Buzzcocks - Live Wolverhampton 27-11-07

After my last posting I will stay in the same area and post what surely is Manchester's greatest musical artists of all. This is debatable of course as the City has had many fine bands but Buzzcocks gets my vote anyway. Fans of Joy Divsion, New Order,The Fall,Slaughter & The Dogs,The Drones,John Cooper Clarke and The Teardrops might disagree as might fans of the Stone Roses,Oasis and The Inspiral Carpets etc. So who were the finest band to come out of Manchester? Free free to give your views.


Anyway heres Buzzcocks with a storming 1 hour 21 minute gig from Wolverhampton from November 2007. Some bands are just timeless.

TV Smith - Live Wasted Festival (2005)

Happy New Year to you all. My New Years resolutions 1) to be even more lazier. Thats it :-) So yes I will be doing alot less here too but I'll try and post 1 or 2 things a week. All links will be 100mb instead of 200mb where videos are concerned due to the bastard things conking out at 70% when I'm uploading them. Brand new year,same old problems!

Well to kick off 2110 how about a lovely 40m minute video of the legend that is Mr TV Smith from Wasted 2005. Fans of The Adverts and Tim's solo stuff should be happy with this one. Thanks to Graham who sent me this one (again) and thanks to Jeffen over at http://musicruinedmylife.blogspot.com/ for the inspiration to post it.

Hiya folks. Just a quick word to apoligise for my lack of posts lately and more importantly apoligise to my fellow bloggers for not invading your blogs & recent posts and commenting. I'm on a bit of a lull at the moment but enjoying a break from blogging. So much hassle blogging anything this end due to uploading problems,stupid bloody itunes taking 20 minutes to convert one song. Its all one big hassle so I'm leaving it til after the New Year now. I really cannot be bothered and I'm enjoying doing other things which are much less trouble (Watchng Chelsea FC slowly blow their title chances,going out on the beer,downloading movies,moaning about Salomon Kalou etc) At least Christmas shopping is done now,wrapped up,sorted thank God. Now I'm gonna enjoy some more "me-time"

So I'm gonna wish you all a very happy Christmas and a very merry New Year. Have a good one and at worse,a bearable one.

The Stranglers - Rockpalast (1983)

The Stranglers - another much loved band here. This is a 1 hour 26 minute 19 track gig from 83. I would write more but I've got things to do. I won't be doing alot here in the run up to "the big day" to be honest. All I will say is if you are a fan of The Stranglers and haven't got this then geddit.

A little sample of this concert (well a 7 minute 50 second sample actually) of Midnight Summer Dream can be viewed here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZb5NMpdSUU

Suicidal Tendencies - Lights..Camera..Revolution (1990)

Of all the Suicidal Tendecies albums this one is my favourite. When my home got burgled in 2004,nearly all my CD's were nicked but they left the ST's,well all except this one! So maybe those thieves did have some taste. The silly bastards did leave all my vinyl which delighted me but they made up for it by taking most of my other stuff. The highlight of this album is track 1 (You Can't Bring Me Down) which was also a single and is probably my favourite ST's track of all time.

The band were never quite the same when guitarist Rocky George left but they remained a Longy favourite. Rocky wasn't in the original line-up of the band when they started around the 83 period but in my opinion,the band were at their best when he was in them. Some will no doubt disagree with this opinion but thats all it is,an opinion.

Whenever the word "crossover" is mentioned,the Suicidal Tendencies name tends to crop up so if you like your Punk/Thrash/Skate/Hardcore crossover then you'll love this. If you have any sense,then you'll have it already anyway!

Magazine - The Roundhouse,London,22nd October (2009)

This little beauty was screened as part of the BBC's Electric Proms on the Red Button a couple of months ago. If you are anything like me,then you missed it too. Thanks to my friend Graham who kindly send me this disc,you can all see it too. This is not the complete gig,only what was on TV so its 36 minutes and 9 songs in which the band were performing selected A and B sides. Needless to say,this is quality of the highest order.

In case you didn't know there is some great stuff available over at the Magazine shop http://www.wire-sound.com/shop/ including a special limited edition 2 disc dvd/cd which includes the entire Manchester concert from February on dvd. Its definately worth a look over there so I repeat. Go and have a look http://www.wire-sound.com/shop/

The World Cup Draw 2010

Group A - South Africa,Mexico,Uruquay,France
Group B - Argentina,South Korea,Nigeria,Greece
Group C - England,USA,Algeria,Slovenia
Group D - Germany,Australia,Ghana,Serbia
Group E - Holland,Japan,Cameroon,Denmark
Group F - Italy,New Zealand,Paraquay,Slovakia
Group G - Brazil,North Korea,Ivory Coast,Portugal
Group H - Spain,Honduras,Chile,Switzerland


Well the World Cup draw has been done tonight and England got a great draw in my opinion. We should win the group easily and I expect USA to join us by grabbing 2nd in the group. What does everyone think of the draw? Are you happy with your country's draw? (Russians,Swedes,Scots need not answer :-)

Group G looks a differcult one for sure and the hosts South Africa's group won't be easy to call. Other than that I think its pretty straightforward and I expect all the top seeded countrys except maybe South Africa to go through.

Who's going to win it? I'm actually going to give everyone a good laugh now and tip Argentina. They have been totally shit in qualifying and manager Maradona hasn't got a clue what he's doing. But they have great players and will be a decent price and are lucky cheating bastards so thats where the Longy pennies are going. For a very remote outside tip, it might be worth putting a couple of quid on Chile too. They'll be a massive price but they'll get through the group stages then knock-out Portugal or the Ivory Coast. Just you watch em!

As for England well after winning the group and beating probably Australia,we'll come up against either France or Mexico. No doubt,we'll get knocked on penaltys either in the last 8 or semi finals. Of course I hope we win it but deep down I know we won't.

The Damned - Finland TV (1981)

A bit more of The Damned for you and I make absolutely no apoligises for that at all as the band are universally loved. This was on Finnish TV back in 1981. It looks like some outdoor festival but I couldn't tell you which one. Just a 12 minute clip at 120mb,only the four songs and not exactly DVD quality but well worth a look.


Tracks


1) Wait For The Blackout
2) Lively Arts

Boomtown Rats - Live Hammersmith (1978)

Sir Bob is famous for 2 things. 1) Feeding the world 2) Boomtown Rats singer. I admire Bob for getting all those "stars" together and raising all that dosh for the starving people of Africa. Very noble of him. But Sir Bob,theres a load of struggling people up in Cumbria right now who have lost their homes due to terrible flooding. Where are you? Wheres fucking Bono? Give Midge a ring and get off your arse and raise some money for them. Are you just too busy looking after number one?

Anyway before Bob was getting knighted he had quite a good band. Some regarded them as a bit of a joke but I enjoyed some of their stuff especially the early singles so here they are from '78. 51 minutes and 371mb. Use H-J Split to join the files together http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/

Is Britain really broken?

Is Britain really broken? Well I watched the movie Harry Brown last night and it makes you think. I'm lucky,I don't live on a rough Council Estate anymore so maybe those that do can answer the question better than I can. I don't live in a particularly nice area but its better than alot of places out there. I do feel safe to go out at night but like any other City there are places I will avoid going. It shouldn't be like that though should it?

I loved the character Harry Brown,played so realistically by the great Sir Michael Caine. Its a 2009 British version of Death Wish really and pulls no punches. Anyone else seen it? He certainly believed in vengeance!

How would you change so called "Broken Britain"? I know what I would do for a start. I would outlaw Hoodies. Ban them. A jail sentence for wearing one if you are under 35 years of age. That would help stop all these little fuckers who go around anonymously bashing people up.

I'm not a great fan of CCTV and being watched (probably even as I type this) the cameras seem to be the only kind of Policing there is these days. All our Cops seem to spend their time catching Motorists doing 35mph in a 30mph zone. We need to reclaim our streets and people need to feel safe. We need more Harry Brown's!

Section 13 - A Demonstration CD (2008)

These guys were supporting the Subs on Friday and I brought the CD at the gig. I have permission to post this one from vocalist (Ian) and if you like your 80's hardcore stuff then this is for you. Think fast Black Flag/Circle Jerks and you'll get the picture. The band have nice little website and more freebies over at http://www.section13hc.com/ Go and check it out NOW! You'll also find the lyrics to this album there too.

Just a word or 6 about Friday's gig. Got to the Hippo early (for a change) and tucked into a few Gaynor's Ciders. The first band on were called The Submissionarys (I think) They played a covers set (Buzzcocks,Clash,Pistols,The Fall,Undertones etc) and went down very well. I heard afterwards it was their first ever gig. Bloody good effort if you ask me.

Next up Section 13 who hail from Leamington Spa. They went down even better and they were very fast and full of enemy. Definately a modern day Black Flag here. Even Mr Harper left his UK Subs stall and went down near the front. I wasn't the only one wondering if he gonna start pogoing down there lol. The singer did what no-one does at The Hippo - a touch of stage diving. Boundless energy and crunching in-your-face songs. An excellent set. Catch them if they are hitting your town. You won't be disappointed. Funnily enough the band are back next here next week for Plymouth Punk Picnic presentation The Dog Bites Back which is the Firkin Doghouse. Its just past the Aldi on the right of Union Street,4 quid for the tickets and four bands playing. I'm tempted :-)

The Hippo was quite nicely filled by time the UK Subs went on. As the band came on stage I immediately noticed there was no Alvin on bass and to my surprise Charlie announced that the bald geezer in his place was in fact original bassist Paul Slack. Due to my extremely bad memory,I can't give an account of the set-list. Songs I know they played were B1C,CID,I Live In A Car,Stranglehold,Rocker,Tomorrows Girls,Telephone Numbers,Kicks,Killer,Party In Paris,Emotional Blackmail,Endangered Species,Teenage,Left For Dead,New York State Police,I Couldn't Be You,Blues,Self Destruct,Police State and Warhead. Loads more that I can't remember too. I know they did 3 songs for the first encore and 4 for the second but by now I was well minging. My only slight disappointment was they didn't do She's Not There especially with Paul Slack present. Well you can't have it all can you and for a measly 8 quid,the gig was value for money personified. It was a great gig and the night was not over.

To finish the evening we headed over to the Nowhere Inn those landlord just happens to one of The Bus Station Loonies. And its got a licence til 3am and its what I call a proper pub. Proper beer,proper jukebox with proper music on it. I got in just after 2.30am I think and I was still pissed at 1.15 when I finally got out of bed. Its not big,its not clever but it is true. Oh and from the horses mouth,there will be a brand new Bus Station Loonies album out next year.

PS Forget to mention,also present at the Hippo (and the Nowhere Inn) was another Charlie. Not Harper but Casey - The original Bassist of Menace and now based in Plymouth. I had a good conversation with him. Guess who brought the first ever copy of Menace's "Skrewed Up" single? None other than Charlie Harper!

Anyway enough of this rambling,download this album,check the bands site and leave some nice comments for Ian and the band who are kind enough to share this with the world. I'm off out for a footy afternoon.

UK Subs - Live At The Beat Club,Bremen Germany (1982)

No surprises who I'm off to see live tonight for the upteeth time so to celebrate such an occasion I bring you some of the best UK Subs footage there is in an entire gig. This was filmed for German TV 28 years ago in November '82 and its bloody excellent. 18 tracks on this 48 minutes long gig and despite Charlies extremely dodgy look,it doesn't get better than this. Nicky Garrett is on guitar and Alvin Gibbs is still on bass and looks exactlty the same age as he did last year when I saw them (bastard!) You even get a "try before you download option" as the first 3 tracks are up on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXdtO0vtcjU


This is my last gig of the year and I've seen some good ones (Magazine,SLF & Chelsea,Buzzcocks,Sham,Anti-Nowhere League,The Specials and Motorhead/The Damned/Girlschool) and tonight the Subs. Charlie Harper is 66 now and I know that because I brought him a beer last year of his 65th birthday. A true godfather of Punk and as the title of one his songs,an Endangered Species. I cannot wait to see em again.

Television Personalities - A Sense Of Belonging 7'' (1994)

I've always had a soft spot for this band and probably always will do. This is the re-released version on Overground Records and doesn't include the original B Side (Paradise Estate) I don't own the original (I don't own much by the band actually but hopefully that will change after Christmas when I hit ebay again!)

Vocalist Dan Treachy is the only constant in this bands long history which has had many line-ups and have included such greats as Ed Ball and Jowe Head in their ranks.

Sham 69 - Live In Las Vegas (2007)

A Sham 69 without Jimmy Pursey was at first about unpopular as a Thierry Henry in a Dublin pub and unthinkable to most including me. I saw for myself eariler in the year that its very thinkable indeed and they were great live with new vocalist Tim who's only problem as far as I was concerned was that he is a Millwall fan (and I did mention it to him...jokingly of course) But hey nobody's perfect and his voice suits the band perfectly with his genuine East London roots and Cockney accect.

Sham are currently on tour and new album Last Gang In London (also the name of the tour) will be hitting all your favourite record shops soon. The band are now getting some very good reviews and deserveably so.

This gig from 2007 in Las Vegas wasn't overpopulated and the crowd wern't exactly the most enthusiastic but this was early days for "new" Sham but its a bloody good set and should not be ignored. And if it is then its your loss,not mine!

Punk Friction is officially one year old today. Someone once said a year in blogging is a lifetime and I never understood that until I started a blog myself. When I see how long some of the music blogs have been going,well its amazing and a credit to the bloggers out there. Hats off to all of you. You know who you are.

A really big thanks to all of the people that come over and visit here too. Personally I think this is a pretty shite blog compared to many many others but I've got a lot of hits down there so I must be doing something right I suppose (I've gone through 26 computer mice in one year lol)

Right I'm off to eat my cake and blow out my candle.

The Undertones: The Story Of The Undertones (2003)

I should of posted this one a couple of weeks ago really as a tribute to the late great Mr John Peel who unsurprisingly presents this great documentary which was made in 2001. Of course due to my bloody computer it was not possible but now,again after several failed attempts,it is. If you like The Undertones and you've never seen it,you will love it I'm sure.


66 minutes long at 630mb and not included is the bonus material but you can buy the DVD very cheaply if you Google it (I should take my own advice really!)

Motorhead - Documentary: Live Fast Die Old (2005)

I downloaded this one a couple of years back on torrents and forgot all about it but found it in my Motorhead music folder which was a bit of a pleasant surprise. So yesterday I watched it again and managed to upload it (eventually!) Originally screened on Channel 4 in 2005 and filmed in 2003,this 48 minute documentary is well worth a watch.

The Damned - New Rose 12'' EP (1985)

I don't need an excuse to put The Damned on here but as I saw them last night,here they are anyway.

Last nights gig......well by the time we got there which was early (7.30pm) Girlschool were already playing and played very well in front of a large but static audience. I felt a bit sorry for them really and they deserved better but going on that early isn't going to help. I got my wish with Race For The Devil anyway.

Next up The Damned who kicked off with New Rose and it was bedlam down the front. Alas there were some of local tossers down there trying to cause trouble. Not punks or metalheads....just 20 something Janners with nothing better to do. They didn't get there wish but the atmosphere was not as relaxed as The Specials last week. Anyway the blinding Damned set included Street Of Dreams,Neat Neat Neat, Disco Man,Love Song,Smash It Up,Elouse and an awesome Lookin' At You. I think they were on for about 45 minutes which isn't bad for a "support" band but in reality for fans of The Damned,not long enough. They went down well though considering the majority of the crowd were metalheads.

Next up Motorhead and an odds-on headache. Lemmy is a legend isn't he and the whole place shook as they hammered their songs out. They played alot of new stuff and although its very good (off the Motorizer album) I wanted a greatest hits session so I was a tiny bit miffed. The best part was yet to come though and it was "fitting" that on the 11th day of the 11th month they ended their set with Bomber. I remember saying to my mate "If the encore isn't Overkill and Ace Of Spades I won't be happy" so when the band came on to the distinctive opening mayhem of Ace Of Spades I was happy and the place went off. We were pogoing I think lol. And the night was complete when those thundering drums went into Overkill (the 12'' long version) and I enjoyed this one more than any other. Bloody brilliant song.

Overall out of 10 this gig gets a 9.5. It wasn't as good a night as The Specials but I don't think anything will be. My head is hurting but what do you expect after Lemmy & co. I was disappointed that Lemmy didn't come on and do a song with The Damned and also the fact that Girlschool didn't join Motorhead for a St Valentines Day Massacre (Please Don't Touch) but maybe I'm asking too much. Was it worth £25 quid? Hell yes!

The Stranglers - Always The Sun 7'' (1986)

This single was a bit more popular for the Stranglers. Off the same Dreamtime album and a bit more mainstream. As the sun is currently shining then very apt today.

Just a word on yesterday. It was great to meet long term Punk Friction commenter "arstider" and his pal who bravely ventured into the sea of blue at Morrisons for a 3/4 of a pint each (don't ask where the rest of it went :-) Next time you are over in England arstider then get there a bit eariler!

And a quick word on the Chels vs Man U game. We didn't deserve to win but it makes a change to have a bit of luck against Man U. Their fans were hammering England's Captain all through the game so it was sweet justice when Mr JT rose like a Salmon and headed in the winner. I can't believe what I've been listening to on the radio since I've been home. What a bunch of whingers those lot are. Disputed free kick,disputed goal,should of had a Penalty etc etc Have a word with yourselves and show some grace McTaggart & co!

One of the forgotton Stranglers singles. This one was from the Dreamtime album ala '86. Not one of their better ones but none their stuff on the Epic label was amongst their better songs in my humble opinion. Its still a damn sight better than all that shyte in the charts at the moment

Brand New Rage : A Tribute To UK Subs

Another tribute album,this time to one of the worlds greatest longest lasting Punk bands UK Subs. I can't wait to see the Subs again on the 27th of November.

Another 128 bitrate album but if you like it why not buy it for a bargain £4.50 here http://uksubs.bigcartel.com/product/uk-subs-tribute-cd-brand-new-rage

Meanwhile I'm off to see The Specials tonight and its another one I can't wait for.


Edit#


Well what can I say about The Specials gig. If you read this blog you'll know I'm not one to moan (cough) but I was not happy about paying £32.50 just to see the band. I only paid it because I like them and wanted to see them but I thought deep down it was a rip-off. But last night at a sold out Plymouth Pavillions they skanked the house down from the moment they took to the stage with "Do The Dog" By the time "Gangsters" came on (third song) the place was a jumpin' and 3,000 heads were a boppin'. Many many Skinheads unsurprisingly turned up and lots of faces I haven't seen for years were present. Not a spot of trouble...well the only trouble was trying to get a pint but luckily I had plenty beforehand in the pub. Well beyond my expectations and one of the best gigs EVER. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Not even I can fault it!

Next Wednesday at the same venue its Motorhead,The Damned and Girlschool. If its half as good as the Specials then I will love it.

A Tribute To The Anti-Nowhere League - So What?

I wanted to stick something from The Anti-Nowhere League up and I did attempt a video last week but due to the problems I've been having it was a no no. By some miracle,I've managed to upload this 53mb file so you can have this tribute album instead if you want it. Its mainly sung in English but there are a few German numbers on there too but I like it anyway. For some reason I do like the odd tribute album and this is one of many I have downloaded off good old Soulseek over the years.

The ANL gig last week was excellent but it was a small turnout and very few were down the front (Animal is kind of scary looking I suppose) but it didn't stop them doing an excellent set. They did about 8/9 songs on the encore too so fair play to them. Well worth the 8 quid for sure.
Animal (real name Nick) was very philosophical about the poor turn out when we apoligising about it backstage (myself and Gareth have a knack of piling back there now) Standing up close to him,you really wouldn't think he was 54 now and looks years younger. I did ask him if he was using Oil Of Ulay as well! I blame that on Gaynors Cider.

128 Bitrate and 53mb
