you can refer to the post above as well.

from Omicrom yes. Which is now basically just flu. Thankfully for you Australia was protected from the more deadly variants before there were any vaccines. It never properly hit your shores until vaccines had been developed and the strains had waned to nothing. This is the point you continually miss. Had you been in the UK which was an absolute disaster with 1000s dying a day and 1000s of people of all ages on ventilators in hospital your overarching view of this virus might be different. (100% agree that kids under 15 were never really badly affected and should never have been vaccinated)

Far too laid back and ballad heavy for my liking. Really like tracks Heartbeat, Brooklyn & Change Your Heart. Most of the rest is Zzzzz 😴

sweden, Finland & Denmark have lower populations than London. If those countries were faced with 2000 deaths a day and no vaccine they would 💯 lockdown. Covid is now just a normal flu strain and not in any way overly harmful (even though I've got long covid which is f annoying) so no country should have any restrictions anymore. It pales against the original strains. However, if there was a new virus with no vaccine again and deaths starting stacking up, of course countries would lock down.

not when they are faced with 2000 deaths a day like in the UK. Lockdown would be imposed 💯

I have to agree - I am 100% sure that the UK government feel that the initial lockdown not only helped in curbing the spread of the virus but also saved 1000s of lives - especially amongst the old and vulnerable sections of our population. If there was another deadly outbreak of a virus for which there was no vaccine then I would bet absolutely that they would lockdown again without any hesitancy.

top 10 for me so far in no order Treat Ronnie Atkins Degreed Dan Reed Network Kissin Dynamite Ghost Reckless Love Crashdiet Cats in Space Muse

79-83 are all great years with many classic albums but it's the sheer volume of great releases in 1989 and prob 1990 too which make them special.

I get the appeal of vinyl - cover art, sound quality etc, but cassettes?? err no. Tangle too easily, really inconvenient to find tracks, sound not great.

1989

all their best songs are on Jump the Gun. partners in Crime, Dont settle for less, Over and Out, Savage ....... one of those.

nope I pretty much think a lot of fans would be shaking their heads too. at the end of the day I guess it's just how it done - Dua Lipa pretty much aces every video she does, looks sexy as fuck and everyone loves it. I'm afraid Chezs vid just falls in the slightly tacky territory with stills of her arse with demin disappearing to infinity - its like Femme Fatale all over again. Like I said I couldn't give 2 shits - happy to ogle it once but I have no desire to return to it - surely that's the point of a video to watch it over and over again and I think this video will not attract repeat views from a lot of her fans IMHO

anyone can judge whatever they want. That's life and that's a fan's right. As I said I don't care what she does and am perfectly happy to stare at her arse but it will put a lot of fans off as it was pretty cringe and tacky in the 80s and is even more so now.

Video doesn't bother me one bit. but I do kinda get the comments around why she's doing it. Doesn't need to. Let the songs do the talking

slim pickings in 1994 but these got extensive play time - 1. Brett Walker - Nevertheless 2. Atlantic - Power 3. Cliff Magness - Solo 4. Sass Jordan - Rats 5. Steve Perry - Strange Medicine

love it. Dark and moody. Can wait for album and tour in 2023 hopefully

I heard about half of this I think in 2019 as an EP, but glad they have now released as a full album. mighty fine it is too

Well I absolutely love that Can't wait for this land. Overland sounds amazing on those 2 tracks

0x worked best for me

(nice solo tho)

up there for certain

Erik covering his own songs now 🤣 They should got this dude to sing for them, sounds better than heavily accented Kenny

it currently stands for having. eagerly. another. try (but failing dismally)

loved both tracks so far.
