I've always loved this song and I've always loved this video, but what I have always loved the most is the fact that the legendary Kid Congo Powers from The Gun Club and The Cramps is completely, randomly, inexplicably dancing around with the band like your drunken dad at a wedding.

@pablozewoppa 6 лет назад

Clair Duffy Saw him at the last gig at the Hammersmith Palais, 2007. I managed to lean over and shake his hand. Very unusual for MES to be pressing the flesh with the audience? The encore, if you can call it that, was hilarious: MES and a couple of band members saunter back onto the stage. MES growls something into the mic along lines of 'Thanks for allowing us into your security area, we're going back to civilization'. MES leaves the building. Brilliant. A total one-off.

@clairduffy60 6 лет назад

pablozewoppa Well let's 'Hit the North' for old times sake. He shook your hand? Lucky you! He was in a wheelchair for some of that Glasgow gig, but got up a few times to twiddle with the knobs.... He will be so missed. God love the old nutter ...

Brix added a spark and glamour for Perverted By Language and This Nation's Saving Grace but the late eighties (1987-1989) was not so good - commercial Fall period - which only improved with Extricate in 90.
