I think Irish 80s music is my favourite genre

2587

The oul cancer is great for staying in shape. I could probably use a dose of it myself before summer-time.

2588

Thereā€™s certainly some good stuff there Thraw, but Minor Detail were utter shite (and I fucking hate mime artitsts). I read a one line review of them once, I think in the Evening Herlad (the older brother who knew a lot about Irish music at the time showed me) which went basically "Minor Detail, Baggot Inn (or wherever) - Apt name for this ā€œbandā€.

One track I canā€™t find anywhwre - The Subterraneans - Slum
Has anyone seen it?

2589

Ah that song is deadly. Minor Detail are pure Alan Patridge though.
Is the Subterraneanā€™s track Irish? I know a man from Wexford who would have it, if so.

2590

It is indeed, they were a one hit wonder, but its a very good song.

2591

I requested sometime TFK poster niggledy bits to post it up somewhere. Iā€™ll keep you informed.

2592

Outstanding :clap: :clap: :clap:

This deserves this:

2593

Iā€™ve posted quite a bit of it over the long and winding course of this thread.

2594

Post it again so you lazy sod. You hardly expect me to trawl through the pages of Pukeā€™s Jessie J shite to find it now do you.

2595

Forever in your debt Thraw. Have you listened to it?

I forgot about that photo of them as well, which at the time many thought was taken by Anton Corbijn as a pisstake on the Joshua Tree photos.

2598

Iā€™ve been singing this all day, class tune.

I did of course, itā€™s brilliant. Very interesting sound they had, I have to say. Amazing outro. Seems to me the 80s was a bit of an (unheralded) golden age for Irish music. At least the bands had a bit of balls to them, until the shite singer-songwriter stuff that became so dominant from the mid to late 90s right up to James Vincent McMorrow (who I actually quite like but heā€™s hardly someone youā€™d get fanatical about like Microdisney et al)

[quote=ā€œThrawneen, post: 169433ā€]Any of our slightly older posters remember this song? (Obviously not the really elderly like Fagan and Boxty). These lads were from Sligo and played Self Aid in Dalyer. Only heard it this week for the first time and I think itā€™s absolutely brilliant.

I remember that. Time flies.
