Hiya folks. Just a quick word to apoligise for my lack of posts lately and more importantly apoligise to my fellow bloggers for not invading your blogs & recent posts and commenting. I'm on a bit of a lull at the moment but enjoying a break from blogging. So much hassle blogging anything this end due to uploading problems,stupid bloody itunes taking 20 minutes to convert one song. Its all one big hassle so I'm leaving it til after the New Year now. I really cannot be bothered and I'm enjoying doing other things which are much less trouble (Watchng Chelsea FC slowly blow their title chances,going out on the beer,downloading movies,moaning about Salomon Kalou etc) At least Christmas shopping is done now,wrapped up,sorted thank God. Now I'm gonna enjoy some more "me-time"

So I'm gonna wish you all a very happy Christmas and a very merry New Year. Have a good one and at worse,a bearable one.

The Stranglers - Rockpalast (1983)

The Stranglers - another much loved band here. This is a 1 hour 26 minute 19 track gig from 83. I would write more but I've got things to do. I won't be doing alot here in the run up to "the big day" to be honest. All I will say is if you are a fan of The Stranglers and haven't got this then geddit.

A little sample of this concert (well a 7 minute 50 second sample actually) of Midnight Summer Dream can be viewed here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZb5NMpdSUU

Suicidal Tendencies - Lights..Camera..Revolution (1990)

Of all the Suicidal Tendecies albums this one is my favourite. When my home got burgled in 2004,nearly all my CD's were nicked but they left the ST's,well all except this one! So maybe those thieves did have some taste. The silly bastards did leave all my vinyl which delighted me but they made up for it by taking most of my other stuff. The highlight of this album is track 1 (You Can't Bring Me Down) which was also a single and is probably my favourite ST's track of all time.

The band were never quite the same when guitarist Rocky George left but they remained a Longy favourite. Rocky wasn't in the original line-up of the band when they started around the 83 period but in my opinion,the band were at their best when he was in them. Some will no doubt disagree with this opinion but thats all it is,an opinion.

Whenever the word "crossover" is mentioned,the Suicidal Tendencies name tends to crop up so if you like your Punk/Thrash/Skate/Hardcore crossover then you'll love this. If you have any sense,then you'll have it already anyway!

Magazine - The Roundhouse,London,22nd October (2009)

This little beauty was screened as part of the BBC's Electric Proms on the Red Button a couple of months ago. If you are anything like me,then you missed it too. Thanks to my friend Graham who kindly send me this disc,you can all see it too. This is not the complete gig,only what was on TV so its 36 minutes and 9 songs in which the band were performing selected A and B sides. Needless to say,this is quality of the highest order.

In case you didn't know there is some great stuff available over at the Magazine shop http://www.wire-sound.com/shop/ including a special limited edition 2 disc dvd/cd which includes the entire Manchester concert from February on dvd. Its definately worth a look over there so I repeat. Go and have a look http://www.wire-sound.com/shop/

The World Cup Draw 2010

Group A - South Africa,Mexico,Uruquay,France
Group B - Argentina,South Korea,Nigeria,Greece
Group C - England,USA,Algeria,Slovenia
Group D - Germany,Australia,Ghana,Serbia
Group E - Holland,Japan,Cameroon,Denmark
Group F - Italy,New Zealand,Paraquay,Slovakia
Group G - Brazil,North Korea,Ivory Coast,Portugal
Group H - Spain,Honduras,Chile,Switzerland


Well the World Cup draw has been done tonight and England got a great draw in my opinion. We should win the group easily and I expect USA to join us by grabbing 2nd in the group. What does everyone think of the draw? Are you happy with your country's draw? (Russians,Swedes,Scots need not answer :-)

Group G looks a differcult one for sure and the hosts South Africa's group won't be easy to call. Other than that I think its pretty straightforward and I expect all the top seeded countrys except maybe South Africa to go through.

Who's going to win it? I'm actually going to give everyone a good laugh now and tip Argentina. They have been totally shit in qualifying and manager Maradona hasn't got a clue what he's doing. But they have great players and will be a decent price and are lucky cheating bastards so thats where the Longy pennies are going. For a very remote outside tip, it might be worth putting a couple of quid on Chile too. They'll be a massive price but they'll get through the group stages then knock-out Portugal or the Ivory Coast. Just you watch em!

As for England well after winning the group and beating probably Australia,we'll come up against either France or Mexico. No doubt,we'll get knocked on penaltys either in the last 8 or semi finals. Of course I hope we win it but deep down I know we won't.

The Damned - Finland TV (1981)

A bit more of The Damned for you and I make absolutely no apoligises for that at all as the band are universally loved. This was on Finnish TV back in 1981. It looks like some outdoor festival but I couldn't tell you which one. Just a 12 minute clip at 120mb,only the four songs and not exactly DVD quality but well worth a look.


Tracks


1) Wait For The Blackout
2) Lively Arts

Boomtown Rats - Live Hammersmith (1978)

Sir Bob is famous for 2 things. 1) Feeding the world 2) Boomtown Rats singer. I admire Bob for getting all those "stars" together and raising all that dosh for the starving people of Africa. Very noble of him. But Sir Bob,theres a load of struggling people up in Cumbria right now who have lost their homes due to terrible flooding. Where are you? Wheres fucking Bono? Give Midge a ring and get off your arse and raise some money for them. Are you just too busy looking after number one?

Anyway before Bob was getting knighted he had quite a good band. Some regarded them as a bit of a joke but I enjoyed some of their stuff especially the early singles so here they are from '78. 51 minutes and 371mb. Use H-J Split to join the files together http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/

Is Britain really broken?

Is Britain really broken? Well I watched the movie Harry Brown last night and it makes you think. I'm lucky,I don't live on a rough Council Estate anymore so maybe those that do can answer the question better than I can. I don't live in a particularly nice area but its better than alot of places out there. I do feel safe to go out at night but like any other City there are places I will avoid going. It shouldn't be like that though should it?

I loved the character Harry Brown,played so realistically by the great Sir Michael Caine. Its a 2009 British version of Death Wish really and pulls no punches. Anyone else seen it? He certainly believed in vengeance!

How would you change so called "Broken Britain"? I know what I would do for a start. I would outlaw Hoodies. Ban them. A jail sentence for wearing one if you are under 35 years of age. That would help stop all these little fuckers who go around anonymously bashing people up.

I'm not a great fan of CCTV and being watched (probably even as I type this) the cameras seem to be the only kind of Policing there is these days. All our Cops seem to spend their time catching Motorists doing 35mph in a 30mph zone. We need to reclaim our streets and people need to feel safe. We need more Harry Brown's!

Section 13 - A Demonstration CD (2008)

These guys were supporting the Subs on Friday and I brought the CD at the gig. I have permission to post this one from vocalist (Ian) and if you like your 80's hardcore stuff then this is for you. Think fast Black Flag/Circle Jerks and you'll get the picture. The band have nice little website and more freebies over at http://www.section13hc.com/ Go and check it out NOW! You'll also find the lyrics to this album there too.

Just a word or 6 about Friday's gig. Got to the Hippo early (for a change) and tucked into a few Gaynor's Ciders. The first band on were called The Submissionarys (I think) They played a covers set (Buzzcocks,Clash,Pistols,The Fall,Undertones etc) and went down very well. I heard afterwards it was their first ever gig. Bloody good effort if you ask me.

Next up Section 13 who hail from Leamington Spa. They went down even better and they were very fast and full of enemy. Definately a modern day Black Flag here. Even Mr Harper left his UK Subs stall and went down near the front. I wasn't the only one wondering if he gonna start pogoing down there lol. The singer did what no-one does at The Hippo - a touch of stage diving. Boundless energy and crunching in-your-face songs. An excellent set. Catch them if they are hitting your town. You won't be disappointed. Funnily enough the band are back next here next week for Plymouth Punk Picnic presentation The Dog Bites Back which is the Firkin Doghouse. Its just past the Aldi on the right of Union Street,4 quid for the tickets and four bands playing. I'm tempted :-)

The Hippo was quite nicely filled by time the UK Subs went on. As the band came on stage I immediately noticed there was no Alvin on bass and to my surprise Charlie announced that the bald geezer in his place was in fact original bassist Paul Slack. Due to my extremely bad memory,I can't give an account of the set-list. Songs I know they played were B1C,CID,I Live In A Car,Stranglehold,Rocker,Tomorrows Girls,Telephone Numbers,Kicks,Killer,Party In Paris,Emotional Blackmail,Endangered Species,Teenage,Left For Dead,New York State Police,I Couldn't Be You,Blues,Self Destruct,Police State and Warhead. Loads more that I can't remember too. I know they did 3 songs for the first encore and 4 for the second but by now I was well minging. My only slight disappointment was they didn't do She's Not There especially with Paul Slack present. Well you can't have it all can you and for a measly 8 quid,the gig was value for money personified. It was a great gig and the night was not over.

To finish the evening we headed over to the Nowhere Inn those landlord just happens to one of The Bus Station Loonies. And its got a licence til 3am and its what I call a proper pub. Proper beer,proper jukebox with proper music on it. I got in just after 2.30am I think and I was still pissed at 1.15 when I finally got out of bed. Its not big,its not clever but it is true. Oh and from the horses mouth,there will be a brand new Bus Station Loonies album out next year.

PS Forget to mention,also present at the Hippo (and the Nowhere Inn) was another Charlie. Not Harper but Casey - The original Bassist of Menace and now based in Plymouth. I had a good conversation with him. Guess who brought the first ever copy of Menace's "Skrewed Up" single? None other than Charlie Harper!

Anyway enough of this rambling,download this album,check the bands site and leave some nice comments for Ian and the band who are kind enough to share this with the world. I'm off out for a footy afternoon.

UK Subs - Live At The Beat Club,Bremen Germany (1982)

No surprises who I'm off to see live tonight for the upteeth time so to celebrate such an occasion I bring you some of the best UK Subs footage there is in an entire gig. This was filmed for German TV 28 years ago in November '82 and its bloody excellent. 18 tracks on this 48 minutes long gig and despite Charlies extremely dodgy look,it doesn't get better than this. Nicky Garrett is on guitar and Alvin Gibbs is still on bass and looks exactlty the same age as he did last year when I saw them (bastard!) You even get a "try before you download option" as the first 3 tracks are up on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXdtO0vtcjU


This is my last gig of the year and I've seen some good ones (Magazine,SLF & Chelsea,Buzzcocks,Sham,Anti-Nowhere League,The Specials and Motorhead/The Damned/Girlschool) and tonight the Subs. Charlie Harper is 66 now and I know that because I brought him a beer last year of his 65th birthday. A true godfather of Punk and as the title of one his songs,an Endangered Species. I cannot wait to see em again.

Television Personalities - A Sense Of Belonging 7'' (1994)

I've always had a soft spot for this band and probably always will do. This is the re-released version on Overground Records and doesn't include the original B Side (Paradise Estate) I don't own the original (I don't own much by the band actually but hopefully that will change after Christmas when I hit ebay again!)

Vocalist Dan Treachy is the only constant in this bands long history which has had many line-ups and have included such greats as Ed Ball and Jowe Head in their ranks.

Sham 69 - Live In Las Vegas (2007)

A Sham 69 without Jimmy Pursey was at first about unpopular as a Thierry Henry in a Dublin pub and unthinkable to most including me. I saw for myself eariler in the year that its very thinkable indeed and they were great live with new vocalist Tim who's only problem as far as I was concerned was that he is a Millwall fan (and I did mention it to him...jokingly of course) But hey nobody's perfect and his voice suits the band perfectly with his genuine East London roots and Cockney accect.

Sham are currently on tour and new album Last Gang In London (also the name of the tour) will be hitting all your favourite record shops soon. The band are now getting some very good reviews and deserveably so.

This gig from 2007 in Las Vegas wasn't overpopulated and the crowd wern't exactly the most enthusiastic but this was early days for "new" Sham but its a bloody good set and should not be ignored. And if it is then its your loss,not mine!

Punk Friction is officially one year old today. Someone once said a year in blogging is a lifetime and I never understood that until I started a blog myself. When I see how long some of the music blogs have been going,well its amazing and a credit to the bloggers out there. Hats off to all of you. You know who you are.

A really big thanks to all of the people that come over and visit here too. Personally I think this is a pretty shite blog compared to many many others but I've got a lot of hits down there so I must be doing something right I suppose (I've gone through 26 computer mice in one year lol)

Right I'm off to eat my cake and blow out my candle.

The Undertones: The Story Of The Undertones (2003)

I should of posted this one a couple of weeks ago really as a tribute to the late great Mr John Peel who unsurprisingly presents this great documentary which was made in 2001. Of course due to my bloody computer it was not possible but now,again after several failed attempts,it is. If you like The Undertones and you've never seen it,you will love it I'm sure.


66 minutes long at 630mb and not included is the bonus material but you can buy the DVD very cheaply if you Google it (I should take my own advice really!)

I downloaded this one a couple of years back on torrents and forgot all about it but found it in my Motorhead music folder which was a bit of a pleasant surprise. So yesterday I watched it again and managed to upload it (eventually!) Originally screened on Channel 4 in 2005 and filmed in 2003,this 48 minute documentary is well worth a watch.

The Damned - New Rose 12'' EP (1985)

I don't need an excuse to put The Damned on here but as I saw them last night,here they are anyway.

Last nights gig......well by the time we got there which was early (7.30pm) Girlschool were already playing and played very well in front of a large but static audience. I felt a bit sorry for them really and they deserved better but going on that early isn't going to help. I got my wish with Race For The Devil anyway.

Next up The Damned who kicked off with New Rose and it was bedlam down the front. Alas there were some of local tossers down there trying to cause trouble. Not punks or metalheads....just 20 something Janners with nothing better to do. They didn't get there wish but the atmosphere was not as relaxed as The Specials last week. Anyway the blinding Damned set included Street Of Dreams,Neat Neat Neat, Disco Man,Love Song,Smash It Up,Elouse and an awesome Lookin' At You. I think they were on for about 45 minutes which isn't bad for a "support" band but in reality for fans of The Damned,not long enough. They went down well though considering the majority of the crowd were metalheads.

Next up Motorhead and an odds-on headache. Lemmy is a legend isn't he and the whole place shook as they hammered their songs out. They played alot of new stuff and although its very good (off the Motorizer album) I wanted a greatest hits session so I was a tiny bit miffed. The best part was yet to come though and it was "fitting" that on the 11th day of the 11th month they ended their set with Bomber. I remember saying to my mate "If the encore isn't Overkill and Ace Of Spades I won't be happy" so when the band came on to the distinctive opening mayhem of Ace Of Spades I was happy and the place went off. We were pogoing I think lol. And the night was complete when those thundering drums went into Overkill (the 12'' long version) and I enjoyed this one more than any other. Bloody brilliant song.

Overall out of 10 this gig gets a 9.5. It wasn't as good a night as The Specials but I don't think anything will be. My head is hurting but what do you expect after Lemmy & co. I was disappointed that Lemmy didn't come on and do a song with The Damned and also the fact that Girlschool didn't join Motorhead for a St Valentines Day Massacre (Please Don't Touch) but maybe I'm asking too much. Was it worth £25 quid? Hell yes!

The Stranglers - Always The Sun 7'' (1986)

This single was a bit more popular for the Stranglers. Off the same Dreamtime album and a bit more mainstream. As the sun is currently shining then very apt today.

Just a word on yesterday. It was great to meet long term Punk Friction commenter "arstider" and his pal who bravely ventured into the sea of blue at Morrisons for a 3/4 of a pint each (don't ask where the rest of it went :-) Next time you are over in England arstider then get there a bit eariler!

And a quick word on the Chels vs Man U game. We didn't deserve to win but it makes a change to have a bit of luck against Man U. Their fans were hammering England's Captain all through the game so it was sweet justice when Mr JT rose like a Salmon and headed in the winner. I can't believe what I've been listening to on the radio since I've been home. What a bunch of whingers those lot are. Disputed free kick,disputed goal,should of had a Penalty etc etc Have a word with yourselves and show some grace McTaggart & co!

One of the forgotton Stranglers singles. This one was from the Dreamtime album ala '86. Not one of their better ones but none their stuff on the Epic label was amongst their better songs in my humble opinion. Its still a damn sight better than all that shyte in the charts at the moment

Brand New Rage : A Tribute To UK Subs

Another tribute album,this time to one of the worlds greatest longest lasting Punk bands UK Subs. I can't wait to see the Subs again on the 27th of November.

Another 128 bitrate album but if you like it why not buy it for a bargain £4.50 here http://uksubs.bigcartel.com/product/uk-subs-tribute-cd-brand-new-rage

Meanwhile I'm off to see The Specials tonight and its another one I can't wait for.


Edit#


Well what can I say about The Specials gig. If you read this blog you'll know I'm not one to moan (cough) but I was not happy about paying £32.50 just to see the band. I only paid it because I like them and wanted to see them but I thought deep down it was a rip-off. But last night at a sold out Plymouth Pavillions they skanked the house down from the moment they took to the stage with "Do The Dog" By the time "Gangsters" came on (third song) the place was a jumpin' and 3,000 heads were a boppin'. Many many Skinheads unsurprisingly turned up and lots of faces I haven't seen for years were present. Not a spot of trouble...well the only trouble was trying to get a pint but luckily I had plenty beforehand in the pub. Well beyond my expectations and one of the best gigs EVER. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Not even I can fault it!

Next Wednesday at the same venue its Motorhead,The Damned and Girlschool. If its half as good as the Specials then I will love it.

A Tribute To The Anti-Nowhere League - So What?

I wanted to stick something from The Anti-Nowhere League up and I did attempt a video last week but due to the problems I've been having it was a no no. By some miracle,I've managed to upload this 53mb file so you can have this tribute album instead if you want it. Its mainly sung in English but there are a few German numbers on there too but I like it anyway. For some reason I do like the odd tribute album and this is one of many I have downloaded off good old Soulseek over the years.

The ANL gig last week was excellent but it was a small turnout and very few were down the front (Animal is kind of scary looking I suppose) but it didn't stop them doing an excellent set. They did about 8/9 songs on the encore too so fair play to them. Well worth the 8 quid for sure.
Animal (real name Nick) was very philosophical about the poor turn out when we apoligising about it backstage (myself and Gareth have a knack of piling back there now) Standing up close to him,you really wouldn't think he was 54 now and looks years younger. I did ask him if he was using Oil Of Ulay as well! I blame that on Gaynors Cider.

John Cooper Clarke - Live Glastonbury 19-06-81

Some more of The Baird Of Salford,this time from Glastonbury back in 1981. I only ever saw JJC the once and that was a year later than this one down at the Elephant Fayre festival in Cornwall supporting Siouxsie. Like alot of the music I downloaded years ago,this ones only 128 bitrate. 16 tracks and 32mb but classic stuff. Remember to leave no gaps if your burning this to CD!

My computer problems persist and its gone back to the shop to have windows xp wiped again. I haven't nearly begun to get it all sorted yet and I have to reinstall about 40 programmes and find all my favourites ect but this time I'm doing it gradually as one of those programmes I reinstalled last week was a vicious nasty virus and I have to work out which one it was. Until then,I'm thankful for my mouseclick noise!

Basically though I have wasted all day trying to upload a large file on both Rapidshare and Mediafire and my original problem on the first part of the last post below is worse. Downloads are going to 100% immediately and staying there and not finishing if they are over 50mb and whatever I try,its not sorting itself out be on rapidshare,mediafire or megaupload and quite frankly,I'm totally fucked off with it all. Funny enough,I can download just fine so maybe thats what I should just do from now on. If you look below you can see over 5 hours of work today on a Rapidshare Premier account trying to upload a file.


100 % (Infinity KB from 199681 KB)
Upload speed: 0 KB/Sec, Time remaining: 3407884:17 minutes


The people at Rapidshare are unhelpful and tell me its my browser settings or firewall or configerations etc but they can't tell me how to sort it out and nor can anyone else it seems so I'm at a loss at what to do. I have tried just about everything I can think of.

Anyway,I'm off to see the Anti-Nowhere League tonight and expecting a good hassle free night.


Tracklist


01) Gaberdine Angus
02) The Pest
03) The Day My Pad Went Mad
04) Majorca
05) (I Married A) Monster From Outer Space

Techincal Support Needed Please!

Not a major issue but one thats bugging the crap out of me. Since I've had Windows XP reinstalled and have tried to use Mediafire I load a file up as I did before and when I click upload it goes to 100% straight away (but it doesn't upload the file straight away at all) It just goes to the bit at the end where it says "checking file" and stays there til the file uploads. Its exactly the same on Rapidshare too except it goes to 99% so its something to do with my new settings I think. But its pissing me off so can anyone help?

Also my mp3's used to be a greyish (I think) colour and now they are all white. I want my grey back! I use winamp. How can I get it back?

Despite downloading several versions of Winrar,I still get errors every bloody time I either download or upload something. Why?

I also need a DVD Ripper (a free twat of course) that is reliable and virus free. I did have 5 different ones before and all of them were pretty good on their day but that day was last Tueday,a week last wednesday,four weeks last Sunday etc. So many these days have trojans inside them and after Monday I'm wary of what to download. Preferably I'd like one that does DVD's at 700mb like alot of these movie you see online. Can anyone help poor old Longy?

Oh and one last thing. How do you get rid of that mouseclick noise? I've tried all the suggestions I've seen online like go to sounds and audio devices>sounds>windows explorer> and set start navigation to no sounds but I've still got that damned noise and its annoying as hell. Maybe there is a way of turning it off in mouse setting in the control panel? It might have something to do with the fact that I reinstalled my digi turntable and the dreaded itunes. As a computer dunce,I have no idea really. This one is pissing me off more than anything and if you can help me get rid of that fucking mouseclick I'll award you gold stars,Blue Peter chufty badges and if your a bird,my body!

Anyone got any idea how to put any of these right please?

The Revillos - Bongo Brain 7'' (1981)

While I'm still in the midst of sorting everything out this end I am pleased to bring you this little beauty from '81. I totally forgot I had this one believe it or not and as I found it in the wrong record box (a legacy of the ex Mrs) it was a pleasant surprise.

Normal service will be resumed when I can locate all me back-up stuff . There won't be anymore posts for a couple of days or more and its a football weekend anyway for me (plus I'm a lazy c***)

The Stranglers - Live Alexandra Palace 11-08-90

We haven't had anything from the Stranglers for ages so here is Hugh Cornwell's last ever gig with the band. Theres no point in writing anything about the Stranglers because its all been said except to say they are touring again early next year.

Luckily this one was pre-upped well before Monday when my computer suffered a fatal virus. I was browsing an undodgy site when this thing called AntiVirisPro 2110 started downloading itself onto the computer. I quickly went offline but it was too late and I had trojan city on here. My Anti Virus,Anti Malmare and Anti Spyware were as about as effective as a Liverpool FC defence. I was unable to reboot in safe mode or use system restore either. Basically,all internal HD's had to be wiped and every bloody mp3 and video on there and fuck knows how many programmes I had on here were gone forever as my faithful computer spent Monday afternoon being repaired in the shop. Luckily all the music and alot of the vids were backed up but to say it was a gigantic pain in the arse is an understatement. Be warned of this pesky virus folks. Its the worst I've ever encountered.

This ones 590mb and an hour long and again use HJ-Split to join the files http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/#win32 and again sorry but its rapidshare.

John Cooper Clarke - Late & Live:Live In Bristol (1999)

Theres no doubt about it.....John Cooper Clarke is a legend and the absolute king of the spoken word. The original Punk Rock poet and bloody funny with it too. So when you've finally downloaded these files from the "dreaded" Rapidshare (I had to get an account because of the amount of films I'm still downloading) enjoy this 1 hour and 15 minutes of great fun. Plenty of inbetween gags on this which are in the main,very funny if a bit dated now in my opinion. Listen to JJ Clarke's take on various subject matters from the likes of The Welsh,Jews,The good people of Burnley,Phil Collins,Dyslestia,Eskimo's,George Best,Bobby Moore,Coffee,Marriage,Mad Cow Disease,Judging by appearances,Germans and Amphetamines. Politically correct he is not and bad language is most definately included.

The Cult - Live On UK TV 198?

I'm not sure what TV show this was off - it could be the same one as the Spear Of Destiny one but I'm not 100%. Anyway,its 5 songs (well nearly 5 as its starts into the first track but never mind its some rare Cult so it shouldn't matter. All these songs were from the "Love" album period.

I promised a friend I would download them a load of movies and stick them on dvd so for the next week or so I'm going to be busy doing that instead of uploading here. So I'll post again in around a week or when I'm finished.

Mau Maus - Live At Palm Cove,Bradford,England (198?)

This one has been lurking about on the computer for bloody ages and for the life of me I don't know where this footage came from or what year (surprise surprise) A rough guess would be some Punk compilation and 82-84 ish but the truth is I haven't a Kalou. All I do know is theres 27 minutes and 19 seconds of terrific fast,loud UK Punk to be had. The file size is 222mb.

Important: Beware of this Scam!

Over the last month I became a victim of a clever 'Eastern European' scam while out shopping. Simply dropping into Tesco for a bit of shopping has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends. This doesn't even involve carrier bags either!

Here's how the scam works: Two seriously good-looking voluptuous 25-26 year-old women come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the boot. They both start cleaning your windscreen. Their large firm breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It's impossible not to look especially with all the rain we have been having.

When you thank them and offer them a tip, they'll say 'No' and instead ask you for a lift to another store.You agree and they both get in the backseat. On the way, they start undressing, and both get completely naked. Then, when you pull over to remonstrate, one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over your lap, kissing you, touching you intimately, and thrusting herself against you, while the other one steals your wallet!I had my wallet stolen on 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, and 29th in the last month alone. Also three times last Saturday! So Be Warned!

P.S. Lidl have wallets on sale for £1.99 each, Aldi are £1.75 and look nicer.

Albertos Y Lost Trios Paranious - "Snuff Rock" Rockpalast (January 1978)

Every man,woman,child and pet worth their salt loved the Snuff Rock EP back in 1977. It was a fun EP,one big piss-take really although to the likes of a Longy here,it meant something at the time. Music to annoy your parents for a start. Somehow the Bert's landed on German soil circ 1978 and then onto TV so here they are with a cleaned up version of the all the Snuff Rock tracks. Includes a not so famous "impersonation" of The Stranglers. It made me laugh anyway.

Dedicated to all gloomy Liverpool supporters,still smarting from their miserable 2 0 defeat at Stamford Bridge yesterday :-)

Edit*

After a bit of investigation using the www some more info for ya. The good news is there was a full gig of this. Info here http://www.rockpalastarchiv.de/concert/alberto.html You'll notice these songs are not listed there. And now the great news.....28 minute video footage of this gig is available to buy for the measly price of 3 quid from CP Lee's website. Not only that but other goodies too.

Dear John

No its not a dear John letter but just a quick word for one of the best neighbours a person could wish for who died this morning at 8.30 am. John was 84 and an incredible character. Eccentric to the core some might say but in a land where most people don't even know who their neighbours are,John was the one-off. A very kind man and one I will miss after knowing him for the last 16 years. One of the few people that actually stopped and gave a person the time of day. Sometimes annoying,sometimes nosey and without doubt the most stubborn person I've ever met in my life - very set in his ways but hey nobody is perfect. Just a man you couldn't help but like though.

I've hated the last few weeks and seeing what I have - how a reasonably fit man has become so ill,lost so much weight,lost all mobility,needed constant oxygen and in the end,needed 24 hour proffessional care. John hated Doctors and Hospital's and it was 2 weeks ago that he finally agreed to go into hospital. When the Consultant asked what medication he on,he was staggered by Johns answer (none) and when John was offered morphine just last week.
he said "I don't want that stuff,I might get addicted" That says it all really and thats why I'll miss him.

Big Audio Dynamite - Live On "Meltdown" (UK TV Show)

Another one from the same Gareth VHS tape as the S.O.D. one. This is Big Audio Dynamite.....so fans of The Clash and particulary Mick Jones might have an interest in this one. Meltdown was another short lived TV show here in the UK in the late 80's and was usually on so late,most of us were asleep. Shame,because you all missed a bloody good set......until now that is.

Demob - Live Bristol 24-02-06

I get very influenced by fellow bloggers and once again Jeffen over at http://musicruinedmylife.blogspot.com/ has done it again with his cracking Demob post. So this one is for you Jeff.

Alas this is not a full gig. I think whoever filmed this came in half way through but its Demob so I'm grateful to have anything of them on film. I brought this on ebay for less than a price of a pint so I can't complain. Its only 26 minutes and its 255mb. As its not professionally shot its not exactly DVD quality and sound wise its like one of my vinyl rips! If that hasn't put you off then nothing will. Enjoy.

September 11th 2001 is a day all of us will never forgot. I got a phone call just before 9am telling me to put the TV on and spent the rest of the day watching the horror unfold inbetween a whole load of other phonecalls and texts.

Watching that 2nd plane go into the WTC thanks to live TV pictures was unreal and watching both towers collape was....well there isn't a word for it. Its unimaginable what it must of been like to be on any of the four highjacked planes,to be trapped up in those towers with a choice of being burnt to death or jump or to be a fire-fighter entering one of the towers knowing they were probably going to their death. Or a helpless Policeman,medic,civilian on the ground or parent,friend,relative of someone in those towers or on one of the planes. The panic,the sheer terror,the horror.

Whatever the wrongs of America (I'm not going to go there today) none of those innocent people deserved that. So today my heart goes out to all the relatives and friends that lost loved ones on this day eight years ago.

One great thing came out of 9/11 though in my opinion and that was human spirit. The people of New York were magnificent in the face of adversity. Thats how it came across to me anyway.

Thanks for all your comments on the previous post.


First off,the last post was not aimed at the people who regularly comment on here and I apoligise if it came across that way (thats you gonk,nuzz,topper and englishfog for starters)


Second off,thanks for your honesty and good wishes. Its always good to hear from some of the silent majority whatever the circumstances.


Third off,I really don't expect everyone to comment on every bloody post. Really I don't. I'm just feeling fragile at the moment thats all (see paragraph below)


Fourth off, to the anon prick who said "stop being a baby" If you had any idea how much physical pain I am in (which cannot be cured) how fucking depressed I am, how much medication I'm on, how much sleep I am not getting,how I'm currently nursing my dying very elderly neighbour because no-one else seems to give a shit and lastly but by no means leastly,how upset and shocked I am about hearing about yet another death of one of my friends - a great Rasta guy called Dane also a fellow Blue (a recovering addict for the last 6 years who relapsed and died after one hit of smack) then you would be pissed off too. If thats being a baby then yes,I'm a baby.


Now I know I mustn't project all my personal crap onto you lot but yes I am actually a human and if I'm being truthful then I guess I am feeling a little bit sorry for myself at the moment. I do try to maintain a sense of humour but when its on top then its on top. No its not very Punk at all but at least its honest.


Don't worry,you will definately get the rest of the files and normal service will be resumed later (probably today) And I repeat,no,you don't have to comment if you don't want to when you download them. I apoligise your sounding a bit harsh on the last post but I say what I feel at the time be it wrongly or rightly. Its part of who I am (a miserable old bastard!)


Dane was a very special person. He had a great sense of humour and would help anyone. He helped me out alot. Although we couldn't get tickets for the game at Bolton in May 2005 when Chelsea won the League for the first time in 50 years,I was glad I was in his company for that very emotional moment. I will really miss him and I'm truely gutted.


R.I.P. Dane (Keep that Blue flag flying high in the great gig in the sky)

These Punk On Top Of The Pops videos are not only the most downloaded on here to date but also the least appriecated. It takes approximately 2 and a half hours to rip and upload a segment of these. How long does a "thanks" take to write? I was online for a long time yesterday (until 5am this morning actually) and 100's of you have been downloading these files. Thanks to the few that have bothered to comment but to the rest of you especially the ones that can understand English,you really are a bunch of ungrateful women's undercarriages.

I'm not forcing anyone to comment,far from it,I never have on here but bollocks to it - at this moment in my life,I'm going through a pretty tough time of it and I can't be bothered either.

Just like 99.9% of you,I have no further comment to make at this time.

Punk On Top Of The Pops (VHS Rip) Part 1

A while ago on ebay I brought a home made DVD entitled Punk On Top Of The Pops. Its by no means a definitive collection and focus's mainly on the period of 1978/79 but its not totally exclusive to those years and the songs are in no kind of order. Whoever made this DVD obviously ripped it from VHS as the quaility isn't perfect but its good enough. Just about all of it was recorded from the much later broadcasted UK Gold programme (cheers for the correction Marky!)

Theres so much stuff on this so its going to be divided into 10 parts making it easier for you to download (and much easier for me to upload) There will be a daily part uploaded until its completed next week (hopefully!) I think theres 50+ songs altogether.

Top Of The Pops wasn't the best programme for Punk music in the UK by any means (that title went to the short lived "Revolver") but thats the point really. Top Of The Pops was stable and long lived and was broadcasted weekly. Many bands made the programme and many got on it more than once too as you'll see just by watching all this over the next week and a half.

So I hope you enjoy what you are about to recieve. Enjoy the hilarious miming from the likes of The Stranglers,The Damned,Sham's Jimmy Pursey and especially Sir Bob Geldorf with his Boomtown Rats. Theres plenty of The Jam to spread about,drool over Blondie once more or if you can't quite make the toilet in time,then theres always the Skids! Plus many many more to enjoy.
