The Unburied Dead: DS Hutton Book 1

the first 'douglas lindsay' that i've read that isn't a 'barney thompson', and found it's a good murder/police thriller - he has written a fair amount of them - this is the first in a series of (soon to be) 6 books featuring d.s. hutton and his colleagues - the kindle versions retail at an average of £1,99, so i think i'll read further.

now onto a biography on the gang of four,

Gang Of Four - Damaged Gods

came across by chance, rapidly delivered (not damaged goods), looking forward to an account filled with friction and in-fighting, reformations and duff albums, as well as the goings on behind the first three, virtually perfect, records.

"Did you think you were going to be seeing Women with no clothes on?"

ooooh, yeah! giggety!

oh globbits! i done gone 'n' triggered the SYDNEYGEDDON!

"oxymoron"

(p)oxy moron(s)

"I'm guessing you already knew that?"

i did not know that.

aaargh! it's all my fault!

dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/...

she was on 'loose women' by zoom, of course, the first thing she said was 'you have no authority here, ruth langsford' - it did raise a moderate guffaw from me - everybody got to have a catch phrase!

good ol' jon big jobi!

amazon.co.uk/Solid-Gold-Gang-Four/dp/...

'entertainment' is one of thee groundbreaking records of all time, true, but me, being perverse, prefer this great big ball of mud thick, thunderous agit-punk-funk. john peel kept referring to this as 'solid glod' (he didn't like it), but for me, it's the height of their output,
really think i'm gauny have to get the over-priced box set!

efterval,

She Got Me (When She Got Her Dress On)
Magical Spell
Kill The King
Moon In Your Pocket
Third Man On The Moon

yeah, ital 'vitalite'!

however, it's a tuuuune, so there's maybe hope for you yet, ranking melon!

i hate to miss 'this morning with phillip and holly'

of the rest (of the entire history of televisual programming), some is good, some is bad!

guitar solos? hmmm, not really my thing - most of the guitarists i admire don't often indulge. likes of poison ivy rorschach, earl 'chinna' smith, johnny ramone, kaziwayi (misty), warren ellis, andy gill, gareth sager, mick jones, cosey fanni tutti, phil free, all tend not to. even the rammstein boys don't involve themselves awfully much, but having said that,

jo shaw - doll by doll - 'chances'
https://youtu.be/XQTzGfdXhHc

psychotic overdrive from perhaps the greatest album of all time - could have picked virtually any track.

richard lloyd/tom verlaine - television - 'marquee moon'
https://youtu.be/g4myghLPLZc

twin solos from reality city.

p.paul fenech - the meteors - 'shout so loud'
https://youtu.be/9eTx20LP9ws

short and sharp from the king of psychobilly psychosis

steve diggle - buzzcocks - 'boredom'
https://youtu.be/QoYiQ8Qsozk

who needs to use more than two notes?

crass.bandcamp.com/album/normal-never...

out today, 4th in crass's 'normal never was' remix programme. an abrasive, stinging mix by paul jamrozy (of test dept), and an equally belligerent, but inventive, mix by maral, who folds in the folk music of his homeland, iran. can watch videos here.

wait a meenit! a telly in ireland?

wait a meenit! electricity in ireland?

congratulations, Grandpa Broon!
