I was chatting to a 20yo girl working behind a bar a couple of weeks ago, we got talking about festivals.
She'd never heard of Glastonbury 😂
Cool for Cats
What, the song off the milk ad?
Currently playing on The Music Machine (the recently-renamed NME1) – Cool for Cats.
I have hated squeeze for years. I used to run a record shop and the owner used to wear white trainers, faded blue jeans, white t shirt and a pristine leather motorcycle jacket. And he had neatly washed medium short length hair. Utter clown.
He was a huge squeeze fan.

Solid argument, So be it: Squeeze are shite.

Wait, what?

When Rik Mayall died, I was talking about it at work and my apprentices had no clue who I was on about. I went through various roles, The Young Ones, Bottom... nothing. I resorted to an image search and the penny dropped with one of them, "oh, that's the bloke in the Bombardier advert!"

You worked with James Dean?
Anyway, the annoying and tedious Jules Holland was just the gobby keyboard player who left.
Does anyone elsel remember a very short lived TV series called Groovy Fellers, where Jools Holland went around the country with Rowland Rivron (remember him? Thought not! 😀 ) in a Rolls Royce that had the roof lowered. All I remember was people's bemusement at being involved in it, not how 'celeb' Jools H was.

Thats what he thought he looked like. But in reality he looked like someones squeaky clean dad dressed like he was going to a school pay of Grease The Musical. Or he was in Bucks Fizz.
Rowland Rivron (remember him?
Of course I do, Raw Sex were always on French & Saunders
I’d put something more mellow on if you want to unwind.
I listened to the whole of Nevermind recently. It must have been around 30 years since I played the whole album. It was all prompted by a long thread about Kurt's guitars and his missing prototype Jagstang. I very rarely listen to an entire album these days, as it's too easy to pick out the tunes you like.
Related to the OP. As a teenager, I was mercilessly ribbed by some old folks because I confused Lindsey Buckingham with Christine McVie.
Nick Drake? definitely on the never-heard list for most people, I would imagine, but very talented nonetheless.
Yeah, very talented. It is not my cup of tea (or Horlicks), but an undeniable songwriting talent.
Saw Squeeze a cpl of years ago and off to see them again later this year. I am 52 so probably still a little young for hitting them in their prime. I know most of their stuff as I used to hang out with a covers band who were a decade older than me and did a few of their songs. Pulling muscles is one top song, love it, so many memories associated with that and Up the Junction. Thank you for posting this, it has taken me on a nostalgic trip through my late teens and good times.

Yep, remember watching it but couldn't have told you what it was called and even now Groovy Fellers doesn't ring any bells but just looked it up and that is the show I remember - oh to be 21 again

Title was a play on Jools's slip up on a ad for The Tube once, where he said "All you groovy fuc.. ers" (sorry for swear avoidance, but it is a quote and hard to explain if it's just a bunch of asterisks!)
