One of my oldest Kdrama experiences, around when I started watching them in earnest in the early 2020s. I thought a lot about it then and I still think about it now. Heartbreakingly special. Great cast, cinematography, story, dialogue, direction. Yes, you are correct. 10 out of 10.

I do! A nice live postcard of the Wire 3.0 era (compact though it was) in the first half of the 2000s. Wish I could have seen it in the flesh!

Despite recognizing any number of great albums from 1987, while trying to compose a top 10 for @notesonnoise.bsky.social , I couldn't get past a personal top 5. And one was an Ellington retrospective. Not my year as a record nut, I guess. Weirdly, 86 & 88 were great years for me!

So anyhooze, a couple of nights ago I went to the OCCII @occii-stu.bsky.social in Amsterdam. I saw some old musical pals of mine in their band Dead Bob. Had a blast watching them & catching up with John, Ford and Colin & meeting Byron and Kristy and the rest of the crew. Check ‘em out folks!

Insane how many good records they made. If I were to make a list, (mini-LP? long EP?) Read & Burn 01 would easily be in the top 5. An totally unexpected, pivotal moment for me personally.

Great piece, by @jackasspath.bsky.social . Spot on. Horrific. Enjoyable. The Goodbye Cruel World poster (at the end of the post) was on my bedroom wall as a pre-teen along with a Bullwinkle "Eat your heart out Burt Reynolds!” one & a poster of the cops looking down through a hole in the ceiling. 🙃

Made a top 10 of 1980 for @notesonnoise.bsky.social the day before yesterday and, sure enough, like every single time I make a list, I forgot something. I FORGOT THIS! I’m so ashamed. Turn up the volume. Volume is pleasant.

Into The Music. Even my cynical atheist self couldn’t deny the reli-swing appeal of Full Force Gale (complete with Ry Cooder bottleneck solo!) How could I not love a record which included the lyrics: "I heard them say that you can have your cake and eat it But all I wanted was one free lunch"

Klein rijtje band-cassettes van bevriende bandjes en Rough Trade NME comp. Pandemonium wilde geen plaat uitbrengen, vonden ze gedoe. De Franse heruitgave van AK is prachtig in 'electric blue'. Een zijde leeg zodat je zelf (volgens oude traditie) iets op kon nemen. Dat doe je toch niet weg :^)

Row of cassettes from Bands. From Pandemonium, Mauser FK, Stunt Elvis, Show Business Giants, Giblit, Pigment Vehicle, Sovlhead, Andy Kerr, Hissanol, NMN, NME Rough Trade

Eerste compilation cassette van NME / Rough Trade. Op de voorkant een robot achtige figuur uit cassettes gemaakt.

Twee cassettes van de punkband uit Venlo Pandemonium. DIY gemaakt, met stempels.

Or was it punk funk? 🤔 Hehe… I was lucky enough to finally see Bum live a few years back when we were on vacation in Valencia of all places. They were great!
