Is anyone going? I'm sorely tempted. £19.50 to see him and Frank Sidebottom. I've not seen the papier maché-headed fella for donkey's years. Not sure if I wanna see him, but JCC is a legend.

Readers Wives
Make a date with the brassy brides of Britain The altogether ruder readers' wives Who put down their needles and their knitting At the doorway to our dismal daily lives The fablon top scenarios of passion Nipples peep through holes in leatherette They seem to be saying in their fashion 'I'm freezing Charlie - haven't ya finished yet?' Cold flesh the colour of potatoes In an Instamatic living room of sin All the required apparatus Too bad they couldn't fit her head in In latex pyjamas with bananas going ape Their identities are cunningly disguised By a six-inch strip of insulation tape Strategically stuck across their eyes Wives from Inverness to inner London Prettiness and pimples co-exist Pictorially wife-swapping with someone Who's happily married to his wrist :) |

Kung Fu International
Outside the take-away, Saturday night a bald adolescent, asks me out for a fight He was no bigger than a two-penny fart he was a deft exponent of the martial art He gave me three warnings: Trod on me toes, stuck his fingers in my eyes and kicked me in the nose A rabbit punch made me eyes explode My head went dead, I fell in the road I pleaded for mercy I wriggled on the ground he kicked me in the balls and said something profound Gave my face the millimetre tread Stole me chop suey and left me for dead Through rivers of blood and splintered bones I crawled half a mile to the public telephone pulled the corpse out the call box, held back the bile and with a broken index finger, I proceeded to dial I couldnt get an ambulance the phone was screwed The receiver fell in half it had been kung fud A black belt karate cop opened up the door demanding information about the stiff on the floor he looked like an extra from Yang Shang Po he said |

A great one
** Like a Night Club in the morning, youre the bitter end. Like a recently disinfected **-house, youre clean round the bend. You give me the horrors too bad to be true All of my tomorrows are lousy coz of you. You put the Shat in Shatter Put the Pain in Spain Your germs are splattered about Your face is just a stain Youre certainly no raver, commonly known as a drag. Do us all a favour, here... wear this polythene bag. Youre like a dose of scabies, Ive got you under my skin. You make life a fairy tale... Grimm! People mention murder, the moment you arrive. Id consider killing you if I thought you were alive. Youve got this slippery quality, it makes me think of phlegm, and a dual personality I hate both of them. Your bad breath, vamps disease, destruction, and decay. Please, please, please, please, take yourself away. Like a death a birthday party, you ruin all the fun. Like a sucked and spat our smartie, youre no use to anyone. Like the shadow of the guillotine on a dead consumptives face. Speaking as an outsider, what do you think of the human race You went to a progressive psychiatrist. He recommended suicide... before scratching your bad name off his list, and pointing the way outside. You hear laughter breaking through, it makes you want to fart. Youre heading for a breakdown, better pull yourself apart. Your dirty name gets passed about when something goes amiss. Your attitudes are platitudes, just make me wanna**. What kind of creature bore you Was is some kind of bat They cant find a good word for you, but I can... **. |

Great live, especially in Manchester, the first time i saw him was on OGWT ,whispering Bob days, and he did Beasley Street, i was hooked .

Tex - I'm a northerner (originally from Wigan, but I grew up in Manchester), so maybe I "get" him better than most. But I saw him in London last year and the place was bouncing.

By:
we were going to see him and frank last week in york but he called it off due to illness! A right sickener
anyone seen John Otway , always a top show |
|
By:
RLKP - I know a couple of lads (both northerners) who want to see JCC, but they're both unavailable tomorrow. However, the longer the night has gone on, the more I want to go and see him tomorrow.

In Aberdeen we appreciate him, it's what he says, with a bit of how he says it. Can you answer my previous query ? |

By:
M & P, seen him support Be Bop Deluxe years ago, my fav was " I married a Monster from Outer Space".

Goth - I've just had a look on Google and the line you mention is on here - credited to "Attila the Stockbroker":

By:
RLKP - when I saw him, he was supporting The Fall and The Buzzcocks.
I knew a bit about JCC and I liked what I'd heard, but he was brilliant. The Fall was a nightmare cos Mark E Smith (not for the first time) was fúcked. The Buzzcocks were good. But JCC was the highlight of the show. |
|
By:
Cheers, f##cked up memory.
Attila was a southern (poor mans) version of JCC iirc. Might be wrong though, hazy recollections. Ta. |

M & P, i fancy Wakey later today +2, Quins on paper are gash and Luke Dorn is out,Wakey are no world beaters but +2 is good value, i reckon Quins need the start.Im on .
|

By:
Cheers, RLKP. I'll have a small bet on that.
I go to Harlequins a couple of times a year (usually when Wigan or Warrington are there), but I'm going to a non-league footie game tomorrow. I'll definitely be there sometime in June or July. |

If youre ever up in Leeds let me know, small music venue called the Brudenall has stuff like JCC on.You seen Otway ?
|
|
By:
I've not seen Otway, but having seen your other music posts I rate your tastes, if you know what I mean.
I will give you a shout if I'm near Leeds. I lived there from 1997-2000 and 2001-02, and two of my best mates live there. My mum's in Manchester, so the next time I go up north I might take a diversion and go via the wrong side of the Pennines ;) |
