Just listen.

Don't be tempted to sing the chorus.

And it is not "The Sound of Silence"...

Listening to this banger at the moment, but could be anything really! Back when I was in college, a few of us went for a drive down to north Spain to visit a friend, and we had a mix tape with this track on it - brings back good memories!

Stomper! Brings back some great memories from 1996. I still have a cassette somewhere with this track on it.

Back in the days when you had to record a DJ mix on a Hi-Fi system. Good times.

Finger on the "Pause" button!

"Streamline" by Newton, heavily used in the fourth Lo mas Duro mix:

Trying to explain Horslips to someone, I spotted the nice train in the background from about 1:20 in.

Here in the current not to sunny UK, its Absolutely Radio 90s playing on the radio whilst I go through a couple of N gauge repairs on the workbench.

Piano Man, Billy Joel. Just after listening to Don't Look Back In Anger, Oasis. Before that, Mr. Brightside, The Killers, and then Dreams, The Cranberries. If anyone beats that for variety, I'll build a kit for my layout and name the building after them.

I went to see The Pogues play in Burton on Trent, in a converted bowling alley, around the early 80s.

For logistical reasons, we arrived quite early and waited in a fairly reasonable pub.

After a few minutes, we became aware that the jukebox had no consistent theme and played stuff from every possible musical genre.

As this went on, we started to think that everything had been covered, heavy metal, pop, bubble gum, progressive rock, light classical, country & western, musicals, folk, skiffle, rock and roll, blues, jazz - everything...

There had been about twenty completely unrelated records when I said, "That must be it, the only thing missing is Slim Whitman".

The next record was "Rose Marie"...
 

I was then accused of having set this up somehow.

Have to tell that to my uncle Andrew. As well as being one of our modelling brethren, I’m pretty sure he’s been to every Pogues gig. Like, ever.

I saw them three times. The Burton one was weird, as the stage was halfway along the long side of the room, rather than at one end.

I also saw them in Oakengates Town Hall, a bit of a posh place and the manager was utterly horrified when he saw the queue lined up outside. He clearly thought he'd booked something like the Clancy Brothers and expected a few people in Aran sweaters to turn up, not several hundred degenerates. He actually locked the doors again, whilst he deliberated about whether to let them in or not. After about thirty seconds, he realised it might be worse if he tried to keep them out...

The chap in front of me in the queue was wearing an old army blanket and had a Mohican in the style of a TV aerial.

Recently watched Neil Young and Paul McCartney performing "A Day in the Life" at Glastonbury.

 

Too young to really appreciate either artist in my late teens 50 years ago, but sure relate to their music these days

 

[WRENNEIRE]

If you are into Neil Young I recently went to a gig by an Irish tribute band called Harvest
It was like listening to "Deja Vu"

[Irishswissernie]

Neil Young is usually playing when I'm working on the layout or watching Swiss Cab rides. This is my favourite at the moment.

Hmm, pretty sure I was too subtle here- just to clarify, I was 100% flexing- he is actually the drummer.

And a lovely guy too- I also own two railway books that once belonged to Darryl Hunt, so I’m guessing he wasn’t alone in the band!

[leslie10646]

Ah, Ernie, a Man of Taste. Young sounds as he did forty years ago!

One of my favourite Neil Young tracks tells it all - "A Man needs a Maid". My Filipina Amah in HK thought that it said everything!

You need a maid, then you can get on with the modelling, writing up logs, scanning lsides .......
