Indier than thou
by morelearning @ 13/01/06 - 03:30:26 pm

At a macro level, there are clear decisions: Simply Red and Simple Minds produced much that was shite; The Fall are mighty. But lest we decide to pursue this to its logical extremes, here are HMHB:


Give me Love, give me Can, give me Meatloaf.
Give me Rush, give me Marquee Moon
Michael Ball or The Fall, I could listen to them all
In the twilight or the afternoon
Irk the purists
Irk the purists
Irk the purists it's a right good laugh
Irk the purists
Irk the purists
Irk the purists in the bath

Hall and Oates, (something), Miles Davis
Patti Smith, Simply Red, Sly Stone
Be they false or 4Real, I don't care and nor does Neal
So long as we can hear their songs

Irk the purists
Irk the purists
It could well be an Olympic sport
Irk the purists
Irk the purists
If you've never then you ought

Husker... Du-Du-Du
Captain Beefheart, ELO
Chris DeBurgh, Sun Ra, Del Amitri, John Coltrane

Irk the purists
Irk the purists
Come on boy, you know it feels so right
Irk the purists
Irk the purists
Irk the purists tonight

Husker Du Du Du to the tune (?) of Agadoo: one of those moments that makes me love them!

Of course they would, and I wouldn't disagree with you. But I suspect they don't have a list!

But Brian, wot about the 'best f*cking band in the world' - The Jam!

......the last thing that I saw,
as I lay there on the floor,
was 'Jesus Saves' painted by some athiest nutter
And a British rail poster reads
'Have an away day, a cheap holiday; do it today.
I glanced back at my life, I thought about my wife,
Coz they took the keys and she'll think it's me
Im down in a tube station at midnight,
The wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold
Im down in a tube station at midnight.......

Sad isn't it. bs

Well, I know you love your chav-watching:

Saturday's boys live life with insults,
Drink lots of beer and wait for half time results,
Afternoon tea in the light-a-bite - chat up the girls - they dig it!
Saturday's girls work in Tesco's and Woolworths,
Wear cheap perfume 'cause its all they can afford,
Go to discos they drink Babycham talk to Jan - in bingo accents.
Saturdays kids play one arm bandits,
they never win but that's not the point is it,
Dip in silver paper when their pints go flat,
How about that - far out!

Their mums and dads smoke Capstan non filters,
Wallpaper lives 'cause they all die of cancer,
What goes on - what goes wrong.

Save up their money for a holiday,
To Selsey Bill or Bracklesham Bay,
Think about the future - when they'll settle down,
Marry the girl next door - with one on the way.

These are the real creatures that time has forgot,

Not given a thought - its the system -
Hate the system - what's the system?

Saturdays kids live in council houses,
Wear v-necked shirts and baggy trousers,
Drive Cortinas fur trimmed dash boards,
Stains on the seats - in the back of course!

....
The ghost of a steam train echos down my track,
It's at the moment bound for nowhere just going round And round.
Playground kids and creaking swings, lost laughter in the breeze,
I could go on for hours and I probably will, but, I'd Sooner put some joy back in
This Blog called malice'

The guvnor's up for lifetime achievement for music at Brits. Does anyone realise 'The Jam' had 6 albums out in 5 years?
In the City
Modern World
All Mod Cons ( My fav. Lent to a mate at college and never got back :( )
Setting Sons
Sound Affects
The Gift

Sorry Bri, I'm just rambling. bs

"I'd rather dance with plankton than talk to you."

Yup, they had their moments alright.
