Santa was good enough to get me the latest and very splendid Divine Comedy (Victory for the Comic Muse) for chrimbletide, which features a track called Party Fears Two, which in turn features one of the absolutely most wonderful riffs pop music has given us. For all you thirty-somethings out there, here, courtesy of YouTube, some 1982 TV programme I don’t know the name of, and the late Billy MacKenzie, is the original version from The Associates, featuring some pretty incredible vocals (for the record, I’m pretty sure the lipsynching is better than this edit lets on). Not sure about the uniform, though…

Love the Associates to bits. Can’t stop playing them at a volume giving off enough decibells to trigger an earthquake. I have been in love witrh Martha Ladley since I saw her playing echo beach aged nine. I write about them, especially Billy. what a great loss to the world. Can’t wait to hug you in heaven Billy. Cool
