And Blondie.... > scoff all you want to, but The Human League put on a damn fine show when i > saw them! Talking of acts of yesteryear... I'm six feet one and a half. Forty three years of age. And not as daft as I make out. So why, when some pop act I wasn't even that mad on in the first place are performing their first number, do I get all emotional and feel my eyes getting all woosy wet? Because, ladies and gentlemen, the 'pop act' in question were Blondie, and Ms Debbie Harry had just followed the rest of the band on stage at Liverpool 's cozy Carling Academy, and - even this close-up! - was looking darn fine with her new slimmed down look, bleached blonde hair and, no doubt, surgery. And the band's introductory instrumental had suddenly stopped to be replaced by that simple little riff that we've all heard so many times before and Ms Harry had just introduced her famous (and distinctive) tonsils to us. Yep. Blondie were playing Atomic and I suddenly - and belatedly - realised that this wasn't just a thoroughly likeable ditty. It was a genuine pop classic! And I don't know what came over me. Perhaps it was just seeing in the flesh someone who had - without me buying any of their records other than Rapture and (bizarrely) War Child - provided something of a soundtrack to my youth. Maybe it was the realisation that there was a genuine pop icon less than twenty feet away from me. I dunno, I can't explain it - I'd only gone because my girlfriend likes them. I just know that I never felt like this when I saw Roy Wood who's singles I HAD bought as a child, though admittedly I have to concede to finding him the somewhat less attractive of the two. Following Atomic with Dreaming (again much better than I remembered) and the mighty Hanging On The Telephone, it was a fantastic opening triple whammy. We then got loads more hits, a couple of early tracks (X-Offender, Rip Her To Shreds) and lots of new stuff - most of which was pretty good - including one track which she dedicated to Joey Ramone, and the fab catchier than catchy new single Good Boys. Admittedly, the show went on a bit too long for me, but Harry's voice was excellent. And whilst she might still dance like a Thunderbird - albeit one that aged more than Lady Penelope ever will - she was certainly a lively performer, lapping up the love the audience gave her (and the pair of knickers someone threw!). As for the band, they were more powerful than you might imagine - mainly due to having Clem Burke on drums. OK, he might be a bit on the showy side, but he was a one man powerhouse and, if I was still sad enough to try and work out top ten musician categories, then Clem would definitely now be gate-crashing my top drummer list! I mean, if he was able to get me to take my eyes off the delicious smile of our Debs for the odd moment, just by hitting some skins, he was doing something right. My only complaint was that the band were occasionally guilty of being over frilly (though Stein had some nice sub-Verlaine moments) and that the keyboards were sometimes a little too 80' s -and how ironic is that complaint!! But Rapture was REALLY funky, the ska-ed up The Tide Is High (how I used to hate that one!) was hilarious, and the classic Heart of Glass was beautifully bouncy. And the encore of Call Me (Christ I'd forgotten all about that one), War Child (I didn't expect that!) and the three minute comedy drama that is One Way Or Another, was performed with a real thrashy spirit! If you've ever had a soft spot for Blondie, then try and catch them on this tour. I never thought I'd utter these few words, but...I even enjoyed Sunday Girl! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2003 15:14:58 +0000 From: "John Roberts" Subject: Re: [idealcopy] John Foxx and the Human League! And Blondie.... They played in Leicester last night. As someone who grew up with a copy of Parallel Lines I toyed with the idea but I didn't go. It was #27 apparently. Instead I went to see five local punk bands headlined by some out of towners called the Dead Pets. They were absolutely crap but I was prepared to take that risk for only #3. The twiddly bass bit in Atomic is one of *the* twiddly bass bits of all time. With all this bigging up of old bands I may well be tempted to go to the Dexys gig here next week after all.

They're running a 4 CDs for $10 special. These particular bargain bins are filled with Failed CDs of 1987-1994, with a Special Concentration in 1989-91. So you'll see a lot of flop (sales-wise, anyway) followups like the second Soul II Soul album, the B-52's GOOD STUFF, and any number of Corey Hart albums. Anyway, the point of relevance to this list is that both locations I visited had several copies of IT'S BEGINNING TO AND BACK AGAIN. So if you're in the U.S. and have a Media Play handy (or possibly conglomerate siblings Sam Goody and Musicland, though I have no idea if those franchises are also running the sale), you can pick up a new copy of IBTABA for as little as $2.50 plus tax. Oh yeah, and the last two (i.e., post WORD UP!) Cameo albums are in there too! :-) codpiece ahoy, Miles ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2003 17:07:26 +0100 From: Bart van Damme Subject: Re: [idealcopy] And Blondie....

Thought fans of the Clash might be interested in this. There seems to be a few people latching onto the side of the band I liked least - i.e. their preachiness - but Billy Braggs version of Garageland is spirited if nothing else. But pride of place for me goes to...Sparks! Doing "We are The Clash" As Harry Hill would say, "What are the chances of that happening!" Keith Uncut all-star poll reveals the greatest songs of The Clash in a special collector's edition that also includes: a.. A choice of two souvenir covers b.. A choice of two CDs of specially recorded Clash covers c.. An exclusive interview with Mick Jones and Paul Simonon d.. A special competition to win Clash albums, DVDs and books London, 1977. Punk has declared war on a complacent British music scene dominated by rock dinosaurs like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Genesis and Yes. The Sex Pistols are the first of the punk bands to terrorise the establishment and excite a generation of fans who have grown disenchanted with just about everything and want a music that gives voice to their anger and frustration. The Pistols are soon joined at the musical barricades by a host of like-minded bands, most notable among them The Clash. Initially derided, they would go on to become not just the greatest of all the punk bands, but arguably the greatest British rock group since The Rolling Stones and The Who. In a career that lasted six years, they recorded a host of classic songs - records that defined their time, from the blazing punk manifestos of "White Riot", "London's Burning" and "1977" to mature rock masterpieces like "(White Man In) Hammersmith Palais" and "London Calling". They split prematurely in 1983, victims of their own success, which led to band rivalries and the in-fighting that often ensues when international success follows years of struggle. In the years that followed, there was an endless clamour for them to reform. But unlike The Sex Pistols, whose reunion tours have been largely embarrassing, The Clash steadfastly refused to get back together - however much money they were offered. Their legend meant more to them than a financial killing. Last year, however, the possibility of a reunion seemed more likely than ever before. Mick Jones had joined Joe Strummer on stage for the first time in 20 years and the band were about to be inducted into the Rock'N'Roll Hall Of Fame, at which they were widely expected to perform together. Then Strummer, perhaps the best-loved rock star of his generation, died of a heart attack at the age of 50 and the dream of a reunited Clash was over for good. A year on from Joe's untimely death, Uncut celebrates the music he made with The Clash in a special collector's edition featuring an all-star vote for the band's greatest songs. In a poll that is bound to have Clash fans arguing all over the world, over 60 music and movie celebrities have voted for their favourite Clash tracks, including Paul Weller, Bob Geldof, The Buzzcocks' Pete Shelley and Steve Diggle, former Sex Pistol Glen Matlock, Norman Cook, Roddy Frame, Butch Vig of Garbage, Once Upon A Time In Mexico director Robert Rodriguez, original Clash drummer Terry Chimes, Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, Pete Wylie, Don Letts, DJ and director of the "London Calling" video and Westway To The World Clash documentary, and many more. To complete a package no serious lover of classic rock music will want to miss, Uncut has also produced two exclusive CDs, featuring specially recorded versions of Clash songs by artists including Billy Bragg, Sparks, Edwyn Collins, Jesse Malin, Pete Wylie, Asian Dub Foundation, Hawksley Workman, Hamell On Trial, Josh Rouse, Thea Gilmore, former Replacements and Guns N' Roses bassist Tommy Stinson, and up-and-comers My Red Cell, Joy Zipper, The Fiery Furnaces and Mr David Viner. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2003 17:24:36 EST From: MarkBursa@aol.com Subject: Re: [idealcopy] "What are the chances of that happening!" > Thought fans of the Clash might be interested in this.
