What are you listening to in 2024 and why might anyone be interested?


There were an excellent live band. One left to join The Sharks, one went to the States and the other 2 became part of Ian Dury and the Blockheads. I still have the drum stick they gave me for selling shed loads of Hit Me somewhere in the house.

I remember seeing Girlschool a number of times with Motorhead

They were marketed as the girls version of Motorhead.

Looks like you dodged a bullet there Pete! :rofl:

Matters Unknown - We Aren’t Just. New project from Jonny Ensor, brass player with Nubyian Twist. “boldly encompasses Afro-jazz, celestial blues, soulful funk, electronica, hip hop and more” says Bandcamp. Sounding good. Seeing them tonight in a tiny venue for £8 - couldn’t say no at that price.

Giving the LP12 a break and listening to Soma FM - Left Coast 70’s.

New album from Geordie Greep ( singer and guitarist with the recently split black midi). Utterly bonkers and utterly brilliant

Sorry - cannot read the text?

Gave Moon Music a play.
I like the Jon Hopkins influence as a big fan, but it’s a bit lost on me, just like everything since A Rush of Blood … and that was 22 years ago.

At least it prompted me to give this JH CD rip a play, which I really like.
