Quite liking this song by Gallery Circus at the minute. These guys currently reside in the Newcastle area with the video I've linked being filmed in the area, how many spots in the video can you recognise?

Freddie Mercury has the crowd eating out palm of his hand... wish i was born in the 80's to see them live!
Not a band I ever fancied seeing, however I did hear them once in the 80's.
Not sure where the gig was (SJP or GIS), but despite living a few miles away, the music was clearly audible.
Not sure noise pollution or db levels were measured as much then.
It was the same with the Rolling Stones and Tina Turner when they played on Tyneside.
Ed Sheeran recently returned from a long break away from making music, But he has returned with a few brilliant songs, My favourite is Castle on the Hill, Anyone else heard any of them yet?
Not my style of music normally but I cant stop listening to it at the minute!

I'd never heard it on the radio previously.
Radio X by any chance? As they have driven me the same way with that song. Mind they seem to loop absolutely everything to the point you can't bare listen to them ever again... EVER!!!
I have seemingly dropped into a wormhole back to 2007/2008 mostly recently listening to indie from around that time from the likes of the Maccabees and anything else Radio X won't touch anymore.
Listening to elvis live in Memphis on Lp vinyl, the best way to listen to music

You should all be listening to ABBA!

Nah, don't think I've listened to xfm/radio x since the relaunch.
Stations playing the same tunes on loop does my head in.

I've been listening to the britpop era Shine compilation albums in the car and it's great hearing bands like the Longpigs, Gene and Shed 7 again as well as all the britpop big hitters.

Forgot all about those albums. Got one or two kicking around somewhere. May need to dig them out!
Thanks for reminding me such a thing existed.
If you haven't already, try 'indie disco' on Absolute 90's if you get a chance. Every Saturday evening if listening live.

I'll give it a try. I'v been persisting with radio x but as previously discussed it does get a bit samey.

Radio Gallagher
Of course, I'm ill today, so as I have now watched the few bits I had in the Sky+ planner, I now have few alternatives. Really need to find something different that plays more of the indie stuff I like, mostly from about the last 10 years or do, mainly been using YouTube and my iPod but I keep getting the same few bits coming up each time.
I do like the stuff Radio X play, I just wish we could have a few different acts come up and in quite a few instances, just some different songs from their favourites would be nice.

I was listening to X-Ray by the mac's and Suzie by Boy Kill Boy.. I then realized both tunes are now coming up 12 (or 13) years old. I have a huge playlist of the music. I'm still happy to hear some of kaiser Chief's and Arctic Monkeys' turn up, especially "When the sun goes down" and "I predict a riot", but the music is underplayed. Radio 6 music used to be good for this type of stuff, but it broadcasts some pretty strange things in its place now.

This is a song I love, it's definitely worth a listen. I've not heard it on the radio or anywhere in the past 10 years outside of my spotify. The title gets its name from
the poor Brazilian fella that was murdered by the met office "by accident" in lieu of 7/7. A new level of meaning to the lyrics with that in mind.

Amazing.
Couldn't tell you what I had for tea last night, forgot the band even existed, but could more or less sing along to this to my hearts content on its first play.

The video captures the 90's so well too.
Will there ever be a decade, where fashions don't look so ridiculous just 20 odd years later?
I thought everyone looked great at the time.
Absolute 90's gets a bit samey during the week, but that few hours on a Saturday is just about right.

Never knew about the Jean Paul De Menezes link mind
He might be a tory, have a son who supports fox hunting, make dodgy music videos and have questionable dance-moves...
But he's Washington's most famous son (sorry Malarkey) and I do like his music.

I love his cover of "Jealous Guy" also. One of my favourites.

Can't beat a bit of Roxy. Same old Scene is my favourite, but Jealous Guy and Slave To Love aren't far away.
I can't get on Andreos' link atm, but there is a cracking old BBC concert on You Tube of him doing Solo/Roxy stuff.

More famous than George Clarke?
I do own up to s lot of Roxy Music in my collection. The discs are in my bloody good tune drawer.

Aye.
I reckon more people around the world have seen and heard Ferry - over a longer period of time, than they have Clarke.
However amazing Clarke's spaces are.
Still stuck in my 80's timewarp and still listening to local contributions to the Top 40.
This time it is the Kane Gang.
Several of their videos were shot locally and one tune provided the inspiration for the theme tune for a long-running TV show based in the region!
25 #NEBpoints for the person who can identify the song from the examples below and name the TV show.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q_qTPj-pDmQ (how they managed to get a days filming at the town moor without it raining is anyones guess...)
Keep your eyes peeled for my next locally based 80's (maybe early 90's) tunesters.
Undecided whether to choose Ant & Dec, Jimmy Nail or Prefab Sprout.
