There is a certain expectation when it comes to this stuff.

That you are kind. That's all.

Get the fuck away from it.

That's my advice.

A girl called Nicki gave me a recording of that Shopping Assistants album on tape with a hand drawn cover with flowers and hearts and I snogged her and felt some boob but ended up going out with another girl. Afterwards Nicki stabbed me in the leg with a kitchen knife at a party.

Anyway, thanks Adam, you're a star.

At least one person understands what the indie sound is supposed to be.



And he is why my Dad brought me up to support Man Utd.

Let's admit that some of those who may have originated that indie sound are now massive wankers.

But let's face it. Indie fucking rocks.

The following is what you'd get at any Indie night at any club in the early Nineties.

If it was in Scotland or the North East.

Indie alternative nights. Everything from actual indie to punk to goth to early techno.

Ok, well as long as everyone understands you're all fabulous.

I know I'm being repetitious but we all have places we go in our heads that are comforting, we like the familiar. This is just mine.

There are worse places to be.

The world has become an incessant shopkeeper pestering you and trying to rip you off at every opportunity like some omniscient Arkwright.

Anyay here's g..gr..g..grrr..g..grrrr...Gayle.



I imagine that scrote at the start now provides sex toys for Tory ministers.

This was always my favourite Adam and the Ants song - all of the beautiful arrogance of pop music is here in 'so what's the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking'

I remember this being played on something like 'saturday superstore' and Sarah Greene trying to react calmly and sensibly to it afterwards.

When I used to write a music blog I played some of his songs and he emailed me and said have you got any of my songs you can send me?

Thanks Adam.

The 'She wants revenge' track is one of the only decent goth songs I've heard since the late eighties. It was playing while Lady Gaga was being a sex temptress in American Horror Story while ripping off 'The Hunger'.

And don't get me started on Blues and Motown.



Fuck Yeah!

At some point I'm confident some of this will begin making sense.

Great track

Screaming folkpunks to stadium rockers

I'm sorry to hear about Pete Shelley.

I've got a Buzzcocks song rattling about in my head at that tantalising distance where every time I try to hear the words to narrow down the search it recedes into the vast empty expanses of my brain.

So in the meantime here's some more Pogues.

I only saw the Pogues once supporting U2 and they were so pissed they were all over the place kicking leads out of guitars and forgetting what they were playing, it was at once one of the best and worst performances I'd ever seen.

I was there to see U2, my one and only gig collaboration with my dad who was in the midst of a mid life crisis which involved a really stupid hat.

Which was the Joshua tree tour. Sky would have been 15. And his favourite U2 song is...

It's a shame U2 ended up being such utter wankers.

Anyway here's Ministry, I forgot to include them in my 90's indie/alternative night.
