This album gets bad reviews in nearly every music publication there is.

I canā€™t understand it myself. Sure it is heavily influenced by Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine to the point of nearly ripping them off in some instances, but thatā€™s not a bad thing.

Iā€™ve recently become a Nick Mulvey fan. Such a smashing tune and a very handsome man.

I may not listen to the Smiths for a while but then that is all I want to listen to for a long time.

This is the second song they ever recorded. Morrissey and Marr had only recently met.

ā€˜Letā€™s write a song about the Moors Murders!!ā€™

Who does that?!!

Ok ok the joke is over. Has @iron_mike hacked @farmerinthecity account. Thatā€™s three artists in a row Iā€™v heard of. Unprecedented

No no.
I was never a coldplay or strokes fan.
Carry on

The Gloaming

:roll_eyes:

What you want is Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill by themselves away from the other shapers.

I didnā€™t ask for a review of the band, mate - I posted a particular tune that very much fits the thread title - itā€™s smashing.

Iā€™d have to agree. Seen Hayes and Cahill together and itā€™s great stuff. Also saw that other fiddle fella Caoimhain Oā€™Rhallaigh (sic) and enjoyed it. But Iā€™ve been pretty underwhelmed by what Iā€™ve heard from the Gloaming. Itā€™s trad music for hipsters.

Give them a Bothy Band album instead

Edit: thatā€™s a good tune that @ChocolateMice posted in fairness. Keep that cork weirdo iarla away and theyā€™d be fine

Itā€™s clear Farmer didnā€™t listen to it, the prick.

While iā€™m on - I love this version of Danny Boy from the Pogues -

THIS is my favourite Pogues song

Not as bad as Thomas ā€˜Dovemanā€™ Bartlett. The word shaper was invented for that clown.
