I saw Linx at the Appollo Manchester in the early 80's and they were fab then . David grant was brilliant and there was only a guitarist who name does escape me (was early 80's after all folks!)
Gee, it must be a "Yankee" term for us, you know, "jam" with multiple meanings. But over herrre, it's slang for a song that's happening. C'mon now, we appreciate all of the exports you've given through music over the decades and we treasure them like gold. So, yes this "cut" or record is still a classic "jam" or song that simply got ignored here in America. Bring back the British bands!!!
at 0:38 seconds, you can see him pulling out the piece of paper with the lyrics to the song on it.. i can only imagine its quite easy to forget the words ;p
If anyone has any doubts about the feel good factor of 80's music, then just ask yourself when in the 90's or 00's you saw the top of the pops crowd partying like this lol.
Man, some of the jams that you love get left hanging by some of our favorite artist through name changing, reforming of bands and straight up disappearing in Europe or Japan, etc. I still love Junior. =D
Can you believe this only got to No.15. I am a younger person who never got to experience TOTP during it's glory years. I remember the final painful years with that awful format and the cheesy duo Fearne & Reggie. But i looooooooooooooooooooooooooove Linx they are amazing.
i'm not sure that music died - its still out there , the only problem is the record companies now want short shelf life shit that appeals to 13 year olds - it started with stock aitken waterman ripping us off with their B sides - music comes from the heart - the soul and in alot of cases , working class back grounds where the artists have suffered the hardships of unemployment - i know what your saying though, and yeah its bloody frustrating
Hilarious to watch the lead singer now that he's a presenter on CBeebies Carrie and David's Popshop! He looks older in this clip than he does now in 2009! LOL
Easy music! I love it! The guy has good voice, good moving, I know it is a playback(equals with the studio version)but the mood and the feeling is alive and that's enough for me.
I never heard this until I heard this on MP3, beacuse of my curiosity. I like "You're Lying" much better, really. I can tell this was targeted for UK market. I only heard their one and only big hit in the US "You're Lying". I wish there was a clip for "Watching You Watching Me". I love that song!
Loose Ends? Didn't they do 'Hanging on a string?' Didn't see what all the fuss was about with them. Worked in a themed Chinese restaraunt in London with the ex drummer years ago. He was the chef and a bit of a wanker. Thought he was hardcore.
Well you never mentioned that. Why piss on your own legacy? I suppose he's 'moving forward.' Have you checked out the website him and missus have on vocal training? He's got dreads now. Probably trying to shed the 80's stink off him, the wanker.
I know the crowd on TOTP was always very staged but they seem to be genuinely enjoy themselves.

He ain't getting any younger and he's probably got a mortgage to pay and kids to feed.
He's not burning Jews. What do you want from the guy? Linx re-unions? He's just tring to get by and earn a crust.
