Some days you get depressed about the state of pop music, other days you discover things like this and all is right with the world.

Some vintage Kate Bush and The Bushwackers for you. Spot the famous faces in the audience around the 2:35 mark.

I’ve had a miserable bloody week at work and watching this has really cheered me up, it’s easy to mock but there should always be a place in pop music for this kind of innocent pleasure. I don’t remember finding The Nolans particularly attractive back then (though I did have a minor thing for Colleen at one point) as they seemed too wholesome and family-entertainment but now they all look, dare I say it…quite sexy.

What on earth is Georgie wearing?

This little blogging hiatus I’m on at the moment was supposed to be so I could get some personal shit done but I’ve been so swamped at work I haven’t had any time to get to what I wanted to get to the past couple of weeks which is very frustrating.

So if you’re as cream-crackered and stressed as I am at the moment you might need a little something to perk you up. You’d have to be dead not to get a jolt from this.

What a lovely record this was. Watching this it’s hard to believe that kid singing would go on to put out a brilliant solo single on Factory Records (made with members of A Certain Ratio and New Order) and then, sadly, die at the age of 38.
