Lost in music - most of the time.

Quite proud of my homemade Factory bird box. It could do with a FAC catalogue number..

@Smiths_history Still have my program 🙂

@Lionesses But wait…
Bronze’s attacking outdoes her defending
We pull one back and the crowd goes mad

Could we do it
And earn a draw
The excitement builds
As we go looking for goal number 4….

@campbellclaret just experienced this magnificent fir tree in Beccles churchyard, Suffolk.

My tree of the day by a long way 🙏

[Philip Kenyon 🌱 🐝 @Kenyon6Phil]

@ariellec Yes, that and my guitars and my cat Sox - don’t need much else 🙏

@amylimart @Tate After recently reading the excellent This Dark Country by Rebecca Birrell then a trip to see this exhibition is definitely on the cards.

It’ll be wonderful to see the originals of these great paintings 🙏

[Philip Kenyon 🌱 🐝 @Kenyon6Phil]

@Birmingham_81 Yes, you’re completely right. It doesn’t really matter but it was deadly serious in the late 70’s and early 80’s. You had to pick your tribe.

I liked The Jam and AC/DC though 😅

[Philip Kenyon 🌱 🐝 @Kenyon6Phil]

@Birmingham_81 Genuine question…

What’s the difference between Post Punk and New Wave?

I’m a bit confused 🤷‍♂️

[Philip Kenyon 🌱 🐝 @Kenyon6Phil]

@Birmingham_81 Yes, it’s the crossover thing that messes with my head!

I don’t think that happend in Heavy Metal, Mod, New Romantic, Two Tone etc - they were more well defined

[Philip Kenyon 🌱 🐝 @Kenyon6Phil]

@JDEvans75 @Birmingham_81 Thanks for that, I’ll have a good read of it tomorrow 🙂

[Philip Kenyon 🌱 🐝 @Kenyon6Phil]

@Birmingham_81 But here’s my problem now I’ve looked at it.
Half the bands are Punk so are disqualified from the New Wave genre completely - it’s an oxymoron!

I feel as though I need to go on Newsnight with a panel of guests and get it sorted once and for all.

It’s becoming an obsession now

@Birmingham_81 And he sent me this ….

@Birmingham_81 So I said …..

Arrgghhhhhhhh 😭

[Philip Kenyon 🌱 🐝 @Kenyon6Phil]

@Birmingham_81 I asked my mate Steve….

Oh wow. I had the Street Level cassette up to three weeks ago. I heard about Mars Tapes in Afflecks Palace and took them all in. I no longer have any music on a cassette format. I even looked at the track listing and cover.

[Philip Kenyon 🌱 🐝 @Kenyon6Phil]

@Birmingham_81 I had an LP in early 80’s called Street Level, it was a New Wave compilation. I’d love to still have it and know what was on it, I only remember a John Foxx track.

My mind is methodical and likes to put things in neat and tidy places - hence my need to understand the genres 😅

[Philip Kenyon 🌱 🐝 @Kenyon6Phil]

@Birmingham_81 Thanks for your reply, that makes things clearer.

But…

which category are Echo + TB in?

They came out just after punk, were probably influenced by it so Post Punk, but they were also part of a wave of more sophisticated bands that took music forwards, so New Wave?

Or both?
