From best punk album of all time to children’s playthings is the final indignity. I think I’m off to become an ex-New Romantic instead.

Wot, no little Glen to play with! It’s a (rock ‘n’ roll) swindle!
I think I’d put ‘The Clash’ ahead of ‘Never Mind The Bollocks’ in the best punk album list - Garageland, 48 hours, Janie Jones, London’s Burning, I’m so bored…, Deny, Career Opportunities. What a great record.

It’s pretty appropriate that Matlock isn’t there, i reckon, as Sid was the plastic punk and Matlock the bloke who wrote the tunes.
But it is a rock’n'roll swindle. Though if a Japanese reader bought some and sent them to me, I’d be ever so grateful ….

Here’s some good, old-fashioned punk rock that I found on youtube this evening.

Oh my god Jim that’s ace! And Nazi punks fuck off as well. Such a shame, what happened to the Dead Kennedys….
