O’er grassy dale, and lowland scene
Come see, come hear, the English Scheme! [...]

Peter Cook’s jokes, bad dope, check shirts, lousy groups
Point their fingers at America
Down pokey quaint streets in Cambridge
Cycles our distant spastic heritage
Its a gay red, roundhead, army career, grim head
If we was smart we’d emigrate…

A glass of lager in his hand
Silver microphone in his hand
Wasting time in numbers and rhyme
One hundred blank faces buy
Bingo-Master’s Breakout!

As such, I have reached out and asked dear friend and fellow Fall enthusiast Frances Stark to guest curate.

If any of the aforementioned 2/3 visitors to this blog happen to find themselves in the Southern California area this Sunday, I would implore them to them to head to the Mandrake Bar to hear Frances’s presentation, entitled, “The Sycophancy of the Contemporary Artist and the Impossibility of Reaching Out to Mark E. Smith.” Visit Oslo Editions for more information.

Now, without further ado, Frances’s first selection. Watch the whole clip, but please bear in mind her selection concerns the segment between ~ 6:38 and 7:37.

My singing’s getting very good, actually. I don’t want to boast. I’m getting really good at singing, actually. After twenty fucking …*

What really went on there?
we only have this excerpt:

There’s a party going on down around here
Cruiser’s Creek yeah
Watch the shirt-tails flapping in the wind
Sidewalk running
See the people holding from the back
Hat-boaters tilting…

Promotional video for Cruiser’s Creek directed by Cerith Wyn Evans, featuring Leigh Bowery dressed, according to MES (quoted in TBLY no 3, February 1995) “like a clerk on acide, like he was from some alternative world.” [source]
