Roxy Music - Ladytron

is this longest ferry's hair has ever been?

been watching him/them pretty closely the last 25+ years and never it so long - funny, cuz i've seen them doing this song with exact outfits many times. There is a famous still-shot of BF doing this song (in this jacket), but his hair is hyper-styled/moussed.

I'm in love with the jacket.

true, i dont know much about Roxy but i think in the 80s they started to have a pop image after being a rock band. is it so?

Is this rock? I don't know. What's the difference between rock and pop? I don't know and frankly I don't care. If it's exciting I like it, and in the beginning, Roxy Music were as exciting as possible but after Eno left they weren't exciting any longer.

i felt exactly the same way when i first saw it! check out the other old grey whistle test clips, like you need a mess of help to stand alone

@zzota - re: Roxy and situationism, I was thinking of the lyrics of Virginia Plain, which are almost comedy (and hence anti-romantic) in their ridiculing of the girl - "can't you see that Holzer mane/what's her name?/Virginia Plain". Compare it with other Dada-influenced stuff like "I'm the Urban Spaceman"..

Ferry -'The Lyric Machine' (per Andy McKay comment) is out of control - so camp, so heartbroken - he is one of the greatest lyricists that graced the 70s/80s. "Throwaway lines often ring true"

@RebelRabbleLeeds - in a word, because Ferry took over the band, and by 1979 he had lost much of his artschool-rebel side. Most later Roxy tracks show him as a crooner, a very good one, but very limited in the final musical result..

We were plainly listening to something on the one hand totally new and original, yet at this time having grown up with the BBC radiophonic workshop in our psyche and all aware of the advent of the "moog", the corpse of 50's Rock &Roll not yet twelve years old, starved of theatre in 70's Rock, the scene was set.
