What are you listening to? Byker Grove imaginary boy band edition

[Myshkin]

ha! havnt seen that vid before, amazing

The whole comeback gig's on Youtube. They took the piss out of the idea of a comeback years before comebacks became the norm. It was for 23 minutes and the Liverpool Dockers sang too. Beautiful gig.

Bill Drummond with the (real) dead swan... unbelievable.

From the uplifting to something that's been overplayed in the Grim household (read: dusty room) of late:

Hank Williams - I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

Just indulge me, everyone. I'm not literally going to cry, but I'm really feeling that one at the moment.

And for fuck's sake, don't listen to it if you're heartbroken.

Pumpkins

Starla

Good old Hank. Even his happy songs were tragic. And his lyrics were underrated.

Hank Williams - Nobody's Lonesome For Me

And he gets bonus points for having a career that lasted under six years but so many songs with 'lonesome' in the title.

Johnny Cash, not long before he died I believe, Nine Inch Nails song

Hurt

He covered it well too. Good old Johnny.

I never liked Reznor's voice but my best mate is a NIN fan so I learned to respect him musically.

That is definitely one of the rare times when the cover is better than the original imo..

Beautiful. In keeping with the low mood, here's another one which old Johnny Boy covered, but in its original version;

Bonnie Prince Billy - I Can See a Darkness

Saw him play this live in a small bar in Dublin - magical.

Can I just add this on the mellow tip - Bon Iver - skinny love

 

[JedTheHumanoid]

^ got a bit of Bon Iver on right now... And is your username a Bill Hicks reference? Good man (or woman).

The Mary Chain! If they weren't a band they'd be my girlfriend.

Hank Williams - You Win Again

Sorry folks, it's country again. All tragic, like. Genius.

In honour of the book I am reading

The Godfather

:D

Hank Williams - I'm Free At Last

Every word. Every fucking word.

Did this guy just get royalties for every time somebody cried?

 

[Myshkin]

Hank Williams - There's A Tear In my Beer

And this. Sorry, this is my night in anutshell after returning from a lovely evening eith my ex. Pathetic? Yes. Repentant? No.

 

[th3 s1aught3r]

Hank has some soulful lyrics

 

[Myshkin]

Fuck, no wonder this thread didn't move much last night. I can be a maudlin fuck, can't I?

Still, Hank.

So here's the other Hank in my life, who is not in the closet at all, remember kids? Not that it matters in any way whatsoever, but he wants you to know. Okay?

Black Flag - Slip It In

"I don't know... I've kinda got a boyfriend...

... oh, okay!"

 

[Myshkin]

Alright, back to t'other Hank...

Someday You'll Call My Name

Unsurpassed.
