Video Killed The Radio Star
That song by Buggles makes me feel sad, makes me want for the days when I was 11 or 12 – my age when it came out. It invokes memories of a carefree childhood, without the hassles that present day life throws at you. What bollocks eh! Childhood was hard, Denbigh was a bully’s paradise and everyone and anyone was a target. We had no money, we wore 2nd hand clothes, and yet I hear that song and I yearn for those days – maybe its a mortality thing, because everytime you wake up it’s the anniversary of being a day closer to your death…

New Releases from Sons of Selina & 4Q
United World Underground, the tape label that has been running since 1987 & has released over 350 cassettes in those 14 years, has just released a special edition C90 by the Sons of Selina. Now Give Me Back My Cake – Special Edition, features a live recording of the band’s appearance at the 1995 Conwy Festival where they performed songs off both their Nour d’Oui & the then forthcoming Fire In The Hole albums. The special edition comes in the form of The Very Breast of 4Q from the punk band 4Q (from whom Sons of Selina eventually mutated) & it plots the band’s brief but productive recording career from 1988-90 & includes the version of John Lennon’s Imagine which made front page news across North Wales & the North West. Cassette comes with colour cover & biographies.

Sons of Selina in Astro Zombie
The grim seagulls shriek as they squabble over discarded scraps of fish batter and cold, greasy chips, lightly salted by the sand from the blasting wind on the bleak promenade. An old man, haggard and redundant, hypnotically stares out to sea from his bedsit window, one of the only ones still intact among those that are either boarded up or burnt out. A young pregnant woman struggles to push her pram against the wind. Her children trail behind, their shouts and cries harmonise with the clamour of the gulls and the whistle and rattle of the disused ‘Space Tower’. One of the children asks her mother, ‘Do you love me, mummy?’ The scouse-lilted reply, ‘Shurrup before I clock yer and gerr’ere now!’ instantly quietens the child. Her fag-ash drops onto the baby’s forehead who then begins to wail, which only seems to augment the mother’s stress (her girocheque failed to arrive this morning and little Sheryl-Anne is playing up again).
