  1. #FridayRockShow

    This has been called the greatest Depeche Mode song never made. So many people think it sounds like them.

    But I was there... 3000yrs ago, when it was first released. I still have the 7" in a box in my cupboard awaiting the resurrection of the turntable I keep saying I'm going to buy for my reading and music nook.

  3. I rarely post music these days... But it is Friday... so time to resurrect the #FridayRockShow

    To kick things of a collaboration between Chvrches and Robert Smith.

    I am literally looking through my 'most frequently played' list on my mediaserver for these.

  5. Hadn't heard of Trespass until the weekend until I heard them on a Friday Rock Show recording from January 1980...They sounded excellent so I'll buy their latest album on vinyl soon 👌🤘🏻

  6. "I've been online for longer than the internet. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. 56k modems on fire in the light of Usenet. I watched IRC forks glitter in the dark near the Gateway 3000. All those moments will be lost in slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify."

    I shamelessly stole that quote from a random post I saw on here. It perfectly captures my online existence and what I think about the current state of it.

    I've been online since the mid 90's, usually through friends computers at first, before that I'd been tinkering with computers since I was about 12yrs old, from things like Commodore 64's & Amiga's as well as Atari ST's. I got my first PC with a modem in 98, I've been building my own PC's since 2000, but I'd been upgrading systems in some way since at least 91.

    I remember the hope and promise it held and how that's been ripped away from everyone for lies, tracking, privacy invasion and a subscription to everything. If they could force you into a subscription service to breathe... they would.

    I've been on Masto for 3yrs or so now. I deleted facebook in 2011, twitter in 2018 (not that I really ever used it) and shunned all others with the exception of G+ when that was good between 2011-2015.

    Mastodon is my only social media platform now. I switched to beige.party because my previous instance went through a period of instability and was constantly down for a day or two at least 2 or 3 times a month.

    Some people like to put fancy letters after their names, so I thought I'd do the same.

  8. You never know where the rabbit hole will take you, I only select the next song from the list suggested.

    That this one popped up, gave me goosebumps. One of my brothers all time faves.

    I lost my brother in 2007, Colin Vearncombe died during that awful 2016.

    The song is beautiful & haunting, the video is simple yet stunning. But it's not a happy song, it's like surfacing after years of depression & melancholy.

  9. This one is on my all time top ten #choons list.

    Why... because it's fucking awesome that's why... and the #NoDoubt cover is almost as good.

  10. OK, how about this one... I wasn't even a teenager when this came out.

    But it's song like this that caught my attention and made me fall in love with the genre.

  11. Ah the youtube rabbit hole sucks me in and down a 80's nostalgia ride again... and lands me here.

    yeah... I was a young teenage boy when this came out. Of course I had lewd thoughts about Wendy James.

  12. I knew there must have been a reason that the first song I chose for #FridayRockShow today just happened to be #HowSoonIsNow by #TheSmiths

    Did I have a gut feeling about this? I'd not seen/heard any news site at all today... Was out all morning until at least 2pm.

    So here it is again

  14. Can't forget #EchoAndTheBunnymen either, and opting for one of their later tracks as it's a personal fave of mine and reminds me of a girl I once knew.

  16. Velvet Revolver were an alternative metal supergroup consisting of Guns N' Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum alongside Dave Kushner of Wasted Youth, and Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots.

  17. One of the things I've always loved about #DepecheMode is their experimental nature... Never resting on single 'genre', always trying new things.

    This can mean some albums aren't always well received and even I admit that there are albums with but a few tracks I really like.

    But this one... I love. It goes against the grain of their previous work, a much rockier and harder edge to it.

  18. #ShakeTheDisease has a strange place. It was released as a single and only (originally) included on the 'Singles 81-85' album from 1985.

    But it's a cracking #Choon all the same

    or
    #FridayGothShow

    you decide

    In a time where it's easy to send nude selfies to people... this song harks back to a time when having a picture of some one was a treasured thing.

  20. Back in the old days (fuck that makes me sound old) of #GooglePlus even though it was only a few short years ago (time moves quick in tech circles)

    We had a #FridayRockShow thing going... Ya know... for those saddo's amongst us who didn't have much of a social life anymore due to helping care for an elderly, disabled parent.

    Might be fun to resurrect that if anyone is interested... any era welcome... just needs to rock the house.
