Jacksgranda Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 This show was axed a couple of weeks ago - MUSSES BUNFIELD wouldn't be in it. https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/sean-coyle-i-was-hurt-and-upset-by-axing-of-my-radio-ulster-show-but-i-have-no-animosity-towards-the-bbc-38439120.html I've tried listening to the standins/replacements but 5 minutes is about all I can last. Listen to Radio 3 or 4 instead (until a programme comes on that I like.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he says modern music is rubbish and I agree, even though I listen to BBC 6 most days. We’ll have to define ‘modern music’ and where the cut-off point on the calendar is for an artist to qualify as being modern. This will be highly subjective, but I think it’s safe to say that the likes of Led Zeppelin, The Who and so on are ‘old(er) school’, then some bands / artists I love who are definitely younger, still actively recording, and I would argue are therefore ‘modern’, include - Silversun Pickups, Wolf Alice, Kingswood, Gang of Youths, The Preatures, Will Hoge, Matt Nathanson, The Struts.... could go on all day, and that’s before I get to the ‘country / Americana’ bands I increasingly find myself liking - Zac Brown Band, A Thousand Horses, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Sean McConnell, Little Big Town, Sugarland.... I would strongly disagree that modern music is rubbish. What is it anyway? How do you define it? K-Pop? Rap? Stuff like Stormzy? Ariane Grande? Where would great rock bands like Foo Fighters, Alter Bridge, Stone Sour and Shinedown fit into the timeline? Are they old school? Modern? The Charlatans? Brilliant band, and still active, still relevant. Beats me, that’s for sure. Good music is good music, whatever floats your boat. If a kid thinks a K-Pop band is the best band ever, then they are for them, and that’s all that matters.... he says, in a ‘birthday caird’ pish for this’ style.

Forest_Fifer Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Yes, I died a couple of years ago. The last two seasons are an illusion.Well, you hope the last two seasons have been an illusion anyway. Last season definitely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently heard that three of my elder cousins have problems, one probably fatal, so time to do the obvious thing. I doubt it has anything to do with you lying face down on the ground but you might want to get your prostate gland checked while he has finger up there! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Do any of these bands/people actually exist?It takes me back to the seventies when I would read NME in the hopes people would think I was some kind of musically aware type person. No fucking clue who any of the bands were. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Fucking Waukegan public works can’t keep their wastewater pies working so there was well over a foot of water in my basement this morning (along with some huge floods in the roads that I’ll refer to on the CCoM thread) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) I used to buy ‘Sounds’ back in the day. By ‘back in the day’, for me, that means 1977 - 1987. My ‘prime years’ for seeing bands at the Glasgow Apollo, and wearing a green combat jacket festooned with sewn-on patches of heavy rock bands. Sometimes I think ‘those were the days’, then sometimes I think it was a different lifetime, I wasn’t actually there. It just seems so long, long ago. Life is strange.
