I remember The Mission - weren't they a spin-off from some other big Indie Goth band. Not the Southern Death Cult .... But that story reminds me - I used to drink in this "wee man's bar" in Glasgow (no women, no female toilets, just sad, derelict males getting slowly drunk in the afternoon) and standing at the bar for all the time I was there, and sinking whisky after whisky, was Mark E Smith of The Fall. Turns out they were playing a gig in Glasgow.

But, he was always drunk anyway ... anytime

There was a programme on BBC 2 or 3 last year about the history of British punk rock and smith was on it , he looked and behaved like a belligerent drunk . One you would avoid in the street . He looked ancient .
I had to watch in disbelief . I am not a fall fan but was always under the impression he was an intelligent articulate person . He didnt come across like it .

A girl friend at the time loved U2 and to my shame made me go see them

It coulda been worse - could have been Richard Marx. Not that I would know about that

Is that a confession . My son

[VHscraps]

Yep, that's him! Think he drinks possibly to cope with the world!! I saw them once, in 2000, at the time of this record (below), when he had a pretty hot band - and I can honestly say it was one of the best gigs I have ever been to (and I wasn't a fan):

I had never noticed it before and it may be just that track but there is a bit of Ian Curtis in there .

Shit's slow at the mo ... so here are / were the kings of the Sunset Strip before VH started to take off. It's The Hollywood Stars, ladies and gents with 'Sunrise on Sunset'. Nearly a very good tune - I mean, I like it a lot even thought it is kinda 1975 rock-by-numbers. Good guitar solo in there. and Nice lapels on those jackets boys:

They wrote / recorded the original version of 'King of the Nighttime World', which was on Kiss's Destroyer - and which Simmons and Stanley managed to wangle a co-writing credit ... Sounds like the same fuckin tune to me. See below.

... and here it is. This was recorded 1974.
