Dave Ross Nation of Caners, The Fight to be Human and No, Surrender.

I love his epic rants. They never miss.

Also shows he can easily step out of his normal areas of expertise; love/relationship angst.

To see Justin Currie perform this live is to see a bona fide genius at work. Dip in to these lyrics anywhere and you'll find a caustic poke in the eye to society. I say no, surrender...

Rescue - Live at The Royal Albert Hall 1983
Released #OTD in 1980 🩷

Did any band 'get' the 80s quite like the Thompson Twins? Played it like a fiddle or an accordion..

This of all the lovely words spoken about Yosser today strikes the rawest of chords...

For those who enjoyed the Janet and John books, here is Terry Wogan reading a passage . So funny #janetandjohn 🤪🤪😂😂😂

What an extraordinarily brilliant song this is. Majestic

RIP Caesar Menotti. The Argentina World Cup in 1978 was intriguing for many reasons...

Farewell Menotti.

Rarely without a fag on the go.

Ian McCulloch's birthday today. This was my gateway album to Echo and The Bunnymen. It remains my favourite of theirs.

Heads Will Roll is just magnificent...

God then must be falling'

King Of Everything...new single songwhip.com/the-blow-monke…

I didn't know I thought this until now. Kevin is right isn't he?

For a band with many high points, this was one of the highest of high points.
The summer of 1979. Always reminds me of being in Billy Hasset's flat in Deptford, when he played it to DAMIAN O'NEILL and me. Now on the MBRS.
