PTSD.

 I had to wear one of these for a year and a half at primary school. Still haven't got over it.

A bit random but this wasn't a single I bought back in the day, it was a single I borrowed. (Yep, that's how old I am.) Borrowed it from PD in Mrs Phillips' double Maths class.  I still think it's their best single despite what some American New Wavers will say. I will forever associate it with Hold Me Now by The Thompson Twins . . .  another bona fide classic.

The way they woz

Cracking post over at Crying All The Way To The Chip Shop music blog.

Shout-a-long tunes, canny pictures and musings that prompts a few thoughts:

How come 9/10 black and white photographs depicting kids from Britain of yesteryear make me think of Oscar Marzaroli? Doesn't matter if its 1967 or 1977, Thamesmead or Toryglen, I think of his wonderful black and white prints and I have to resist the urge to listen to a Deacon Blue album.

Reminds me once again that I have a hankering to see Stephen Frears's 'Bloody Kids' but I've got more chance of finding a copy of Alan Bleasdale's 'Scully and Mooey' at a stoop sale in Greenpoint. (i.e No bastard chance.)

Makes me think of Ian Walker and the New Society's 'The Other Side of Britain'. But then again, the current primaries in New Hampshire make me think of that book. It's on my mind 12/7.

The number 333 and the 1979 Panini sticker album. Barry Daines, you broke my heart.
