Was listening to the legend/genius that is John Cooper Clarke earlier. Chicken Town and Transvestite had me in stitches. Class.



I'm a man trapped in a woman's body,
I feel like Maddona,
But look like Bill Oddie! :rofl:

Chicken Town lyrics would incur several infractions.

I love Chicken town.

Was actually introduced to it by the sopranos TV series.

One of the episodes fades out to the fast beast and spitefull lyrics

Superb stuff
 
Didn't really get Joy Division when at uni - but watched the BBC4 documentary last week and found myself 'getting' them more than I had. On saturday I dug out the Mrs' vinyl copy of Unknown Pleasures (she can't remember buying it but said she was keen to be trendy back then!) - stuck it on and - you know - I rather get it...even although Ian Curtis' vocals are a bid wonky at times (see also John Martyn, Dylan, Van Morrison for marmite tones) - they are part of the whole. Compared with a lot of late 70s music I think it stands up well to scrutiny today.
 
Was feeling very cool last night as I had a late night listen to The Dave Brubeck Quartet album Time Out which includes the sublime Blue Rondo a la Turk and Take 5. Oh blissful heavenly jazz.
