Mick Jones during his B.A.D. era, here as the cover model for Blitz Magazine, June 1988 issue.

At the time Big Audio Dynamite had just released their 3rd album, 'Tighten Up, Vol. 88', featuring Paul Simonon's artwork for the cover, which may very well be the best thing about it, since the album had all the free-form elements of the previous ones, like hip hop, dance, reggae, funk and even a little country music that can be very upbeat, catchy and danceable, yet it kind of felt all over the place.

Here's some footage of Mick Jones promoting the album on MTVE and being interviewed by Tricia Ronane, former model, Paul Simonon's wife & co-manager of the Clash's royalties at the time, where Mick attempts to describe the physical effort it took to do the album struggling with his instruments and Tricia just struggles to keep from laughing at the thought of Mick 'struggling with his instrument'.

Neneh Cherry, Andi Oliver & Paul Simonon captured by Adrian Boot backstage during the shooting of Big Audio Dynamite video for the band's 1986 song "Medicine Show", directed by Don Letts and featuring himself as well as Joe Strummer and Simmo in cameo appearances as cops, plus John Lydon and the two girls/former members of Rip Rig + Panic by that time.

In the wise words of Serge Gainsbourg "You're under arrest, 'cause you are the best".

Early Blondie snapped by Paul Zone of The Fast while playing at 'Mother's, NYC, in 1975 (line-up: Gary Valentine, Clem Burke, Debbie Harry & Chris Stein).

Debbie definitely knew how to stand out effortlessly.

Re/Search

Here is a (nearly) complete collection of Re/Search books mostly on PDF.

Enjoy the Ballard. Learn about early Industrial culture. Be baffled by their attempt to cash in on the Swing trend of the early 2,000's. Be annoyed that they were partially responsible for extending Boyd Rice's career by decades. Marvel at once was and might possibly still be transgressive.

***same boys, different shot (actually not that different, it seems they had mastered only one pose, kind of like Zoolander).

The Feeding of the 5000, the debut album by the anarcho-punk band Crass, featuring this track "Punk Is Dead"

Not a light material, uncomfortable and somewhat controversial. Love it 🤩

John Lydon masterfully photographed by Anton Corbijn in the summer of 1983, with the old New Yorker Hotel in the background.

In 1981, PiL decided to relocate from London to New York, where recording sessions for the band's 4th studio album took place between '82-'83. After Pete Jones and Keith Levene left, John Lydon remained the only founding member still in the band and with the exception of Martin Atkins, the line-up was largely unknown local New Jersey musicians hired for the shows.

In September 1983 PiL’s biggest UK hit single, ‘This Is Not A Love Song‘, is released, followed by their first actual UK and European tours.
