Wendy James. Have you seen her now? She looks like Pete Burns. As does Beatrice Dalle.

 Tracy Tracy from the Primitives hasn't aged too badly.

Mind, time isn't kind to any of us. I've gone from looking like Matt Goss to looking like Davros over the past 30 years.

Clare Grogan must be on the monkey glands because she looks as shimmeringly winsome as ever.

My personal favourite was Tracie Young who sang on Speak Like a Child with The Style Council. Apparently she's now a female Alan Partridge on Radio Basildon or summat like that.

Hmm
Recent pic of Ms Grogan pushing 50.

I could be happy...

[Lipsy]

Hate to burst your balloon and all that, but:

[BillyStubbsTears]

Kin ell Lipsy, what exactly do you want?

[Lipsy]

I'm not too fussy, just not this:

[BillyStubbsTears]

That's not far off what Wendy James looks like now.

[Lipsy]

She's hardly aged a day... *looks down, shuffles feet*

[RobTheRover]

Hate to burst your balloon and all that, but:

Christ on a bike, has she had a stroke or summat?

[BillyStubbsTears]

No Rob, but I have...

[Bentley Bullet]

I wouldn't even handle that with a Barclay's now,  my hand would turn over and go to sleep.

[nightporter]

Claire Grogan until she sings. Totally forgot this track until i saw it on some vintage music channel. Its like there was a helium leak in the studio.

[The Red Baron]

That is some way short of their best work though.

I preferred them when they were darker and more Banshees-influenced.

I know, it's grim when those that we may have a harboured a wee stiffy for start showing signs of aging. Fortunately, none of us are getting any older... *raises eyebrow and conveniently ignores small looming landmark of impending middle age that's about to be celebrate by yours truly at this weekend*

hmmm...............

[RobTheRover]

That picture could be 10 years old.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Wonder if she was playing away a couple of weeks back?

Donald Fagen - The Nightfly
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon

Nice to see someone else who loves "The Nightfly." A wonderful, idiosyncratic album.

[mugnapper]

Sex Pistols - Never Mind The b*llocks
Cock Sparrer - Shock Troops
The Vaccines - What Did You Expect From

Once a punk, always a punk. Albeit an old, creaky one!
The opening of 'Holidays in the Sun' still makes the hairs on my neck stand up!

[mugnapper]

Hang on. I'm a member of the VSC. Why is it saying I'm not? That was twelve quid well spent!

[The Red Baron]

Best thing the Pistols ever did, IMHO.

It certainly is.
Got in on vinyl,cd,180gram vinyl re-issue and dvd-audio cd!
"New Frontier" in surround sound is awesome!

[Harrogate Rover]

Hard to pick three, but tonight's choices are

1. Lets Get Out Of This Country by Camera Obscura
2. I Just Cant Stop It by The Beat
3. Showcase by Aswad

[BillyStubbsTears]

Harrogate.

I listened to Just Can't Stop It a few months ago for the first time in 20-odd years. Utterly superb. The Beat were the craftsmen of Two Tone. Doffing their caps to Prince Buster and Dancehall but putting a thoroughly modern take on it. "Best Friend" is right up there with the very best singles of the 80s.

And the lyrics. Genius. From Stand-down Margaret which was the most skilfull put down of the era, to Two Swords, telling the lefties to reel it in and spread the love instead of the ANL approach of sticking the boot into the NF.

"Two Swords flashing at each other.
Only sharpen one another.
And in the long-run, even HE's your brother.
Said even though the Kitson's a Nazi, Nazi.
Even though the Kitson's a Nazi, Nazi.
Even though the Kitson's a Nazi, Nazi."

Summed up an entire philosophy in a fruggable chorus. Utter Genius.

[The Red Baron]

I saw The Beat live once. They were terrific.

Love "Mirror in the Bathroom."

[Iberian Red]

Great group, how Save It For Later got through censorship and had airplay was incredible!

[BillyStubbsTears]

IR

Ha! I saw that too. But I thought I was just a testosterone fueled teenager who saw sex in everything.

[Donnywolf]

Aye but that were no great achievement in them days. There were more people could claim that than were at the legendary Donny-Dover match at OBV.

SHIT .... trust me to get it the wrong way round ( as usual )

I Just Cant Stop It was the first album I ever bought ( along with Signing Off, UB40). Still stands up 34 years on. Always thought they were under rated. There was some good stuff on their next two albums to. Save It For Later is in my top 5 songs of all time.
