For Your Viewing Pleasure..

Now that we all have broadband, well actually now I have broadband, and able to see loads of stuff from my past, I thought I would post this link to a great American band - The Plasmatics. This is one of their best known tracks that I love. They were certainly out there. Around 1979/1980 and this is a good clip. Enjoy.

They used to smash TV's on stage and were also famous for blowing up real cars on stage too!

You like that kinda behaviour, you should check out one of my favourite bands (even though I've never heard any of their music) Hanatarash from Japan - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanatarash

although this link doesn't give much away about them. They were the early band of Eye from the Boredoms* and involved incidents such as burning a venue down, the singer nearly chopping his leg off with a chainsaw - by accident - and driving a digger through the wall of a venue, through the audience and onto the stage, etc.

My heroes...

*the drummer of which is Yoshimi P-We, best known outside of noise music as the subject of the Flaming Lips song Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.

Sadly, I haven't made the move to broadband, so can't share in this 'viewing pleasure' - but I can share this bit of trivia - back in the '80s Plasmatic's singer Wendy O William's put out a single with Motorhead's Lemmy.

What was it? A cover of the Country Music 'classic', 'Stand By Your Man'

Apparently it was the reason Motorhead's guitarist quit.

The Plasmatics were awesome. I've got a DVD of videos of theirs somewhere.

Have you guys seen Reform School Girls with Wendy O? Great flick!

No I haven't seen Reform School Girls. I will put it on my to-do list. She was such a legend Wendy O. Vege, animal rights, out there art and dress. Pity she took her own life in 1998, but as she said she was disillusioned with people by then. And who could blame her? The world hasn't gotten a better place since then. And it is humans that [fork] things up in this world, other animals do their own thing and get by. Humankind seems hell bent on destruction and too many bad things. RIP Wendy.

Another favourite from my past...Anti Nowhere League....So What? Saw them in Glasgow in '82. mayhem, they did a cover of 'Rock around the Clock'. Though they sang '[fork] around the Clock'. Good times.
