I didn't pay any attention whatsoever to music press at that age and wasn't aware of the controversy you mention so that's very interesting.<br /><br />Surely peroxide power pop is too big to be a microgenre!

Peroxide power pop, you may have made up,( but you miss the fact that one of my earliest bands was called Peroxide Romance). I hope that you have a profession writing about music, in my opinion you are much better than the fakes that used to write for NME, Sounds, Melody maker et al. I always preferred Wendy's fabulous scream on a B side called "Kiss Me". Carol Decker deserved the hard time she got, they were crap.

He's totally out of it, announces an open stereo for those who can still manipulate CDs, i.e. everyone but him.<br /><br />Up I go and instantly whittle his collection down to Pop Art and Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds. I put on the Jeff Wayne, but we hadn't even reached slowly but surely before Lee had puked down his cab driver's v-neck and fallen asleep.<br /><br />On the basis that a) he claimed he'd never played it once and b) I was drunk, I made off with that Pop Art. Largely because I wanted to solve the age-old riddle of whether William B. in Andy Warhol's Dead is referring to Burroughs, Blake or Brown. Of course, I've never played it once, and I never will until I'm able to transfer it to a C90 and have it blaring out the windows of a boxy yellow Datsun as I'm driven back from a Call of Cthulhu session.<br /><br />So long story short I should probably pop it back through his letterbox, assuming he's still alive.<br /><br />I think you could have dedicated a couple of paragraphs to the Halo Jones angle, to be honest. I know you were there at the Roadmender.<br /><br />Oh, I'd almost forgotten Sex Kick for a moment there, that'll never lose its comedy edge and yet nobody to my knowledge has attempted a cover version, even Paul Anka.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02105114526496564116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524462613774767993.post-52945172616227018102009-08-28T04:38:44.701-07:002009-08-28T04:38:44.701-07:00What (IMHO) also did for Ver Trans was their appro...What (IMHO) also did for Ver Trans was their appropriation of retro imagery (all those cardboard Elvises in the video and, well, just look at that band... they can't make up their mind if they're the Pistols, the Smiths, Blondie or Bad Manners), which seemed very calculating the post-jingly-jangly indie '80s. <br /><br />Of course, La James went on to try the "cred" collaboration with Elvis Costello (he knocked out an album's worth of material in a weekend for her to record), and then marry one of The Clash (no?). <br /><br />She's not gone away, either: http://www.facebook.com/pages/WENDY-JAMES/213741245108 Has a bit of the Marianne Faithfulls about her these days.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504010144129793667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524462613774767993.post-87218096553926674082009-06-11T22:36:56.111-07:002009-06-11T22:36:56.111-07:00It is Baby I Don't Care indeed that includes t...It is Baby I Don't Care indeed that includes that scream.

I remember Wendy appearing on Des O'Connor Tonight to promote the awful Born To Be Sold (which was essentially We Didn't Start The Fire written before going into the library) and because of all the stick over her semi-nakedness in the mags, turned up in a full suit and tie. Des was a bit disappointed.<br /><br />She did look fab, whatever she wore, there is no hiding from that. I suspect Fuzzbox stuck pins in a knitted effigy of her for a good while.Matthew Ruddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05842392964784000029noreply@blogger.com
