The Slits - Heard It Through The Grapevine

The Underground Jam Cafe Drummond, Saturday 12th, 8pm 4 on the door. Support from local punk pensioners 16 Again.

Never saw the program but Fat Boy Slim has just released a version of The Joker which is real sheet! It may have been that??

It may well have been' date=' though I'm pretty sure the gig was in 1980 so they'd have made the switch. I have an over-riding memory of the PA failing during Captain Kirk and Spizz conducting the crowd in a singalong. Good gig. Never made that one. As I was underage at the time, it was always hit or miss whether I'd get into Ruffles for gigs.

Puddle Of Mudd

What Biz fails to mention here (prolly too embarrassed) is that this gig is in fact to commemorate his 40th BIRTHDAY!! . So anyone that knows him should come along, buy him a beer in celebration, and watch as he drunkenly attempts to play drums for both bands!! Should be fun.

Tonight I have been listening to: Cabaret Voltaire - The Original Sound Of Sheffield 78-82 Neu! - 2 The Clash - Guildford Civic Hall 1/5/77 bootleg My Bloody Valentine - Loveless The New York Dolls - I'm A Human Being (Live) Class stuff, one and all.

Obviously......

The Clash - Sandinista! Julian Cope - Peggy Suicide The Boo Radleys - Giant Steps Trans-Global Underground - Dream Of 100 Nations Ramones - It's Alive!

Hugh Reed & The Velvet Underpants The Crap Shags Albertos Y Lost Trios Paranoias The Snivelling Shits Athletico Spizz 80 The Wannadies Rudimentary Peni The Deep Blue Something Nah, only kidding about the last one!

I think basically it's the generation gap - bearing in mind the 25+ year lifespan of the genre. The typical non-alignment of young and old that happens in most aspects of life. Hostility? I don't see it - more like a lack of understanding of each other's standpoints. Maybe even an unwillingness to understand, but nothing I'd personally get that worked up over. Hell, at the end of the day it's only r'n'r.

The Slits anyone? Also, from the US, how 'bout Dead Boys, Pere Ubu, The Dils, Weirdos, X?
