Playlist 9 February
For those of you who notice such things, tonight's showÌýmarks five years of the AfterÌýMidnightÌýPunk Rock Experience.ÌýNothing has changed, it's still punk rock records from the golden age of punk rock records. Although five years ago I would never have imagined Howard Devoto from Magazine becoming Howard Devoto from Buzzcocks, but that's what's planned for May. In the meantime hear Howard with his Magazine chums Barry Adamson , John McGeoch and Dave Formula who may have been more muso than the Buzzcocks, but shouldn't be condemned for that. Sometimes, a swirling keyboard (not to be encouraged normally) is just what a record needs.
Also tonight, the first song from the first side of the first Clash LP - Janie Jones, one of the songs they recorded over three weekends in February of 1977. If they'd been in during the week as well, you never know what they could have achieved.
