Great Lost Tracks - An Everyday Series

Misinformed...

(No embedding allowed )

Lacking in an appreesh of the cheesy factor...

Plangently, ruthlessly biographical...

"His father’s watch
He left it in the showers
From time to time
The waste...

.. memory-wastes"

Amusing (in a determinedly non-PC kinda way)

"This is nice innit...

...gettin banished at my time of life...

What a way to spend an evenin' "

FACT!!!

Although a lot of johnny-come-lately pop-quiz afficionados will lose no time in lettin you know that middle-class, troubled, spoiled-rotten, weedy, acrylic-skinny-rib-jumper-wearin,
pain in the arse folkie NICK DRAKE! was an errant and undemonstrative brother to...


GABRIELLE DRAKE OUT OF CROSSIE!!!!! :face: :face:

...try to counter with your tobally bona fodo knowledge that the the father to both of em was the Comedy Colossus... known simply as Charlie :rendeer:

(It's completely inaccurate of course - but it will give me "The Big Laffs" just thinkin about it

Just because...

I'm done with this whole antipodean thaaang?

Right?




:face: :face:

Surely! :face:

Half-past four (slaps thigh) and still no sign of page 10!

...yet.

Has embdy seen "The Swimmer" with Burt Lancaster?

Fukkin terrifyin man

Don't have nightmares

Give em to me



I have no idea if "Oliver" is "Australian" or not.

I do know that the preevyush Ozzie/NZ stuff will have stirred up the ole angry juice in notorious nemesis of all things antipodean - Crownybhoy...

...so it's all good

It means my work here aint been in vain... ...and fer nuthin!

Doesn't it?


PAGE 10!!! YAAASSSSZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

A confession...

I know I'm fond of a bitta the ole obscurantism music-wise

But I can tellya I do have a soft spot as big as the great outdoors for prolly the biggest act in the history of popplyer music - ever!

The Fabs

Almost too good

I love this early promo clip

Properly "wacky" before the term was irredeemably sullied by wanky middle-class cunts quoting over-rated Oxbridge comedy at each other and it hadta to be changed to "Pythonesque".

Running

Jumping

Standing still...

Four scuffers newly monied enough to be able to afford a Super-8

Ridiculously exciting :o

(The gurn to the camera by John at 1.38 would break yer heart)

Wow! looks like the Housemartins based their "Happy Hour" video on that clip immo:



Always loved the Housemartins' dancing in this video.

Don't you know how to post video, Crown?

"He tried sellin his heart to the hard girls over on easy street. But they say "Johnny, it falls apart so easy - and you know hearts these days are cheap"

"Johnny's sittin on the fire-escape watchin the kids playin out in the street. He calls down 'Hey liitle hero, summer's long but I guess it aint very seet around here anymo..."

Beautiful enjambment :o


Those romannick young boys... ]

I have no idea why I find this clip so tracky-bottom-wettingly funny

Do youse?


Thanx....













































Ta!

Ye Punke Rocke

The proper stuff...

Not for tourists...



Everybody's heard....


...this one ;)

Brutally simple

Compellingly effective

Very short


A decent manifesto for Ye P.R. (c) I reckon

Filthy! :o

And that's just the production!

Turn yor radio up...

Absolutely no clue what the vidja's about

Fukkin glorious racket goin on behind it tho

"Physician heal thyselfaaah

Musician heal thyselfuuuuhh"

Weird vid

Bit arty

Mibbes the best early punk single of em all



"Evry ring-a-ring-a-ring-a-fookin-ding"

They're currently running a "Best Ever Band/Artist To Come Out Of Scotland" thread on SF Mad.

Bet these aren't in it.

Fukkin charlatans



Too short - but still incendiary

When you throw summat as big as Y.P.R. (c) into the pool of popplyer muzak...


...even (especially?) the ripples it creates seem full of pith and moment...




Western values mean nothing to her... apparently.

Not to mensh...



Singing bit...

"Woke up this morning desperation a.m.
What I've been saying won't say them again
My head's not empty, it's full with my brain
The thoughts I'm thinking
Like piss down a drain

And I feel like a beetle on its back
And there's no way for me to get up
Love'll get you like a case of anthrax
And that's something I don't want to catch"

Speaking bit...

"Love crops up quite a lot as something to sing about,
cos most groups make most of their songs about falling in love
or how happy they are to be in love,
you occasionally wonder why these groups do sing about it all the time -
it's because these groups think there's something very special about it
either that or else it's because everybody else sings about it and always has,
you know to burst into song you have to be inspired
and nothing inspires quite like love.

These groups and singers think that they appeal to everyone
by singing about love because apparently everyone has or can love
or so they would have you believe anyway
but these groups seem to go along with what, the belief
that love is deep in everyone's personality.
I don't think we're saying there's anything wrong with love,
we just don't think that what goes on between two people
should be shrouded with mystery."


If this sequence of tracks doesn't draw Aslan outta hiding, I'm gonna give up posting on this thread as a bad job
