Oh, The Mission Predicted It All

One of my fave old (true) Goth bands The Mission wrote a fantastic, vicious, hateful song Mercenary. It's full of invective, spitting anger and lots and lots of 'F' words (ooh!) It was written in 1990 - when I left the UK after Thatcher screwed the country and sent it to its knees.

After today's Spending Review in the UK this is the song I've been playing all evening. Indulge me and view it below if you fancy joining me in a rant. No proper vid I'm afraid but it helpfully provides the marvellous lyrics to sing along to. It so helps when chopping the veg...

Placebo's 'Pure Morning':

Fox and Goldfrapp

No horror. No apologies. The tales are stirring - fizzing even - in my head.

But in the meantime I'm having a nostalgic afternoon and reminiscing about the amazing Noosha Fox's 'Only You Can' from 1975. It was one of the first singles I bought (as a young child of course). I loved her eccentricity and 30s glamour and clothing. Completely adore gorgeously talented Alison Goldfrapp these days, who is surely influenced by Noosha?
