She has become disillusioned with the poor standard of spelling and grammar on the forum and has boycotted it in protest.

Once a headmistress always a headmistress I suppose.

 

 

 

 

GB proto Punk c.1970
I think it's Jessie Hector's band before he formed the Hammersmith Gorillas.

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain (Mostly a guitar solo on steroids by Eddie Hazel. George Clinton told him to play as if his Mum had just died. This is the result)

Crushed Butler
British Proto-punk c.1970
Jessie Hector's later formed the Hammersmith Gorillas
The Gorillas (originally named The Hammersmith Gorillas) formed in 1972
the Hammersmith Gorillas were named after London's pro-Castro activist group the Hammersmith Guerillas

 

Yello - The Rhythm Divine ( with Shirley Bassey on vocals. From the 1987 album One Second - a masterpiece imho)

If your lifelong dream was to see a seven-foot clown competently singing 'Desperados Under the Eaves' then I have a surprise for you:

 

 

 

Great song. Takes me back…

Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra - Pinzoro ( This fair rocks along - listen for the line "Japanese Borrocks, in the dust!""

The wonderful Judith Durham. 

Roy Bud - Get Carter ( I take the train  to Newcastle a lot for work, and I will usually have this in my headphones as we leave London. I just love this film, and Newcastle)

 

 

Early proto-punk San Francisco band Flamin Groovies

 

So wonderfully odd

 

 

Great song about a classic motorcycle.
