He has stated he based his act on him at one point. The Deram recordings. Apart from the detestable laughing gnome, I love them.

When we were nasty little punk rockers a mate of mine played this to me, and we both found we had something in our eyes. Still gets me . . . .

Ch-ch- changes to channels all ready.

 

[ManOfSussex]

Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Some absolutely stunning Greatest Hits amongst a veritable OCEAN of really not very good stuff. Even DB's best mates might well ask: Where Was The Quality Control? WELL?

I've never understood what this about either. What were they thinking?

sorry, I meant BBC2 (too much alcohol last night)

 

[Is it PotG?]

A first class example of how artistic and innovative cleverness doesn't necessarily mean you're any good.

Imho, of course.

It was done for charidee wasn't it ? Still no excuse. Much better without the music.

Isn’t it deliberately hammed up? It was only done as a Live Aid funds booster.

He was never afraid to make a mistake which obviously led to a few but you would pretty well forgive him anything, a brilliant ground breaking artist. I miss him.

That's brilliant!

It might not be for the purists, but I've been really enjoying the two Tin Machine albums...

The second one, imaginatively titled Tin Machine ll , is the best imo , as more to my taste and well worth a re-listen

OK I'll give you the Tin Machine albums as lacking quality control

 

[Binney on acid]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure I'm going out tonight.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Yes looking forward to these, I think I have seen them all before, but well worth watching again.
