Same barber this year.

Evidently no need for a repeat treatment,
last years epilation must have taken out the small white hairs roots'n'all. .

Howard Jones is from High Wycombe, he does a night at the Old Swan there every second tuesday.
All the originals, its a good night they do b.o.g.o.f deals on a pie and a pint.
He still has a bit of a trouble with mental chains and preconcieved ideas, but if you write a request slip on the way in and ask for inclusion he will play it.

OK,
no denying this is a boastpost,
but who here ever saw Joy Division live?

Sorry that's the white swan.
Alzheimers

big up Jonesy
i swore a vow to swerve chip shop type pies after a girl from bermondsey i dated told me she worked in a food contamination checking co/type job
she said they got a loaf of packaged sliced bread once with a cooked mouse in it, embedded in the bread slices, kinda like a rodent scotch egg
the pie story was that one got sent for analysis after the recipient bit in to it , and found it too chewy
the chewiness was a condom, unsure if unused

No mate,
it was the Wild Swans,
(often introduced by [David] Kid Jenson,
with his Canadian twang, on the pre-Peel show).

Is there a a hole in the ground near a tree and a river?

That is beyond middle age and on to the retirement thread.

All the above.

Stop Making Sense, in a cinema, dancing in the aisles within 10 mins of the start.

wow, that gets severe kudos

@lynx the old man of Arran goes around and around there. Check with him

OK,

Very good question! Just missed themr. They played in Cologne 15.01.80 and my first punk gig was later in the year.

What is his fashion sense like?

I saw Joy Division play in a church in Bristol. My memories of the night are hazy but I think they played four songs and then Ian had a problem and they vanished, not to return...

This was not long after my first proper gig, which was Costello, John Cooper Clarke and Richard Hell & The Voidoids...

I missed the Clash.

Ooh the internet. March 5, 1980, Trinity Hall, Bristol. That was a whole year after the Costello/Voidoids show. I interviewed Robert Quine many years later and he was ace.

OMD I never liked. I tried with Dazzle Ships. It was shite. Art of Noise however, they were strange and funky.

I hated all that eclecto new wave glam pop at the time - none more so than Depeche Mode, who ironically now I figure were actually really fucking good at it

what was the question? why did I come upstairs?

I bought the first four or five Depeche Mode singles and Speak & Spell, loved them 'til Vince Clarke left...

Yazoo were shit...

Listening to Kraftwerk now, perfect autumnal, working-from-home music...
