Hope you had a good New Year. Mine's has been somewhat tempered due to the most inopportune bout of the flu and no alcohol has passed my lips since Hogmanay, not a bad thing you may say but due to masochistic tendencies I have forsworn the demon drink for the month of January yet again and therefore have a quite intense month ahead at work without the prize of a gin or two on a Friday night.
Anyway, enough moaning. Here is a record that I dug out and played on Hogmanay for no reason in particular but really enjoyed hearing again.
Westworld - Sonic Boom Bop
which in turn lead to
PWEI - F1-11
which inevitably, in my head anyway, meant that
Big Audio Dynamite - The Bottom Line
followed.

I can remember when those tunes sounded like the future.
Yeah, top tunes especially Westworld and BAD. Your kitchen looks nearly as bad as ours did
Simon - they have dated but not that badly
SA - My kitchen was better than that thankfully (photo purloined from t'internet)what with call offs due to illness and over anxious parents our Hogmanay bash was rather civilised.
I love em all, but it does seem like a long time ago, when people were mixing hip hop with vintage rocknroll riffs. BAD haven't date too badly, although the drum sounds are pretty ropey.
I think Jamie T has a lot of moments that sound like BAD.
I'm glad to hear that's not your kitchen - I didn't have you down as a Rolling Rock man.
Sorry to hear about the flu.
And the no alcohol Jan.

What brief but beautiful blip that was when old punks made sci-fi pop..
I may blog my rare Video Mix of Love Missile F1.11. Came out on a very limited 12" in 86..
Is that Cokes Bacardi Breezer at front of pic? Send an email to my work address tomorrow, I think I am back up and running in the back of beyond.

How could you give up gin, Drew? Just.. Seriously.. How could you do it?! Poor gin never did no harm to -- oh, wait, yes it did.
Carry on.
Nice triptych of tunes there mate, and an excellent excuse to use the word triptych too!
