Yes, good.

It has a Neu! motorik quality in places.

And it's varied in its references.

Wedding Present would sit well beside it.

Spooky. :D

Just been playing Disc 3 of C.O.B., the line "Fifty five minutes past eleven" in "The Call Up" came on, and I looked at my clock and it was 11.52, so pretty close.

Oh for a reunion (except Cozy of course. :(

Started listening again to a 2 hour BBC doc. I recorded ooh what, 20/30 years ago (some of his contemporaries were still alive then anyway) - "The Life Story of Max Miller".

It opens with his "music" Mary From the Dairy and then speeds up as he comes on stage - Boy! What I'd give to go back and see that. One of his "recitations" that sums up the male psyche perfectly in my opinion:-

"I like the girls who do,
I like the girls who don't,
I hate the girl that says she will,
And then says she won't
But the girl I like the most of all,
And I think you'll say I'm right,
Is the girl who says she never does,
But looks as though she..........."

'Ere!! Now there's a funny thing.

Oooh, you're wicked lot - you're the sort of people that get me a bad name.

Love 'im, love 'im, love 'im!! One of the true comedy legends

Great stuff.

It could be a cue for Racey's "Some Girls" but we've only recently had Chas and Dave.

So I'm thinking it would be best to spread them out.

Neu! - Negativland

Really love this and their first album.

New single. (I don't like the vid, but the song's good.)

Pick Up The Pieces

AWB drummer Robbie McIntosh died this day 40 years ago (!) of an accidental heroin overdose in Los Angeles aged just 24 - what a waste. :(

Fabulous classic track.....
