ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[jaycee]

I hope Van Gaal gives Brent a lesson in tactical awareness and coaching tonight.

Getting owned by United in the final of a very high profile pre-season tournament would set the scene nicely for their forthcoming season.......

The embers of the fume would start to glow......

I want the deludes to win build up the momentum as they head towards a train wreck of a season

Brenda really likes to hear himself, reminds me of John Gregory the ex Villa manager.

The thing that scares me the most, is that it actually sounds like he put a bit of thought into that garbage...

A 'video' came on: 'Budapest' by George Ezra. In the 45 minutes I had to endure of this awful channel it was played TWICE.

Point being, in the video there was a lad in a LFC scarf with 'Pride Of Merseyside' (how ironic is THAT?) emblazoned on it. He seemed to be necking glasses of milk for some reason.

Talk about sucking up to a sick cult for music sales and popularity. By the way, the song was like those you get on adverts - dull, tuneless, and badly sung.

I despise the cult aspect of them more than pretty much anything else about them.

I was curious and checked this video out, but it's just him singing into a camera. Not sure what video you saw. This is the official one:

But agree the song is turgid ad-fodder. It's as if USA/UK musicians nowadays to be popular have to be young, sort-of attractive and sing in a fake copy of what we traditionally think of as good strong voices.

This sort of beautiful music (from Budapest no less) would never hit off in USA/UK as the musicians don't look like models and there's no guitar or autotune/plastic beats:

who are they?

who are they?

The Proclaimers. No autotune and ugly
as sin.

Plus you do realise how big Celtic and folk music is in Britain?

......and the ingredients need to be changed often, with more expensive ones and then sent out on loan to other cooks or left in the shop where we bought them.......

In failing to win the title, if you can call it that......

Throwing away the Chelsea game, if you can call it that.....

Losing a 3 goal lead, if you can call it that......

Leaving my wife, if you can call it that.....

I didn't, actually. I really like folk from Eastern Europe, specially Czech neo-folk (modern, nonchalant melancholy but with some bonkers humour and off-beat musicianship too).

Can you recommend owt?

The Hebridean Celtic Festival is usually televised and is you hear some good things there.

Mostly I just see acts at local festivals and stuff. Sometimes they are accompanied by barrels of homemade cider which could convert any pop fan to the folk scene.
