StickyDBRmf Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Deep Tan. Great note choices. Is it time? Is it not time for music to rebel? The Pop Tunes (?) Auto - Toons Times Is Over? Is it not time for The PUNKS to take over/ Take Back the Music? IS IT NOT TIME FOR THE OLD GEEZERS TO STRAP ON THEIR OLD STRING INSTRUMENNTS? (and have the greatful children roadie?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upside downer Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Released in 1979, I'm calling this a post-punk classic with its jagged guitars and biting lyrics. ***WARNING*** Ms Faithfull is in full-on effing and jeffing mode here. It's a long way from 'As Tears Go By'. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upside downer Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) First heard this on the ITV 'Night Network' when the clueless Mick Brown (of Pat & Mick 'fame') was interviewing the band. This is the original Icelandic version and Bjork's voice cracks at 2:16 yet it adds to the otherness of the whole thing.

Some of his early gigs were amazing, man he used to injure himself chucking himself around. A sad loss. Great band Fad Gadget. So different but still with it. I saw the post about the Dead Kennedys too. Great band but in the early 80's they played in Blackburn and tried to divide the audience and wanted us to fight. We'd been told about this before the gig as they did it the night before. When they tried it, we didn't take them on and told them to fook off. Unusual as we would have fought anyone in Blackburn. Great band who lost a lot of respect here unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave it a 'like'. Now I've listened to the original plus a couple more. Good stuff also. Thanks both! God, that takes me back. When I was in the 6th form at school, one of our number used to constantly put his Fad tapes on our knackered old ghettoblaster. Over and over and over and berluddy over. At first it was ok, then it was tiresome, then it was irritating, then I wanted to throw him and it off a bridge. As a consequence I have what is probably an irrational hatred of all things Fad Gadget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was excellent but not to the point of fanaticism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the precursor bands to Björk, Þeyr, K.U.K.L the Icelandic post-punk scene was mad. I first saw Björk performing with K.U.K.L. in a squat near Vauxhall, astonishing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Happy?' was a decent follow up to 'Album' but it was the beginning of a slicker sound that sat uneasily alongside earlier works. Anyway, more post-punk from New York. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give them the benefit of the doubt for having made my personal number one album of all time, Metal Box and another favourite, Flowers of Romance. I agree, from Album onwards their output was iffy but they’d get a pass for Death Disco on its own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
