Top Of The Pops 1978 Triple

Posted By Mark on Feb 3, 2013

1978. The year after the Queen’s silver jubilee. And that’s about it. Three whole channels of televisual entertainment could be everyone’s for the low, low price of the licence fee, such entertainment to include, of course, Top of the Pops. Excluding all the bits featuring convicted-by-public-opinion paedophiles and sexual predators, it’s still wonderful to go back and look at some of the performances now. Here, have an audio/video threesome! Jilted John – Jilted John Renaissance – Northern Lights Dollar – Shooting...

Outer Space Triple

Posted By Mark on Jan 19, 2013

I’ve been watching a lot of science fiction television and films recently. I’ve also been watching quite a few space-oriented documentaries (astronomy programmes, solar system programmes, that sort of thing) too. So when I thought about updating the site with a trio of music videos the theme to tie in the choices was pretty obvious. Sarah Brightman And Hot Gossip – I Lost My Heart To A Starship Trooper Incidentally, Sarah Brightman has genuine plans to venture into space in the near future. Monster Magnet – Space Lord Underworld – Between...

Electropop Triple

I’ve been lounging about on the new Myspace (here I am!) and discovering some new music, which is pretty much the point of the service. Not quite sure that the social aspect of Myspace quite works yet but it’s still in beta so things could improve. Anyway, here, have a few videos of artists I’ve recently discovered, all of whom roughly fall inside the techno electropop industrial gothy sort of genre. That’s a very valid genre. Ayria – My Device Aural Vampire – Cannibal Coast Angelspit – Toxic Girl (Uncensored –...

Die Antwoord Triple

Posted By Mark on Dec 5, 2012

Last week we popped up to London and watched Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie perform at the O2 arena. It was a good gig from Mr Manson. It was a stunningly, incredibly, wonderfully awesome gig from Mr Zombie (I’m saying that I liked it). Since I quite regularly post three related music videos on this site in an attempt to convince the world (okay, Google) that I haven’t given up on the whole maintaining my own site lark you might be forgiven for thinking this would lead me to an easy Manson or Zombie video selection. However, I’m not going to do that. Prior to the gig there was a short rock DJ set. We got to listen to Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, and numerous other tracks in keeping with the feel of the night to come. But in amongst those songs was something I’d never heard before; something I’d not heard, yet liked. I listened out for some words, noted them down in OneNote on the phone and then… forgot about it for a few days. Eventually, however, I did remember and did a bit of searching. The result was a South African group called Die Antwoord. The music style is called Zef. The song I’d been attracted to was called Fatty Boom Boom. The videos are deliciously fabulous. I bought the latest album, naturally. Fatty Boom Boom Enter The Ninja I Fink U...
