Yup - many moons ago I got in serious bother because of them. My mate lent me "Too Drunk To Fuck" in a plain sleeve, and me mother found it ! She's of the old school, and I wasn't very popular for a few days.

saw squeeze live a few years ago & was a very dull concert, shame as they have done some fab singles, tempted, up the junction etc

dead kennedys are touring now - only without jello biaffra - how weird is that.

as for the penis wall or whatever it was called, just plain mad. (like the limited dirty sleeve for dirty by sonic youth)

soft boys/hichcock - have a mate who's mad for that stuff, hitchcock was part of the bingo hand job secret rem gig at the borderline a few years ago was he not?

...or howzabout The Butthole Surfers. Jeff, if I remember correctly, the lead singer was the son of Mr. Peppermint (it's a Dallas thing). I don't think Muffin was down with them

Originally posted by See-Ye Tan XTC got my vote.....Been following them a long time...now I'll just have to start buying all those Remasters they've out recently...How about the 2-tones stuff? Anyone?The Specials, Madness, Selecter, The Beat....

I've noticed recently that the Selecter are playing a few gigs around London - I'm sure they're supporting someone in Camden or Kentish Town sometime soon...

Oh, and I don't know if The Vapors would be classed as 'new wave' but their album was the first I bought with my own money and I recently picked up a cool retro Stussy t-shirt with their name on it.

What about Devo - they released some pretty good stuff...crack that whip...

I think Lard (Biafra with Al from Ministry) are absolutely fantastic - pure speedfreak anarchy! Post-DK Jello is ok but I like the solo stuff by Klaus Flouride better - so overlooked and underappreciated he is.

Way too weird to even think about parting with my hard earned cash this week, I think. Don't think that the new singer will have the same effect as JB's voice on Kill The Poor.

he dead kennedys fucking got me through high school. east bay ray is my guitar hero, besides thurston/lee and barney.

has anyone else heard the live devo album called "the mongoloid years?" it has shit from are we not men, and then some older shit that sounds vaguely like pere ubu

speaking of the dead kennedys, why did jello mention martin hannetts name at the beginning of nazi punks fuck off? is that just more "joy division is fascist" bullshit? i don't think the two bands are that terribly dissimilar anyway.

ok how bout The Church, one of the finest Aussie bands ever in my opinion

Was it the Vapors who did 'Turning Japanese'? That song used to totally freak me out as a kid....

just found out jello is doing a set at the ashton court festival in bristol in may.

Yep, thats them. Though it all sounds abit dated now. The singles from that period were News at Ten and Jimmie Jones.
