Sorry, what did they sing exactly? Were these new and original Green/Alexis compositions? If so, could you tell us more about them? -jdl ... And ... the ... ...
... I don't know who exactly wrote what, but they weren't some kind of tacky covers band. :) I should add that it was a relaxed, businesslike set and quite...
I was hoping someone would give a tremendously detailed account because I went and I'm really struggling. To be fair, it's difficult to give an appraisal of...
it's a bizarre turn of things that this discussion came about and i could only stare dully at it due to personal turmoil at the time but now i'm back - Green...
Thanks very much to both Richards for their reviews and comments. Just one more question, if you don't mind: how were G&A introduced at the show, and was there...
Now that's what I'm talking about -- a little passion, a little metaphor, a little stream-of-conscious narrative on the Scritti board! Way to go, ka. Music...
... Well as you might expect at most gigs, nobody introduced them, and when they came on they introduced themselves as Alexis Taylor from Hot Chip and Green...

I may have posted this last year but it's worth a re-post. Simon Reynolds wrote an article in Slate reviewing his two favorite albums of 2006, The Warning and...
Thanks, Dubba. That really is a brilliant article, and a timely reminder that part of Green's magic lies in his ability to combine ideas with technique. ... ...
Just thought i'd share this snippet of info i just spotted on eil.com.I typed in Green Gartside just to see what popped up & noticed a CD/DVD package which is...
This cd/dvd is discussed here http://bibbly-o-tek.com/2006/09/28/wbbb-special-japanese-edition/ No backstage footage whatsoever - it's the Shai Productions ...
Here's an idea. Since there seems to be a little lull, both in the topical posts and in Green's concert activities, I thought some members might like to tell...
... You can treat my story however you like... Travelling from a cricket match in 1984 in the back of my dad's car. Probably somewhere in Hertfordshire. Heard...
I was absurdly interested in pop music from about the age of 5, regularly skipping school dinner so I could pop home on Tuesday to catch the new Top 40 rundown...
... It's a great idea. Here goes: Summer of, er... I don't actually remember the year. An NME cassette, maybe the legendary C86 but probably one of the later...
My first acquaintance with Scritti Politti's music began around 1982.I remember sitting in the kitchen one afternoon,my mother was baking cakes & was an avid...
I fell in love with Scritti when I was falling in love as I was going to college. Those love songs from Cupid and Psyche seemed to hit me right in the...
Blimey, I remember Radio 2 in the early 80s as being the kind of station where Barbara Dickson records would be considered too racey to playlist! I like the...
Oooh, I love this thread!!! I first heard Scritti Politti in 1983 and it was a life-saver creating a buffer between me and my little world. I first heard SP...
The first thing i would have heard is The Sweetest Girl on one of those NME compilations. My older brothers used to play it repeatedly. I remember liking it...
I have to jump in and say as a Smiths fan, they didn't totally eschew 'Black' music (as you have qualified it with an almost.) Marr was/is a big fan of disco,...
I used to drive a courier van from suburban NJ to NYC twice a day.Once in the morning and once in the late afternoon. I would occasionally pick up friends and...
Yeah, Marr said he was influenced by Sharon Redd (early 80s disco) records for Electronic's excellent first LP. But I was talking specifically about Morrissey....
At 16 I my parents took me to Montreal and, being an only child, allowed me to bring a friend along. I spent nearly the entire time with C&P in my bright...
Very first impression: gobsmacked at the photo of Green in my little sister's copy of Smash Hits circa 1984 (you know the one: blond hair, white jacket,...
