Bye bye baby. You know the Ramones could've covered that and it wouldve been great.
I think they would have knocked a great version of "I Love You Love Me Love" by you know who. That is a really great track that I can never really listen to again.
I don't have a problem listening to any of his songs. The evil stuff he did was years after those songs were released. A good song is still a good song either way. Why should other members of the Glitter band have to suffer because he's a two-bob cunt.
I'll admit to listening to it in the car but I won't have it on at my next dinner party.
Your guests probably wouldn't like your hair or the clothes you love to wear. They wouldn't understand you were just an angel in disguise.
Haha, I've never even been to a dinner party. I think we had a discussion on here about dinner parties many moons ago.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I would definitely go if Tep was the host.

I posted about this recently but it is scientific fact that the music from your teen years has a major impact on your brain and it is to do with raging hormones. As teenagers are flooded with hormones their emotions are all over the place, they like things more than at any other time in their life as well as hating things more. Same reason they have crushes on people and ‘first loves’ that stay with them for life.
So why is my favourite music from before I got any real hormones? 78 to 82?
Mine is mostly things I discovered in my 20s and 30s recorded from between 1966-1985.

I’m really glad several other bands have knocked out great covers of Leader of the Gang.

I'm waiting for my brain to start becoming less receptive to new music. I think it has in a lot of ways. Hip hop is harder for me to get into, not that I was ever *that* into it. That being said, getting Spotify in 2012 sparked a huge renaissance for me getting into new music which slowed or even reversed some of the typical aging trends I was developing.

Also, I hardly ever listen to music from my teen years and don't hold it in particularly high regard mostly because it is horrible 90s stuff.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Speaking of you know who, has anyone else ever watched The Execution of Gary Glitter? I've found it on YouTube. It's fascinating, disturbing, and quite satisfying when he finally swings.

Getting back to the original topic - I still find myself searching out new music. I just turned 41. Yes, I have my old favorites - but I like to think I'm still curious enough to look for new sounds - but that doesn't always mean "new" new - it can be discovering bands that had broken up before I was born.

Ive tried to find new music but too hard from here with commercial radio playing Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran.
I tend to explore more ‘old’ bands back catalog hues that I don’t know well. Lately I Have listen to more New York Dolls and Television than I ever have.

I was talking to someone about this recently and mentioned that somehow I have managed to go through life without yet hearing an Ed Sheeran song. I’m sure that’s not strictly true but I certainly can’t consciously place one anyway. I listen to lots of radio, mostly two particular channels, and they never play Ed Sheeran, never and thank fuck for that.

Radio is hard. Particularly rock radio. There are a decent number of rock bands in the last few years that I am super enthusiastic about, but none get radio play. Fortunately, this stuff is easier to find than ever.

I've probably scanned YouTube comments maybe 25 times in my life, and only -only- ever to try to find out some musical info about recording dates, personnel, etc. (and the info was usually empirically wrong).

YouTube comments were the template for Facebook and Twitter - i.e. the nadir of public discourse.
Couldnt agree more with the above.

Oh and Wolter you poor thing, I didn't realize you had it so bad, I still think of you as this Chicago hipster even though I know you're from the South.

As for what everyone else has been speaking about. I was most fortunate to grow up in am area where I had ready access to an abundance of good non-comercial radio. And was able to get a bus to Nanuet and go to Tapeville USA. Image . Despite the name they had a pretty good vinyl section. Then when I went away to school Vintage Vinyl in Jersey was where I dropped a lot of cash on records.

I mainly go for loud guitar driven rock music but I think my tastes are pretty varied and in the past 20 years I've gotten into a lot of folk music in general and Irish trad in particular. And more recently I've developed a love for soul music that I never had as a kid/teen/young adult. But ive come about to these new styles mainly via punk. Punk got me into the Pogues which got me into the folky and trad stuff. And I can find similar links to other styles that I've grown to love. Hell I never really listened to reggae until hearing the Clash and later the Bad Brains.

Yes I watched it a while back a strange affair. Glitter tried to sue the makers I believe.

My favorite current artist is Janelle Monae. Don't know if she's your thing, but she is amazing.
