Blog Friendly Unit Shifter

rare occurrence

'Far, far away' by Slade, from 1974, as the music used to entertain customers placed on hold.

Hats off to Vodafone corporate. I was actually a little disappointed to miss the end of the song when my conversation with the agent resumed.

Music nostalgia

Buzzocks - What Do I Get ? The Clash - What's My Name/Garageland Sex Pistols - EMI Siouxsie And The Banshees - Love In A Void Joy Division - She's Lost Control The Chameleons - In Shreds The Fall - Smile (John Peel on intro) Nirvana - About A Girl

The Smiths nostalgia

A video of 'Jean' (unplugged) with Sandie Shaw on vocals and Johnny Marr on acoustic guitar in Kew gardens surrounded by Morrissey, Rourke, Joyce and assorted children. I think I might wake up tomorrow morning to discover I dreamt all this. If so, I apologise profusely in advance.

Kurt Cobain

Maybe I am obsessed with dead pop stars but I agree with the sentiment of this blog (skip the comments).

probably the most underrated band ever

On Monday, I received two DVD's ('Ascension') containing 225 minutes from some of the last shows by The Chameleons in San Francisco from October 2002. Great songs, great lyrics, great artwork. Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. PS. Don't bother commenting that this contravenes rule 3. I know.
