Oh fuck
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Sorry, Complete Control is much better than EMI.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Wolston. I don't think EMI cracks my top ten Pistols tracks, whereas CC is a top 3 Clash track at least.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
The sole area of superiority for EMI vs. CC is understanding what the singer is saying. It was years before I finally learned the lyrics to CC, which cleared up what Joe was singing with all those pretzels in his mouth.

CC is one of those songs where I understood most of it without a lyric sheet, though I was weaned on bootleg versions which may have been more clearly sang.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑23 Jun 2017, 4:31pmThe sole area of superiority for EMI vs. CC is understanding what the singer is saying.

WolstonnyB. I usually skip EMI if I'm listening to Bollocks.

Yeah, but even before I knew the lyrics, CC moved me. In a good way. Probably my second favorite Clash song.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑23 Jun 2017, 4:31pmThe sole area of superiority for EMI vs. CC is understanding what the singer is saying.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
EMI isn't one of the three or four good Pistols songs, so CC wins.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
Oh, jeez, I've agreed with Hoy and Heston on the same day. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Whoa there, I love EMI, it just isn't the utter masterpiece that CC is. I love all of Bollocks except Problems, that is a rank average song.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Yes, still better than the plodding Supremes version.
