@domjoly That's Mark Dolan! Shit! I used to be a fan of The Richard Taylor interviews. Now a Right Wing Comedian eh - more Right Wing than Comedian. Damn!

@domjoly It is fantastic Dom! Touching the bleak soundscapes of early New Order/Joy Division and countless unheralded European coldwave outfits from the early 80s :)

Was that an episode of NUMBERWANG! or LOOK AROUND YOU that I just watched? #BorisJohnson

The missing link between Pete Wylie, Billy Mackenzie and Scott Walker. I hope to include Patrick Dineen’s work on my page Decade 77-87 soon :)

40 years to the day since SLF were filmed playing Belfast’s POUND CLUB.

A veritable ‘Lesser Free Trade Hall’ moment for N Ireland...

40TH ANNIV of SHOT BY BOTH SIDES, debut single from MAGAZINE
Lyrics matched the music's adventurousness every step: SBBS showed a man refusing to take sides ... ending up "on the outside of everything" https://t.co/ouGOn9P5Lg @GCPunkNewWave @magazineband @Mr_Dave_Haslam #postpunk

Today marks 40th ANNIV of RICH KIDS' eponymous debut single RICH KIDS

Released in a plain red sleeve, RICH KIDS was two minutes of sustained post-punk power-pop and a single lauded by the press https://t.co/ouGOn9P5Lg

This date in 1979, DR. FEELGOOD released MILK AND ALCOHOL
A song that owes much to Lee Brilleaux’s “sweat-spattered, eye-bulging, finger-wagging” performance

Today marks 40th ANNIV of 999’s EMERGENCY.
EMERGENCY was performed with all the channelled ferocity of the old 999 tunes, but had an imaginative arrangement. Shards of chopped guitar chords, an off-kilter https://t.co/ouGOn9P5Lg

This date 1979, THE RUTS release debut single, IN A RUT
Confronting society's ills head on ...Today, we need more bands like The Ruts – their politics have never been more relevant https://t.co/ouGOn9P5Lg @GCPunkNewWave #punk @therutsdc #theruts #ruts #rutsdc #punkrock #punkgirl
