)
also
the The - Beat(en) Generation
and
the The - Heartland - always makes me think of Sheffield, although I'm not sure why.

[grumpycrumpy]

The Heartland ..... What a song ..... Encapsulates the way this country was torn apart in the eighties in just over three minutes ...... Fucking AWESOME ......

[Moo]

straight from the depths of room 101

London Boys----London Nights




and Carly oh Carly why can't you dance  Carly Simon ----why does your love hurt so much

[Jaspersharpe]

London Boys!   

Grimer's quiz reminded me of William Orbit in one of his many guises and this...........



Maybe it should go on the cheesy dance thread.  It's quality nonetheless.

And how did I forget.......

[SA Chris]

I had to listen to Gomez "Rythmn and Blues Alibi" twice in a row yesterday, forgot how good it is. Singing at the top of my voice on the way back from a surf.

[Dr T]

don't think this one's come up yet.....
   

[Jaspersharpe]

Excellent choice.

[Dr T]

and



did I really dress like that... the shame, the shame 

[grumpycrumpy]

I dunno .... Which one are you ?

[Jaspersharpe]

The re-released version of Something Good, while not as good as the original, is still the best thing on Radio 1's playlist at the moment. Or perhaps I'm just old. 

[Dr T]

not a pop single as such but certainly one of the finest ever moments in pop



and yes I am turning 30 this year so yes I am on a early 90's nostalgia binge

essential festival can't remember which year - carter, skunk anansie, PWEI, Reef but to name a few... good times...

[grumpycrumpy]

So refreshing to see Schofield get a kicking ....Have a wad for finding such a great piece of footage ....

[Dr T]

just found this tucked away in my CD collection - cardboard sleeve- easily lost

 

[Zods Beard]

The camp eeh! noise he makes when he's taken down is class.

[Jaspersharpe]

I don't know what Jimmy Eat World are classified as. Emo? Rock (they're headlining the Download festival)? But I don't really care as I think they're fucking great and that this.............




(which I seem to be having problems embedding)



.............is one of the best pop records of 2008. Love it. 

[Dr T]

has this been posted yet.....

 

[Jaspersharpe]

James are back and this is brilliant:

[Duma]

is/was this pop?

the bomb in the baby carriage was wired to the radio...

[Jaspersharpe]

Resurrecting this cos there's loads of good stuff about at the moment and I don't know where else to rant about it.

Firstly, Suede are back and this...



...and this...



..are both amazing.

Also, I didn't get Foals at all until this latest album...which I love:



And this is just fantastic:

[SA Chris]

Ace, new Foals.

I really like Total Life Forever, I think Spanish Sahara is an excellent tune. Maybe give it a closer listen? In spite of the hype(or maybe because of) wasn't mad about first album, a bit too frenetic.

[Jaspersharpe]

Think that Cassius tune (and all the hype) put me off. The new album is rather different! I will revisit though......

[underground]

Came home from work, took off suit jacket, cuddled wife and kids, took the lid off a cold one, and felt compelled to stick this banger on loud. Every bit as great as I had hoped:

BANGER
