No jokes, honest, but I wonder if Flipper were completely serious with their single Brainwash. Its a thirty second attempt at a song, which is fine on its own. To make a single out of it, they just copied it a dozen or so times, with a five second gap between each one. Its worth three minutes, not the full six as on the original single. Also tonight, another great song from the Flamin Groovies, who were in the right place (London) and the right time (1976) but had the wrong hair (slightly receding). The songs were great but sounded old compared to the Ramones.
