Sheffield buses sound like the KLF « Sheffield blog

If you’re wondering whether this means I was sad enough to be spending most of the day sat in the pensioners’ seat behind the driver recording whole bus journeys on my smart phone, then yes, that’s pretty much what happened.

What I like most about this is that it’s one of those things that hardly anyone would notice, but it obviously stuck with this writer.

I quite often think that parts of songs sound like other songs, or that some people look like other people, when no-one else seems to see or hear the similarity.

Maybe it’s an intelligence thing…

This is why the British talk about the weather all the time. This Google Maps Street View shows Loch Promenade in Douglas on the Isle of Man. Follow the link and then click the arrow to move one step forward. Some of you may think that the difference in the weather is because Google filmed the same place at two different times, but you’d be wrong. It really happens.

The King Blues Live at the Electric Ballroom, 9 October 2009

(by magnoliaMAMLtd)

From the filmmaker:

The King Blues finished their Sold Out UK Tour on 9th October with a triumphant show at Camden’s Electric Ballroom…This is an 8 minute edit of what was an amazing 90 minute gig. The sound is a bit shoddy, but the excitement and love that was in that room is palpable.

From the last commenter:

I saw them a couple of years ago in Manchester, the atmosphere at the gig reminded me of when i saw the Clash live.

Apparently, I’m going to be on a King Blues kick tonight. I’m determined to show just how good they are live. This eight-minute video includes a cover of Dizzee Rascal’s Bonkers, spoken-word poetry involving Back to the Future, and scenes of moshing and mass crowd-singaglongs. It’s the closest I’ve found yet to how amazing it was to see them live.

The King Blues — I Want You (Official Video)

One of Decode’s latest videos, shot on tour with the guys on their Punk & Poetry tour! 

It’s currently on Kerrang’s playlist, so keep an eye out for it on Kerrang TV - Sky channel 468! 

Of all the bands that I saw at Download a few weeks ago, it was The King Blues that surprised me the most. I’ve always liked them but, live, they were so much more raw than they sound on their albums. That’s a good thing — they were brilliant.

This video is for the album version of the song, but it’s based on footage from their live shows, so at least you can get an idea. I hope they release a live album someday.

Bright Eyes — Let’s Not Shit Ourselves (To Love and to Be Loved) (Live)

(via batmanoberst)

This song came up on shuffle tonight — it was the first time I’d heard it in ages, and I remembered how much I loved it.

Then I remembered this video of it, which I saw a few years ago.

Look at how much fun they seem to be having — so many people on stage, two drummers (one of my favourite things), a brass section, Conor Oberst stumbling around and a weird bit with (staged) people invading the stage.

Yes, it’s an edited short version of the actual 10 minute-long song and, yes, the swear words have been bleeped out, but I still love it.
