Ah yes, Spear of Destiny keeps Handel from the top. How about that ladies and gentlemen. I always listen to Messiah on Christmas day in the morning but it's so darn long I don't think I've ever heard the whole thing.
But, to the Spear. What a trip it was to listen to them again. I liked them a lot in the mid 80s. Post punk was the label given to them. Kirk Brandon certainly was an angry man and rather politicised too, just the sort of thing a boy in his teens should be listening to really whilst guzzling six packs of Lamot lager, Diamond White, Rossco's homebrew and the odd quarter bottle.
World Service (1985) and One-Eyed Jacks (1984) rock, and Outland (1987) takes me back to my army days big time.
Dave, if you're reading this and didn't do the Spear, check these tracks out. I reckon you'll dig them.
Аквариум (Aquarium in Russian) will be an artist of the week for certain at some point. They are very, very good.
Happy New Year fellow last.fmers.
