Music for a bad mood
Always a good song for a bad mood I find. No pretending that I am a youthful Jello though - Bloody well jarred my knee again

Governor Moonbeam is back...
Who'd have thought that the first line of this old classic would be topical again

Best concert ever
I wish I could remember exactly when it was... I think it was late in 1982 when the Dead Kennedys played Southampton University. Perhaps I should get in touch with my old mate Smith who would certainly have recorded the date in his diary.. Anyway, whatever the date it was always the concert that has stuck in my mind.
Second support was MDC a Texan punk with particularly strident views on the police coprorations, homophobia and John Wayne. Here is a charming little ditty called Corporate Deathburger.
Main support was a popular beat combo from Sussex called Peter and the Test Tube Babies. Let us say that they were rather less political than MDC or the Dead Kennedys as evidenced by the title of their first album Pissed and Proud. In keeping with this theme here is Banned From the Pubs
And so on to the main act. Absolutely brilliant.. or at least my memory tells me that it was a brilliant concert
