Haven’t gotten off the Internet yet. Can’t resist posting a few more YouTube videos. Particularly as the previous two were of Welsh and American people. This is meant to be England Day, so here’s some video examples of some very splendid English things.

And here’s New Order playing ‘Temptation’ for a live radio session in 1984. I find this clip adorable for many reasons. Let me count the ways: cute singer, great song built around simple loops and riffs, obscene shorts, bleached 80s hair, forgetting how to play one’s own guitar, getting bad tempered in public, drummer playing like a computer, the old Radio 1 logo. Likewise ‘Age Of Consent’.
