some bands are bands but this is artists in a room recording music

Cool 👍 😎

Vivarium brought me here, and I always loved the cover by Misery Loves Co.

I've been a big lover of the Beatles for a long time but I suggest you discover XTC the band of andy Partridge these are the new Beatles ☝🏽 ua-cam.com/video/Hpo1GyyiTcU/v-deo.htmlsi=pbPT2QqX7yR4-NfN

Use to sing it to our floor manager lol 😂😂

Dam! I love this song and I'm an old man. What I don't get is why, out of all the people I know, none of them share the same feeling. Is it because I know the wrong people or is there something wrong with me!?

i cried to this song once lmao

No idea idea what beauty is, this is very close

This song is so good I can actually vizualise Nigel..!

An absolute gem. There are several times during the song that i cannot help but to pay attention to the guitar hooks

I'm here because Vivarium brought me here😂❤

Should've been a massive hit - the chorus and pre-chorus even are just ridiculously hooky, and so is the intro guitar bit and "ooh ooh ooh" vocal for that matter. Poor production as someone has mentioned below given how hard this tune was live. Monumentally missed opportunity.

❤❤❤❤❤

Brilliant.

Am I asleep 💤 Or am I fast 💨 You every race You first, you last Roads girdle the globe 🌍 We all safe in your concrete robe 👘 Hail mother motor Hail piston rotor Hail wheel 🛞 Roads girdle the globe 🌍 Am I tied in Or do I turn Your sacred incense You tyre burn 🔥 Steer me Anna Am I get there When is A, B Oil, iron, steel You holy 3

The flip side to this is, "Snowman".

The whole song is just a wind-up for the brilliant ending.

It's an absolutely tremendous tune.

This song and Peter Hammill's "Accidents" both give me the same feeling where it sounds like these songs could have been recorded and released way later than they did. In other words this is timeless.

I feel a little Martin already...

Go and speak to your niece (do this do that) Kiss your aunt on the cheek Don’t talk back, now run along It’s gone 8, say goodnight That’s the way that it’s done Boy & girl, girl & boy This is how you do it and Who am I to reason why Wear a shirt, wear a tie You look smart in a suit Use your fork in the left Straighten up shoulders back This is the way that it’s done

My song of the Day. Taken from the album "Drums and Wires" reviewed by RS in March 1980. You should read the comments on you tube about tis band and this album. THE FANS LOVE THEM. This is a great song and as a double A side with "Making plans with nigel", I can see this getting to #1 of the newly resurrected RetroCountdown 45rpm charts within a couple of weeks. Well done lads. Day 6942. 2 x 3 x 13 x 89. Raw honey and apple and sweet corn and dried figs and fresh figs and fresh peas and all of my urine til 7.00pm then fresh fruit and vegetables and other foods. No change.

such a good song

I haven't heard this since 1979 now it's March 2024

Dit yo zz

John Peel loved this one & got me too as well. I remember that Ian Dury was another of his favourites. He played "What A Waste" just as much. Excellent songs that were not your more typical punk music of the times. It may just be me, but both songs have that "timeless" feel to them. Music that won't fade away. Thanks for the upload.

After watching Vivarium listen to this song the. watch "Mandy" by Nicholas cage. I swear this song will hit different Trust me!!!!!

Just finished Vivarium. this song is fire ! I was sure it was pulp

In his work

This song is a weird angular progressive rockish dirge and somehow, SOMEHOW they still manage to reel it back into a pop song perfectly at 2:30, no questions asked, fits perfectly despite the fact it matches none of the rest of the song.

Did not expect such a banger of a song to play for Vivarium's credits.

Half and Catch Fire brought me here.. It aired a decade ago but I missed it. This track is in season one episode one.

So much pop packed into so little minutes

I swear to god If I suck my thumb He will be here

XTC are the real followers of the Beatles. Every sing of them is great. Musically excellent! What a incredible fine Band! So sad, that they don´t do no more recordings...

Reminds of a dear party buddy Matt Niland...we had fun at college parties...he had the beer and I had the peach schnapps

For years I heard a mondegreen on this--no official lyrics back in the days of pre-internet & vinyl--and heard that last chorus as "Steel radiator" (Brit pronunciation of rad-i-ator(???)). Sure wasn't ever gonna guess "Steer me Anna." Who's Anna???

I was a massive Beefheart fan through the 70s, back when that was a pretty obscure thing to be into ("what is that noise/that you've got on?" was practically a quote from my gf at the time). So I was thrilled when that started showing up as an influence in other bands in the late-70s/early-80s. These guys were one of the best examples of that, ESPECIALLY this one. Glorious!

Have your future in British Steel or in any other capitalist workhouse.

You can hear where bands like the Young Knives and especially the Futureheads gained influence from.

Rocking this while I wear my Drums and Wires t-shirt my GF bought me. \m/

Now I gotta go see what vivarium is ..

The addition of Dave Gregory made them into a band that was light years ahead of their previous efforts

Bi-tonal guitar solos work for me

Just finished whatever you were thinking.
