That's how terrible they are
I’d say it’s more a reflection of his elderly memory. My tip to @Live by the sea is to write things down, maybe use post-it notes.That's how terrible they are

They’ve been everywhere the last few years. Tune your radio to BBC 6 and you’ll hear them daily, hourly. The Isle of Wight’s finest export since...err...

Coloured sand.
This reflects on you, not them.
They've been everywhere, including appearances at Glastonbury, Isle of Wight, er The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon etc etc.
A week before the Brits, they won TWO GRAMMYS, ffs.

I've been given the Wet Leg a proper go over the last few days and am really enjoying it. I had it somewhat confused with the Dry Cleaning album I bought a while ago and kind of lost interest in.
Enjoyed this youtube documentary too
And found this cover of the Chats
How weird. Literally finished watching it two mins ago!
(I like Dry Cleaning, but a bit of a one trick pony sadly)

Yeah a bit samey but I like it. Will give it another spin later.
I’m often wonder if he is a wind up account or serious.
Must admit his posts have me laughing out loud sometimes

Big fan of that YouTube channel with the documentaries, saw them at Green Man about a year and a half ago, was a big fan of the songs before they were released. They’re playing arenas, they were the first act on at Green Man festival and were just happy people turned up, crazy.
KEXP, the radio station is great for decent, new music .

Older person in not understanding/refusing to recognise new music shocker.
There is and always has been some absolute shyte music around. Can't believe you even mentioned musicians from the 80s in your argument - I love a lot of music that came out of the 80s, but come on, there was also a huge amount of terrible, terrible pop music through that era especially.
The variety of music available to consume now is greater than ever. Huge amount of choice in what you listen to.
I'm no spring chicken for the record

It's a very good album. It doesn't do anything hugely new but it's full of good pop songs

If they are indeed from the Isle of White ( is it actually an island ) then I understand that’s where level 42 come from . Heard some of their music and it’s decent, far far better than wet face . Just saying .
They were formed In the Isle of Wight in 1979, Mark King the singer and bass player was born there.
Definitely an island, surely you have looked at a map of the UK and noticed the Isle of Wight, it is not far from the coast of Hampshire, it can also be seen from some parts of West Sussex.

Never noticed but as you mentioned it , yes I spot it in the map . It’s not exactly Long Island ! Mark King def is super talented not sure it’s fair to compare his talent with wet face , think they’re just chancers.
Back in the day the Brits was utter chaos. You had this, then you also had Jarvis vs Jacko with Bob Mortimer at the police station, the Prescott incident, KLF and the dead sheep and performing an Extreme Noise Terror version of their single instead of expected chart hit etc etc.
