Caught up on @bangpodcast.bsky.social - brilliant stuff as ever! Threads! I watched it at the time - never again. Ste summed it all up in the @scarredforlife.bsky.social episode when he said that for years he was convinced he would die in a nuclear war - this is exactly how I felt in 1983-85
#Dolmenwood arrived on Monday. It's a masterpiece. Beautiful, evocative art, lovely presentation, a nice simple interpretation of old school rules which don't get in the way, 4 excellent scenarios and the fairytale setting has a wonderfully charming, fey, otherworldly quality.
Not sure how to PM on here! Yes I'd love them - I bought a couple of fleets from you earlier this year. Happy to pick them up at Colours if you're going..
Looking forward to the Live Aid episode. I remember it so clearly. I think it's one of those days like the death of JFK or the moon landing that is a landmark in people's memories. On a hot Saturday 14 year old me would be out playing with my friends but that day we all stayed in watching it on TV
Great episode again. I'm a card carrying Duranie...never thought of Planet Earth as a nuclear song but you may have convinced me... Also, in 1981 or 82 Simon Le Bon said 'we want to be the band to dance to when the bomb drops'. Worth a tea towel surely!?!
@bangpodcast.bsky.social Big singles that didn't appear on an album: Is There Something I Should Know? Duran Duran no.1 1983 - of course with the line 'don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war'!
