The Damned I Just Can't Be Happy Today Peel Session Version

The Damned's Hypnotically chilling ode to paranoia. Originally recorded for the ground breaking 1979 Psychedelic Punk album Machine Gun Etiquette,the song is a dark seductive gothic masterpiece.
This version with slightly different lyrics from the original was recorded for the John Peel Show. The video is stitched together from several live performances of the song including the infamous Old Grey Whistle Test appearance.
An alternative version using the rare and much sought after Radio 1 Sessions version will be available on youtube so

I wish one of The Damned would write a book, like Hugh Cornwell did, an interview type biog, Sensible/Scabies/Vanian either of you.
The band are playing to 'Plan 9 Channel Seven' in the end scenes here judging by Rat's drumming, still the most beautiful scene in band history since, maybe The Who. Oh shit i think i'm boring you all.

Smash it Up, surely?

I dig the psychedelia craziness in the background fueled by the depressive motto. That's what makes The Damned so loveable. Everything is mismatched and undeniably attractive.

the peel stuff always sounds uber-amazing. Very clean with no energy loss IMHO.

Too much CCTV in the UK now... Orwell and these guys tried to warn us all didn't they? And you let it happen.

LOVE IT! Dave is still hanging about Hemel now and again. His mum lives next door to my mate. Great version of the track. John Peel always did great sessions.

Samhain66, thankyou for posting this. I can't stop playing it, it's taken over as my latest earworm. Very clever editing, timing spot on. A sensible firm will hang on to your editing talents. Well done.
