rip her to shreds
October 5th, 2009
millionaire -KELIS
it may just look like that rain might be clearing up… i believe i see sun. still bloody cold again though graarrr
sex & drugs and rock’n'roll -IAN DURY THE BLOCKHEADS
spanish stroll -MINK DE VILLE
(i don’t want to go to) chelsea -ELVIS COSTELLO
rip her to shreds -BLONDIE
blank generation -RICHARD HELL AND THE VOIVOIDS
in the flesh -BLONDIE
“in the flesh’ being the b side from the single with ‘rip her to shreds’ as the A side -but radio stations played the softer b side -by mistake apparently but it hit number one in australia and therfor propelled blondie into fame and popularity etc. etc. all this i know from an awesome doco on this period of time NY77 -about the evolution of music -punk/hiphop/disco that came out of NY in 77 when New York was at it’s most scummy run down and violent. of course enabling all these musicians to live in and around the same area and have clubs(CBGB/Studio54 etc) street parties etc without the police/councils etc shutting them down -they were understaffed and didn’t care
elevation -TELEVISION
another girl another planet -THE ONLY ONES
rock’n'roll radio -RAMONES
which got rudely interrupted when i tripped over a cord…bah!
because the night -PATTI SMITH (written by bruce spingstein)
also last night was the series 7 ages of rock on prime -this one about art rock with the likes of the velvet underground/bowie/roxy music/genesis/pink floyd etc… was quite good -great footage, not spectacular but worth a look, seemed quite brit orientated however -which i suppose? is what art rock would be considered to be predominantly -however often documentaries of this very ernest/idolatry ilk tend to ignore what i consider quite a fundamental point and that is that even some very serious, very clever, popular bands had sex appeal with, very very good looking lead singers ie syd barret ( a very early crush of mine at about 12 i believe) dave gilmore also quite pretty, dee dee ramone, blondie, richard hell, tom verlaine, david bowie, ian curtis, paul weller blah blah blah etc etc etc
5 years -DAVID BOWIE (ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS)
sweet jane (live) -THE VELVET UNDERGROUND
shock the monkey -PETER GABRIEL
may seem somewhat out of place but was in the genre of ‘artrock’ the outrageous costumes he wore were retarded, spectacular and rediculous when he was in genesis -awesome… i’ve always had a secret love of peter gabriel which one only releveal’s occasionally (my first tape…) & phil collins pointed out their kinda lack of sex appeal so went outrageous on it -hence the costumes and show antics… and following a similar vien and staying british for wee while… my favs of the big day out line up
sea inside a sea -THE HORRORS
smile -LILY ALLEN
fuck the pain away -PEACHES
and just to finish off -a recent discovery which is pretty outrageous really especially considering how much i love this kind of sound/energy/ethos
statement of vindication -BIKINI KILL

phew! had to play something irreversably cool just to counteract the possible judgement and reputation loss… cause you know there’s nothing more horrifying than the possibility of uncool status… yeeeaaa…. actually there probably wouldn’t be fierce 2 minute punk unless there had been overblown overproduced 5minute long guitar solo rock indulgence indeed…

mick was teaching me to drive!!! was he qualifed?? and i was just hanging out and chatting to ian and feeling guilty that maybe i was enjoying it WAY too much! they were in auckland because of the recession…hmm hehe… serious music geek dream i guess… to my credit? i HAVE hung out with Mick and met Ian so it’s not too seriously stalkery? or is it??? (now i just sound like a wanker..oh dear) i’m thinking it was becasue i posted on my facebook page an interview between the two on Ian’s show ’soft focus” grrowwwlll… oops
