Gurrumul and Paul Kelly - Amazing Grace

Pig-gate

"Doctor, Doctor I've put 'a private part of my anatomy' somewhere I shouldn't."
"Don't worry, I've got some oinkment for that."

So while Corbyn was fighting against Apartheid, Cameron was fucking pigs...
Anyway that should keep the anti Corbyn crap off the front page for a couple of minutes at least. 
Words fail me in this case though

Thanks Adam

Good Company

For someone who has been described as a 'rudimentary' bass player (though I have to say that I love the Television demos he played on) boy has Richard Hell consistently had great guitarists around him. From Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd in Television and Bob Quine and Ivan Julian in the original Voidoids through to Marc Ribot and Bill Frisell on the re-recorded Destiny Street
Staring In Her Eyes (Original version with Bob Quine & Naux)

A Drink with Shane MacGowan


A Drink with Shane MacGowan was a new form of chat show hosted by the Pogues frontman and commissioned in the 1990s by Channel 4 arts supremo Waldemar Januszczak. However, they never broadcast this anarchic debut featuring live music, lively discussion between actors, writers, and musicians, pizza and a fair few drinks...
Featuring in this episode: Johnny Depp, Traci Lords, Joe Gores, Chris Penn, Sy Richardson, Del Zamora and music from Los Lobos, Jimmy Witherspoon and The Homewreckers

BIG respect to Benga for opening up about his mental health issues last night on twitter

Mark Fisher: Kill the Malcolm Tucker in your head

Endlessly checking tweets, micro-stagemanaging every public appearance, generalising the bizarre obsessions of the Westminster village: we don't have to do this any more. Lose the fantasy that most of the population is sitting there earnestly watching PMQs and judiciously scoring the combatants' performances. We don't have to impress the corporate elite anymore, overconforming like poor kids with a scholarship to private school.
Patience, fortitude, steady purposiveness are the key virtues now. Let them run around in a frenzy while we start the slow but immediately rewarding work of resocialising the UK's boring dystopia

Fraudband - Keyed In


After a tour of Europe they will be playing The Tote in Melbourne on Sun 15th Nov

Can anyone help me out?

I don't know if anyone can help me but I'm searching for two tracks. Both versions of these songs were only released on these two records. They were not included when they released different versions of tracks on the 'Blank Generation' CD than was released on the vinyl. 
Richard Hell and The Voidoids' 'You Gotta Lose' from 'The Sire Machine Turns You Up' and Hell's version of 'Love Comes In Spurts' from the Vertigo sampler 'New Wave'.
Needless to say I used to have both until the great record collection heist of 82 (*sigh)
Thanking you in advance
