Virtual Jukebox

Sad to hear Pete Shelley has died at such a young age.

Here are the Buzzcocks with Ever Fallen in Love:

Yes sad indeed, I was sixteen when that was on tv, feels just like yesterday. Sat in front of the tv waiting to see who was number one in the hits, there was only one top ten back then.

Top of the pops sold out when the artists were forbidden to play or sing and told to mime.

Some did rebel by making it sooo very obvious they weren’t actually playing it live.

a real shame as it had varied types of artist. 

My very best favourite tv music programme was The Old Grey Whistle Test. That had new unknown artists as well as top artists playing one after the other. 

Thank you sunflower for waking this fantastic thread up.

It brings joy to so many , me included. () take care.

Thank you ) (ah yes The Old Grey Whistle Test, there was NME too, which my brother used to buy and I would borrow. We had some wonderful independent record shops, one of which started as a market stall. I used to love browsing vinyl and buying random records. 

Here is another Pete Shelley song which I find hypnotic and relaxing to listen to: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0G8tTjSrm3g&feature=youtu.be

I am glad you enjoy the virtual jukebox. Thanks are due to Disambiguating Cynosure who mentioned in another discussion about keeping threads going. They quickly get lost with so much activity on the forum. ()
