The Native Hipsters. There Goes Concorde

[wonkeydonkeyleg]

this is what happens when you give a woman acid and a keyboard

[chiggyfenton]

i still recite the words regularly, god help us and god bless john peel

[chiggyfenton]

when i was at art college in 91 a pal had this on tape but it had been recorded at fast speed! noone knew what it was but i took the tape to parties and it was loved. years later an ex dj i mentioned it to knew it, had it and gave me the single, with insert. its my prized single, even at normal speed

[ThatsMrFrank]

Acid. 

[checkoutgirl]

What the fuck is this and why do I like it ?

[simmorrrrr42]

i haz cum to this aaahhhhh makes me fell soo gooood!!!! i <3 weed :')

[thehoodedclot]

i had this single

[rabbitpi]

And there was a time when she would walk outside, forwards, but it never happened when anyone was watching; so she never really felt like it had happened at all.

[rabbitpi]

FYI, they're actually called "And the Native Hipsters", not "The Native Hipsters".

[eyjc28]

still play this in my head when i look through net curtains. Pure coincidence? or just a weird-and-wonderful-on-a-loop record? Thank you Mr Peel.

[2000mlauri]

Sehr genial, ich hätte gerne wieder John Peels Music.

[amberindiegirl]

Aha, brilliant... :)

[furakkueroru]

CHAVS!

[DavidQuantick]

None more patronising and smug than this awful hate-filled song.

[housti3]

you must be a fat woman haha

[rabbitpi]

@DavidQuantick God some people will take offence at anything. For fuck's sake IT'S NONSENSE, getting offended by this is like getting offended at Monty Python or something! And what exactly is patronising about nit? Are you sure you know what that means?

[rabbitpi]

@rabbitpi Um, calm down there harry. No-one said I was offended. I happen to love this song, am really pleased the man put it up, and was simply correcting a minor mistake. take a chill pill.

[shaftsbury94]

peel fave

[yiblon]

We need another John Peel to bring us more bizarre treasures like this.

[MsLaticslady]

Nothing i've ever heard is as shite as this

[koitorob]

I don't know how old i was when i first heard this, but i remember where i was. On a family holiday in The Mumbles, in a chalet, with the family playing cards one night listening to Peel. I finally found the cd last year and play it often.

I love this but like baboon Climbs The Mountain better:)

[ginobeaumont]

Thanks so much.. This song has been in my head since I heard it on The Peel show when i was 12.. such a release..! .RIP JP..

[mapek0011]

Haha David you FUCKING LEGEND! we smashed it that night and even if we did turn in to monster munch :p this was the nuts! Dad you are a legend..... welldonedave You ROCK! xxx

[welldonedave]

KIZZY WOZ 'ERE !

[GingerTig]

This brings back great memories of late nights listening to the Peel Show. He loved this !

[moz8669]

I would not like to drop a tab or eat shrooms b4 listening to this.

[theclockworktv]

Fantastic, love this record.

[Ayrshirenutter]

I had this way back,weren't they actually called '(and the) Native Hipsters'

[loscyclones]

I loved this song, John peel kept me awake till midnight everynight listening to him, often made me late for my morning paper round, but hey that's life. apologies to the people who didn't get there morning paper, but John Peel was more important than you!

[GingerTig]

Couldn't agree more !!!!

[ralucagymnast]

@loscyclones

Yes, the Hipsters were a big fave of Peel; I remember hearing him play "Playfully hurt me" by the Native Hipsters all those years ago and being totally knocked out by them!!!

[xMinusWeenie]

Sheer brilliance. This was played a lot on 3RRR-FM Melbourne around 1981- Kirsty Grant's show, from memory.

[fannycraddock99]

Sill crazy after all these years. 5*

[jamesjenko]

and dvd commentaries....

[jamesjenko]

this is how all music sounds when you're insane :)

[Cruithne3753]

Sadly, there goes Concorde no more. Shitty DC10s still flying though.

[Hellishhorse]

I drive past Filton airport in Bristol once a week....and see Concorde.....again.....

[kirkwallboy]

Mind warping stuff. Peel played this a lot around May/June 1981.

[merkinbloke]

I was in a record shop in Charing Cross Rd and this was playing.

I asked the guy at the till what on earth it was and he said it was his band and did I want to buy it.

I listened a bit more and bought it.

[snailonvalium]

@merkinbloke -- I bought that same 45 at that same shop--& had the dude sign it :)

[middxdiehard]

John Peel played this nightly for weeks, surprised I bought it!

[dilzappa]

First heard this on Indie City a 2 cassette set compilation - the lead vocalist (can't think of her name) later found fame as a TV presenter - God buggeringly brilliant if you ask me.File under "Songs people who liked O superman also liked".

[minniethe3rd]

20+ years after this was released - i still have it. What is worse I actually found it on You Tube. No accounting for taste
