GREETINGS, did you miss your super duper zero hour while it was on a break? i didn't think so, bastards (only joking, honest).
Its been a quiet couple of weeks apart from the punx picnic which i couldn't go to, i also missed the Saturday 'picnic gig' as well but thought about the Sunday gigs that were on in north london but decided a night in the pub would be better than a night out at gig near-ish the picnic site, watching a featured bunch of 'crust core' grunters, don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with that grinding sound, i just didn't fancy it, although i would of liked to have gone to the first picnic nights gig on thursday featuring OI PALLOI and others, had i the chance, oh well.
Anyway, the SEX PISTOLS are back again to haunt us all with a hilarious front cover photo in the M.O.R bible 'MOJO' (plus more wrinkley PISTOLS photos inside), the PISTOLS are looking VERY old and worn out, and each member of the band has a couple of pages each for an interview. What a waste of time and space (plus the money).
But the PISTOLS strangley seem to fit right in with the rest of the M.O.R artistes in the 're-issue' section which features such bands and people as CAPTAIN BEEFHEART and NEIL DIAMOND to name just two, totally in place with the rest of the mag the PISTOLS are, and that alone is worth the laugh reading, although at £4.30 (or 60p) it is a bit pricey.
Every question asked seemed to be one that has been asked a million time before, and the answers given were, of course predictable as a result, apart from letting us know that it is doubtful that they will write any new material (suprise suprise), nothing new is learned about the band, if indeed there is anything new to ask or learn, and for a long time PISTOLS fan this is a waste of money.
The only good thing about the PISTOLS issue MOJO apart from the funny PISTOLS photos is the surprisingly good compilation CD, the CD has 15 tracks and features bands such as THE TV PERSONALITIES, ADVERTS, WIRE, ATV, JOHNNY MOPED, EATER, ANGELIC UPSTARTS and THE BOYS plus lots more.
The down side is the Cd's packaging, the 'catwoman' photo and the CD title 'destroy' are a bit dated and cheesy but it is worth getting if like me you have blown up your amp and only have a 'postcode blaster' (Ive never lived in a ghetto despite what our baggy jean ed hip hop yoot think of our cities, and the other old name for the big portable stereos isn't decent 'P.C' material so i will live with the term postcode blaster) to listen to music on, the CD is also good because my free DAILY STAR punk CD is wearing thin! a recommended 'steal' (i didn't mean it like that, oh no).
And finally, ol' SIDNEY V gets his own exhibition at the PROUD CAMDEN, the exhibit features unseen photos of SID while he was in 'noo yawk' waiting to die.....sorry, waiting to be tried for NANCIE'S murder, many photos were taken by one of the women close to SID in the weeks before his death.
Also featuring on the first night (tomorrow) is the SEX PISTOLS EXPERIENCE playing live (i saw them on the 25th anniversary PISTOLS boat trip, very good they are if you have had a few), also a film is to be premiered called 'who killed Nancy' (wonder what that's about?). The exhibition is at the 'proud Camden' at the horse hospital, the stables market Camden, and its from the 4th June till the12th Aug. 11am to 6pm mon to fri, And its free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S, there is a blog that is accompanies the exhibit and it is about...NANCY, you are invited to leave your comments about who you think committed the foul deed against NAUSEATING NANCY, or you could just leave a sarcastic comment instead, just type in 'SID exhibit' and you should find it easily -i did.
ta ra.
