Mescaleros playing 'Tony Adams' on French TV

This is new to me, but it says it's been on youtube since 2013 so apologies if it's old hat. 'TA' was pressed up as a promo CD single when the Rock Art album was released, so maybe they were plugging it here with a view to it being a fully-blown single release. Whatever, it's a great performance of ...

Re: Rapido

Great stuff, thanks for these - the Rapido interview is new to me, and I'd heard about a promo video for Island Hopping but had given up hope of ever seeing it!

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?



I read online somewhere about a promo video for this, featuring the band as puppets in the studio, with puppets of Messrs Strummer and Jones in the control room.... please, PLEASE let this be true, and available to watch somewhere?!

Been digging this Tom Waits cover by Pete.
It’s one of the best tracks on a great compilation. Those tribute albums can be a bit hit and miss but - maybe it’s the power of Tom Waits’ songwriting- this is a fun listen all the way through

Re: Pete Shelley

Missing Pete like mad. Had Buzzcocks on repeat since he died. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGbwYshfqmQ I loved that clip, and have never heard of Balcony TV - Inspired ?? TV. Thanks for the link marky. It looks even better with Inder's cyber-snowflakes falling across it - 'where were their coats...

Wait before I get my coat how do I upload an attachment?
When you write a reply, there’s a tab under the ‘load draft’ ‘save draft’ (etc) buttons, marked, er, ‘attachments’
No, I never noticed it before either.
It lets you select a file just like an email- from your phone pics, for example

You should be able to post as an attachment — if that doesn't work, you can try https://imgur.com/, which is pretty neat as well.

Re: Pete Shelley

I got some text messages about this earlier tonight and couldn't believe it. I've been revisiting some Buzzcocks tunes just now and as CK says, that original (well, post-Devoto) line-up created stuff that is just timeless. Three albums and a string of singles that any band would give their eye teeth...

Re: NEW JOE STRUMMER ANTHOLOGY?

‘The Jamming City Battle’ (or ‘Rattle’?) according to a snapshot I took. These cassettes were all in a display case at that pop-up exhibition in the Fred Perry store plugging the box set- tons note than in the poster. I never noticed that particular one but was amused by some of them, eg Chas & Dave...

Re: Holy Crap, Heston

Happy Belated-day! Glad you liked Slade too - I saw 'em last year and it was a great 'party atmosphere' gig, just right for a birthday bash I'd say.
