Good to be back home
John Peel at home. I know how he feels (and not just about the fact that there is a need for all that music to be transportable)
…yes, it has been quiet for the last few days here. Mrs. 17 Seconds and I headed down south to London to catch up with friends and family (not that the two are mutually exclusive, you understand). I love visiting London, but boy does it bring home to me that Scotland is home.
Anyway, we are now back, and glad to be reunited with our cats, who have been, once again, been looked after by Ken from Aberfeldy, who is a legend.
There will be more posts here (including a review of the forthcoming debut from Wake the President) very soon. In the meantime, I had the journey from King’s Cross back to Edinburgh soundtracked by the 1980 Festive Fifty (all, um 65 tracks of it).
So here are two tracks…
Wah! Heat -’Better Scream.’ mp3 (1980 Festive Fifty no.65)
Mo-Dettes -’White Mice.’ mp3 (1980 Festive Fifty no.56)
Love The Modettes’s song. Remember buying this single and going to see them- unfortunately they weren’t that good at leas I didn’t think so.
Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you, Kind sir!
nice choices Ed, Mo-dettes must be in the air; I dug out the vinyl yesterday.
I don’t know much of the rest of their stuff, but I wouldn’t mind investigating. They remind me a little of the Slits on this track (I mean that as a compliment!)
Bloody hell, John: aren’t you wearing any trousers on this picture?!?
Dirk
jeez, hadn’t thought about it like that; I think he’s wearing shorts (at least, I sure as heck hope so)…
