#INSPIRAL CARPETS

[elizabear]

do we think the inspiral carpets made noel cut his hair to match whichever guy he was currently fucking or do we think he did that all on his own??

(maybe he was just scared of getting lost his first time away from home?? and he thought this would be an easy way for someone to find his owner??)

anyway he sure does it a lot tho.

INSPIRAL CARPETS – ALBERT HALLS, MANCHESTER 1 APRIL 2023

Despite coming to Glasgow, something told me that a road trip to Manchester was required when Inspiral Carpet’s UK tour was announced in October last year. The Albert Halls is one of my favourite venues and I just had the feeling that it would be a special night and I was right.

We queued up early so we could get a seat upstairs in the Albert Halls and the atmosphere built quickly with Manchester DJ Dave Sweetmore playing classic 90s indie to the expectant crowd. A short set by Wigan new boys Stanleys was great then another half hour set from Sweetmore led to an amazing sing-along that warmed the crowd up better than most support bands ever could.

The band last played live in 2015 but following the untimely death of drummer Craig Gill, they had been on an understandable hiatus. Craig was a hugely popular part of the Manchester music scene and his sudden death had sent a shockwave through the band and Manchester.

The crowd exploded as they opened with ‘Joe’, a single from 1989 and quickly rattled through a set with too many highs to mention, however ‘She Comes in The Fall’, ‘Directing Traffik’, and ‘Caravan’ were some highlights but the closing tune ‘Dragging Me Down’ was a particularly special moment. The sound of Boon’s keyboards is the thing that set the Inspirals apart from other bands in the 90s and it was great to hear live.

After the main set, the unmistakable face of Gilly was projection at the back of the stage and Clint announced that Craig’s son Levon would take the drum kit for the next song, there was not a dry eye on the crowd. Levon is about 18 and a quiet lad but did his dad proud and it was a special moment for everyone.

They ended their triumphant set with ‘Saturn 5’ and it was clear that we had just experienced a very special night that we’d remember for a very long time.

5 stars.

The only music photographer who was allowed full access throughout the imperial phase of Oasis’ career was Michael Spencer Jones who followed the iconic band from 1993, he was with them at Knebworth in 1996, and accompanied them on tours up until 1998.

From studio recording sessions, to all the backstage action in the dressing rooms and front row areas, he gained unique, intimate insight into all aspects of the band’s life...

Noel Gallagher was working with the Inspiral Carpets when he met Spencer Jones. The first photo session with Oasis was at Out Of the Blue Studios in Manchester. “I walked into the studio,” he says. “They called it a studio, it was more like a rehearsal room. They were demoing ‘Shakermaker’ with Noel playing slide guitar. I realised that it takes an unusual amount of confidence and creative freedom not to care what people think”.

Most of the pictures taken were black and white. Once the processing was complete, he took the prints down to show the band. “They were pretty impressed, and that was instrumental in securing the gig I got with them..."

The intricate relationship between Noel and Liam was key to the band’s dynamic. The public perception was that they were always falling out, even when they got on well. “They did have a strong sibling relationship,” Spencer Jones explains. “It created an interesting creative dynamic that you wouldn’t get with other bands.”

“It was a creative rivalry amongst other rivalries, it went back to childhood, and Bonehead was the mediator. Noel has said that the creative dynamic also became the very thing that ended the band. When you look at any kind of artist or bands, there is always a fault line running through that personality, whether it’s Picasso or John Lennon”.

Elevate Your Space: Patterned Carpets for Home, Office Carpet Solutions, and Durable Options

Choosing the right carpet can significantly enhance the comfort, style, and functionality of your space. Whether you're updating your home, outfitting an office, or looking for something that can withstand daily wear and tear, understanding your options can help you make the best decision. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of patterned carpets for home use, delve into effective office carpet solutions, and highlight durable carpets that are built to last.

Patterned Carpets for Home: Style and Versatility

Patterned carpets add a unique touch to home decor, offering a versatile design element that can transform any room. Here’s why patterned carpets are a great choice for your home:

Design Flexibility: Patterned carpets come in a wide range of styles, from classic geometric designs to contemporary abstract patterns. This flexibility allows you to choose a carpet that complements your existing décor or serves as a statement piece in your room.

Hides Wear and Tear: One of the practical benefits of patterned carpets is their ability to mask dirt and wear. The intricate designs and colors help to conceal stains and foot traffic, making them an ideal choice for high-traffic areas like living rooms or hallways.

Creates Focal Points: Patterned carpets can serve as a focal point in a room, drawing attention and adding visual interest. They are particularly effective in spaces where you want to create a dynamic and engaging environment, such as a family room or a home office.

Customization Options: Many patterned carpets can be customized to fit your specific design preferences. From choosing the color palette to selecting the pattern scale, you can tailor the carpet to suit your individual style.

Office Carpet Solutions: Combining Functionality and Style

In an office setting, carpets must balance durability with professional aesthetics. Here are some key considerations for selecting the right office carpet:

Durability: Office carpets need to withstand high foot traffic and the occasional spill. Carpets made from durable fibers like nylon or polypropylene are ideal for this purpose. They offer resistance to wear and tear, stains, and fading, ensuring your office space remains looking professional over time.

Low Maintenance: Opt for carpets that are easy to clean and maintain. Solutions like stain-resistant treatments or carpets with built-in stain protection can help keep your office looking fresh and presentable with minimal effort.

Acoustic Benefits: Carpets can help reduce noise levels in an office environment, creating a quieter and more productive workspace. This is particularly beneficial in open-plan offices where sound absorption can improve overall comfort.

Design and Color: While functionality is key, office carpets should also align with the company's brand and aesthetic. Choose colors and patterns that reflect your brand’s identity while maintaining a professional look. Neutral tones are often favored, but subtle patterns can add a touch of sophistication without being distracting.

Durable Carpets for the Home: Long-Lasting and Reliable

Investing in durable carpets ensures that your flooring can handle the demands of daily life while maintaining its appearance. Here’s what to look for in durable carpets:

High-Quality Materials: Carpets made from high-quality materials such as nylon or wool offer superior durability. Nylon, in particular, is known for its resilience and ability to retain its shape even under heavy use.

Dense Construction: The density of a carpet influences its durability. Carpets with a higher density, meaning more fibers per square inch, are generally more durable and better at resisting wear and tear.

Resistance to Stains and Soil: Durable carpets often come with stain-resistant treatments or built-in stain protection. These features help the carpet resist spills and stains, making it easier to clean and maintain.

Proper Padding: Using high-quality padding under your carpet can extend its lifespan by providing additional support and cushioning. Padding helps absorb impact and reduces wear on the carpet fibers.

Choosing the Right Carpet for Your Space

Selecting the right carpet involves balancing style, functionality, and durability. Patterned carpets bring aesthetic appeal and versatility to home decor, while office carpet solutions focus on combining durability with a professional look. For the home, durable carpets offer long-lasting performance and reliability, making them a smart investment for high-traffic areas.

At Carpet Trends, you can explore a wide range of options that cater to your specific needs. Whether you’re looking for patterned carpets to enhance your living space, office carpet solutions to create a professional environment, or durable carpets that stand up to daily use, our collection has something for everyone.
