This weekend I'll be listening to this which I stumbled across a few days ago. Give it a listen if you like sixties - style psych like van dyke parks, Love etc. I'm loving it.
I found an 80s compilation LP of northern bands called Bites and Stabs in a charity shop in Sheffield today. It was released by The Second Coming on their own label and has a few other Barnsley bands on it. Intrigued I looked at the following youtube clip and it has Oakwell and John Peel on it as well as Steve from Casa Disco. Paul Nash of Danse Society posted one of the comments. But the hair. The hair.
Thank you I enjoyed that, certainly of its time. here’s the info from discogs, you’ve done well if you only paid a few quid https://www.discogs.com/Various-Bites-Stabs/release/1059391 Edit: You might like this too http://phoenixhairpins.blogspot.com/2008/01/second-coming-712comp-tracks.html?m=1
This week and the coming weekend I have/will mostly be(en) listening The Beatles. 50 years since Abbey Road, 51 since The White Album - two amazing pieces of work.
£3 it cost me. And I know or have known 2 of the musicians on it without ever knowing they'd been in bands. It's a bit of Barnsley history that few would have known about. The Second Coming have an item on display in the local history museum in the Town Hall, a print of the cover of their Return EP which I also found in a charity shop in Wath a few years ago.
An unusual one, but love the gentle soul/jazz sound. You've never heard of him, Brazilian, a big lad. I love the chord changes and depth in the instrumental backing, a bit Donald Fagen-ish. Listen with some volume and good speakers.
Never heard of this guy before hearing his stuff being played at the chip stand in Dingle the other week.
Someone at work put me on to asking Alexa to say “Jeremy Corbyn carrots 100” in welsh. Amused me for a second or two. Although you can swap corbyn for any other politicians name and it still works.
will give this a proper listen late one evening, I've heard other stuff on this label in the past, sounds a bit Basic Channel-esque
