The Dead Kennedys

Fair play- there's a couple of clips from this session on Youtube- and to my mind they represent the high point of the punk genre.

Vacation...

Off on vacation again- see you in about 10 days.
In the meantime here's a thought provoking little clip...

The Clash- Tom Snyder Show: The Magnificent Seven, Interview, Radio Clash (1981)

Rambling thoughts...The coolest band of all time appearing on US TV in 1981.This is a bit of a lazy post- three Youtube videos- but there's something refreshing about it. No, I'm just kidding myself, being nostalgic. I'm 45 years old and I still like the things I liked when I was 15... Come to think of it how cool was Tom Snyder himself? Very cool... he was 45 when he conducted the interview...





Save us and not the whales...

Birthday greetings to cousin Adrian.

Birthday greetings to cousin Adrian.
Have a good time and think about getting those vinyls down from the loft!
Five decades:

What's Eno been up to?

The Monochrome Set- He's Frank

Show me a cooler frontman. Not vintage TMS in sound or look, but still excellent. More from these chaps later in the week...

Sham 69- You're A Better Man Than I (1979)

Sham cover the Yardbirds - I remember being mystified by this on TOTP.

Manic Street Preachers-You Love Us-Heavenly Version- (1991)

A bit of a teaser here...I'll be posting an mp3 of the Heavenly version of You Love Us later in the week.

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band-Next (1973)

This is for Adrian, who has introduced me to a lot of good music down the years. Adrian tells me that he loaned The Boston Tea Party to his mate 'H' in 1976 and he still hasn't had it back... can anybody beat this?

Patti Smith Group- Because the Night (1978)
