Top British shit!!!

was watching TV in my pokey London flat in 1986, flicking channels, chanced on Hail The New Puritan, thought "WTF is this????" Blown away. Never went to another lecture, got a lousy 2.2, and saw the MC Company at the Barbican in June 2010, where they were even better. Barking, mad as a box of frogs, and seamlessly perfect.

The dancing, the costumes... they just work together to achieve an odd sense of perfection!

I recall seeing Michael Clark and the Fall around in the 80's...where one was, the other wasn't far behind, I was already a Fall fan but wondered where the Fall were going with all this 'dance' stuff...ballet...Lee Bowery..what was going on? Anyway I took it all in it's stride and thought "whatever"...as the years have gone by and I watch videos of MC dancing to the Fall music...and The Fall with MC dancing it's not till it's gone you realise with hindsight what such quality it all was. Superb.

Mountain Oaf - you sound familiar. Give us a clue.

[MountainOaf]

@spacejockeycyrano Never heard of you, pal.

[3rdManFilms]

That's not much of a clue

[MountainOaf]

You're right - it isn't. Why do you think I sound familiar?

[geoalley]

[fdmcallister]

[grinick]
