Iāve mentioned it here previously. It was a great montage. Itās mad how a great sporting montage can completely colour your view of a song.
I wonder are the band Feeder aware of what this song represents in the minds of tens of millions of obsessive male Irish football supporters who were in their late teens or early 20s in 2002.
A fella I used to work with and would have always thought was a relatively normal square fella is a massive placebo fan. As in fucking massive. He goes away to gigs overseas with other placebo fans, mainly women, leaving his wife and kids at home. Hard to explain how out of character this appears to be when you interact with him on any other matter
What year was the fields of gold one? 99 maybe I think it was cork. The first ones I remember were so macho for hurling and poetry in motion for football in 1986. Tom cashman and Tommy Doyle
Iām kind of regretting getting a ticket to Noel Gallagher now after looking at his setlists, only on stage for 14 songs and an hour and 5 mins most nights
I thought some of the set a bit samey. A lot of Alt Americana. But would I have paid 49.90 just to have heard that rendition of under the pressure. Yes I would.
Thatās a weird one alright. They had one or two decent rock songs from what I saw, but overall Iād say they tended towards emo music for teenage girls more than anything else.
Id say they were only getting going when that cover was done. I donāt think Iād know any of their songs but always thought they were like a poppy folk band
Kraftwerk there tonight in Trinners. Great owl show. Got right up to the front and stood in front of a bass bin and had the sound waves blasting through me for the night. Bliss. Played all the greats, the holy Trinity of Radioactivity, Autobahn and Trans Europe Express but the high point of the evening was surely Tour de France.
