Have this blaring as you roll into Kettering on a Friday night and the world is your lobster -
Drive Time with the Loopmeister
This thread.
LOL it’s like our own version of Godwin’s Law. If the thread goes on long enough it is a guarantee it’ll go to shit.
You’re quite saucy today, Al. Did someone spike your Weetabix?
You can really tell who’s late to the message board world in this thread!
Smallman1 Alistair and Si, they just don’t get it!
If your knob was as long as your neck, you wouldn’t look like a dickless wonder in your posing pouch, you berk-faced, shambolic eunuch!
That’s what we all get!
Now stop making shite jokes for no lols and concentrate on the drivetime vibes, eddie.
Pre-lunch cheeky square of Bournville in the Vectra.

hugopal Good tune, but not their best. While fronted by Mancunian (well, Mancunian like New Order - Mansfield) Mark Holmes, these guys were Canadian and were the hottest shit in Canada during the 1980s since a bear walked a path. I wasn’t aware they’d had success outside of the country (because most bands from Canada didn’t in the 1980s).
Mark went on to be the owner of The Mod Club in Toronto, which hosts all sorts of electronic music and live music events - which is where he picked up DJing. I’d frequently bump into him at various events at the Mod Club in the naughties and 2010s.
Plantinum Blonde released a self-produced and released comeback album that was largely all electronic with Mark’s vocals in 2012. Just as they were about to go out on tour across Canada with great fanfare, their original drummer died of a heart attack. They still tour to this day although several members of the band have since passed on.
Anyway, this was #1 in Canada on September 7, 1985. Here’s Plantinum Blonde with ‘Crying Over You’ on Jaded FM!

Were there quite a few of them to begin with, loopy?

I’m not sure they had much success outside of Canada either. I just got in to that song because I’m a huge fan of Crystal Castles (who were also from Toronto) and they did a couple of cover versions of it.
The video for that other song of theirs you posted is quite cool, but I still prefer the song I posted.
I’ve missed Loopy’s stories!
In case you missed the reference. CANADA!

Beat you to it mate. This was in the thread early doors.
Yeah, Crystal Castles are decent. They also did a tune with Robert Smith of The Cure that’s excellent.
I actually prefer the Crystal Castles cover of it over the original!

Had to do it. It’s been a while that I’ve done it in an absolutely non-related thread.
