Wine Will Be Flat And Currys Gone Cold

As disturbing as an Anthony Burgess novel, with a rhythm section of Foxton and Buckler and the lyrical genius of Weller. Despite the grainy nature of the footage and the poor quality of the sound Down In The Tube Station At Midnight is as raw and punchy today as it was thirty years ago. The Arctic Monkey owe a slight debt of gratitude to these boys. Less than 500 views, there is just something fundamentally wrong with the world.

I sometimes wonder if Paul Weller has a large painting in his attic...

Neil said...

I dunno... it would explain why the Style Council were rubbish!!! A fixation with painting instead of music. You might be onto something

Sleepy said...

I've blocked the Style Council from my musical memory!
*Shudders*
