YouTube Music Videos: Major Key REM

[Anthony Williams]

The best one is actually Gilmour's solo on 'Time'.

oi Tudor! Wanna fight?

[Pip Madeley]

Don't fight guys. Pink Floyd aren't worthy.

[Paul Monk]

One for Pip. I've never heard this Pulp before. Probably because the film its from was rubbish.

Ah, 'Like A Friend'. One of my favourites from the Hardcore era, it was originally a b-side to 'A Little Soul'. There's two versions, the one you linked to is the film version, which has a long instrumental bit half way through, and the long slow bit just before the final "rock out". The other version, the album version, is MUCH better - it removes the long slow bit, which drags things down a little bit in my opinion. Oddly, the video for 'Like A Friend' wasn't included on the Hits DVD, but outtakes were.

Nice choice Paul, here's one in return:

Good live video of a song that could've been a great single.
Pulp made some really bad choices when it came to singles.

[Dave Tudor]

Ant, I say that we put aside our differences and show Madeley the error of his ways.

Anyway, here's a 1994 live version of 'Time' - not quite as good as the original studio version, but still amazing (and I was there - well, more or less!):

And, a year after the death of Syd Barrett, here's a (very strange!) video of one of his greatest compositions, 'Arnold Layne', the Floyd's first single:

Ah that's why I hadn't heard it before. I think I gave up buying singles around that time.

I agree apart from the His N Hers era when the singles were good but no one bought them. Pulp B -sides have always been great though and I really must make a compilation of them someday.
And I love The Night That Minnie Timperley Died!

BIG HAIR!

All together now.... "I am a spy, working for the FBI, the CIA...anyone who wants to pay...."

I've been indulging in some music video nostalgia.
I've found a couple of things i've not seen since i was 14/15!

'2468 Motorway', & 'Sing if You're Glad to be Gay'. Tom Robinson Band.

I'm sure 'Glad To Be Gay' fades out before the last verse or two, but it's still a great song. I'm partly surprised they let it go out on mainstream tv. It wouldn't be an issue nowadays, but it was quite controversial in 1977.

'Tank' & 'Curfew'. The Stranglers.

This is from a short lived pop show from 1978 called 'Revolver', which focussed on Punk/New Wave, & was introduced by Peter Cook. I never thought i'd see this again!

'Denis'. Blondie.

Oh my! From TOTP 1978. Debbie Harry just wearing a shirt. Boy do i remember this!

'Denis'. Blondie.

Oh my! From TOTP 1978. Debbie Harry just wearing a shirt. Boy do i remember this!

I remember it too! I love how the caption says "Denis - Denee"

I've heard that if there was a group playing on there that Cook really disliked, he'd deliberately try to distract their attention by holding up porn magazines in front of them.

I don't remember that specifically, but i wouldn't put it past him.

I'll say nothing about this one... apart from to expect to see this song in Eurovision this year.

[SiHart]

The new Goldfrapp Video is a bit good!

Bounce, bounce, bounce!
