The single most embarrassing gig I've ever been to. Audience of six. Three New Romantics dressed as Samurai warriors, a punk with the most extreme Mohican I've ever seen, me and my new girlfriend - she was so impressed.<BR/><BR/>It's sad about Edwyn Collins, but Orange Juice were on a rerun of Top of the Pops 2 last night and Rip It Up was a dismal ditty.Malcolm Cinnamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05120038732155986660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16460150.post-20432270300980567412008-02-26T20:16:00.000+00:002008-02-26T20:16:00.000+00:00They take it in turns to wear the contact lenses. ...They take it in turns to wear the contact lenses.

The Rezillo's?<BR/><BR/>I used to live opposite Clare Grogan in Kilburn in the late 80's - she was very bouncy and quite loud I seem to recall. I never liked her as I was secretly jealous only because every time I saw her thrashing around with her annoying baby voice on Top of the Pops I knew I could do so much better - and that is saying something.rockmotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08939586655533001122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16460150.post-88033844330347792942008-02-25T18:30:00.000+00:002008-02-25T18:30:00.000+00:00Wot Wot Wot, Murph?Wot Wot Wot, Murph?Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340519450159428760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16460150.post-77771826348406762162008-02-25T17:37:00.000+00:002008-02-25T17:37:00.000+00:00Popped in Souled Out was a perfect pop CD.Popped in Souled Out was a perfect pop CD.Roghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09430706557035189147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16460150.post-67184703698296530092008-02-25T13:22:00.000+00:002008-02-25T13:22:00.000+00:00Istvanski - I didn't realise Claire Grogan was so ...Istvanski - I didn't realise Claire Grogan was so unpopular. <BR/><BR/>Tim - The Associates are the best Scottish band of all time.
