Apologies again for the tardiness of this posting but I was abroad with my minstrels at Benacassim in Spain. "Why not write this before the show goes out ?" asks angry MPs. While awaiting a summons before the committee let me talk you through tonight's menu.
Pete Shelley's shopping list of requirements for a full and balanced life is one of the minor gems from Another Music In A Different Kitchen, the first and finest of Buzzcock's LPs. Produced by Martin Rushent, whose death last month went unnoticed by me, much to my shame. He was the punk rock producerÌýofÌý1978 - as well as AMIADK, there was Black And White by The Stranglers and the first Generation X LP. Oh, and 999's Separates as well. Busy man, who finally made a bit of cash a few years later when the Human League used himÌýfor 'Dare'.
On a different matter, apologies for playing the whole of 'Crazy Rhythms' by the Feelies.ÌýSix minutes and ten seconds, they stretched it out to.ÌýI would haveÌýstopped after three minutes but it didn't seem right to edit another person's song. Unless specifically requested, of course. Has anyone else been particularly irritated by a good songÌýextended beyondÌýits worthÌý? Suggestions welcome.
