Plan B #72 Friday September 10th (Yup I thought we started in 2004 when it was actually 2005!)

Strange Plan B for JT this time out with me being first to arrive and first to leave. I even got to put up the sign and witness the lone drunks who sway on to an empty dance floor in a 'comedy' fashion that remains only funny to their drunken selves. No nutzoid requests from what I remember and armed with a Sharpie I scrawled down set one on two beer mats then tapped set 2 into the BlackBerry. Here's set one for you in my own hand-


Debuts in the early set from Bush Tetras, Go Go's, Lorainne Chandler & The Fall; along with the classic paring of Stiff Little Fingers & Wings- you don't get that on Radio 2!

On to set two in the early hours of the next day and I genuinely thought some bastard had stolen my Sharpie (I found it later in my pocket!) so I committed this set to my BlackBerry! I was pleased as punch with this set (mainly 'cos I sneaked in the Bush Tetras again!) but opening with my current faves, The Fall, set me off nicely and the floor was ramalamajammed throughout! Click the links for the good stuff!

The Fall- Theme from Sparta F.C.
The Clash- Rock the casbah
Salt N Pepa- Push it
Devo- Whip it
Talking Heads- Psycho killer
The Temptations- I can't get next to you
Rick James- Superfreak
Sugarhill Gang- Rappers delight
The Cure- Love cats
Motorhead- The ace of spades
Elvis Presley- What'd I say
Chuck Berry- Johnny B. Goode

Den Iniquity Entertains Our Nation!

So I bring you more, more, more (how do you like it?) this week from the idea box of one Den I. Just read a great book about Odeon cinema's which has made me even more intent on building that time machine. Anyways, time machine time now with Wings(!), Lipstick on your collar and Truly Smith. Take it away, I wanna hear you play 'til the lights go down (?!)


Forever bringing to mind those spit-roastin', over-paid, under-performing, badge-kissing, six-figure per week 'sportsmen' this tune has been a perennial fave at Chez Den, first cropping up on 'The Girls Scene' CD in 2000 and later snagged in a Chez Chazza for 50p. In addition to the oddly named Truly we have a couple of other Motown covers one of which being Den's fave 'I want to go back there again'. I dig this gal's shit but her moves really do need checking at the door. Also, is it me but at the start of the 'I want to back' vid it looks like her name is 'Ruly Smith' at the back of the stage...And one final thing great name and two haircuts for the price of one...!





It really does not get any better than this combo of Dennis Potter/ Louise Germaine & The Platters. Just out of shot is Sylvia's copacetic usherette uniform...




Nice late-period Macca/ Wings with a riff that Franz Ferdinand would nick and a T-shirt that Den would also steel. Name checking the soon to be vacationing spot of Scarborough, NY Macca does the business in unlikely circs...However, never good to hear a fake crowd or the sight of Linda Mc rocking out!
