Bulletin Board of Bad Behavior

Cause I don't feel comfortable calling you anymore, really. I know you're in the midst of bad family times, and I'm worried I'd bother you if I called, or you'd just be in a bad mood anyway, and that wouldn't be good.

So I'm gonna write about stuff here. I am listening to this BBC show that features an old live show by Icicle Works. I didn't know they were from Liverpool. I think that's what she said, anyway. Anyway the gig is quite good and I've never been all that much into them before.

Also they are going to play some of an old La's live gig at the end of the show. So there's another 'pool thing for ya.

Julian Cope gets on my nerves, though, I'm sorry. They played "World Shut Your Mouth" early on in this show and I can't STAND that song, never could do.

Oh also another thing they did was play ONE only ONE track from the first Frankie Goes to Hollywood Peel Session. I tell you I am still absolutely furious that someone hasn't figured out a way to release every single Peel Session that ever existed. There is even one song by Can I know of that you can't get anywhere. Only on a f***ing Peel Session and the iron gates of the BBC archives never let shit like that out it's all the Peel Sessions you can't get anywhere even fuckin' Nick Drake recorded a fucking Peel Session but are they going to go into that room of tapes and get the fucking thing released? Are they? NO NO NO they are just going to leave it there in the dark cold dusty storage room like they don't care. Because that's what they do. And it's not fair.
FUCK the BBC.

Okay let's see. Also...

Look at this record in the link below. Just look at the way this record looks, the record, the sleeve. This is absolutely tempting me to buy it I mean look at this thing from 1982:

Okay the BBC show now is playing Penetration. You know the punk band with Pauline Murray. The song they're playing is actually pretty good.

Another thing I can't stand: Feargal Sharkey's vocals. I really just can't deal with the Undertones, they're not my thing.

AARRGH! Now they're playing Ian Dury this is fantastic! I haven't heard this song in a long long long time and I wouldn't think I would like it - "Wake Up & Make Love To Me" - I used to have that record actually cause it was sent to me in a bunch of random grab bag of records I ordered. It was this service where you could pay a cheap price for a mystery grab bag of records. I got a Bananarama record in that as well. Didn't like it much though.

AHHHHHHHH

THE LA's ARE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

THERE SHE GOES AGAIN!!!

It's a live set at the Marquee in London in 1991!!!!!!!!

I actually played 3 of my favourite records from 1991 yesterday, which is something I don't normally do. I don't often revisit 89-91.

Okay this is the last thing I'll say and it isn't even on topic:

Last night I watched this neat movie by this amazing jazz musician called Sun Ra. There isn't any way to describe just how crazy this guy was, and how brilliant he was...he came from Birmingham, Alabama but he always claimed he was from Saturn. He dressed in really crazy costumes when he performed. He played piano and keyboards. He was weirder than George Clinton from Parliament. Anyway this movie I saw was called "Space Is the Place" from 1974 and he comes up with this crazy scheme to whisk all the black people off earth and onto his spaceship to another planet, using music to teleport them there. There are so many funny scenes, and yet he never really says he hates white people either. You know, I don't own a single Sun Ra record, but I've always felt very proud to say I saw him live once, before he died in the 90's I think. Now I don't know how I even ended up at this concert, really. I didn't know a thing about him. I must have been 16 or 17. And I wouldn't have said I was even into jazz at all, but it didn't matter, I left that place in total awe. That guy was brilliant, there was no question. And his whole band has costumes too. There are horns, and female vocals...he released a billion albums.

Here's a picture of him:
