Lightfoot covid is killing it mate. Live music is dying in its wake. Terrible pity. Nothing I miss more than gigs.

      alistair My comment was more on the lack of creativity that has been an issue for the last 15 or so years.

      I agree on the current issue around live gigs though.

          Lightfoot I take the broader point but there has been plenty of good new electronica released in 2020

            Homegrove There is and there always has been. Maybe LF is talking more about pop music - it’s shit isn’t it? Most likely I take this view because of my age, but there is no KLF in the charts and that has been the case for a long old time.

                Pop music in the charts is always for the kids. It’s not for us.

                  Kenton Might be the Rich Lane edit…it’s on sc

                      Agree with Light foot, the pop side of things has been putrid for about 20 years. The overall standard of song writing and originality is shockingly bad. It seems Hip Hop and that type of track is the go-to formula for many artists/producers, and its all pure fucking shite.
                      Nicky Minaj and other cunts like Cardi B “ singing” about eating cock and rubbing their hymens is the norm now. “oh wow did you check out the lyrics of the new Cardi B track?” fuck off, it’s insulting to those of us who grew up listening to Talk Talk or David Bowie on MTV. Pop seems lazy, monotonous and raped as was previously mentioned, run by people who have no integrity whatsoever.
                      I don’t agree it’s for kids only either, my father who’s in his mid 60s can often be found humming the latest computer generated shite and will often claim to like the latest cut. Mainly because he’s a radio listener, the poor cunts who are force fed all the nonsense.

                        You sounded like a proper boomer there LT. Ticked so many boxes, “back in my day the lyrics meant something.”

                        Move on and let the kids enjoy it.

                          Homegrove is the new Avalanches pop? It’s bloody catchy and has got the full family seal of approval as has the ultra poppy Dua Lipa one. Some really good remixes too

                            When I think of good pop I get all misty eyed about the glory days of Eternal and Dina Carroll.

                            Loved first half of the last Grimes album. Jessie Ware and Roisin Murphy’s latests were good. What is pop anyway?

                              Didn’t Dermo bang on about his ultra rare KLF vinyl?
