The Cure, yes, lads from Crawley. The main guy has been very savvy with his money and investments, they are really big in France.

We could have a sub-topic, 'Bands forgotten at home - still celebrated abroad', there would be many!

It Takes a Thief theme (first and second seasons)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9o7JV1crjmg
Probably my favourite television theme. It was composed by Dave Grusin, whose other credits include the theme for St. Elsewhere and contributions to the soundtracks of films including The Graduate.
It Takes a Thief ran for three seasons on the ABC television network between 1968 and 1970 and was one of the last series in the '60s spy/secret agent genre. Robert Wagner (making his TV debut) starred as Alexander Mundy, an upscale thief working for the US government in exchange for his release from prison. Fred Astaire appeared in a few episodes as Al's father.

Kirk Fletcher at the Semaphore Workers Club.
https://youtu.be/N6hzFMtlwVI
Hiya
I like that,do you know if I can get a DVD of that gig.Looked on amazon etc and only CD's come up
I never knew Semaphore had a workers club,when I lived around there it was always the port dock bar in Port Adelaide,their wonderful micro brewery beer.Old Preacher,I think around 8% alcohol,tasted and looked like dandelion and burdoch,really nice pint .
Then The Largs hotel on the coast,famous for Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes when they were an Adelaide band
Thanks

A very HQ 'studio/live' video, given how old it is.

Something different to successions of thrash bands…
Alcest (whom you have probably never heard of) a French guy https://youtu.be/85c-P9hbmBg in the same vein as M83 who provide the music for Canal+'s series Versailles.

And Germany, and America and all other European and Asian nations judging by the crowds in Hyde Park on Saturday… Magic gig sidelined the footie for most attendees. Editors set drew the short straw on stage when the match took place. Still had a crowd of 20000+

Re: Just Some Nice Music Thread Here...Post it Here...
When was the last time you heard a song about cannibalism?
Try Silver Spoon from Sunfighter, one of my all-time-favourite albums (1971).
Grace Slick at her very best, Paul Kantner, Papa John Creach, Jack Casady and others.

They don't make them like that any more

Literal answer. Literal advice, don't bother playing it, esp if you suspect you might know the track

Some classic surf music instrumentals. All with the reverb turned up to 11, of course.

"I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight," Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart (1967)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfnlBXLHd08
A very well crafted song from a duo who knew a thing or two about coming up with pop hits. It's a shame to think that this song only went to #8 in the charts when crap like "Judy in Disguise (With Glasses)" and "Green Tambourine" was hitting #1 in the Hot 100.
"All right, Bobby, let's go!"

Late 70s punk.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J11IpgVG2I
The Damned - Melody Lee
The line was punk musicians 'couldn't play their instruments'. Well, this disproves that, and the speed...
Same track, Peel Session. Dec '78 [dazzling recording quality of coursec/o John Peel]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdTHYmBMu_k
Ditto this for musicianship, this 40+ years later from a 'rag-tag bunch of kids' shows that's not all that was going on, at all.
Follows on on auto-play to.... more

Re: Just Some Nice Music Thread Here...Post it Here...
A good old song if ever there was one DE.
WRT punk musicians "couldn't play their instruments" I've always thought there were two reasons for this to be put about in the late 70s: firstly because Punk did encourage lots of youngsters to form bands and play live prior to learning how to play to any decent standard and so, in some examples of local and regional bands it was true, and secondly because it was part of the marketing of Punk to emphasize the anti-establishment nature of the movement, and to ensure it remained diametrically opposed to the perceived pomposity of Arthurian legend concept prog rockers with their twin necked guitars and multi keyboard organs. All good fun!
In reality of course, many of the early movers in the Punk scene of '77 had been gigging since the early '70s as part of the pub rock/Hope and Anchor/Brinsley Schwarz era and who were more than familiar with both their instruments and how to perform live. The more accomplished musicians were paired with newer performers, most famously Jones and Cook who'd played together for years before being put alongside Vicious and Rotten (and Matlock previously of course), and The Guildford Stranglers being another example.
And so to my offering; I've always considered this thread with its 'nice' titular reference to rule out the more bawdy side of my record collection, so here's a more gentle offering from Genesis P. Orridge and Peter Christopherson in their post Throbbing Gristle line up as Psychic TV, and written for Genesis' first daughter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgybJiQF7Kg
Again both had been performing since the first half of the '70s but it was Punk that provided the platform for them to be heard and signed to a label. And if anyone fancies listening again, to a live version, here it is with clear visual reference to the Pandrogeny Project that was such a central tenet for Genesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKtl65HffO8
I hope this may revive memories for posters who've heard it before, and perhaps introduce others to some of the less well known corners of the Punk movement and the music it subsequently enabled.
