There was a terrific book about Dublin subcultures published about 10 years ago.
I think if @Mindysan33 could find a copy, you’d really dig it.
This is a shot from the book with my buddy Noel front and centre at a courier thing around 1990 or so…

I’m not particularly well versed in Irish accents! Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks, I’ll try and dig it up! It’s very relevant to my current interests!

They got it right with Living Colour over 30 years ago. Is this one step forward, two steps back?

I think that depends on whether the article is on a real nomination of a real band, or if it’s instead an Onion-like satire on white supremacy in the music biz. The article reads more like the latter to me. (And I suppose that in the time it took me to write that, I could’ve Googled the band to find out.)

Or scrolled down to the comments. It’s “satire.”

Wow, thanks, never heard of them. I especially hear the influence on Pizzicato 5, but also on Beck.

Thank you. I never heard of this Mr. Jones project, but now I’ve been listening to their albums a lot.

Love the Free Design. I got lovely 10” pastel coloured record reissues in Barcelona maybe 20yrs ago. Heard this the other week and it really made me think of the Free Design.

I “discovered” them through a Spotfy playlist of songs that in one way or another appeared on an American TV show. It’s not the same thing, but it made the same impression when I first heard Mutantes. While there is that zeitgeist from the 1960s, they still sound modern and fresh.
Thanks for the tip. I will check these guys too.

Well everyone was listening to Brazilian music back in the 6Ts!
I love this version, I first heard it on a Gilles Peterson comp of Brazilian music I got back in the 9Ts. So I have to put this here:
And this, this song heralds summer in our house. The first warm sunny Saturday and this gets blasted out
