Again, they cut out the best part. Judge Judy asked the drummer to show her where on his body he was [allegedly] assaulted. He points to his head to show the judge and Mr. Lydon said, "where his brains should be." I LAWLD out of my chair.

PiL rocks! Their new studio record is out, first one in 20 years! Woot!

The sad part is that this vid is likely a dupe and my comment will be lost in the ether...

On two prior sifts, I've posted my Tony James story so I won't do it again. But I too was a big fan of SSS and Gen X and Billy Idol and Sex Pistols and The Clash and PiL and B.A.D.
Carbon/Silicone? ...eh, not so much: the music doesn't really grab me...but never mind.

Italian music producer and composer Giorgio Moroder, who stole the Oscar away from John Williams in 1979 for the score to Midnight Express, produced SSS's debut record Flaunt It in 1986 and it's one of the best-sounding bad records of all time. He also won two more Oscars: one for the title song to Flashdance and once again a couple years later for the song Take My Breath Away from the homo-erotic movie Top Gun.

Moroder, who was a synthesizer pioneer in the 70s, was the man responsible for the SSS sound, although Tony James would surely disagree.

Matthew Good band .. This song.. IS FUCKING WICKED. This song, this album this music, is from my teen years 16 and up, when I learned of him, its a part of my history and I want to share its magic with you all. Those that are adventurous enough to click and listen.

Well, I'm not sure how adventurous you'd need to be to listen to emo power pop...adventurous is the wrong word. How about tenacious? Yes, tenacious is a better word, although I can empathize with you regarding the identification with particular music as a teen, like we all can.

When I was 16, I discovered Sex Pistols and Public Image Limited: now THERE'S a band that required some adventure. PiL, I mean. Sex Pistols, not as much. Fuck it, I'll toss you a vote.

...character is lost and found
on unfamiliar playing ground.

Sorry, my PiL fanboi sometimes cannot be restrained.

When you run around without precautions,
you'll get diseases, need abortions.
Up till now, no vaccination
to give you back your reputation.

And 'cranial abattoir' (from FFF on Compact Disc) is enough on it's own to warrant a sift. If I couldn't use Ween's boognish as my avatar, I'd use PiL's pill symbol for sure.

Sorry I was late.

No one's a bigger PiL fan than me. This should've been my sift! Grr! Public Image was the pop culmination of all the amazing bass-contrasts-with-guitar work done on First Issue. And if you haven't ever heard Second Edition, pick it up, because it's even better: Poptones is downright hypnotic.

John, where are you when we need you?

Nope
