Rule of Three invoked for Pop WIll Eat Itself. Grebo Scum or musical inovators. Comic reading geeks or serious commentators on a media saturated world.

Is it still true that festivals without a PWEI T-Shirt at them will burn down?

Rule of Three? Where are the 3 threads then?

they used to make me laugh, and you can bounce up and down to their songs really well. No indie disco in the late 80s, early nineties would have been complete without one of their songs.

Bah, not fair, ILE Search not working. Um, on a manual look The Truth Is Outed, Requiem For A Dream film thread and a old band T-Shirt thread. What a memory.

There's also the orgone accumulator thread if you want to be pedantic and go after song titles.

I used to want to destroy them and their deliberately ugly ways. Now I don't care.

but which is which? defcon 1 = state of peace IRL, but defcon 1 = state of war in top film WARGAMES. i prefer WARGAMES to real life generally tho, so don't ask me.

PWEI - marvellous. Not now james -- we're busy. thought stuff after x,y and zee was a little lame (p-lame?)

oh and wargames was responsible for alan moore's (and all subsequent) inversions of the 1 to 5 thingie. FACT.

wise up sucker - show em what oyu've got, she loves me...she loves me not.

There is no love between us anymorrrrrrrrre.

Actually, that's a lie. Can U Dig It and Def Con One still make me smile and would probably make me get up and dance as well if I frequented the sorts of indie discos that still play them.

― RickyT, Friday, 30 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Def Con One is a terrific record. That whole album is one I'd quite happily own - "Not Now James We're Busy" was SUBVERTING sampla-culcha.

why isn't this on ILM?

― DV, Friday, 30 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Cos i) rule of 3 doesnt apply to ILM; ii) Everything includes Music etc etc; iii) I think we've had a poppies thread there.

― Tom, Friday, 30 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Because they were about so much more than just the music , man.

Beaver Patrol is the basis of all humanity.

Martin is always going down town and hustling chicks. That's how you get your kicks isn't it?

First heard This is the Day in 1989 and I thought it was great. Still do. Cure for Sanity is right up there as well.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 30 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You are all on Newcy Brown.

― Nick, Friday, 30 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

They were from Stourbridge Nick, not Newcastle. And yes, This Is The Day & Cure For Sanity were both fantastic albums.

Saw them live a lot. Once they got a proper drummer in they gave good gig.

― Pete, Friday, 30 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Was that Fuzz?

― Jonnie, Friday, 30 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I know they were from Stourbridge Pete. I was referring to the fact that grebos seemed to be disproportionately fond of Newcastle Brown. Maybe it was just my school.
