Cruiser's Creek the Fall (extended version) 1985

 One of their best 45s. Always like hearing this. 

There's a party going down around here

Cruiser's creek now
Watch the shirt-tails flapping in the wind
Sidewalk running
See the people holding from the back
Hat-boaters tilting
There's a party going on around here
Cruiser's creek now
Cruiser's creek yeah

From Viva Las Vegas

The Swinger (1966)

 Watched this movie today. It's OK. I like Ann-Margret but it wasn't brilliant. A vehicle for her skills apparently it is from a trilogy of vehicles which includes Vive Las Vegas and Bye Bye Birdie. Wiki

Glastonbury gates open.


 Are you going? Where we used to live used to go really quiet over the Glastonbury weekend as a lot of people would go down. We only went once in 92 and finished up camping with our neighbours in the Green Field. Was hot and drinks were expensive. I took a folding bike and enjoyed cycling around the site in the morning before people woke up. Saw the Fall. And the Orb. Wasn't in a rush to repeat it - it was a rich man's game. Morrissey was on the bill but cancelled. There were lots of Morrisey lookalikes walking about.

 When the children were young we used to have a cassette of Ramonesmania in the car. This one was on it. Watch here


Most of the later songs which we didn't know we're rubbish but this track was good. The kids did grow up to like the Ramones naturally. 

Clothing and Landscape by Rachel Worth

 Recommended by Anthony L. Dawson.

At the beginning of the Victorian period, most of England's population lived in the countryside; by its end, the balance had tipped towards living in urban and suburban spaces. In the context of this rapidly changing world, Rachel Worth explores the ways in which the clothing of the rural working classes was represented visually in paintings and photographs and by the literary sources of documentary, autobiography and fiction, as well as by the particular pattern of survival and collection by museums of garments of rural provenance. Rachel Worth explores ways in which clothing and how it is represented throws light on wider social and cultural aspects of society, as well as how 'traditional' styles of dress, like men's smock-frocks or women's sun-bonnets, came to be replaced by 'fashion'. Her compelling study, with black & white and colour illustrations, both adds a broader dimension to the history of dress by considering it within the social and cultural context of its time and discusses how clothing enriches our understanding of the social history of the Victorian peri
