There's not one band that won't reform, except for the 'previously really successful ones', it seems.

Just watching "England's Irie" there..
Forgot that Keith Allen was on that.
Didn't forget that that was Joe Strummer's only appearance at the TOTP studio!

I dug out "It's Great..." the other day for the first time since the nineties... you know, for old times sake. It really hasn't aged as badly as I expected. Shake Your Money should've been a single. What was with the quasi-religious imagery in his lyrics (with this band and HM?)

Still a great album. Played it last year. They were great live the 3 times I saw them before and after it came out. Never heard he 2nd album.

Don't! It's worse than Yes Please.

(nb Yes Please doesn't suck, but the lack of engagement hit harder and faster this time.)

Amused to see this is all in aid of a "Greatest Hits" album.

Shake Your Money should've been a single.
did exactly the same earlier this, using spotify and YES shake your money is brilliant and should really have been a single

I always felt like Black Grape accomplished what the Mondays tried to do the entire time.

Aye, It's Great... is fantastic; really fucking awesome production too, from memory. Great drum sound, great bass, plenty going on but all very sharply funky.

It's Great when you're straight is the best album shaun ryder ever made.

I feel like I really ought to hear this band more. Why do I never hear them anywhere ever??

I really really like 3 of the songs on Stupid Stupid Stupid - "Get Higher", "Marbles", and "Money Back Guaranteed"

they released a new album in 2017!?? why didn't anyone tell me?
― frogbs, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 04:57 (three years ago) link
and one in 2024!

Often fascinated to find out what a band like Black Grape could possibly be doing in 2024. In an alternative universe they could have been on a level with Gorillaz

Well... take Shaun Ryder out of this and it's a certifiable funky pop record. He does kind of ruin it though
― ...eh you get the gist of it (dog latin), Thursday, 1 February 2024 14:53 (three months ago) link
It's great... is indeed, a great album.
― B. Amato (Boring, Maryland), Thursday, 1 February 2024 15:13 (three months ago) link
so what happened here did Ryder hear a Sleaford Mods tune and go "oh damn I guess it's my time to shine" ??
― frogbs, Thursday, 1 February 2024 15:53 (three months ago) link
Ohhhh my radar didn't pick up on this one! I love Shaun Ryder's lyrics
xp uh oh, he's been listening to Sleaford Mods? dammit

hahaha I have no idea, just wondering if he heard a tune by them and thought wildly off key middle-aged British men were in again
checked out 3 tunes from this on YouTube, sounds pretty good! I remember liking the 2017 album too, tracks come up on shuffle and I'm always like "wait what is this?" But then Shaun comes in...

Any indication of who the “band” is this time? Youth and Otherorbbloke again?
― bae (sic), Thursday, 1 February 2024 18:38 (three months ago) link
kind of wonder who is writing/producing the music, surely it's not Ryder...?
