  1. I've listened to it several times now. There are quite a lot of reminders of Disintegration, and also of some mid-80s songs I can't quite put my finger on. As is usual, some songs are stronger than others, but when I tried cherry-picking, it didn't seem as satisfactory as I had hoped. So I listen either to all of it in one go, or at least all of Side Two. I took the opportunity to compare it a lot with Disintegration, and then also with Pornography. I find that neither this new album nor Disintegration remind me in the slightest of Pornography. The latter is angry and in the moment, whereas Dis. and this one are both reflective. Quality-wise, it's not Disintegration, but then Disintegration isn't Pornography and it's still kept me happy for years. I don't recall ever making it all the way through The Top or Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me in one go, so I guess I'm placing it above them. I like that "Drone Redrone" reminds me of "Shake Dog Shake", though I'd be hard pressed to justify the resemblance I'm claiming to notice. (I could live with more guitars and fewer synths, but I've been thinking that since Live In Orange, so that's my own problem. If anyone else feels the same, there's a decent recording of "Fascination Street" on YouTube from Finsbury Park in 1993, when they were briefly keyboardistless. Very nice.)
  2. Are you sure the shop bought it? Couldn't it be that someone spying a profit bought it and is selling it through a shop on commission?
  3. Twenty years Goldie Lookin Chain ticked the same boxes
  4. The sellers description and their other items for sale suggest that this isn't their usual thing
  5. Presumably "gigging experience a plus" includes an implied "in addition to your stage show experience"
  6. "Rehearsals start 24 Mar, Performances 9 Apr – 1 May" Not exactly Eras 2.0
  7. I Ain't Superstitious - Chris Poland
  8. Roll It Over - Oasis Much underrated, but not by R. Kidd: https://youtu.be/zcmsA2-oUek?feature=shared
  9. I've a set of Chromes that have reached the grand old age of 11 weeks and 2 days. I expect they'll last into January.... 😁
  10. I knew someone who, immediately prior to leaving their local, would pop 50p into the jukebox and select 1. Kylie Minogue - The Loco-motion 2. Kylie Minogue - The Loco-motion 3. Kylie Minogue - The Loco-motion 4. Kylie Minogue - The Loco-motion 5. Kylie Minogue - The Loco-motion 6. Kylie Minogue - The Loco-motion 7. Kylie Minogue - The Loco-motion
  11. ½" of metal tube round the string, next to the ball end, to move the ball end ½" away from the bridge?
  12. Would like to see a non-signature Squier Jaguar with this pickup position, with a tone control added. Maybe called Paranormal and priced c. £300?
  13. Neck Shape: "U" Shape Scale Length: 34" (86.36 cm) Fingerboard Radius: 7.25" (184.1 mm) Number of Frets: 20 Fret Size: Jumbo Nut Material: Synthetic Bone Nut Width: 1.615" (41.02 mm)
  14. One of the things that makes a significant difference to tone is the position of the pickup. Thanks to Hoppus, there are Fender basses with pickups in locations that haven't been set for decades. Does gratitude for this not take precedence over your opinion of the player who caused them to exist?
  15. Have some other options been lost?
