Poptastic stuff tonight.

My, and there I was thinking that they'd be pioneering an evening of smut

 

[Icy Gull]

Never GOT Gary Numan

86-96 should be worth a watch though.

 

[LANGDON SEAGULL]

Cheers for the heads up

A mate of mine went to a Gary Newman concert the other week, it looked and sounded pretty good on his phone to be fair. Never really liked him but with a big band sound his stuff seems to have evolved, a bit like a cover sounding better than the original. He is certainly not quite as synth as what I remember that's for sure.

Edit:

Actually I'm wrong, he's still shit:

And don't forget that Citizen Khan is on at 8:30 you would not want to miss that comic feast would you.

Just checked this and El Pres has omitted to tell you that before this pop fest and starting at 2100 is the story of Paul Simon's Graceland album which is of much more interest to me and possibly some other older NSCers

I'm in, thanks

Watched it. Fantastic

If you like that sort of thing - and even better, were there - google footage of Sterns in Worthing... immaculate

I'm not a fan of his music but I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. Well worth a watch.

Always a sign of a good documentary. I remember watching the Senna film and I have no interest in F1, but it was a superb piece of work.

Why older NSC users? Numan had come and gone (as far as major chart success goes anyway) years before the Graceland album came out.

This Friday there is the story of UB40 which should be good

Yeah but Paul Simon is proper old school, I can't imagine many Numan fans like Paul Simon, totally different type of music and more likely to be older ( I actually mean old don't I ?) fans that like PS. Maybe I'm wrong but to paraphrase a very bizarre comment made about Paul Simon on another thread, Numan is a one trick pony IMO, maybe that has made me too biased against the dull pale face.

To be honest, most Gary Numan fans will be getting on a bit now.

Having just watched the documentary, it's a touching love story. His wife has had to put up with a lot.

It was and it seems she has. I found it surprisingly moving and it was good to see their marriage and his music flourishing after so much tribulation.
