Pop Will Eat Itself - Def Con One

Brilliant!

Got some of their stuff somewhere... think it's on cassette though...

Must look.

[Beechwoods]

Fantastic, ramshackle, but completely typical, live performance from Club X in 1989 or something. I have a good off-air audio copy of this from the time, but I think the video has been lost sadly - it was better than this transfer!

You'll love this Mike!

Not really all music that I like, but mainly some of the stuff I was exposed to earlier in life. The hippy stuff I do like though..

Love this..

I don't know why, but this really got to me when it came out in the late sixties. Listened to, of course, on the John Peel programme. (We can probably draw a veil over the video itself.)



This was massively advertised on the pirate Radio London, and eventually the ads wore me down. Good album. (Again the video is a recent novelty.)



I'm baring my soul here, people. This one also really got to me at the time (late sixties)



The two sets of three songs each that David Ackles did for John Peel were (even) better than the commercial recording with the, to me, entirely redundant backing musicians. Less is more, here. I always thought of David Ackles as the Leonard Cohen of music; and you can put yourself into a serious depression by listening to his first album, from which this song comes. Ackles manages to bring out without mawkishness the poignancy of the prisoner learning from his sweetheart that she's marrying his best friend...



And this, for its brilliance



Not been able to find a video of Joni Mitchell's Cactus tree - another one that hit hard. The version she recorded for John Peel was better than the album, I thought (long since lost my offair recording).

Couldn't find one with pictures


ironic comment about Swarb and fags. He had a heart/lung transplant a year or so ago...

[Marco]

Some good choices there, guys!

Beechy, most of your stuff is a bit 'off the wall' for me - I liked it all, but had only heard of Pop will Eat Itself and The Sugercubes

As for the rest... But it was good!

John, I'm with ya on Slade (ace!) and Ian Dury (double ace!)

Steve, Human League: 'Human' - fab!! Blue Oyster Cult and Barclay James Harvest - yep, nice one

I think when I was in my teens, my tastes were a bit more mainstream than that of you guys... Nowadays I'm into all sorts of unusual stuff, but back then it was mainly chart music for me. I was more into electronic keyboard-based music, or soul/disco than rock/guitar-based stuff.

Here's some of the stuff I remember being played at the (many) parties I attended back then:
