Dad Dancing: Tony Wilson and Paul Morley on the Tube
Tony Wilson was always the archetypal embarrassing dad in a jumper. He was a media twat, but with pretty good taste in music and interesting ideas about how to run a record label. All that has been documented elsewhere, though. … Continue reading
Dad Dance: N-Joi Adrenalin on TOTP
This clip is properly embarrassing. Great early 90s hair: the bouncing bob. They used to be everywhere. How can you take yourself seriously, pretending to play a synth and wearing cast-offs from a Janet Jackson video? As we’ve seen before … Continue reading
Dad Dance: Total Confusion on Dance Energy, 1991
Web things like the Boiler Room are what have replaced Dance Energy now. That’s all a bit serious though. The clothes, the hair and above all the dancing were much more fun back in 1991. The key word is ‘energy’, … Continue reading
SNUB TV: Boys Own
We found this Youtube clip of Terry Farley and Audrey Weatherspoon (hair by Timotei) talking about setting up the Boy’s Own label, which grew out of their football-and-acid-house fanzine around 1990. Some of these tunes are seriously dated (Weatherall sure … Continue reading
Dad Dancing: The Orb on Top Of The Pops
The standard dance music TV appearance in 1992 involved pretending to play a keyboard in a bomber jacket while a lady in a bra threw arm shapes. The Orb took to mainstream pop music TV wearing white boiler suits, sitting … Continue reading
Snub TV – KLF
You really don’t get music TV shows like this any more – you know, where a non-ironic journalist asks intelligent questions of someone interesting. I guess the closest thing would be the occasional Culture Show music item. Here’s the KLF … Continue reading
Armando Iannucci – Home For Middle Aged Men
Long before Armando Iannucci did The Thick Of It, he had a very good sketch show on Channel 4 which almost nobody noticed. It was probably just too downbeat, clever and odd for most people. It’s all on Youtube though. … Continue reading
My Bloody Valentine – Soon (Weatherall Remix)
Last Friday’s Screamadelica-inspired 1991 nostalgiathon on BBC Four had me reaching for some old indie disco favourites. Mr Andrew Weatherall’s contributions to the doc were possibly my favourite bits. Back in 1990 when this was released, he was obviously on … Continue reading

Dad Dancing: Glasgow Diamonds
Amazing stuff. Those cheerleaders dancing in front of a dirty lockup…the open topped bus with Greggs in the background…the sax solo when there’s no sax playing. It’s pretty much exactly what you would expect from a Glaswegian American football team’s … Continue reading
Dad Dancing: The Monks – Monk Chant
We’re back in black! And what better way to announce our return than with The Monks making a monstrous racket live on German TV in 1966. I recently got a vinyl of the album Black Monk Timeon Amazon. The Monks … Continue reading
