Taylor Swift | |
| News |
Swift kicked off the first
night of her hotly awaited Reputation tour last night at the University of
Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, in front of 60,000 fans, and for the
most part she went epic, with giant inflatable cobras, pyro, multiple
stages and hordes of dancers. As always, she leaned hard into the new
material, doing almost everything on the new Reputation (the one she left
out was "So It Goes"), yet with her own uniquely intimate touch. |

Official announcement
Simple Minds are
delighted to announce that they will tour North America in September and
October 2018, playing two full sets featuring iconic songs spanning their
whole career and including tracks from the new album Walk Between Worlds! Not a great fan of Jim Kerr himself but a big fan of early Simple Minds. Only two originals left now. Hopefully the tour will come to the UK |

Official announcement The second North American Savage Tour will start on Sep 4th. We’ll be playing 27 shows in total, many of them in places we weren’t able to get to on the first North American Savage tour in 2017. This flyer lists 26 of those shows but there is one festival date still to be added as soon as they make their own official announcement about the line up. The support for this tour will be the excellent Nightmare Air. A bit far for me to travel so I wont be at this one. |

| Audio - Marilyn Dreams |

Released in 1981 this was
the song that got my attention Once the major record labels got hold of them their output dipped in quality |

Gary Numan | |
| Live - Pyramid Centre, Portsmouth |
 |
|
|
Return leg of his 2017 tour
and Gary Numan opens at the Pyramid Centre. As per usual the legend does not disappoint, nice to see This Wreckage get a play as well. No appearance of his daughter this time on My Name Is Ruin as she did at Brighton, I guess she has to go to school occasionally. A very good support act in the form of Nightmare Air, they will require some looking up. |

The Slow Readers Club | |
| Video - I Saw A Ghost |
 |
|
|
Released in 2015 from their
album Cavalcade Saw them support James on tour but down to a two piece that night and I wasn’t impressed. Looked them up as a full band and loved them. |

Adam Ant | |
| Live - Portsmouth Guildhall |
 |
|
|
Saw the rather good Adam Ant
at the Portsmouth Guildhall. Always a bit of a concern when you see the “old-timers” trying to relive their youth but he was good, only the poor sound system which made his vocals indistinct marred the performance. Personally I only knew about 1 in 4 of the songs but still a good show |

Charli XCX | |
| Video - Vroom Vroom |
 |
|
|
Released in 2016 This is a slightly odd song that does grow on you Of course Charli in some very tight and very revealing clothing does nothing to influence my choice |

Disturbed | |
| Video - The Sound Of Silence |
 |
|
|
Released in 2015 from their
album Immortalized Probably the best Simon and Garfunkel cover I've ever heard. Heavy metal not really my thing but he can belt out a tune. |

The Beloved | |
| Video - Satellite |
 |
|
|
Released in 1996 from their
album X Dance music is not rally my thing but I like this and the implied nudity is always a good selling point |

Chvrches | |
| Video - Leave A Trace |
 |
|
|
Released in 2015 from their
album Every Open Eye I’m usually a person stuck in the 80s so it’s nice to have a new band that grabs my attention. The right mix of electronics and a very cute singer in Lauren Mayberry |

Lorde | |
| Video - Tennis Court |
 |
|
| Released in 2013 from
her album Pure Heroine I got into Lorde after hearing Janet Devlin do a cover of "Royal" She has a very original style and you can't get a much more minimalist video than this. |

Tina Barrett | |
| Video - Fire |
 |
|
|
Released in 2012 My favourite member of S Club 7 if I had to pick one. She has some good moves. Although I'm not a professional producer by any means but I have to say whoever programmed/mixed the drums on this should go back to school. Far too loud and busy. |

Selena Gomez | |
| Video - Good For You |
 |
|
|
Released in 2015 from her
album Revival There is another version of this song that has a terrible and misplaced rap at the end. Thankfully not this version |

Taylor Swift | |
| Video - Style |
 |
|
|
Released in 2015 from her album 1989 I originally posted the Victoria Secrets show version which had the addition of lots of scantily clad lingerie models but it's difficult to find a version with good audio |

Emily Kinney | |
| Video - Rockstar |
 |
|
|
Released in 2014 Emily Kinney best known for "The Walking Dead" can sing a bit as well My interest in Emily Kinney has lasted a lot longer than my interest in The Walking Dead |
