Little Girls should be seen and not heard. X-Ray Spex with Oh Bondage Up Yours [MP3, 2.6MB]. More Punk audio at punkrockers. Formed in 1976, X-Ray Spex was the first punk band to use a saxophone and it's aggressive shrill dominated their sound. Their look was pure kitch - lots of plastic and lurex in bright colors. They started by playing pub gigs in the King's Road and were featured in a 'youth' programme on weekend TV. Their second gig was at the Roxy and it was recorded for the Live at the Roxy album. First single was classic Oh Bondage, Up Yours! 4:54:13 PM     |

Happy Bloggers. When bloggers meet in London, they naturally meet at Belgo Central for nice Belgian food and beer. Like last night, when Plep, Mr Bali Hai (who travelled all the way from the US to join in), Konstantin, Annie Mole (who brought her book) and yours truly got together to discuss new blogging strategies. Not. We met just to have some fun. Which we had. 10:05:14 AM     |
