Everything Else / Re: Billy Idol is back!

Ha!  Looking into getting a ticket for that one.

Now, wasn't there a thread previously about how 'Green And Grey' was somehow about Billy Idol?  I somewhat poo-pooed the idea but seeing as I'd never put the two acts together then perhaps there was something in it?

Funnily enough I saw a tribute act to The Jam called 'The Jam'd' a couple of weeks ago.  Do see them if you get chance, they were excellent.  I hadn't listened to anything by The Jam in a while but they reminded me of how superb that band was, yes they played the usual hits but plenty of deep cuts as well and it's led me to listen once again to the full output of this great band...

I'd certainly say that they were one of the ten best ever bands from the UK.

The first good news of 2025??

According to a comment i've read today on the Unofficial NMA Facebook page:

"Local indi record store told me last week, that all NMA back catalogue is being re-release early next year on vinyl from original masters. He has Stange Brotherhood first press on vinyl at 250. Vinyl releases from Rough Trade apparently."

TIAGD is/was on Discogs for a measly €506. Not sure why the €6. €500 too little, €510 too much?
