As a Football club, Leicester have a lot in common with the DIY music genre, like; Lack of Ambition, working on a minuscule budget, poor skills made up for by honest passion, all played out in front of a small but fanatical audience.
Unlike DIY music, following Leicester City is not a choice,as this is the place of my birth.Choosing to support Man United,would be like buying One Direction singles above a Danny and the Dressmakers cassette,just a no-brainer!?
Especially now that Man United will never win the Premership for at least another twenty years!
YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!......its full time, Bolton 0 - 1 Leicester!
We are the champions.......and as you can see from the handy table above, local rivals Derby are stranded in the play-offs, and the reprehensible Forest are doomed to stay in the Championship for alllll eternity...Pleease!?
(I had better update this!....for anyone who lived in a cave for the last three years.....Leicester defied the odds and actually WON the premier league in 2016!!!!...by ten points only losing three games all season!!!....only now am I able to cope with this information!....i better stop typing before i start crying again!)
Final Premier League Standings 2015/16
Pos Team P W D L GF GA GD Pts
1 Leicester 38 23 12 3 68 36 +32 81
2 Arsenal 38 20 11 7 65 36 +29 71

6 Manchester United 38 18 9 10 46 34 +12 63
Therefore, I will now dedicate the following days to Bands/artists from this fair city, as a celebration.Starting with the legendary "Where the Hell is Leicester Compilation from 1981.
(Note for Americans: Football = Soccer, and Leicester is pronounced - Less- ster, not, Lie - cest - er!)
At the time of this compilation lp,Terry 'the housewives favourite Radio 2 DJ' Wogan's current running joke was........ ,and it is hilarious, that nobody knew where Leicester was! As with most 'jokes' there is a certain element of truth involved in this, as most people don't really know where it is,and they all think we (yes i am from Leicester,and i know where it is), speak with a Birmingham accent(the brummy accent stops after Coventry at the end of the M69 ,and before Hinckley). Hence the title of this record.
Leicester always had a thriving music scene, producing such greats(*I'm being ironic here) as Family, Kasabian*, Yeah Yeah Noh, Prolapse, Gaye Bikers On Acid, Crazyhead, Volcano The Bear, Bomb Party, Basement Jaxx, Englebert Humperdinck, Scouts of Uzbekistan, and the greatest of the lot, Showaddywaddy. Also represented on this comp are the groops on the edge of it all, including DIY legends, The Deep Freeze Mice; who even feature on the annoyingly trainspottery Nurse With Wound list. But i am mystified at the absence of anything from cassette legends The Midnight Circus ( see previous post of Angst In My Pants)and,or, The Barron Balls!. Not quite in the league of the two Manchester compilations posted earlier,but it has its moments, like the 'Modern Living' track, and Ronnie Slicker and The Banditz,etc.
"Where the Hell is Leicester?"......in the facking Premier League Mate!

Massive congrats to all Leics and may you spread a bit of sanity in the PL madness. God knows there's little of it at the top end. All the best LC!!
Congratulations to Leicester City for their win.
As far as this record goes, I believe that I got it from DIYORDIE v1 and wasn't particularly impressed (I promise to revisit sometime in the near future), though it was still nice to put a sound to a vision.

I know what you mean Bill. personally I would prefer to just win the league and stay in the championship,but it makes a change to play someone different. It does mean we are on Match of the Day and i don't have to stay up so late to watch the Football league show....even later in France cus we are one hour ahead!
Ahn Die or DIY v.1, them was the days!
