I'd like to share this with Panther and Beastie. If Beastie ever gets back on line again I mean Yews bofe: Shane MacGowan - If I Should Fall From Gracewww.youtube.com/watch?v=h-saY704o4o&feature=relmfuIt's very sad at a few points. Especially when he's singing in the pub and all the other Irish drunks join in....including his old mum.

A lot of the documentaries that VH1 Classic airs are pretty good. Loved the one they did on Lemmy! Metal:A Headbanger's Journey is prerty good too.

This is to share with everyone in the world. Seven Ages of Rock A superb BBC series of 7 standalone films which when together in this ensemble collection give the finest and most all encompassing history of rock and roll I have ever been privileged to view. Sublime. If you have a UK IP you can legally download all of them for free from this site: www.bbc.co.uk/music/sevenages/A must see for any music fan. My kid was hooked on it.

I'll pop back in to the Seven Ages of Rock Posts when I get more of those, but while searching for them I happened across this one: Rage. 20 Years of Punk Rock.
This is very much NSFW
It's an Aus made one, so may well include bits of punk history you've been missing out on.
And Punk In London:

Really liked the Punk in London film. (One for Moley to watch , fall asleep and wake up during one of the German bits.)
I was too old to be a Punk, but got some sense of what it was about by being a roadie for a sunk without trace band called The Rage. (Don't google them. I've tried, and none of the bands with that name are the one I am talking about.) The drummer was John Towe, who was in Generation X. A solid guy and a solid drummer, who learned to play with the Boys' Brigade. The vocalist's guilty secret is that he was inside a Womble suit on Top of the Pops. The guitarist was a pretty boy, shit hot, who thought of the band as the "Bay City Rollers of Punk'. The bass player was their scapegoat. I think he ended up playing in disco band Hi Tension. They were support band on an Adverts tour - zig-zagging illogically across the UK. And,as all good Punk bands should, they self-destructed. Happy days

I've been immersesed in music docos since I started this thread. Made me all nostralgic it has. And btw: you're never too old to be a punk - it's punk as fuck to to be an old bloke with a mohawk. Just sayin'

Yeah those teeth are a fucking nightmare - If he hadn't been pissed witless since 1976 he'd be in agony. But he's a genius...and he seems like such a lovely hopeless drunk.

I saw him with the Nipple Erectors, later the Nips, and at a very early gig of the then Pogue Mahones - Andy Rankin on a snare drum, another Irish guy on guitar and Shane singing. Funny how both bands self-censored their names. He bought a book off my stall once : The Life & Death of St. Kilda.
