Going back to great 80s tunes, anyone remember this one or am I seriously giving my age away?




or this one? :

amazing, thanks for that Konijn, one of my all time favourite songs

(seem to be saying that a lot on this thread )

Of which both were made in 1979

No way! hahaha

rofl

definitely showing my age then........

Although, they reckon that musical decades don't necessarily begin at the beginning of the actual decade.

e.g. the 50s ended in 1962; the 60s began in 1963 etc.

Although if I was to use the same theory, I'd say the 80s began in 1982, so either way I'm wrong.

Remember this one?




It's 1981. (double-checked this time....)

My personal favourite from last nights set (plus of all of them, the one I was most crapping myself about playing, hence why it's only in brackets on the setlist )

A suggestion for your next one mate...



The locals would love this!!

Man I love the Wurzels It's impossible to live in Devon and not be infected by them

If I was going to do a cover though, it'd be "I Am A Cider Drinker" (to the tune of Una Paloma Blanca)

This is the Young Knives song I was trying to find last week or so, I really like it

here's my offering of the day

Tiny Dancers - 20 to 9

sorry can't just stick to one today

Stephen Fretwell - What's that you say little girl

It was a tough choice between this song, Run and Emily

Recommended to me by a friend last night, looked them up today and they're as good as I was led to believe - originally released in 1980, not that I remember them from then..? (edit - apologies for the video quality, it really is about the best youtube has to offer for these guys...)

Young Marble Giants - Brand New Life

Also had this recommended to me by the same person, was standing there listening to the ipod in the Rossi bar, when not falling asleep!!

Quality Devon two piece all girl singer songwriter duo, one plays 6 string guitar, the other plays 12 string, awesome sound imo.

Worrydolls - Second Chance



...do I try to find my place, or has it faded from you...?

Bet you never thought this would make it as song of the day!! (Couldn't wait for Mother's Day, apologies if it's been posted elsewhere!)

Not quite as in your face...one of the most beautiful performances of one of the most beautiful songs ever. The fact that it can be played on the harmonium is what stopped me playing this on guitar, because it can never come close.

A song for anyone who has screwed up and needs to make an unreserved apology.

Beck - Nobody's Fault But My Own

This is the Master..!

If I could sing The Needle And The Damage Done, I'd play it every time...sadly, I'm some distance form being good enough...

Top tune. Good work

OK - am posting this as a challenge to myself. I've chickened out of playing it for the past two Wednesdays at Mantra, so putting it here means I now have no choice - including the falsetto

The Longpigs - On And On

wow, I'm not the only person around who remembers The Longpigs then?!

Around the time they brought their first album out I was working at a music magazine and they used to send me their demos. I've got tons of their cds - all free :P

Personally, I prefer the cd singles to the album. The sound and the energy is not the same.

Anyhow, thanks Terry

Not an easy one to sing this.... Good luck to you
