@RichardS7370 #5albums80sfinal Hi Richard, so much cure and smiths to choose from but we all know the roses will win. But which roses?
1 The Cure - Disintegration
2 Springsteen - Nebraska
3 Guns n Roses - Appetite
4 The Smiths - Queen is dead
5 Wedding present - George Best

@nee_massey How about Belle Vs Sebastian?

[Darren Smith @d_j_smith]

@Sallystardust1 Two playlists? Then they'll have to faff about switching to the second one which sort of recreates faffing about taking the cassette out and turning it over.

[Darren Smith @d_j_smith]

@lonesomebluejay I've seen this in the blue sky place so will feedback there once I've had a listen.

[Darren Smith @d_j_smith]

@lonesomebluejay I'm not aware of them but regularly have Americana, alt country and jangly periods. I'll check them out.

[Darren Smith @d_j_smith]

So after some effort I'm on blue sky as @dazegazer.bsky.social. As real names are old hat. Now to refollow you all and like 10 posts.

[Darren Smith @d_j_smith]

@Top10Nathan Do you know about ex:re a solo album produced a few years back. I liked that too but it never stuck with me either.

[Darren Smith @d_j_smith]

Will need to think of a handle for that blue sky place.

[Darren Smith @d_j_smith]

@ClaireLDobson @SeaOfDays I'm seeing so many of these posts I'll have to check it out otherwise I'll soon have no music recommendations.

[Darren Smith @d_j_smith]

May try out the other social media site if I can bothered to figure it out and think up a handle and new password.

[Darren Smith @d_j_smith]

@hand_oul @Top10Nathan Me neither given the patchy wild mood swings. I guess the clue was in the title with that one.

[Darren Smith @d_j_smith]

@SeaOfDays Sorry to hear your news. I think we all knew a juggling dreadlocked friend back then. Good choice of music.

[Darren Smith @d_j_smith]

Never seen comments about this one. Mixed up was the first cure album I ever bought and so I heard these versions before some of the originals. It's fairly chilled as cure albums go but I never play it so rectifying that now.

[Darren Smith @d_j_smith]

@SeaOfDays Google calendar is your friend here. Other reminder apps are available. Happy anniversary.

[Darren Smith @d_j_smith]

@SeaOfDays Yes I saw bill Ryder Jones at the Barbican recently which was all seated. It's the way forward.

[Darren Smith @d_j_smith]

@CriticalWax @SeaOfDays You're ahead of the curve. I love edge of the deep green sea too. Seems to be a staple in their set list now.

[Darren Smith @d_j_smith]

This is the way to do it kids. A good 6 or 7 mins of intro before you even think about coming in with vocals.

[Darren Smith @d_j_smith]

@SeaOfDays We'll be buying seated tickets next.
