Still trying to finalise my 2023 top ten, but this somewhere in the top three. Also one of the top gigs of the year.
@acrmcr - 1982
The Fireman (Paul McCartney and Youth) - Electric Arguments
I really wasn’t sure about this combo but I found a copy in the wild and it’s pretty damn good, if a little disjointed. #vinyl
A couple of newish releases came in the post today:
- New Pornographers - Continue As A Guest
- Wilco - Cousin
Dad Rock night Chez Mac.
Tonight’s first spin chosen indirectly by @scotspostpunk: U2 live at the Marquee 1980. This string of weekly gigs was the stuff of legends - from a handful of folks to sellouts with crowds outside in the street in only 4 or 5 weeks. SPP and I were each able to catch one of these and - whatever your opinion of U2 today is - they were objectively shit hot then.
Originally a fan club release, this was repressed as a 2 x 10” LP in 2015.
