I forgot about the Fall car advert! Remember seeing it and thinking "Sounds like a Fall rip-off" , though I'd already drifted away from them after 'Levitate' and the big split after the NYC gig punch-up... Another massive one was "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" by The Clash which got reissued...

Just finished another two... Scored 'Valis' on eBay and am keen to get stuck into it next.

"Theme" by PiL was allegedly used by British Airways in the early '80s in a scrapped advert, but I've never seen any of evidence of this. I remember hearing 'Nervous Breakdown' by Black Flag in a mobile ad some time in the 2000s, and am sure 'Where Eagles Dare' by the Misfits (minus the...

Bring on the sexbots. I kind of preferred Concrete Island to High Rise.

Dunno, I heard he had a meaty right hook? What bit of his face would you even aim at?

Huh? Grizzly bears - you just raise your arms above your head and they run away. Lions - you just walk towards them and they scarper (ask any Masai warrior). Elephants - just slap their trunks and they back off, it’s not like they can chase you anyway. Chimpanzees are fucking vicious though...

In 'The Unteleported Man', the drones hover above and harrass debtors, loudly reminding them how much they owe and asking, mockingly, how they intend to repay - for maximum embarrassment and social death.

GENIUS T-shirts, more like.

Oh yeah, biker gang bureaucracy is off the chart. We couldn't just form our own MC and put on patches and ride around for a laugh. You have to apply to the leading club in your area, and submit your name and colours for approval, and they can't clash with another club's, and you can't wear your...

@Leo Apart from being incredibly bad taste, I don't even know what point he's trying to make? And are those crossed screwdrivers under the skull? @william_kent That guy's a prize bell-end. You just know he changed into something else after the photo shoot rather than test his 'pranks' on the...

Fuck, that is dark. Do you remember the "Adolf Hitler - World Tour" T-shirts with the dates of the invasions on the back? Insane to think you could get those in the same West End tat shops selling postcards of Lady Di and London Bridge back then. Kray Twins T-shirts were also a big '80s thing.

This is inspired by the (current) last page of the ‘Strange American Things’ thread, though I thought it might be dragging it off-topic to post it there… What are the dodgiest T-shirts you’ve seen? Have you ever worn one? And if so, what was the reaction? When I was about 19 I went out wearing...

I’ve never really understood the classical avant-garde, meaning I don’t know how to appreciate it on an academic or intellectual level. I guess I’m just drawn to stuff that sounds weird and mental, especially if it disturbs me or makes me laugh. “De Natura Sonorum” may be brilliant for all I...

I've been enjoying this, especially Side 2 (really like Garden and Status People). Some bits really make me think of Pere Ubu.

Not a massive FEAR fan but there's some fun footage of them and their fans going bananas on SNL too, introduced by Donald Pleasence.

I know very little about SNL or US TV in general, so American Dissensians may have to help me...but SNL's a comedy/music/chat show, right? Presumably they'll be working to a script, and there'll possibly be some jokes about electric cars, but is it really likely that he's going to go off script...

Is the question "Do you think it's likely?" or "Should we start one for a laugh?" Not going to lie, Jersey creeps me out. What's it famous for? A serial killer, child murders and Bergerac. Not worth scrapping over.

Selling your soul should get you a little more than a guest slot on Cannon & Ball. Also weird that he re-recorded some of the old stuff as B-sides to the hits - cue a bunch of 7 year olds jiving around to Beat My Guest. Godfather of Oi!

Fleetwood and Mac are like the anti Mark E Smiths...holding it together at the back while the newcomers totally alter the sound of the group.
