But this is included in the finished article in your link (Mustela Furo) and it's f***ing gibberish! It's ridiculous, but this makes me feel really angry. The bloke can't write, it's as simple as that, yet he parades his wares as if he's some sort of guru. [/seething]

Excuse me, but could someone explain to me what exactly is going on? Every time I read one of these HB&B threads, the writing is of an absolutely dreadful standard - the sentence above being a typical example. Do these write-ups get published anywhere other than here? Is he linked to the Argus...

I agree with you, even if no-one else does. The vast majority of their existence was in the 70's (as I pointed out on page 2 or 3). It seems it doesn't matter that they were at their peak in the 70s as they sold more records in the 80's?!

From the BBC's website: the bloke's name under the video clip made me laugh. BBC News - Russia election clearly skewed for Putin, say monitors *bored and juvenile*

Only if you stick a quid in the jukebox!

I haven't; the Glasper books kinda passed me by as most Brit-punk was horribly generic and plodding in the early 80's (US / global Hardcore ruled supreme for me!), but this one does look particularly interesting, especially as I still have an Amazon voucher to spend... I'd also recommend "Our...

The Stupids were really really great. There's quite a connection with Brighton too as, after the first album, Stevie Snax who lived in town joined them on bass. Alan from Brighton hardcore bands Immolato Tomatoes and Sleep sung with them towards the end too, and the guitarist from my old HC band...

Corrected that for you. HTH.

I bloody love Robert Rankin’s books, especially as a lot of them are set in or around Brighton, but none more so than this one – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brightonomicon Surreal lunacy and genuinely laugh-out-loud funny.

I agree with this, and I hope we don't come to rue the day that they spotted his talents.

Those are lyrics from an Arctic Monkeys song. He's still a funt, mind.

Hear hear to that.

I think it's probably just their attempt to garner some of the publicity that their local rivals (unintentionally) got with the chemist story. This is my favourite of these types of non-stories: Whitstable mum Jules Serkin in custard shortage | This is Kent

Following on from the crisis caused by Boots opening a bit late the other day, we now have this story of disaster averted: Broken door handle traps editor - Local - West Sussex County Times

These events are about as far removed from the original spirit of punk as it’s possible to get – punk as holiday camp cabaret. I remember we used to laugh at the teddy boys back in the 70’s for being a bunch of sad, anachronistic losers, but this is probably worse. Punk was all about the here...

Really? I defy anyone to sit still during the This Many Boyfriends track. My favourite is The Sock Puppets (from Denmark) though. Saw them a few times last year and they were never less than incendiary with a great Ramones meets 60's Girl Groups in a Detroit garage sound. Local interest is...

I've no idea why 'throughout' is all in capitals? Most peculiar.

I think you've misunderstood. I would buy a silkscreen or lithograph of the Dali original. In the same way that, as I'm not in the studio when The Sock Puppets record their songs, I have to buy the CD reproduction of the recording. I would never pay to buy someone's attempt at a Dali painting...

Oh I know that; I've helped put on plenty of gigs in the past, and even with 4 band line-ups including bands from the States and Scandinavia, we've never needed to charge anything like £20. Glad you like the mix-tape - I'll be sticking another one up soon. (And I wish I could listen to music at...

No, not at all. But I'm pretty certain I wouldn't buy anything from an 'artist' who decided to try and replicate, say, Dali's paintings.
