Nice one.
@dino
Have you heard the new Richard Dawson album? I believe it was you who put me onto him with (the excellent) Peasant. I think I might actually like this new one more though.
If you can get into Glastonbury hidden in a laundry basket, you can get into that.
You need a man on the inside for that sort of thing. My mates aren't cool enough to be into Richard Dawson.
I should keep an eye out for him more. I've only seen him the once.
oh ok guys thanks
Random list of recently played albums:
Fables Of The Reconstruction - REM
Planetarium - James McAlister, Sufjan Stevens
Don't Let The Kids Win - Julia Jacklin
The Greatest Gift - Sufjan Stevens
New Skin For Old Ceremony - Leonard Cohen
The People's Key - Bright Eyes
The Silence Of Love - Headless Heroes
The Crane Wife - The Decemberists
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts - The Cold War Kids
Attack & Release - The Black Keys
Whilst we're on this sort of music I recently discovered '69 Love Songs', the 1999 marathon from Magnetic Fields. Adore (most of) it.
FKA Twigs new record is incredible. Lots of Kate Bush/Björk vibes.
Id never heard of this Dawson guy so I looked it up and listened to Jogging. Thats parody right?
A mate just sent me a video from a Richard Dawson fella. I knew the name (thought he was a Brexit politician) but never heard a song before. I think its the worst thing Ive ever listened to, and I dont even limit that to music.
It was called jogging.
EDIT: shit, I just seen the posts above when posting this one. Carry on.
I think that song is a really beautiful portrait of someone suffering from mental illness in 2019. I also really like the way he sings "beta blockers" in his Geordie accent.
I saw him live the other week and he really is a legend. Probably one of the best people in the England.
He cant sing and its over what can only be described as noise. Beautiful
Just watched the video as a neutral adjudicay-ah and I'm with James on this.
I thought the issue people might have with that song is he's very direct in his lyrics and delivery on it.
For something less on the nose check out Scientist off his previous album. That one is about when a strange man comes to the village you live in 7th century Northumberland and tries to install a new device he's invented in your temple, but you don't want him to.
Actually that one is even "noisier", but he definitely does some singing on it.

Ive got a mega collection of my fathers reggae/ska/soca collection. Easily over 500 vinyls here. I will have to document each one, check if they still play and sell the ones with value.
I have about the same number of my dad's old vinyls in the attic, but I've never had any method of playing them so I've just boxed and bagged them and left them alone. I know one of them is a 'picture vinyl' Bowie album that was worth four hundred quid fifteen years ago so I imagine that's worth something. In general though I think it's just old punk albums.
I've skimmed through my folk's vinyls and it all just a bit crap. I don't think there's much of a market for Harry Secombe.
It's going to be a right headache but it has to be done. I'll sort it into google docs and go from there.
Im guessing most will be worth a few pounds. I know he has some Mewtwo's because he spoke about his Studio One and Peter Tosh collections to me 10 years ago.
I know this is probably one of those me being ignorant things but a YouTube hole has led me listening to The Animals. Who seem to be from The Beatles/Monkees era where there were only about 4 bands but outside of 'We Gotta Get Out of This Place' my ignorant ass has no knowledge of them.
Absolute tune.
Purveyors of legendary beginners' guitar number 'House of the Rising Sun' among other things.
I like that era, very early Who is among my favourites from it.
Give Small Faces a listen.
Nah see, that's way too jam. I'm a hip-hop guy, those 12 seconds that go doo de lo loo de de de loo doo could be on repeat for 3 minutes.
And Chas Chandler discovered Jimi Hendrix. That House of the Rising Sun montage in Casino.
Cans.

Need your help gents.
How would I find out the name of a band that played a gig somewhere in England on 31st October 2018. They'd been going for at least 14 years and might not tour much. They also use a piano.
Elton John?
Suspect you'll need to improve on 'somewhere in England'.
Definitely not Elton John.
Think it's a them rather than a him or her too.
Would South of Birmingham help?
Songkick should have it listed. I know they do past events on the artist's wall, so you could try googling the site with the date and as much location information you have.

Don't think this alibi's gonna hold together if you need us to help you with the details.
My next suggestion was Chas and Dave, but Chas had died by then. Liberace long gone as well. Struggling for ideas.
If it turns out to be Olafur Arnalds.
Also some band called "The Church" performed in London on this date as well but I can't see the video to see if they use piano but it does say their touring band has "keyboard"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Church_(band)
They had also been active far longer than 14 years though (first album 1981)
Oh hold on I think we're onto something nownow
First Aid Kit played 02 Academy in Brixton...
Olafur Arnalds played London Palladium...
The Dresden Dolls played in Troxy, London
this one is interesting because it does say they're a "piano rock dark cabaret" band that's been around since 2000.
the Pixies played The Roundhouse in London
Mac Demarco played in Southampton
Dream Wife played KOKO in London (with queen Zee and Big Joanie)
Rainbow Kitten Surprise played Heaven in London (with Callum Beta)
Shinedown played Manchester Academy
they're a rockband but they have a piano of some kind per wiki
Reel Big Fish and Less Than Jake played in London, they're kinda ska they might have some kinda piano stuff
idk there were apparently a ton of shows in the UK on that date

Bru, you are a star. These are definitely the names of bands that it might be, keep em coming.
I'll have a look through them all when I finish work.
Has anyone else asked why yet?
I made a joke about it but given that didn't prompt anything I would also like to declare my curiosity.
