Remembering Dave Allen from Gang Of Four and Shriekback

(December 23, 1955-April 5, 2025)

#Music, #DaveAllen, #GangOfFour, #Shriekback

My song of the day.

...possibly the week.

Pumping
Gushing
Running
Hiding
Pull tighter, pull tighter --
Wait one damn minute!

Fires inside,
Expressed in molotovs,
<<klick-klack>>
"No pictures!"
Make mine Kalashnikov!

from "Nerve" (more or less), by Shriekback
(If the boys wanted me to get the lyrics right, they should have worked on enunciation in the 80s.)

I'm listening to the 2014 release of "Jam Science".

The tapes were lost, so this is apparently remastered from a recording of an old vinyl that they found -- authentic vinyl noise available in all digital formats!

Nerve isn't actually on the "Jam Science" album, but it is on this collection.

(And I'm not replacing the lyrics that I've sung for thirty years, just because the internet says I'm wrong.)

Will be following with "Oil and Gold", "Big Night Music", and "Go Bang" -- regardless of potential complaints about "Go Bang" from the adjoining offices.

Last year, my fave group was doing a fundraiser for their newest album. I ordered hand written lyrics of "Filthy Heart". My kiddo helped me put together some other things to make it into a nice thing for our wall. It makes me happy to sit in the den and look at it. I love it!
