LOL (tolhurst!) OMFG, this is just too funny. :) Always heard about the Cure covering this song back in the 80s as a laugh but never actually heard any versions of it - until now! Oh the irony! Considering Gary Glitter's name is DIRT now I wonder how Robert Smith feels now about touching one of h...

Love this album. Always have ever since first hearing it in 1983. So intense and relentless. The backwards voice at the very start is the BBC2 announcer preparing for closedown of the station at night. How ironic that EXACTLY SEVEN YEARS LATER when Disintegration was released, there would be a tr...

Plainsong: best opening track of all time - not just from The Cure. It is just BEAUTIFUL, MELANCHOLIC MAJESTY OF THE HIGHEST ORDER. A wall of synths and chiming bells - like watching a waterfall moving in slow motion.... One of the saddest and most genuinely emotional records of all time. Of cou...

Best pop [commercial] album by the Cure = Head On The Door. Perfect 10. (KMKMKM is too long and uneven but also largely excellent). Best 'hard' [uncommercial] album by the Cure = Pornography. Worst album by the Cure = Wild Mood Swings. Everything since 1992's Wish has been pretty inessential at ...

Thanks so much for uploading this! Finally, I get to listen to this all in one go after not bothering with anything the Cure ever done after their patchy Wish album. Seems I'm vindicated in my earlier decision, I mean, how can you follow Disintegration anyway? 3 okay tracks & 6 boring ones....wha...

She also is a dead ringer for Miss Piggy.

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEEEEEEE!!!

OMFG!!! ROFLMFAO x 1000 !!!!! That is horrifically hilarious! Ha ha ha ha!! I knew that Mariah always loved to show off her 10 octave range at every available opportunity wit her insufferable wibbling, but THAT is something else entirely. Wonder how many dogs were killed from sheer trauma hea...

I remember these films and it is SOOOOO wonderful to finally see them again after almost FORTY years!! Thank you so much for uploading. Me and my younger sister remember this one very well, as we used to copy the dance routine towards the end of this short movie....! We even remembered the melod...

Oh, this is absolutely wonderful - so utterly nostalgic! I loved to sit and listen to these bits of music and I now at last have some of these tunes from the Watch With Teacher CD. In order of play here, they're: 1 Beadle-um-Bo, 2 Les Trois Chats (my fave), 3 Avez-Vous Le Tempo, and 4 Middle Of T...

Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Farting In Space!!!!

Sounds like somebody has dubbed wind noises on to this recording (4 minutes onwards). Now if that was the case then you're a bloody cheat!! :) If it isn't then, fuck me, there really must be some strange otherworldy sounds that emerge when you listen to this all out aural assault.

28 minutes in...

The longest sonic farts ever captured live for posterity!!!! MBV rock like guitar farting bastards!

This is truly embarrassing! :-) My sisters were HUGE Bay City Rollers fans and I had to pretend to like them (as a glam rock loving 8 year old fixated with Slade and T Rex) to avoid ridicule. I got my own way in the end though, for championing a Mickie Most act called The Arrows a couple of yea...

It's completely of its time these performances - the crap 80s mullets - check! The annoyingly OVER-USED AND COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE ELECTRONIC SIMMONS DRUMS that every muso and his dog deployed for whatever dubious trendy reasons of bandwagon-jumping - check! It sounds so unpalatable, and looki...

Gosh - as a 8 year old pop picker, I remember this Kenny from 1973, then also wondered how the second incarnation of Kenny a year later used the same name and label - then it twigged: the producer/songwriters are the same guys who also penned hits for them Tartan Terrors the Bay City Rollers. Thi...

OMG!! I am laughing my tits off now just seeing Marilyn Manson in this video (without his usual warpaint and the rest), cos he looks scarily like Alanis Morissette! Ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa!!!

This is one of the best remixes of any OMD song - a perfectly faithful one that stays true to the original song, and, most importantly, it's corrected the pitch of the original (which by the band's own admission was speeded up, making Humphreys' vocals sound a bit high!!). It's a rare case of a ...

M is my favourite track from Seventeen Seconds. Isn't it great to revisit the early days of the Cure like this....? Wish it was 1980 all over again actually.....

The gorgeously dreamy Pale Saints version was the first one I heard, strangely enough, which then made me want to investigate the original. Didn't realise it was more uptempo either, but it has its own vintage charm. Very 70s, but then what else did I expect?

@slctdmbntwrx programmed the drums??? He PLAYED THEM!! Moonshake songs ALWAYS had wicked drum rhythms - and incredibly deep subsonic basslines too (from the second EP onwards)

What a nostalgic journey in pictures! Some of us are actually desperate to try and amass as many colour photos as possible of New Brighton's various fun fairs (the indoor Palace Amusements / The Bright Spot / the two smaller outdoor kiddies' funfairs at the Floral Pavilion gardens and next to the...

That has to be the ultimate in terms of just how long ANYBODY can withstand such an endurance test. And I love MBV too! But I would NOT wanna be party to that without the risk of being fucking vaporised! Pure TOTAL SONIC ANNIHILATION!! Did Swans ever get THAT extreme in their pummelling brutal ...

I love the whole Read and Burn series - particularly the first two EP's blasts of fury. Relentless, driven, antagonistic and just full-on. That's how I like Wire best.

If people still go on about Pink Flag being the height of their anger and spleen-venting, then they haven't heard Read and Burn ...

This is a good version - reminds me of the one they performed on the 1988 Peepshow tour at Liverpool Royal Court - nicely faithful to the original album version (synth, drum machine and camera click), unlike that truly dreadful and flat version they did on the Seven Year Itch tour (the whole live...

This mix is far better than that lame 4/4 boom-tsch boom-tsch boom-tsch house version elsewhere that just went on and on and got absolutely nowhere.... I mean, this one's meant to be dumb, but at least it's more in keeping with the original spirit of the track. Even the speeded up video is ente...

It's very hard to improve on the appropriately icy atmosphere of the original. That one really IS chilling - with those funereal synths and doomy deadweight ambience. This mix is obviously intended to lighten it considerably, but I prefer the heavy oppressiveness of the original album track. In f...

And also like the phasing effect throughout the track - a subconscious nod, perhaps, to the phased sound of John McKay's guitar sound back in the early days (notable on tracks like Playground Twist and Voices to name but two examples). Neat!

Yay!!! Sioux goes techno robot!!! This is good - not many remixes get me going, but kudos to this one - Kraftwerk on Major Malfunction!! Red Light is one of their best album tracks too. Incidentally, I once programmed my Apple Macintosh simpletext speaking voice in similar fashion to spout o...

Anybody else hear a whiff of Simple Minds (pre-1984) in there too??

Mother Sky by Can.

Yes, such a tease! This song is one of many highlights from one of the most astounding debut albums ever made.

Such an offbeat and kooky video - and such an offbeat and GLORIOUSLYpoptastic tune too. In a parallel universe, this song would have been number one for 16 weeks instead of that turgid Robin Hood tune by Moose-shafting Pizzaface Whatshisname in 1991. I love the deliberate discordance going on hal...

Such a drop dead beautiful and achingly melancholy song, from an awesome album too. Just listen to the words.......and to my ears, the instrumental arrangement uncannily recalls that classic 1970s by Minnie Riperton "Loving You" (sampled by The Orb or course.....) albeit a much more downbeat mino...

BTW, I've been teetotal for 23 years now (getting on, you know), but even so, I stand by what I said about wanting to re-enact the sentiment expressed in the song lyric. It would be cool! :-)

I really do love this - it's as beautiful and charming as the original: a tune I just cannot get tired of either. I wish I could actually play the piano properly though....instead of just dabbling, cos I too learn tunes by ear as I can't read music. :-(

This lot are actually Morris Dancing's equivalent to the infamous Portsmouth Sinfonia (of which Brian Eno was once a member). I think they do it deliberately!!! Anarchists - all of them!!

They really stand out too! My first experience of them was in Saddleworth in 2006, then I might have caught them in Holmfirth one year too. Love the black and white costumes/face make up, each one is different. I remember one of them was done up like a KISS member too! Unique dances too - quite...

@LORD5067 You don't wanna mess with THIS particular group, I can assure you - they're more like a rugby team. And the wooden sticks that they use in some of the dances are actually metal crowbars - disguised to look like innocuous wooden batons. Saddleworth Morris Men kick serious ass. :)
