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

    • I recently hired Andy to paint the newly plastered walls in my front room, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, he offered a fair and reasonable price for the work, and his professionalism really stood out. Andy has a wealth of experience and was happy to share suggestions about colour choices and paint types, which made the decision-making process much easier. He completed the work within the agreed timescale, and I am very happy with the finish.  What impressed me most is that Andy went above and beyond what I initially asked. He not only painted the room beautifully but also helped with extra tasks such as putting up the wall bracket, curtain poles, and curtains, and even gave me a hand moving furniture between rooms. That level of support is rare and very much appreciated. If you’re looking for a painter and decorator who is reliable, trustworthy, reasonably priced, experienced, and willing to go the extra mile to help, I would highly recommend Andy.
    • John recently skimmed the walls in our front room lounge, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and easy to work with.   He arrived on time each day and kept me updated on progress, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The quality of his plastering is smooth, even, and ready to paint with minimal prep. He takes real pride in his work.   John was also very tidy, laying down protective sheets and cleaning up thoroughly after the job was done. It’s clear he respects his clients’ homes, which I really appreciated.   On top of that, he’s friendly, approachable, and trustworthy someone you feel comfortable having in your home. His pricing was fair and transparent, with no unexpected costs.   Highly recommended if you're looking for a skilled and reliable plasterer. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future work.
