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: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
He was remarkably and naturally photogenic. If I'd just seen a picture of that band in '76, I'd want to know what they sound like just because of Rotten. As Marky said, his impoverishment was put to very effective use.matedog wrote: ↑20 Jan 2022, 6:49pmMan, Lydon's 76/77 look still looks so cool.Marky Dread wrote: ↑20 Jan 2022, 2:47pmCardigans are the anti rock n roll.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑20 Jan 2022, 2:29pmI just realized I'm even wearing a cardigan!Marky Dread wrote: ↑20 Jan 2022, 2:13pmDr. Medulla wrote: ↑20 Jan 2022, 2:10pmI've got my punk seminar this afternoon, so of course I've been listening to the Housemartins this morning.

I should add that I mentioned you in passing in class as a rebuttal to the Greil Marcus/Jon Savage views of the Pistols as some kind revolutionary art terrorism.

This … is better than I thought it would be. Not fantastic, but it's decent.
Also, found this bit re. a Housemartins reunion: https://www.theguardian.com/music/live/ ... navigation
In short, only if the Smiths do it. So, yeah, Fatboy Slim to none.

Definitely if it keeps that singer hungry.

Then TWIN is what you wanted. (I confess to a weird affection for TIWYW. Maybe it's because I discovered it when I was still just gobbling up everything punk/post-punk/alt I could find, so I'm inclined to treat it more affectionately.)Marky Dread wrote: ↑21 Jan 2022, 9:30amNo I don't care how fat he is personally.
