Streets is one of the most prized possessions I have in the punk vein, it's got early tracks by The Members, The Lurkers, John Cooper Clarke and Talk Talk.<BR/>The drummer on this "Terminal Stupid" single is, according to what I've read, Steve Nicol from Eddie & The Hot Rods. That style of drumming is certainly similar.Gumbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12455028681972536669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19286023.post-71525057369278686562007-12-26T19:07:00.000+01:002007-12-26T19:07:00.000+01:00I LOVE the Snivelling Shits. Even though they nly released this one 7inch. I believe they also had a track on The Streets comp under a different name? The Captain Oi release from a few years back is a must have by the way...<I>Bring Me The Head of Yukio Mishima</I> and <I>Et moi, Et Moi Et Moi</I> are both as good as the 7inch. In fact, I posted Et Moi way back on my blog with a great photo of Mr Dadomo as well!<BR/><BR/>http://www.lastdaysofmanonearth.com/blog/?p=67<BR/><BR/><BR/>Cheers!<BR/><BR/>//JoeJoe Stumblehttp://www.lastdaysofmanonearth.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19286023.post-91076866135811926822007-12-19T04:01:00.000+01:002007-12-19T04:01:00.000+01:00Hi Niels, I'm glad the blog's alive and well and the readings as interesting and enjoyable as always. I agree absolutely with what you wrote here. The role of the journalists is even clearer in the early UK scene. What might had happened with the Pistols and co without the press? Caroline Coon is arguably responsible for having associated the word 'punk' with those bands, thus unknowingly coining the meaning of the word it had from then on (not exactly the meaning it had in Punk magazine or the Ramones).<BR/>Jon Savage gives some quotes from the British music press circa 73-74 (Nick Kent and people like that) more in the sense you were talking about, of Lester Bangs, Creem etc<BR/>Thanks, keep on<BR/>FernandoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
