CRASS how does it feel? | Crass Records221984/6 Recorded and mixed in August 1982 at Southern Studios, London. Comes in a foldout sleeve with inner sleeve with printed lyrics. George Barber wrote in the crass story, Having had a bit more time to consider their response, Crass released another single: ‘How Does It Feel To Be The Mother Of A Thousand Dead?’ A direct attack on Thatcher, it came in a black sleeve decorated with white graveyard crosses. When, during Prime Ministers Question Time,Thatcher was asked if she’d heard the record, things were getting serious. The Conservative Party attempted to fight back, as the Guardian reported: “The Attorney General, Sir Michael Havers, has been asked by the Conservative MP for Enfield North, Mr. Who had previously written in his column:“Rock music is often used by the young to voice their protests.

PIL don’t take the stage until 1am and by this time the natives are decidedly restless. Lydon spends the majority of the set with his back to the audience. He later claims he was trying to get Richard Dudanski to keep time, and comments, “We did a shit gig, to a shit audience in a shit place. We all had a horrible time”. This gig was later cited by Keith Levene as the reason PiL decided to play (even) less live shows… This gig was Richard Dudanski’s (ex the 101er’s) last appearance on the drums for Public Image Limited. The Pogues: In the wake of the Medusa. [E.O.M.S.]: Marquee Moon review by Nick Kent (NME Feb 1977) Cut the crap, junior, he sez and put the hyperbole on ice. I concur thus. Sometimes it takes but one record – one cocksure magical statement – to cold-cock all the crapola and all-purpose wheatchaff mix ‘n’ match, to set the whole schmear straight and get the current state of play down down down to stand or fall in one, dignified granite-hard focus.
Such statements, are precious indeed. Marquee Moon, the first legitimate album release from Manhattan combo Television however, is one: a 24-carat inspired and totally individualist creation which calls the shots on all the glib media pigeon-holing that’s taken place predating its appearance; a work that at once makes a laughing stock of those ignorant clowns, who have filed the band’s work under the cretinous banner of “Punk-rock” or “Velvet Underground off-shoot freneticism” or even (closer to home, maybe, but still way off the bulls-eye) “teeth-grinding psychotic rock” (‘Sister Ray’ and assorted sonic in-laws).

The Daily Swarm reports that this new Sex Pistols Fragrance offers a “fresh, restless bite of lemon, sharpened and intensified by a defiant black pepper.” It’s being sold exclusively at the Fragrance Shop and, we’re told, is “electrified by aldehydes, the fragrance exudes pure energy, pared down and pumped up by leather, shot through with heliotrope and brought back down to earth by a raunchy patchouli.”
As that copy suggests, the accompanying advertising campaign’s on par with Radiohead’s 1993 Beavis And Butt-Head spot: “Is this the scent of Anarchy? Certainly, there’s a revolution in this bottle… “ Craftwerk: The 10 Weirdest Sex Pistols Crafts On The Web. Craftwerk: The 10 Weirdest Sex Pistols Crafts On The Web 10. Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten Dolls Perhaps the most interesting thing about owning matching Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten dolls is related to the following thought exercise: While we all know that Rotten is something like a genius, in Sid's case it is not entirely clear who is more intelligent: the actual man or his stuffed and sewn counterpart. If you were starting a band today and needed a bassist, whom would you want to recruit? The actual Sid, or Sid Stichous, the sock toy?
In terms of sheer musical acumen, probably a wash. At least Sid Stichous isn't wearing a swastika T-shirt, so we have that to consider. It was 1975 when fashion maven and self-styled music impresario Malcolm McLaren had his first fateful encounter with the then-17-year-old John Lydon, soon to be notoriously rechristened Johnny Rotten.
