1980 was one of the best years ever for music - even far beyond punk.
interested to hear what it was like for very young kids to hear all these songs at the time.
the downside is nearly all the old songs played on the year ---- shows were songs I've probably heard for over 20 years.

Getting Nowhere Fast by GIRLS AT OUR BEST was a great choice, brilliant sarcastic lyrics sung in a very un rock n roll voice by a smart woman who won't follow conventional female roles (and a great tune).

TEAM DRESCH were featured on a programme. my main memory of them is of a MRR zine 'sex issue' posing stock question for punks to answer. one was -
''Have you ever participated in a queer bashing incident ?''

Donna Dresch: ''The other day I hit myself in the face with a yo-yo.''

Cheers - another good show. That was actually more diverse than the previous one which surprised me.
never heard the last two songs before.
the stories about how you both heard this music were very interesting, especially as you were so young.

about 79/80 in particular you could see several things on TOTP many weeks that were worth buying.

musically I think this was the best era to grow up in - the whole independent / DIY idea was new, genres weren't codified and a hegemony of a few big labels hadn't happened yet - everything was up for grabs.

the story on the 1982 show about winning a tape from a Dublin radio show with
Let Them Eat Jelly Beans / Flex Your Head / This Boston Not LA on it was mind blowing !

The Tube also came up:
I've seen footage of BLITZ, MEMBRANES, FOUR JOHNS (not to mention FALL, VENOM, GRAND MASTER FLASH &TFS!) bizarre to think all this got on teatime TV.
actually the BLITZ footage is a hilarious. the interviewer who looks unintentionally like Timmy Mallet, is very confrontational and obviously hates them. BLITZ are really taken aback and very polite about it.

THE BIRTHDAY PARTY TV footage mentioned in the 1981 show was filmed by some other Channel 4
programme.

CRASS, BLITZ, DISCHARGE, GBH, 4 SKINS etc all had top 40 albums in 1981/82.

by the early 90's when I was a teen, punk music of any sort got VERY little coverage in the media

all in all a great time to start listening to a lot of great music that was completely new and never this popular or accessible again. it's bizarre to think this ever happened at all if you weren't there.
plus very few of the genres of punk that I dislike existed at this stage.

Thanks for listening - yeah the Tube was great. We used to hope my Dad wouldn't be home from work before 7 as he would automatically switch on the News as we wondered who we were missing. Three Johns were brilliant on it. brought a load of people from 1in12 club in Bradford. The UK music press in the 80's (Sounds, NME and Melody Maker) gave punk some good coverage.
We are enjoying doing the shows because this way you are seeing scenes develop even though we knew they had it's nice to have some sort of chronology to it. We could pick 10 different songs every week though

Cheers another enjoyable show

RAW POWER toured the USA in 1984 w/ RIISTETYT from Finland which made them the first European HC band to tour the USA (organized by Chris from BCT Tapes) BGK from Amsterdam also toured the USA that summer.
when in Indiana in 1984 RAW POWER recoded their Screams From The Gutter LP w/ Paul Mahern from the ZERO BOYS. that LP has now sold over 40,000 copies and I'd say it's the biggest selling European HC LP from the 80's. (the Italian equivalent of Suicidal's massive selling first LP I suppose).
In the 80's and 90's RAW POWER were regulars in the states touring there 6 times.
for my money Italy had the best HC scene circa 1981-86 there was at least 25 amazing bands released really great records.
RAW POWER are still going but sadly the singer Mauro's brother, guitarist Giuseppe died in 2002 after he had a heart attack playing in football kick about

as usual some of the podcast songs are slightly in the wrong year but I've grown to like that.

I used to like SONIC YOUTH when I was at school in the 90's. I heard Goo first but initially wasn't bothered with them. but I saw the video for Death Valley 69 on MTV and that got me into them.... for about a year anyway.

Damien Lovelock (1954-2019) from the CELIBATE RIFLES was actually a soccer pundit broadcasting in Sydney.

I actually like the SPECIAL AKA more than previous incarnation. 'Nelson Mandela' was first time many people heard of him. great tune I posted it on thumped a while back.
there was so many pop songs that referenced Mandela in the years after that but this was the first.

MRR really joined up the world punk scene. something they started to do in the first 5 issues.
PEACE/WAR and Welcome To 1984 are full of great tunes from worldwide.
I think they were slightly beaten to the punch as the first international HC comp by this comp also from 1984.

SUICIDAL's first album is great example of record appealing to far more people than anyone could ever have imagined. the bands Latino gang image, skateboarding cred (Dogtown / Jim Muir), coming out at same time as first thrash LP's SLAYER /METALLICA meant the record probably sold 50 times what anyone expected.
must the best selling HC LP.

Spot was incredibly important to SST records. every record I have that he worked on sound huge.
HUSKER really suffered production wise after they stopped working with him - although he stopped doing
production work shortly after that anyway to be fair.

IMO the biggest difference between the 80's is the lack of identity politics and diversity.
it's probably the only big criticism I can level at the era.
I was listening to the Ungovernable Force LP by CONFLICT a few years ago and although I couldn't find much
much fault in their ideas but there was a lot they left out.
racism was only mentioned in the context of the police, despite the woman singer there was nothing about women's issues, gay rights and many other big contemporary topics.
singing from a male white working class view was par the course and that's OK. but there was a lot missing in retrospect but even when I first heard these records in the 90's none of this would have occured to me .

''CHAOS UK were awful..."
haha ! I love DISORDER and CHAOS UK they both continued to make great records throughout the 80's and even beyond when the other '81/82 bands had quit or had become irrelevant. GBH and EXPLOITED who were chosen in an earlier show to represent the UK82 genre were a bit of musical dead end - the bands they influenced never developed into something new of it's own.
the two Bristol bands had a big influence on a lot of even more distorted, faster bands in places like Japan, Sweden, Sao Paulo etc. these bands a big part in the development punk end of grindcore and noise grind stuff.
hate 'em or hate them some more, but they were important it's not much acknowledged outside certain circles and they don't get the credit DISCHARGE do.
CHAOS UK's later stuff is more punk and they did an LP of old punk covers in the 90's that was cool.
they even did a good job on Pump It Up.

OK see ya next week.

Some great ones there.

1st Raw Power lp, insane. Most people seem to go for the second,but for me it's the first,easily. Literally raw power.

Celibate Rifles I got into way late,but a great band,Radio Birdman influence is pretty clear on the early records.

Love early MDC and Partisans

Suicidal Tendencies definitely peaked with that first record. I liked Join the Army at the time,but I thought the gig they played in belfast was really boring.

Conflict to me sound like the angriest band ever. One of the first punk bands I got into and I still love them to this day.

And I'm a big Chaos Uk fan,just becasue they got a mention.

I can't think of any record recorded by Spot that would not sound better had someone else done it.

yeah, I agree the first RAW POWER LP is the best. for a long time You Are The Victim was out of print so maybe pre internet people weren't familiar with it ??

as far as Spot goes I've already had my say.

@nuke terrorist and @GARYXKNIFEDX thanks for that. I'm a flake I've never heard that Beating The Meat comp. You've a point about Chaos Uk and Disorder, made a great case for their inclusion. hard when two people are picking 5 songs apiece from each year.
Interesting observation around identity politics - was that at a more societal level too??
Sometimes we sneak songs in if a compilation was released that year (and sometimes we are just wrong :)
