Liverpool post-punk pioneers The Room are back with 'Nemesis', the potent second single from their latest album 'The Telling', presenting their trademark blend of progressive, alternative pop and sultry post-punk. As with the lead track 'The Teller', the accompanying video was produced by Mark Jordan. A magical sonic adventure for fans of 80s post-punk and folk-horror aesthetics alike.Firm favourites of the late great John Peel, The Room was formed in 1979 in the golden years of northern English post-punk. In 2023, they re-formed after a lengthy hiatus, releasing their critically acclaimed 'Restless Fate' album, their first release in 38 years. Their melodic blend of progressive, alternative pop and sultry post-punk is as fresh and relevant now as when they disbanded in 1985.Formed by singer Dave Jackson and bassist Becky Stringer, they are joined by original drummer Clive Thomas, along with guitarist Darren Brown, keyboardist Ethan Kyme, and the haunting backing vocals of Helena Jacks. 

Martin Dobson, English football's first £300,000 player, joins Chris Beesley as the latest guest on Goodison Park: My Home to relive Everton matters from the 1970s.  The 77-year-old, who has penned his own autobiography Dobo: For Club and Country, tells the story of how he went from being released by Bolton Wanderers as a teenager to an England international with Burnley and his record-breaking transfer to the Blues in 1974. The classy midfielder has a treasure trove of tails from an era when Everton had several near-misses: in the title race in Dobson's first season, in an epic three-game League Cup final against Aston Villa and a notorious FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool when they were denied a Wembley trip by referee Clive Thomas' controversial decision.  There are also plenty of more-enjoyable moments though as Dobo recalls captaining the Blues to victory in the ‘Andy King' Merseyside Derby, the 6-0 romp against Chelsea when Bob Latchford reached 30 goals for the season and another Goodison game against the west London side when his pal Duncan McKenzie scored for the opposition only for the home crowd to applaud.

The 1970s continue to produce moments that echo half a century later. Liverpool are denied the treble by Manchester United but content themselves with a first European Cup and the retention of their league title, as Kevin Keegan heads off into the sunset. Clive Thomas looms large for Evertonians, Don Revie packs his bucket and spade and trades England for the UAE, and there's skulduggery aplenty at Highfield Road in an end of season relegation battle.

We're back with part 2 of the Argentina 78 retrospective.  This episode will focus on the first group stage.  We have Argentina playing under the weight of domestic expectations, accompanied by a stench of dodgy refereeing.  We also have the relative decline of West Germany, Brazil and Holland, the unexpectedly strong performances of Tunisia, Austria and Peru, the resurgence of Italy. There's also the small matter of Scotland's craziest campaign ever, as hubris crashes into reality, Willie Johnston falls foul of the drug testers, anger spills out from the terraces…then Archie Gemmill scores a wonder goal. It's not just the players who capture the attention, with the pedantic time-keeping of Welsh referee Clive Thomas and the unravelling of Scotland's manager Ally MacLeod providing headlines during the opening phase of Mundial 78.

Clive Thomas was a referee that reached the top of the tree. He was given the responsibility of officiating some of football's biggest games including the World Cup Finals. His reputation for sticking steadfastly to the laws of the game earned him the nickname 'The Book'. However, he earned the ire of many football fans with timing of his decisions and his inflexible approach. This is the story of the referee who has gone down in Everton and Brazilian folklore for all the wrong reasons. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dave Jackson talking about life in music PLUS The Room, Benny Profane, The Room in the Wood & much much more The Room formed in 1979 with an initial line-up of Dave Jackson (vocals), Robyn Odlum (guitar), Becky Stringer (bass), and Clive Thomas (drums, percussion). Early releases on their self-financed independent label, Box Records saw the band compared to Joy Division, The Fall and fellow Liverpool band Echo & the Bunnymen, and gained them strong support from the music press and John Peel. They released a cassette album 'Bitter Reaction' in 1980 and two double A-sided singles, 'Waiting Room/Motion' (1980) and 'Bated Breath/In Sickness and Health'(1981) via Box. In 1982 the group signed to Red Flame records, debuting with the single "Things Have Learnt to Walk That Ought to Crawl", followed by first vinyl album 'Indoor Fireworks'. 1983 saw major changes to the line-up, with Odlum and Thomas departing to be replaced by ex-Wild Swans drummer Alan Wills, guitarist Paul Cavanagh, and keyboard player Peter Baker. The new line-up released the mini-album Clear! in late 1983. Brass player Phil Lucking was added to the line-up in 1984, but departed before third album, In Evil Hour, which was part-produced by Tom Verlaine,who the band had played several dates with earlier that year, the remainder produced by John Porter. An EP of tracks recorded for Saturday Live and Janice Long's BBC Radio One programme proved to be the band's final release while still together, in 1985. Clear! and In Evil Hour were later reissued as a double-LP set, titled Nemesis, and an EP of one of the band's four sessions for John Peel's programme was issued by Strange Fruit Records in 1988. Jackson and Stringer formed a new band, Benny Profane, in 1986, and later formed Dust and The Dead Cowboys. The Room's studio catalogue has since been issued on remastered CDs by LTM, with sleevenotes by Dave Jackson. Jackson released his first solo album, 'Cathedral Mountain' in 2010, recorded with John Head (Pale Fountains & Shack) and Tim O'Shea (Send No Flowers). He is currently finishing a low-budget fantasy feature film called 'Violet City' and has a book of song lyrics called 'Songs from Violet City' due to be published by Headland in 2011. The book includes some Room lyrics and the accompanying CD includes rare Room tracks.    

Brentford are now well and truly in the ‘we can judge the team' period - having played 10 league games this season. The fact that they have only won ONE of those games is a point for concern for many fans as they have opened up on social media over the past few weeks and criticised Brentford's current form. The Beesotted crew met in The Lamb and Flag pub in Covent Garden to get over the malaise of being unable to beat possibly the worst team they have played this season - Derby County the previous night. And not much to discuss except Brentford's inability to score. Derby manager Gary Rowett's analysis of where Brentford's faults were. The referee having a Clive Thomas moment - blowing the whistle mid-attack on the Derby goal. Brentford's new stadium.

Poltical Scientist Clive Thomas looks at Alaska’s dealings with the outside world past, present and future and the extent to which these international interactions have and can be a panacea for Alaska’s economic woes. In addition, he explains that, while most of state’s global interactions have been conducted with an eye to economic benefit, some have been based on cultural, educational, among other non-economic motives. Clive Thomas taught political science at the University in Juneau for thirty years. He is a Senior Fellow at the Foley Institute of Politics at Washington State University and a Visiting Professor at the University of São Paulo in Brazil. His book, Alaska Political and Public Policy: The Dynamics of Beliefs, Institutions, Personalities and Power, was published by University of Alaska Press (2016).
