Deeply unfashionable groups who have a decent body of work...


Recommended Posts

I was the opposite and mainly listened to underground music that were popular in certain circles. I wouldn't dream stepping inside mainstream clubs. And I certainly couldn't name a number one pop record.


Bought quite a few records that weren't released in this country.


I don't do mainstream I'm afraid. This set the template for everything I do. It's why I don't do Waitrose anymore.

Going to see Duran Duran on Saturday.


You might not have heard of them because I don't do commercial music, these guy are part of an underground movement called New Ryematic (I think I heard that right).


We try not to have fun, there seems to be an awful lot of time committed to snide comments and insider jokes told with a slight curl to the lip.


To be honest, they're all a bit like Adrian Mole.


This will be the view from John Taylor's hair...

Somethings get popular and mainstream because, well you know, they're actually quite good.


Surely to deny yourself anything mainstream as a matter of principle, is cutting your nose off to spite your face.


What is wrong with just liking what sounds good to your ears, whether it's in the main stream, or the little known stream that only the cool kids know about?

I'm with UDT, property is theft. I too only listen to music made by foreigners and quite specifically not for sale.


The BEST EVER deeply unfashionable band with a great back catalogue is Maria Zarzuela and her dog on a string. You'll find her begging by the Rastro market in Madrid where she gives her music away on old C60 cassettes; each one is a one off and I will never let you share in their goddness.

This of course means none of you will ever get to know just how right I am.


I also know of a great sushi place in London, but I can't divulge that little gem either.

No wonder UDT won't tell anyone on the football thread who he supports, none of us will have ever heard of them. To support a mainstream premiership side would clearly be beneath him.


His side are so underground that they don't actually play matches anymore incase someone finds out about them.

I love UDT's assertion that he can't name a number one pop record.

I'm pretty sure you can.


I'll kick off with "Do they know it's Christmas" and keenly await your denial.


- Does who know it's christmas? Er, I'm afraid I don't quite follow you, Squadron Leader.

Ah UDT, so it was YOU at those early Lucky 7 nights at the Gowlett, playing Cancer Bats and No Innocent Victims records, before the cheese took over


Anyway I'm going to nominate Gary Numan as a deeply unfashionable act with a solid body of work (and a staggering waste of plastic from about 1983-2000). But his stuff since about 2000 has been pretty darn good in an "ooh I heard NiN and it changed my life!" kind of way

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
