1962
- From that first night I lay awake in my dark room, turning that big round dial on my little plastic clock-radio, scanning the AM airwaves looking for that special song, something new, something hot, something wild, something different, I knew even then I was addicted to music.
- It was 1962 there was no FM, no alternative, no Beatles, no Stones, no Jimi, no Reggae, no Bowie, no PUNK, no MTV, no World, no Techno, no Trance, but somehow I knew it would all come, it would have to. Even at 12 years old, I knew there had to be more to life, more than just Frankie and Annette.
- Well it HAS. It has come and it has gone. Sometimes it went too fast and sometimes it just kept coming back again and again. Over the years we have seen all types of Music and styles, we've seen too many Stars and Superstars, but not enough Heroes, we've had Mods and Rockers, Rock Gods and Anti-heros, One Hit Wonders and 4 decade old Rock Bands (not even I expected that). Let's take a little trip down Memory Lane and checkout some of my favorite Music of the past four decades, now through the miracle of digital technology, forget your MTV,

Naked - Kissing the Pink
This little known, 1980 album is one of the most amazing and overlooked debuts of all time. KTP bridges the gap between punk, post-punk and electronica. It's rich textures, harmonies and melodies, and their overall innovative approach to music laid the groundwork and inspiration for dozens of the most influential bands of the 80's, 90's and beyond.
GOD - Rip, Rig And Panic-
This unusual 4 sided album set is an eclectic mix of early post-punk and industrial strength noise, with a healthy dose of funk. Way ahead of its time Rip, Rig & Panic features Ari Up and Neneh Cherry on vocals. If you haven't heard it before, this may be your only chance.
100 Punks Rule vol 1- the UK 1977
Over 25 of the songs that sound as good today as they did 25 (Holy Shit !) years ago when they Shocked the Modern World. The Pistols, the Clash, X-ray Specs, the Damned and many more will show you why the World is a better place today because they dared to do it their WAY! Play it LOUD!
