barty's guide to the post-punks

Some of my favourite ever music but I love the odd big hit, rather than whole albums. Just posting up a few that I don't think have been on.
Love it how Lesley Woods is now an immigration barrister. Just something about all the different instruments on this meshing really well.
When I drunkenly set up a band as "something to do" in 2014, cos the gig we were going to got cancelled, we did this as our first ever recording. Not gonna post it cos its pretty awful but I still love this song. I've checked out a bit of the rest of flying nun and there's some decent stuff but this is the pick.
Just love this. I don't think there's another band quite like em. I got the vinyl of one of the side project bands, that's also pretty good. I love this tune the most, but thd albums briolliant, like one entire mood.
Another one where the album is just brilliant, those smashing glass sounds.

As always when discussing this stuff I would highly recommend @soundslike1981 who used to post here occasionally- their 1981 mixes are superb and they also put together a great 1979 ‘box set’ that I’d also recommend https://musicophilia.wordpress.com/tag/1981/

Just got this remarkable 12", it's like they've had dub described to them but never actually heard it:

This Heat may be the greatest post-punk band, ex-proggers of course, seemed to adapt the deepest methodologies of dub/funk/disco rather than simple pastiche.
...and of course this out-of-place-artefact proto-jungle:

I half-remember a story about Ian Curtis getting huffy with Crawling Chaos for calling his band "Joyce Division". Mirthless Tory cunt.

It only became a sound when another tranche of tedious guitar bands got marketed as "post punk revival", completely missing the point. It's hard to think of any recent bands who might count as properly post punk. Massicot maybe. Or – I suppose – Sleaford Mods

for a while (until 1994 - maybe 1995) it was obvious that dance music was the new post-punk.
apart from anything it was FULL of post-punkers (see this old comic of mine https://photos.app.goo.gl/7X3q5RaVFh55UTNu5)
that's life innit. nothing can stay the same - and remain the same thing.
