Das Fluff with a track that might even be used as a retort post on SZ > [video=youtube;kX1ECZOJI6Q]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX1ECZOJI6Q[/video]
 
...which leads me onto A Love Supreme by John Coltrane who obviously understands the bond between (wo)man and a football club on the Essex Riveria.


I like a bit of jazz, but...**** me, it's hard work.

My current night bus status won't support a listen but I hope The Slits are on here - their Peel Sessions were the best thing they ever did IMO. He used to have a show syndicated to a few regions inc BBC Essex and I used to phone him up and ask for plugs for gigs I was putting on. Absolute pleasure to have that opportunity as he was my hero.

"Do a runner, do a runner ..."
Sadly, that's not on here. Did see them supporting The Clash at The Lyceum on the 'Sort It Out' tour back in '78 and they were great. We had to play more than one track off one session as the main man pulled out late on but there's PiL, Buzzcocks, Penetration, the Feelgoods, T. Rex, Bowie, Slade, Lizzy, Billy Bragg, Dexy's, PJ Harvey, Extreme Noise Terror and of course, The Fall. They do a mad version of 'Hark The Herald Angels Sing' on this.

sweet selection. Being a tiny bit younger I didn't get to see The Slits until a couple of years before Ari died. Very different from 78 but still loads of energy.
 
When I was a kid a biker who lived near us used to drive past on a stupidly loud bike and wore a helmet with no visor which looked both stupid and menacing - we referred to him as Helmet Head. He was friends with Injun Joe who looked like the Tom Sawyer character of that name. His brother was Tony the Hippy who was a year older than me and I got to know him at 6th form. When I got dumped by a girl because her chest was so big I didn't know how to approach it I was clearly gutted and Tony the Hippy told me to get a lump of wood and beat the **** out of an inanimate object and I'd feel better. Back to school days and Helmet Head was riding past and my mate said 'shout Helmet Head really loud' so in the spur of the moment I shouted Helmet Head really loud and despite the volume of his bike he turned round and drove it at me and stopped about as close as you can without killing someone and asked me what I said. I stammered 'I dunno just a joke' and a little bit of wee came out. He growled and drove off.




A few years later I used to go to gigs and clubs in / around Southend and everywhere I went there was an older black guy who always had a carrier bag. We would create outlandish guesses about what was in the bag and it became a ritual. If any of my gang skipped a night first thing you'd ask was 'was carrier bag man there? What was in his bag'.


I was coming out of a club a bit drunk and a skinhead with a long black leather coat and the highest DMs was giving out leaflets for a gig by Sonic Violence that had a Hitler quote on it. I knocked them out of his hand and told him he was a racist **** and blah blah. He calmly told me his band made an extreme noise and so they use quotes from extreme people to get that across and handed me leaflets with Nietzsche, Catherine the Great, Lenin quotes on. I said the one I got was Hitler and that the skinhead was a dick.


I used to organise gigs and one of the guys at the PA company I used killed himself because of debts and he left a wife and child and his colleagues arranged a benefit gig for them. There were loads of bands playing and I went along to pay my respects. Carrier bag man was there and now was the time so I went over and said I see him pretty much everywhere and always he has the carrier bag and I had to know what was in it. A cagoule. I was a bit disappointed. I asked him who he was there to see and he said 'Sonic Violence' - whaaaaat the skinheads with the Hitler quote? And he said they are nice lads and they use extreme quotes to go with their extreme music - Catherine the Great and yeah yeah whatever. I used to talk to carrier bag man every time I saw him after that and he knew everything about every band. I once bumped into him at a free festival in Deptford and he advised I stick around to see a band called Orbital - imagine if I'd missed Orbital. He told me a quicker route to get home walking through Docklands and he knew the history of every building. He would come to every gig I put on and send me the photos in the post. Some of the poorest quality snaps I've ever seen. I saw him for the first time in about 20 years at a festival in Southend last year - was in the corner with a camera. My kids were knackered and wanted to go home, I said 'show some respect - this is carrier bag man'.


At the benefit gig a massive biker was walking past with 4 pints in his massive hands. He tipped on my mates foot but managed not to spill the drinks which he then put down on a table and came back and lifted my mate clean off the floor with one hand and shouted 'he went for me'. The other two mates I was with were body builders - I looked at them - nothing. I walked towards the biker and put my hand on his shoulder and he dropped my mate and floored me with one punch to the chest. A little bit of wee came out. Injun Joe who was a fiend of Helmet Head and brother of Tony the Hippy stepped in and calmed him down.


A few months later I went to see Silverfish play in New Cross. I was in a room once when their feisty Scottish singer walked in and said 'are yas laughin at ma frock ya bastids' - mock menacing though. They used to have a lot of stage divers and that night someone jumped off the balcony. People below were not pleased. Anyway the Sonic Violence skinhead was there and I was taking to him and I asked him why people call him Auntie and he said its because people come to him for advice so he got the nickname Anarchy Aunt which then got shortened to Auntie. He also said when he split from his last girlfriend she then became lesbian as he was so intense she could never be with another man. Wonder what Catherine the Great would think....

I kinda put it there by mistake. Someone asked me to write something and I was listening to Orbital at the time and I thought of the first time I saw them and then bleugh - I dropped it here! Then I got put in the same bracket as Foxy Noxy so all good!

Hmmm. An interesting connection but the only orbital I've heard of is the M25.

You are along the right lines - they get their name from the M25 as people used to drive around the M25 searching for illegal raves communicated via public phone boxes in order to stay ahead of the police.
