This is mesmerising. The link will work if you click 'watch on youtube'. There is no swearing, nudity or extremism. Tom guards his copywrite closely. The photo is of a French crowd celebrating the end of WWI.

I have that album, quite a tough listen, but they were a great band. Unfortunately when they toured the UK they supported punk bands .... the punks didn't get them at all.
Alan Vega died a few years back, but I recommend his last albums 'Mutator' and 'After Dark'
enuff of my wafflin
Thanks for that. I will check those albums out.
I took that Suicide album to a party in around 1978 in a big posh house east of Crawley. I played only the one track. Yes, you can guess which. It freaked everyone out and triggered further peculiar events at the party. Very peculiar indeed. The house was owned by parents of a lad who went on to work in the news media (I'll be vague about the details) and who, many years later, hanged himself after it emerged he had fabricated story. I was quite upset about that. I still listen to Saturn Drive (amazing track) but generally give Suicide a swerve.

Blimey HWT, that trumps me dropping my copy into a Cheshire Charity Shop. I'm guessing the track was Frankie Teardrop? Not really Party Music...
Previously posted the single/video, but this live version at Ally Pally is out of this world. The crowd feels it. Sam feels them. It's emotional. Hands down, my single of the year.

Indeed. I was in full performance art mode, with a bedazzled audience by the end of it.
Then I put on The Damned, and host's sister (nnnnnnineteen) asked me to show her what we oiky punks did to said music. I threw her about a bit, full 'on the floor at the Roxy' rolling about mock violent mayhem, then I dumped her on a sofa. The legs then clamped on to me . . . My GF had to prize her off, the quivering limpet of unbridled lust.
I think I may have been in there

After last year's brilliant 15 minute treat, the Icelandic genius is back with a Pt. II.
Well I'm going to try and enter the festive spirit, here's one of my favourites from Greg Lake. (the original and best version)

A timely protest against the commercialisation of Christmas, and possibly about a loss of innocence and childhood belief.

I’m not sure why this gem of a liquid D&B (I think) song was hidden away in the middle of a Hip-Hop album but I can’t wait to have this blaring out loud next summer.

I'd been trying to get HTRK 's new album since it came out (Septemberish). Today I collected it from Resident Records .... on my doorstep all the time!

This popped up on the car iPod today. This is not really my sort of music, but there is something about this band.....the way the vocal and the music slide past one another, the vocal a little behind the guitar most of the time (in much the same way Eva Cassidy, bless her (RIP) would sing). And there is something languid about the guitar. And then it builds and . . . 
. I guess the best way to describe them is that they do melancholic anthems.
