The weekend beer and music thread

Red plonk. Having a Doll by Doll moment. I remember first hearing this at the Rock Garden. It was a full assault on the senses, with dissonance, softness, melody, chaos and accompanied by a mental strobe light show that must have broken all the epilepsy related laws. A 7 minute journey of tenderness and brutality. It was the most visceral performance I'd ever seen. Totally blitzed any punk band I'd seen. Last time I saw them do it live was at Newcastle City Hall where they were (somewhat bizarrely) supporting Hawkwind. The hairy Hawkwind fans barracked them through the whole set. To the point when they were all shouting Off Off Off with accompanying stomping of feet. DbyD's drumme Dave McKintosh joined in with his kick drum... and the band followed suite with the dissonant intro. By the end of the 3 minute wall of screeching feedback and strobe assault of the playout, the hairies were silent. Effing gobsmacked. One of the most incredible gig moments of my life.
It sounds really lo fi. It was. I have just played it with the headphones on, full blast. Took me right back.
I suspect most of you will find this "unlistenable". Some of it's quite easy listening :)

Itā€™s a great thing that we all donā€™t like the same music. Otherwise what chance of getting a ticket?

Ever seen the entire film?

Itā€™s absolutely bloody awful. Despite it starring Joss Ackland, Barbara Windsor and Gareth Hunt.

The Highlight is Chris Lowe throwing a full English Breakfast over Barbara Windsor.

Thankfully I've never seen the film and I know it is supposed to be awful.

Always really liked the track though.

Thanks anyway, but I'll give it a miss... always quite liked PSB but the film never appealed to me. I do have an old VHS video somewhere in the garage called Television.

I had that. Should have kept it.

Contains a clip of the presenter of Soul Train saying ā€œChris is soooo cool he just stands there at the keyboardā€ IIRC

Iā€™ll get my coat.
