Cheers misanth’!

They are one of those bands that I kind of stumble on every now and then and think “why the hell don’t I have any of their stuff?!”

what song did they play on the Young Ones whats it on? ta.

Aah Vanian :) *drools*

I was going to say how much it irritates me when young people start going on about old bands, but I have just discovered the joys of Frank Sinatra! :D

Didn’t see the programme, but I can imagine the shock to the system that the Bulldog Bash could be to someone who likes all-inclusive hotel holidays in the south of France!

@ mrs h. Is it irritating when OLD people get into old bands…? Most of my music collection is what HMV would call “back catalogue” and I almost always get into a band years after the event, either when they have split up or died or become Butlins regulars.

Sorry Dennis, I didn’t notice that question - or if I did my brain blocked it out :(

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with getting into a band years after the fact at all - it only irritates me when it’s punk bands, and the very people who used to despise punk suddenly start trying to take ownership of it. It disgusts me. And what disgusts me even more is the way that any kid these days watching a programme set in the late 70s or early 80s would think that everyone was into punk and the whole world rolled around to a Clash soundtrack!

For your information, kiddies, most people really hated punk and punks at the time but won’t admit it now because they think it makes them seem like wankers. which they are.

Are you a wanker, Dennis?

Sorry.

Well admittedly a lot of it was shite but a lot of it was fantastic - especially when we were just crawling, numbed and stupefied out of the Abba years. Anyway, all my friends were punks and got so much stick for it you wouldn’t believe - (I didn’t really dress the part for very long because I was worried it might impact on the little Hoochalobster. I wish I had now - the only picture of me she keeps up on the wall is the bleached spiky one!!) Anyway, now every f**king BBC drama has old punk songs in the soundtrack, and that’s just sad. Bastards.

Weird you should say that about the Undertones though - Teenage Kicks was the only one I really liked! Into the Valley was indeed classic - I still have it on 7” vinyl somewhere :) And it’s impossible NOT to love the Ramones, the Dickies and the Clash so I’ll let the BBC off for those…

Anyway - I wasn’t having a go at music fans, of course it’s good that people get into stuff - It just gets on my nerves when it’s portrayed on TV as though every young person in the UK in the late seventies was a creative individualistic punk rocker when the vast majority were actually flickhead fuckwits.

lol :D

I ignored the whole of the eighties in truth - I spent them having kids and listening to a lot of punk, reggae and dub (and New Order). And getting a bit wasted if I’m honest … Although at least I have good kids. And I discovered Tracy Chapman in the eighties so that was good too :)

You may or may not be interested to know that Sarah’s first word was ‘ta’, but her second, third, fourth and fifth words were ” Jaz, Geordie, Youth, Paul” - each of which she could identify on photographs of Killing Joke :)

Adam is d’s brother. You’d recognise him because he looks a bit like a cross between d’s mum and dad.

Sarah was a very clever child. It’s all in the upbringing, you know. That and a healthy dollop of superb genes :D

Are they? To be honest I stopped listening to them after they appeared on Top of the Pops with ‘Birds of a feather’. That was shite, and the shame was unbearable. My sister binned her leather jacket that day because of the Killing Joke emblem on the back of it. But everything before that was excellent :) Maybe they got it back - I hope so :)

I did take the liberty of swapping one of the n’s in ‘Hosanna’ for a h - hope you dont mind ;)

Phantasmagoria is my favourite, I listened to that Damned record daily back in 85, just love it! Shadow of love, yam, yam:)

Yeah, a few times, I’ve seen em in Preston and in Manchester a couple of times.

Quality live band… then they have had 25 years practice.

The damned i do love and have seen a few times, they are one of my childhood bands… even though they shouldn’t be given my age but fuck it… the only problem is i can’t forgive Captain Sensible for “happy Talk”
