Auditioning a new guitarist tonight!!
Already like him (I was hoping we might get some diversity in terms of people replying to ad but it was all guys!) BUT tonight we find out if he fits in with the general vibe when we're rehearsing. If he ignores the fact we're not that good we'll be fine 😂
I lurked and enjoyed the discussions vicariously 😂
I have a short attention span atm so I hesitated with regards to getting involved. (Also who the f**k needs a Bauhaus stall 😂).
But will definitely engage when I’m able
So congratulations @yamiacat.bsky.social ! A promising start!!
Yeah!
Especially as historically that’s when artists could actually make lots of money from record sales - before the days of streaming :-(
Their contract wasn’t too good I think
Wonderful choice
They were HUGE (for an admittedly short period of time) yet the band made almost nothing.
Trevor Horn did quite well though :-( !!
One of those bands that lost me as they progressed but early U2 was such powerful stuff!!
The original Deutsche version too!!
As it should be! 😂
Great choice and thankfully the side bet I had going on of which The Damned song you might choose only involved me and had no money riding on it 😂
Great choice there are one or two songs I can think of by your usual band of choice and I’m running bets (with myself) as to which might make the cut for your second token 😂
If they even do of course. I’m on tenterhooks!!
I think it’s a close call between this one and Radio Free Europe for me but there’s barely anything in it :-)
This one might be a little ‘on the nose’!
Apologies everyone.
Released 37 years ago and could have been released yesterday :-(

Ha! As you just pointed out on another post - the Creedence Song was definitely in the running for me too!
They’re really fun live!
Was lucky enough to catch them (by complete lucky accident!) before they exploded into the limelight. Small venue but packed to the rafters and the whole crowd (except me) knew every word to every (still unreleased) song so it was hardly a shock they’re big now!
Ha!
Two of them could ONLY be next week
Yet my gut still says do the other one!! 😂
Nice
Getting in there with a classic before anyone else posts it - 1st song that popped into my head 😂
Thank you - just been a quiet boring week for me that’s all!
Got 3 potentials. Two specific to the date - one of which is obvious - the other more literary in nature and a curveball (that I’m currently leaning towards) with 5 or 6 potential closing tracks for each so … I feel marginally prepared!!!
All good thank you (both)
Been planning potential themes for next Sat and applying for jobs!! The usual 😂
Yes :-)
His voice!! ♥️
Now on my ever expanding list!! 😄
I make beer (actually have real qualifications and everything but will never have the finances required to start my own brewery 😂) so always have loads of those kind of bottles hanging around. If you go into mass production - give me a shout and you can have some
It is - uses some of the natural yeasts present on the outside of the pineapple to start breaking down and eating the sugars
So not the same as Kombucha but I (personally) prefer its caffeine free
Would like to give homemade Kombucha a go though so definitely want to know if yours is a success :-)
Keep us posted on progress!
I make something called tepache from the bits of pineapple you would ordinarily discard. In terms of it being a fermentation thing it’s a Mexican-lite version of Kombucha
If you leave it long enough it turns into pineapple vinegar too which is great for salad dressings
They also did the theme tune to The Big Bang Theory
My Canadian (much) better half would have words if you hadn’t heard them at all 😂
NOT A TOKEN

One of those bands I really enjoy when I hear a song but I’ve never spent any real time exploring their back catalogue
Must try harder
Love it. Would fit in perfectly with one (of the many) themes bouncing around in my head for a couple of weeks time - but has moved down the list a little in favour of a new idea so phew!
I imagine one of my wing people will crack before I need to try and offload the spare ticket🤞😄
I somehow never did!! So looking forward to it in a no doubt very sweaty venue in the middle of Summer in Brighton 😂
One of those albums (Bring It On) you forget how great it is till you randomly put it on because you’re stuck deciding what to listen to ❤️
I know. That’s one of the many reasons I love Robert Smith. For dictating the terms under which Ticketmaster are allowed to sell their tickets. Unsurprisingly when stood up to by a ‘big’ name they just fold and accept the terms OR lose the business
