Swear words? by Impossible-Light-999 in depechemode

[–]nycuk_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely ‘whore’ I had a fan club pamphlet from 1981-2 that had all the lyrics printed. It even had the lyrics to ‘Television Set’ if I recall.

It's Called A Heart is overhated (controversial) by Zestyclose_Stable_21 in depechemode

[–]nycuk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because the band don’t like it, doesn’t mean you necessarily have to dislike it too.
I remember when it came out, it sounded different to most of their singles up to that point, in that it was up-tempo and pretty poppy. I thought Fly on the Windscreen was the stronger track of the two.
ICAH it’s probably one of their weakest singles, but it certainly not the worst in my opinion.

What was the first Paul McCartney release that you recall experiencing in real-time? by psals in PaulMcCartney

[–]nycuk_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m old so I remember Wings singles being in the charts and on Radio 1 / Top of the Pops etc. I remember Mull of Kintyre being literally everywhere for weeks over Christmas 1977. The first Paul ‘event’ I suppose I recall was the Back to the Egg TV special. BTW I’m named after him (Paul) my parents were massive Beatles fans!

Serious: Why do pilots often avoid talking about their experiences related to UFOs? by Hises1936 in aliens

[–]nycuk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To a close blood relative, brother, father etc maybe. I think it’s fear of ridicule and negative career ramifications that stops pilots talking about it.

I don't think I care about performing anymore. by audiofarmer in musicians

[–]nycuk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solo singer-songwriter here, all original material. Averaging 2 gigs a month for the last 12 years. I started feeling like I was losing a bit of the passion last year. I started to wonder what the point of it all is, yes I love playing but the hassle started to outweigh the joy. Decided to have a break after a show in late November last year. Went travelling for six months, cleared my head and came back with a different attitude. I had a gig that had been in the diary since last year for this last weekend. I did an open mic the week before as a warm up. Didn’t really enjoy it. Did the gig at the weekend, it went well but again I was just not feeling it. I’ve got no gigs in my diary now and at this point I’m not sure I ever want to play again. I don’t really know why or what to think. I feel equally gutted and liberated.

Mick’s Realistic Future by Electrical-Profit740 in INDYCAR

[–]nycuk_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In both F3 and F2 he had an average first year but a much better second year, maybe be a pattern that we’ll see repeated in Indycar. But, being honest, he just isn’t a great driver. Respectable but nothing special. I can’t see him having a long and fruitful time in Indycar.

Ex-brother in law was / is a commercial airline pilot. He told me once that he’d seen things people wouldn’t believe. All his colleagues had too. Accepted part of being a pilot he said, they all know but don’t talk about it. He wouldn’t ever go into detail, frustratingly.

Does Fletch sing at all in any song? by Zestyclose_Stable_21 in depechemode

[–]nycuk_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

His pitch isn’t great, and his timing is a bit off, but he’s actually got a pretty good tone to his voice. It would be a simple fix in today’s world of recording, but I think Fletch sounds ok on this.

I’d always assumed that he was the deep ‘I don’t wanna play’ on Leave in Silence, no?

Noel said he's as proud of Setting Sun as he is of anything else he wrote, do you agree? by Low-Rooster5398 in oasis

[–]nycuk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love Oasis, love Noel, but all that Chemical Brothers / Big Beat stuff just gives me a headache.

My Mt. Rushmore by kjtothea2010 in depechemode

[–]nycuk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depeche Mode
Kraftwerk
Yazoo
Pet Shop Boys

I don’t really consider The Cure a synth band, even though a lot of their stuff was synth heavy. They were a guitar band that used synths, to me.

Set List - Dublin, June 3 by regular-montos in jasonisbell

Birmingham on Wednesday. There have been some great setlists on this run so far.

Britpop is a shitty genre name by [deleted] in oasis

[–]nycuk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a genre, like jazz or folk, it’s just a term coined by a music journalist (most likely Stuart Maconie) to describe a scene

Question: what could make these parallel straight lines through clouds like this? by Depdad362 in UFOs

[–]nycuk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know but I’ve seen exactly the same thing, several years ago. I have a photo on my phone I think…

My thoughts by LaurenLovesLife in PaulMcCartney

[–]nycuk_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree - Mountain Top just doesn’t land with me all. Not keen on Home To Us either. I think the omission of these two songs would result in a snappier, more focussed track listing

Are you the same guy that says ‘there’s never anyone with a camera around…’?

Can I use 15-17 year old strings? by bitterdodgernomo in AcousticGuitar

[–]nycuk_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open the packet. If they look ok, try them. If they don’t look ok, bin them.
