Nail Soup

They ripped up some 'Grease' pics at the beginning. I think the slap mime may have been a similarly two-fingered (one-thumbed?) salute to the then-unknown Level 42.

I think the main one would be "posting without reading ".... but we need a list of the others

'Like Clockwork' is a fantastic track, goes against the bad rep that they have. We cover that in my punk/new wave covers band and it's a great song to play.

Hadn't heard this before, but it was in a TV program tonight (Professor T) and properly caught my ear. I think this is the version... Peter, Paul and Mary - 500 Miles away from Home. Been giving it a couple of plays on Youtube:

Didn’t they demote their original keys player to a non-full member?

According to one of the comments on YouTube it’s Norman Wisdom’s Invaders of the Heart.😃

Just for fun - cover of PIL's Death Disco by the Top Of The Pop album people I guess this is the most post-punk song they ever did......

Thanks - I had reverb down as the prime suspect…. but I’m not often correct in these matters!

Yes, and an example of how slap can be done with taste - and does not need to be hundred notes per second .

Out of interest, what has changed from the WOS version to make it sound clearer?

Just saw this with 5 mins to spare- recorder set.

To be fair, that joke is normally told the other way round😃

It’s going into my sarcasm bank too.

I saw a clip of a Daryl interview. He related that at the first rehearsal/meeting with the band Keith came up to him and said something like " So you're one of Mick's boys". Sounded like Daryl took it in good humour and actually gets on fine with Keith.

I think SJ fits with band politics too. Daryl came from Jagger’s solo band, which rankled with Richards. Now Richards gets to bring in one of ‘his’ guys.

Good luck…. My covers band has wound down post-COVID and originals band sounds like a good path👍

This is the kind of “levelling up” that the politicians are all talking about 😀

Don’t know about deep, but if you ask a technical question on BC you’ll get a few people giving you a tip.

Ringo, eh? Now that would have been an interesting dep for the Stones!

Learn the lines as played by the previous player. That proves you can learn and copy when needed. Pick some (not all) songs you think could be different, and come up with some new lines . That proves you can contribute creatively. I'd avoid going in with suggestions about how the existing members could improve their parts........ it might be appropriate eventually but may come off as smart-@rse in an audition.

Watts, Points…. What’s the point?😀

I never knew about plekking before this thread… Am I the only one?

Indeed. No problem with Hooky’s style…. Just it’s the opposite of Dusty’s. I guess it’s just the way it goes making a news show, and good to get the subject covered at all.

Here some more recent folk carrying the post-punk torch. Shopping - Trust in Us (2020)

Here's my nomination from the Fall. Not my favourite song (although it ranks highly), but it is very post-punk and is equally likeable by fans and non-fans. Totally Wired.
