Joe Carnall
Sheffield
Lead Singer and Bass Guitarist of Milburn.
No Big Patterns.
There's so many choices here but I'm going for one of the all-time greats in David Bowie. Like no other, Bowie had that chameleon ability which enabled his music to constantly stay relevant over 50 years. Even in the afterlife he managed to surprise people.
The most excited I've ever been at a gig was when the Libertines played the Sheffield Leadmill in 2003. I was only 16 and feared that I'd not even make it past the bouncers. At the time they represented and defined my generation of guitar music, so it was a real 'I was there' moment. The atmosphere was electric.
The Coral have been a huge inspiration in the past as they introduced us to more psychedelic sounds of artists such as Captain Beefheart and The Electric Prunes.
I'm fascinated by the period between the first and second world wars as democracy, fascism and communism all sought to become the dominant ideology in so many European countries. It was at this point that George Orwell began making his observations. I'd love to pick his brains.
I have a lot of respect for the Ska/Two-Tone era. In the early days of Milburn we acquired a 'best of ska' record which we played all the time and the odd skank even made it into some of our early tunes. More importantly, Two-Tone came to represent multiculturalism and working class creativity in Thatcher's Britain.
Thin Lizzy because it would make our dad's so happy. They were a band that we all grew up listening to.
Mainly our parent's music collections: Thin Lizzy, The Stranglers, Talking Heads, The Beatles, Prince.
'Baby Come Back' by Pato Banton.
Bill Withers - Live at Carnegie Hall. Track - Grandma's Hands (including live intro).
'Is This It' by The Strokes from 'Is This It'.
'Into My Arms' by Nick Cave.
'Red Morning Light' by Kings of Leon.
'White Blood Cells' by White Stripes (on vinyl).
"I hate them all, I hate them all
I hate myself, for hating them
So drink some more, I'll love them all
I'll drink even more, I'll hate them even more than I did before"
'On The Other Side' by The Strokes.
'One Dance' by Drake.
'Till There Was You' by The Beatles.
(There are about 4 McCartney songs I could've picked.)
'Go With The Flow' by Queens Of The Stone Age.
'Don't Look Back In Anger' by Oasis.
I initially discounted this band because, in total honesty, I thought they looked like they cared more about their haircuts than their tunes. This is a White Album-esque cracker though.
We made our third record with Bill. He's an amazing talent. The whole album is great but this tune is so touching and beautifully written.
This has been my favourite song for about 3 years now. I think the songwriting and production on the whole album are incredible.
Something a bit different for your average indie head to listen to. Got a proper Funkadelic/Sly/Parliament feel to this yet still remains contemporary.
