I sense an impending book on the role of chiropody in rock music (or sole music, maybe).Who Shot Sam? wrote:"Felicity" is a new version of the OJ song. A very good album that sort of slipped between the cracks. No wonder, it's only available on a German label (the same label, by the way, that issued Shack's hard-to-find Waterpistol).
The chiropody thing is pretty funny. Reminds me a little bit of the great New Jersey indie band The Wrens, three of whom work for the drug company Pfizer, if I'm not mistaken.
Checked YCHYLF, and indeed, Felicity is a Kirk competition. Never knew on account of vocals being by Edwyn, unlike the two other Kirk numbers on the LP. Kirk also wrote the great instrumental Moscow.

I have the same thing, and it's great. Was very sorry not to see him supporting The Fall in March, would have been a great night. Most of their gigs are in one another's company, it would seem. The Bard of Salford now lives in Chelmsford, but he ended up somewhere near much further away Oxford that night. Wrong university town, John. I did see him in 1984 or 5, mind, supporting the incredible Nico. His hair passed me on the stairs, a vast bouffant with two skinny legs attached. I liked the stuff with Hannett's production on, it seemed to further support the theory that he could do no wrong as a producer, but you can't beat him solo, firing 19 to a dozen.

What kind of creature bore you?verbal gymnastics wrote:I picked up The Best of John Cooper Clarke in HMV the other day. Does anyone else here like him?
Tracks such as Kung Fu International and I Married A Monster From Outer Space still make me laugh.
He is a genius.
Was it some kind of bat?

Radio, Radio from Greenvale, NY, March 3 1978. Good gig, good recording. One of the stand-out features is the absurdness of Elvis's 'mockney' accent. he sounds like Dick Van Dyke. He actually says 'That's why we was 'eld up'. The extent of his rewriting of his own accent is remarkable.

THE RAPTURE / Siouxie & the Banshees
This is the 11.5-minute epic title track to their now-decade-old record, produced by John Cale. One of the most underrated records ever, IMO-- powerfully, richly moody and haunting, and yet somehow catchy at the same time. It strikes me how much The Arcade Fire owe to Siouxie et al; even though their sounds are different, on a gut level it seems a similar mix of stuff.
