True pop

More from the Palatine: The Factory Story 1979-1990 box set.  Volume 3 was The Beat Groups, and there are short but rather sweet words from Paul Morley, Martin Hannett and Jon Savage.




THE DISTRACTIONS / Time Goes By So Slow

Oh, I really loved this song.  Billy Fury Baudelaire at the end of his tether, at the end of a mortail coil. /PM

The dramatic appearance of the Gay Animals, Liz Naylor and Cath Carroll, in their matching 60's suits.  And what about Pip?  City Fun.  Factory met Zoo halfway at Leigh and nobody came.  MH: 'Four cars parked in a field.'  True pop: melody masking deep loss. /JS
