RIP Pete Shelley of The Buzzcocks.
Only yesterday we were listening to this posted by Steve_O :

Sad timing but a welcome reminder that we are still listening to this stuff and his legacy lives on.

Fairly obscure outside the older music lovers, The Buzzcocks nevertheless are acknowledged as a definitively seminal band of the era.

Fave tracks;
Boredom
What Do I Get
Everybody’s Happy Nowadays
You Say You Don’t Love Me
and of course …
Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t Have Fallen In Love With)

Buzzcocks fans here too. My 15 year old does a cover of Ever Fallen In Love. I sent it to them on Facebook earlier this year. She was over the moon when they told her she did a great job. They’re on my playlists today too.

RIP James :heart: Taken by brain cancer at 66 :frowning: This is one of my favorites.

another fav.

James Ingram’s Just Once is a song that brings back very vivid memories of an old girlfriend. It’s amazing how music can pull a person back in time as though no time had gone by at all.
