The Boys - 4 Videos




Well I'm off to the FA Cup Final tomorrow (I'm sure I said that this time last year too:) and I'm staying up in London for the Premier League Title parade (hopefully the double of course) on Sunday. Basically my liver is going to take a bit of a hammering and I won't be around til Monday. In the meantime I'll leave you with these little gems from pop-punksters The Boys.


The first video is their one and only appearance on the OGWT doing Terminal Love and See You Later,the second the promo video for Weekend,the third the promo for the excellent Brickfield Nights and finally from the same set the short but sweet Sway.

Have a great weekend folks!

Joe Strummer - Lets Rock Again! (2004)

In Lets Rock Again! Joe Strummer,the undisputed pioneer of Punk is captured in a revealing and intimate portrait. The documentary hits the road with Strummer's then new band The Mescareros as they tour their second album Global-A-Go-Go. Along the way Joe dispels his Punk persona to reveal a die-hard performer whose main objective is simple - get his music heard and break even. This memoir was shot by filmaker and longtime Strummer friend Dick Rude in the 18 months leading up to Strummer's death in 2002. Not just another rockumentary,Lets Rock Again! is a story about never giving up.


67 minutes long and the time will fly by if you enjoy Joe's music - from the The Mescareros own stuff to old Clash classics. My own personal favourite moments of this DVD are simply listening to Joe's many words of wisdom.


The DVD has many extras (not included here) so if you enjoy this then go out and buy the DVD. You won't regret it!

The Plasmatics - Pier 62 (1979)


A great little 15 minute video of the legendary Plasmatics doing their thang back in '79 on New York's Pier 62. You've probably seen this on You Tube already,but just in case,here it is anyway.


Warning: In the unlikely event that you own a large expensive car,dangerous explosives and have a pier in your back garden that leads into a very large river,do NOT try the stunt at the end of this clip!


I haven't brought this yet but I'm going to soon I think so if you want to see more of The Plasmatics nip over to http://www.plasmatics.com/ and buy the DVD with over 3 hours of what looks like great footage. Anyone out there confirm this is well worth the dosh? And no,I won't be sharing it when I get it before anyone asks!


*Edit* I've just brought it on ebay off some American geezer. I'll probably get it next year if at all but at least it was only 12 quid.

Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Rockpalast 15/06/78


Another great gig from the Rockpalast series. Non DVD quality of course but good enough for the Elvis lovers amoungst us and featuring a mighty fine set of Costello songs,many from the outstanding This Year's Model album. You may spot the obvious deliberate mistake in the tracklist but trust me,theres a very good reason for it!


Oh and totally unrelated - for those who wanted the Big Audio Dynamite video re-upped its done now (against all punk friction policies!) and be found over here

Sex Pistols - Press Conference,Brisbane,Australia (1996)

Something a bit different again for you. This was the one and only then newly reformed Sex Pistols with a press conference Down Under as part of their Filthy Lucre Tour. Unsurprisingly,it was never broadcasted to the people of Oz! Mr Lydon is his usual sarcastic funny self and the star of the show and when I watched this again yesterday I laughed out loud a few times I must admit. Steve Jones has always made me laugh whatever his done. My favourite segment goes something like this.....



Female Reporter - "How much fun are you actually having this time around? Are you having plenty" Well Matlock you look like you've got out of a gutter to come to this press conference"



Glen Matlock - "Thanks a fucking lot"



John Lydon - "You ain't so handsome yourself dear. Jesus You look like you could do with a shave"



Female Reporter - "Well I'm on the radio,I'm not on the stage"



Steve Jones - "You look like Sammy Hagar"



Quality stuff! The Rod Stewart part is great as well.


Theres a couple of short live clips at the end but only clips which I forgot to cut off. The press conference lasts around 23 minutes and the bits I forgot to chop off last another 3 or 4 mins but if you haven't seen this and your'e a Pistols fan,then grab it.

Footballs Fight Club (2002)


With the recent troubles in Sheffield and Luton,now seems a good a time as any for this lazy post. Lazy because its something I already posted on a documentary forum around Christmas time so it saves me any work today.

An interesting two part Channel Four documentary about football hooliganism. The first part explores the 70's and 80's and speaks to some of the leaders of the hooligan firms. How the old cheap football special trains increased away supporters at games,football fashion and also the hooligans own "code of conduct" Part 2 explores how the seeds were sown a year before the tragic Heysal Stadium disaster,shows the knock-on effect from Heysal and the major Government crackdown on the thugs. Alot of top firms leaders were jailed (fitted up by false police evidence in many cases which was later proven in court) With the thugs being squeezed out here,alot of them started causing chaos abroad with England with,for the first time,an England game over in Ireland actually getting abandoned. Contains scenes of violence and a great soundtrack. Ripped from glorious VHS with all the Channel 4 adverts painstakingly removed (my me...not someone else who has reposted this as their own work elsewhere on their "own" documentary blog and ignored my protests!)

It may not be punk rock but its a bloody good watch if you fancy a social documentary for a change. Contains a few old faces from the ugly side of the game including Chelsea's own ex Combat 84 lead vocalist Chrissy Henderson who I must admit does make me laugh with one of his comments and top author Martin King as well as hoodlums from other clubs such as Man Utd,West Ham and Liverpool to name but 3. The fact is,hooliganism was a way of life back then and going to and returning from an away game for the normal fan like myself was a mission back then. So this is a trip back in time.

999 - 3 promo videos



I'm a little hungover today. Thats what happens when your football team win a game they simply must win by 7 goals to nil. I was expecting to see some sensational headlines in the News Of The World on the way up to the game on the train but it appears Mr Steven Gerrard's "Super-injunction" ie "Gagging Order" has saved him for now. Of course,for legal reasons I'm not allowed to discuss what he has alledged to have done but a quick search around the internet putting keywords such as "Steven" Gerrard" "16" "Year" "Old" "Girl" "Pregnant" will give you some idea. If this had of been John Terry,you would of all heard about by now of course and strangly enough,the alledged Gerrard story comes from the very same source as the Terry-gate incident. Its not like I'm trying to destablelize Gerrard or Liverpool Football Club in any way, It just wouldn't be fair with such a massive game coming up on Sunday!

Anyway,enough of all that marlarki,heres a couple of 999 promo videos. First up the amazing Emergency. Probably my favourite 999 single of all time. Next up Homicide and finally the best of the Promo's,the amazing video to Obsessed. Who would of thought 999 could make a video like this one. It makes me laugh every time I watch it.

Ian Dury & The Blockheads - BBC Sight & Sound (1977)

This was shown on BBC4 last night. First broadcast in late 1977 on BBC2 and on BBC Radio One,from the Queen Mary College on the Mile End Road,East London,its Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Also featured at this BBC concert but not featured here was Dr Feelgood but for some reason thats out of sync so I chopped it off and didn't bother uploading it. I also chopped off the gimp presenting this programme (Pete Drummond) because,well....he spoilt it! To make matters worse last night,I managed to miss half the Dr Feelgood documentary which was on before this was grrrrr. It was a bit of a pub rock night you see. So if anyone clocks the Feelgood docu entitled "Oil City Conspiracy" point it out to me please because as a BBC Licence payer,I would like to have it :)


Anyway this 30 minutes of classic Ian Dury is good enough and theres bound of been plenty of you who missed it in the UK and many more from foriegn fields who haven't seen it too.

V.A. - Gabber Gabber Hey: A Loud And Fast Accelerated Tribute To The Ramones (2004)


Thanks to all the people who left a comment on the last post especially me who left the most! No seriously I appreciate it. You see for the last week I have been working round the clock to re-upload every 7'',12'' EP and CD single plus a few albums on this site (and no I'm not re-upping videos before anyone asks again) And if theres any albums not re-upped that you want then give me a shout and I'll do them because deep down I am kind. So the odd comment (ie a "thank you" or a "this is shit") doesn't hurt does it.
Anyway this Ramones tribute album is being posted especially for all the people who come on this site and DON'T comment. I mean this sincerely from the bottom of my heart. This one is for you all. Enjoy it. You deserve it!

The Dickies - Live In Los Angeles (1983)


31 lovely minutes of the legendary Dickies from L.A. back in 1983. Best viewed again on Media Player Classic or Windows Media Player because of the age of the old Mpeg format. I downloaded this one off Winmx (remember that?) Use HJ-Split to join the files together http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/


While I'm here I just want to say how disappointed I am with very high downloads and minium comments here lately. Take the last file for example. 84 people have so far fully downloaded Johnny Thunders (which took an almost an hour to rip and nearly 3 hours to upload) and 3 people have said thanks. If you don't appreciate the files then why download them. Even if you think something is naff - at least open your gob and say so.

This is dedicated to the people who CAN be bothered to comment. You will be the first ones invited into the re-vamped private blog if this shite continues.

Johnny Thunders - Madrid,Spain 14/03/84


Tonights friday night Punk Friction "special" is this performance from March 14th,1984 which was filmed by Spanish TV rock program,"LA Edad de Oro". The line-up features Sylvain Sylvain,Billy Rath and Jerry Nolan. The band runs through the usual standards,and theres a very nice acoustic segment (with a flamenco guitarist backing JT up) as well.

The boys look like they had a good time,and Johnny is in fine form. Theres a little coda at the end with a New York Dolls clip and then and now shots Thunders,Sylvain and Nolan. This is pro-shot and its a very enjoyable. 27 minutes and 54 seconds in total. Use HJ-Split to join all the downloaded files together http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/

The Jam




I'm in London all day tomorrow namely The Globe pub in Baker Street for the best part of the afternoon,then on to Wembley for Chelsea vs Aston Villa FA Cup semi final and then probably up west for an all night piss up after just missing the last train back to Plymouth just like last year. No doubt we'll end up in some Soho chinese curry house around the 5am mark or whatever. What has all this got to do with this post you may ask? Absolutely nothing of course - just making my excuses for posting nothing over the weekend!

Anyway these little clips of The Jam are best viewed on Media Player Classic or Windows Media Player just like the Professionals post as they are old Mpeg format.

First up is a little 16 minute mini documentary from British TV. A bit of an overview really entitled A Time And A Place. Includes the Jam's last live UK TV appearance.

Next up a 12 minute clip from Swedish TV from 1981. A couple of songs (Absolute Beginners & Tales From A Riverbank)a Paul Weller interview and Funeral Pyre to end with.

Then finally 21 minutes of live footage from Newcastle probably from either 1979 or 1980. Songs are Going Underground,Pretty Green,Eton Rifles,To Be Someone,A Bomb In Wardour Street,David Watts & Boy About Town.

The Professionals




Theres been some nice posts of The Professionals + related floating about lately namely over at http://kingrockerrockson.blogspot.com/ and also over at http://mondo-de-muebles.blogspot.com/. Heres my tiny contribution. First up is the video to the single 1 2 3. A quality video if I say so myself.

Next up some VERY ropey footage from American TV in 1981 of them doing Little Boys In Blue and half another song which name escapes me (before the clip ends abruptly) If anyone has better footage of this and hopefully longer footage then share it please!

And finally just for good measure and for a bit of a joke heres Mr Steve Jones during his heavy metal days with the single Freedom Fighter on MTV. Yes thats MTV! Again the footage is a bit ropey but these are old videos. I did stick this one up on youtube 3/4 years ago but MTV got it took off (or was it an embarressed Mr Jones!)

I would advise you to view these vids with Windowa Media Player or better still Media Player Classic because they are the old Mpeg format and not your usual Winamp friendly avi's.

West Ham will brave ridicule next season by wearing pink on their home shirts as part of a saucy new sponsorship deal with erotic retailers Ann Summers.

The chain of high street stores, famed for sex toys and lingerie, are owned by David Gold, joint chairman of the Hammers.

Sportsmail can reveal a tantalising first glimpse of the new shirt, with pink flashes added to the traditional colours.

Chief executive of Ann Summers, Jacqueline Gold, said: 'I am extremely happy with the cheeky pink addition to the claret and blue. We feel it truly represents the large number of female fans who support West Ham'
