Young Marble Giants - "N.I.T.A."

[fatmunchy]

i heard this song on a radio

[boredom535]

Alison is hot

[infradig8]

It's nice to hear you're having a good time But it still hurts 'cos you used to be mine This doesn't mean that I possessed you You're haunting me because I let you Shape up your body "Let's be a tree" Visual dynamics for you to see Nature intended the abstract for you and me No rain outside but tears in my eyes Out on the rooftop for a surprise Call you at teatime In off the street Sit down at table, Mummy is neat

[ChristopherMcEneaney]

Tattooed on my back, baby.

[ginolight]

I agree ! it kills a sound as low as that !

[newjerseyjew]

SOUND IS SHIT

[andymae66]

I meant "wrong date" to the poster who says this was August 1980. We used to share our rehearsal room with YMG, they were great people and an amazing group..I still listen to them now

[andymae66]

Wrong date, it was November 1980, I know I was there

[imyoursuperior2]

@andymae66 right, you were one of the 12 people there. Stop lying.

[andymae66]

oh yes I was and there were mrre than 12 there, they kicked everyone out during the YMG as the damned fans were too roudy, however I managed to stay in when YMG did this and the damned did dr jeckll, I can be seen on the dr jeckl vid and on drinking about my baby my whole bunch of friends can be seen on many occasions....so there....plus i used to share a rehearsal room with YMG and my band (although not signed) were affiliated with Z Block records....so balh

[blindsnakesundae]

fell in love with them in 1981, still in love, still have the vinyl. Shame the Gist and Weekend were not a patch on these guys.

[JIMASIM1960]

this is a fantastic song but those days are gone

[roejogan8]

@JIMASIM1960 who cares if those days are gone. listen to whatever the fuck you want. i know i do.

[thedene]

It's amazing now to think that groups like the Young Marble Giants have passed by without coming to the wider attention.

[Tylox1]

Yeh man, just found them , what days those were, I saw alot of bands but barely remember this one... wow pretty lady

[glimmertwin1977]

@thedene - that's not true. Hipsters love to name check them.

[roejogan8]

@glimmertwin1977 mayby they like the music. that ever occur to u. lol. 

[glimmertwin1977]

@roejogan8 - maybe that was a joke. that ever occur to u. lol.

[roejogan8]

@glimmertwin1977 predictable reply. that ever occur to u. lol.

[glimmertwin1977]

@roejogan8 - Ha. That's funny. Either your an actual child or your truly hilarious. I'm going to assume the latter or else I'm going to hate myself for responding to this post.

[themanwithxrayeyes]

man...this brings me back to the early 80's...I still have Colossal Youth on vinyl...I saw The Gist live in 1982, in Vilar de Mouros, Portugal. Those were the days...

[bkbotanic]

PLEASE, reload this video with the volume adjusted higher.

it's just KILLING the song.

[iamaweasel]

@bkbotanic Hear, Hear!  Super song lost in a fuzzy blah.....

[yourinurine2]

@bkbotanic i could not agree more!!!!!!! it si not worth being here if the soundisi too low

[hacienda1]

Something else. I wish there was still something like something else.

[melitoce]

I think they knew eraserhead. their music has a similar atmosphere. This song is radioactive.

[Joaokimuralegiao]

Nirvana!

[zenarcade64]

This was my favorite YMG song. If you turn the sound all the way up you can hear it okay. Better yet, put on the LP while watching the video.

[regisgoat]

A priceless artifact, but almost unwatchable and inaudible. God, I wish they'd come back.

[martimotion]

one of my favorite bands from that time and place!Great to see this vid! I know of no other band that sounds like this, unique!

[waynealarsen]

I'm so happy I saw them back then!

[cmprops]

Still one of the best bands ever. I love Alison's voice.

[ccondre]

THIS TALENTLESS ARSEWIPE NOW WORKS AS A CHIROPODIST - (ah a mum with 2 children - how lovely) yep says so in their little booklet to Colossal Youth

[thistlypram]

is she a talentless chiropodist or a talentless singer? either way, why are you angry? you funny thing you.

[bolderr]

Great band! Great song! horrible video!

[matttatttack]

could some good soul

who is able to see the video

[gouvyrock]

[manikmoon]

Utter brilliance and perfection in its simplicity!!!

*swoon*

[OtisWestinghouse]

Same clip is under Videos on the ppelstein YMG site.

[OtisWestinghouse]

Appelstein, I mean

[shijokingo]

Please someone coud be so nice to get this gem available again? Thank you.

[bricology]

Why does this just say "Loading..." forever? I've never had this trouble with a clip on YouTube before.

[martinevans123]

works for me, always has....this is a real gem. Still as simple and mystical as when I heard it first about 27 years ago! Thanks for posting this rare treat.

[josvanvliet]

allready 26 years I love this song!

Jos van Vliet from the Netherlands

[SoggyShamus]

Doesn't work here either.

[john66]

it is choppy and murmur-quiet

[tinyfolk]

I wish this worked for me.
