Post-Punk Junk, Episode #02 (part 4 of 4)

[koldfushen]

Hey Junk, why do you use the first name of "postpunk". if you came afterwards, no need to be a crybaby and invent stupid asinine labels like "postpunk" beside PIL is Not "post" anything, they are punk and always have been, way before label inventors arrived on the scene. Peace!

[clumpft]

To the boring old farts at WMG, I will disembowel your children, then I'm coming for you!

[MrTulip65]

The Latin name for this abomination known as BMG is "Bellendus Totalis Killjoyum"

I wish that i didn't have a double chin and had one like Johnny's instead. I may try surgery.

[tazzman560]

wtf r u talking about haha

[picturesofpictures]

I'm saying that I have developed a double chin. I have heard that there is really safe and inexpensive surgery available to sort it out. I think that I will take the leap.

[ThomasJeromeNewton]

wow finally some post punk, now that wasn't so hard was it?

[crowderville]

The Song is "Save Us"...there was no offical video for Total Erasure, but there is a great 30 min BBC show with Philip Jap all performance and videos that includes it... Which was the prize for winning the David Essex Showcase.

Two of the David Essex Showcase performances are on you tube.

The Director of the Save Us Video was David Mallet, who also did Ashes to Ashes for Bowie among many other things...it was made in 1 day back in 1982.

[vxpert]

Are you sure there was no video for Total Erasure? I recall hearing about a Prisoner-themed promo set in Portmeirion? :-/

[pillunlimited]

that Philip Jap video and song is excellant. As someone who was greatly disappointed there was no second album it's quite hopeful and optimistic to think he is still out there with unreleased songs. Re-issue of his A&M album plus b-sides on cd for the first time is both due and overdue.

[mashamorgan]

The track was called 'Save Us' not Total Erasure as the guy said. Philip is alive and well I'm glad to say and one of Youtube's members is going to ask him if he'll make a comment to his fans after almost 25 years. A great talent, he's still writing music, shame he disappeared into obscurity !!

Hey, isn't this "Swan Lake"? Death Disco? Whatever. Great vid.

[garstangflats]

it's Death Disco - about Mrs Lydons death.

[nsanton]

I have Second Edition and the song is titled Swan Lake. I also have their greatest hits and the song is titled Death Disco. Slightly different mixes though.

[fjallman90]

first they released it as the single Death Disco and then they remixed it and added some synthesizers and renamed it Swan Lake (recognising the opera of the same name which's lead piece has a similar melody to keith's guitar line in this song) and added it to the tracklist of Metal Box/Second Edition

[gohome75]

thanks bret. i'm really happy to find out that postpunkjunk is still alive.

[kingivor]

The Philip Jap video is fucking mindblowing. I hope that the future bases a religion around this one video.

HE FUCKING MIMES IN IT! WOW!

Surpremely ahead of its time.
