When I took a break from Gang of Four in 1981 I formed a band with Barry Andrews of XTC and a new friend of ours, Carl Marsh. We called it Shriekback. Wikipedia has the dirt on Shriekback here. Anyway, our pals over at !K7 Label Group have sent me a new compilation entitled Disco Not Disco upon which I find a Shriekback cut called My Spine Is The Bassline which just happens to be one of my favo...

The album Oil & Gold has long been a constant in my playlist, and today - it's been a good song to listen to, so - here's one for the weekend:From 1985 - i find this album to be my favourite of theirs, though there are definitely other good songs on other good albums. Maybe it's 'cause this is how i was introduced to the band... it's dark, it's moody, it's rocking, it's got some mellow moments ...
