I officially began my UK Themed Black Douglas Vale today and only music will be played during train activity. 

Very nice! I was wondering about the time of your post, but I see you are in the US. But then EtchedPixels came in soon after, burning the midnight oil!!

Probably my favourite Half Man Half Biscuit song except maybe Trumpton Riots

I believe John Peel was a great exponent of HMHB. I used to hear them pretty regularly on one of his shows.

I can't remember if The Waterboys have featured on here before?

Mrs PP and I saw them at Glastonbury in about 2005 or thereabouts and very good they were too.

Here they are a few years later on the Isle of Wight with what is possibly their best known offering:

@port perran That's the only Waterboys track I have ever heard

Aren't you lucky 

Catching up!

Roxy Music - yes from a great album
Boz Scaggs - er not his best
Nirvana - no a bit weird (even for me)
Sixpence... - almost a no
Dracula - yes until the vocals kicked in
Half Man Half Biscuit - oh crumbs a definite no
Waterboys - OKish
Kraftwerk - sounds the same as everything that they do

I haven't heard Kraftwerk in a few decades.

Not heard that before @Stingray. Quite like it, so while we are in 80s electronica mode how about this...


Claire was at her best in the 80s (IMO) and is still performing today.

Seeing them in June at the Royal Albert Hall

I thoroughly enjoyed "Europa Endlos" and the film that accompanied it. Thanks @Stingray.

A very old Kraftwerk track from the 1970s Vertigo sampler album 'Suck it and see'
