Marianne Faithfull and Mick Jagger
an appropriate response to reality...
A blog nominally about music and flicks that will jump the lights at any opportunity and take a hard left into a bad part of town.
Then we switch off the lights, leave the motor running and see what comes our way...
All images and opinions are my own. Actually some of the images aren't...

The Jesus and Mary Chain - “Upside Down” (7” single)
I traveled 50 miles to buy this on 7” as a teenager. After an initial first play on John Peel’s show it was the most exciting record I’d ever heard that I could call my own.
Still worth every step of the journey.
The B side was no slouch either. If I remember correctly I returned from Virgin Records, Oxford Street, London back to the Home Counties with this and a copy of Psychedelic Jungle by heaven’s own Cramps.
It was probably all over by that point. Bzzzzzzzzzz…

Dwarves - “I’m a Living Sickness” (video)
Reigniting the blog with this primo piece of sickness from Dwarves before they got all fast. It’s hard to beat the original by The Calico Wall but it does gets close.
Dwarves remained psycho for many years to come - their Horror Stories LP and Lucifer’s Crank 7” are good places to start - and they eventually got dropped by Sub Pop after faking the singer’s death in the wake of all the grunge angst doing the rounds in the mid-90s.
They made an intense album called Toolin’ for a Warm Teabag that oozes wrong. The cheapo sleeve should be banned.
Dwarves fulfilled the mantra as laid down by the blessed Lux Interior - “Bad Music for Bad People.”

STP - Hey Bastard (7” single)
The world’s finest 7” single. Melts any rekkid in the immediate vicinity. Currently glowing with rage under the bed in the spare room. Boom!
Short-lived primo punk rock outfit from NYC featuring the best use of the word ‘bastard’ ever committed to rekkid. Discuss. I think the band fell out but it matters not. In 1min 10second they made the best US punk record record in years. Mission accomplished. I bought this back in Eastern Bloc Records whilst working there I think. Rare as hen’s teeth if you can find it.
Sounds f**king righteous. Should be free for all… I guess now it is…
