A Band To Watch

Television
Glasgow Apollo, Scotland

audience recording)

01 Fire Engine
02 Venus de Milo
03 Poor Circulation
04 The Dream's Dream
05 Prove It
06 Ain't That Nothin'
07 Friction
08 Careful
09 Foxhole
10 Little Johnny Jewel
11 Knockin' On Heaven's Door
12 Marquee Moon
LISTEN
Now this takes me back. Was a great double bill. Mr. S Daly (ex Orange Juice and now of Vanity Fair) gave me a copy of this tape when he worked at Listen Records but I lost it years ago and have only ever seen a very low bit rate stream here. But by copying the link location and then changing the .wma to .mp3 lo and behold a much better quality stream (VBR) turns up. To download just 'save page as' even if the page seems to be taking a long time to load. BTW  the phrase 'Television a band to watch' was printed on round, silver promo stickers at the time of Marquee Moon's release.

Truth!

Heavy Metal Junior: A Portrait Of Pre-Teen Rebellion


Hatred are a heavy metal band from Scotland. And they’re all under 14 years old.
This hilarious film follows the band as they prepare for their first ever live performance.
In the weeks before their show, their bassist quits, and they have to write some original songs to perform.
One of the best parts of the film was watching their manager (the drummer’s father) show them some showbiz moves of his own.
Along the way, we get some insight into band dynamics that wouldn’t seem out of place in a film like This Is Spinal Tap, except with parents as stand-ins for managers and girlfriends
(Thanx Alan!)

David Peace: Red or Dead

(Review)

Now The War

Edward Snowden leaves Moscow airport

Snowden's Russian Papers

Via
The problem with the sick, obsessive superpower revealed to us by Edward Snowden is that it cannot bring itself to utter the one line it absolutely must utter before it can move on: “My name is America and I’m a dataholic.” For American spies, Big Data is like crack cocaine: just a few doses – and you can forget about mending your way and kicking the habit. Yes, there’s an initial illusion of grandeur and narcissistic omnipotence – just look at us, we could prevent another 9/11! – but a clearer, unmediated brain would surely notice that one’s judgment has been severely impaired. Prevent another 9/11? When two kids with extensive presence on social media can blow up a marathon in Boston? Really? All this data, all this sacrifice– and for what..?
