Mine is the Vaccnes, brings together my love indie, punk and rock and roll, there is quite a bit of the Ramones in there but its also very simple pop music.

I do think some of their tracks do sound similar so I am not sure if they will have another successful album but the band is my favourite new band of 2011. Not been able to see them yet as nobody wanted to go with me when they first came out, and now they do all their shows are sold out.

When we moved here, we went from a band D to a band C property, mainly due to being out in the middle of nowhere and so having no council services at all, apart from Bin Dusty.

Oh, you mean groups!

Best new band of 2012 perhaps?

(interview with James McCartney, son of Paul)

Q. What would you say to forming The Beatles - The Next Generation, with Sean Lennon, Dhani Harrison and Zak Starkey [Ringo Starr's son]?

I don't think it's something that Zak wants to do. Maybe Jason [another of Starr's sons and also drummer] would want to do it. I'd be up for it. Sean seemed to be into it, Dhani seemed to be into it. I'd be happy to do it.

Q. Has it been mooted?

Yeah, a little bit.

Q. Do you think it could happen?

Yeah, hopefully, naturally. I don't know, you'd have to wait and see. The will of God, nature's support, I guess. So yeah, maybe.

I haven't had a favourite new band or singer for several years now. Everything written or sung now is just carp.

Blimey and I get the mick taken out of me because I am old and most the bands I like are old... :D

John Peel was lets just say slightly older and he was into a lot of new bands. I know what you mean though as you get old you tend to find it harder to get into new bands.

>> find it harder to get into new bands.

Peely was always young at heart, in touch with the younger generation - he had a new band addiction, and always liked the underdog. Then when some of them would become famous he'd still like them but never needed to steal the limelight and shout from the rooftops that he'd got them on air - modest through and through. I still miss that voice.

New bands - I liked Metronomy and Beirut, but Mark Riley on 6music played this number the other day. Comes from Kenny Everetts 'Worst songs' album, but it's darkly hilarious. And not exactly new.

I don't think that is the case, lots of good new stuff out there, but it doesn't mean its popular. Most the stuff in the charts is utter crap.

That said older music will always be better than new music, as we have had from 2012 60 years of 'pop' music.

A mere £4.69 for the CD from Amazon, or just £3 for the download.

Could have posted this in the bargains thread:

I would just like to apologise to any neighbours that lived within 5 miles of my council flat in S.E. London in the 1970's when I used to play this record at full volume on my Rotel amp / Pie on ear PL12D / Ortofon / Celestion Dittons etc., etc.

Eh, sorry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcPGtxUqAVU

Band called Aerials Up, my nephew is in them, have been slowly but surely rising to prominence and recently supported Snow Patrol as well as being at the last two T in the Parks.

Think 2012 will be the make or break year for them.

I find these people are rather bouncy. I predict things for them.

Miss 600, yeah, winsome babe too.

Pity about the numbers though, bland, modern and too cool by half. The girl can sing, and ought to be allowed to.

Perhaps I'm just old fashioned.
