Sad news for all us old punks, regarding the passing of one of the true greats.
Poly Styrene loss her battle with breast cancer.
For those that remember, she was a one off, the sound of a generation.
I will forever be sing the song "I am a Poser".   |

Charlie Harper is young enough to be Jet Black from the Stranglers grandson !!! Jet Black is going fo the oldest drummer alive record !!
It is a pity the BBC cant dig out some old X-Ray-Spex material from the archive and let us all go down memory lane together. |

"6Music did. Can't see any of the other 'let's play the latest X-factor shite' stations following suit though.."
I think you'll find that when the news broke on 25 April, quite a lot of radio stations dug out X-Ray Spex records - I heard her played on at least 3 shows on Radio 2 that day, for example. She was also aired on a number of national commercial stations.
Of course they are not going to play her now - news that's 10 days old isn't news. |

It wasn't news when I put it on here, and I knew that. I was thinking about her and X RAY SPEX, songs, running through my head. Though that I'd share my thoughts a little. Next week I may be thinking about Lux Interior, Promise no more old news posts. |

"If you're talking old, just take a look at John Cooper Clarke. He make Keith Richards look like a teenager!
But still as good as ever"
Seen him in Glasgow a few months back. Great night, as good as ever. |
