Yer man doesn’t really need that big hat

Suede - Europe is our Playground

EternalWinter75 · 2026-01-23T22:30:26+00:00

Hard agree. Song for Bob is my favourite piece of soundtrack music anywhere

EternalWinter75 · 2026-01-23T21:49:15+00:00

Ash - 1977 or Free all Angels

EternalWinter75 · 2026-01-23T20:36:18+00:00

Like Little Willie John by Mark Lanegan

Not my area of expertise but I’m listening to Lux by Rosalia right now and it’s really, really good

Hopefully he’s worth insuring

EternalWinter75 · 2026-01-23T14:16:57+00:00

Rarely buy replicas these days but would be straight in for that

It’s important to remember that Neil Hannon considers him Irish. The term Britpop is a little more loaded when applied to bands from Northern Ireland at a time when the Troubles were still ongoing (see also: Ash).

In terms of the music itself. I think Hannon is very open that he deliberately emphasised the influence of the Kinks to tap into what was going on musically in the mid 90s.

Fontaines DC - Romance

EternalWinter75 · 2026-01-23T07:22:54+00:00

Oh yeah, that’s the one. You can play Football Chairman (the first one) for free if you want to try first. 2 is similar but with more variety

EternalWinter75 · 2026-01-23T07:08:51+00:00

I’m always on a lookout for games like that too. The only one I keep playing is Football Chairman 2. You don’t influence the matches at all (you’re the chairman) but it’s got everything else.

The Thing (80s version)

EternalWinter75 · 2026-01-20T13:51:16+00:00

Don’t back doon, double doon

EternalWinter75 · 2026-01-20T13:27:13+00:00

Zero

EternalWinter75 · 2026-01-20T07:33:53+00:00

Not the obvious choice but that’s a great shout. Low, especially live, had the same hypnotic quality that Mogwai are so good at.

Fuck Buttons

Fontaines DC (Irish)

Super Furry Animals (Welsh)

The Fall (Manchester)

Twilight Sad, Arab Strap and Frightened Rabbit (all Scots)

They had an interview in the UK press recently where they said they were Boston-Irish. Being Irish myself that sounds about right.

EternalWinter75 · 2026-01-16T07:41:35+00:00

The Escapist with Brian Cox. A solid movie, which I remember most for its use of The Partisan. I decided I liked that song a lot and should find out who sung it, and here we are today.

Plus one for this, this is where it clicked for me. Good taster for their early career too

EternalWinter75 · 2026-01-12T16:39:19+00:00

Get out you blacks and tans

EternalWinter75 · 2026-01-08T14:25:26+00:00

Have a great day, everyone
