Never mad hot on MSP but saw them at the Tivoli and Whelans (which was excellent). They were friendly and pleasant, especially Richey, afterwards in Whelans.

Nearly 30 years ago…

While I am here, something obscure but wonderful:

Dub be good to me

The opening lyrics (you’re listening to the sounds of the big bad city) was taken from below

Of course the beat was sampled from The Clash - Guns of Brixton

And all put together by a Young Fatboy Slim

Midnight in a Perfect World samples the brilliant David Axelrod.

Indeed it does. I have a number of fine David Axelrod albums. ( the number is 2)

I have one.

MIA - Paper Planes

Samples the anti-anti-immigration Straight to Hell by the Clash with a focus on an immigrant who revels in the stereotypical view of an immigrant.

In these roads
Out of love, so it goes
How it feels when we fall, when we fold
How we lose control, on these roads
How it sings as it goes
Flight of field, driving snow
Knows the cold
