Pennie Smith captures The Jam in matching black suits, white shirts, black ties and black & white shoes. Three aliens from another time and place, dropped into a London street scene. Life goes on oblivious in the background, but something is starting...
“Away From The Numbers” (2017). This painting on paper was influenced by and created to the song of the same name by The Jam. The composition could be seen as a series of doors which can isolate. Either willingly or otherwise.

In the City, ist the debut studio album by British mod revival/punk rock band The Jam, released on this day in 1977 and featured the hit single and title track 'In the City'
“When I said I was into bondage this wasn’t quite what I had in mind, miss!” Edgar huffed as the glamorously clad undercover cop, Nicky, securely handcuffed his wrists together behind his back. The woman smiled slightly while she tightened Edgar’s cuffs. “Ask your lawyer to put a complaint in, creep,” she smirked, “perhaps you can claim a breach of the Trades Description Act!” Edgar winced as his restraints were tightened by the female detective.
‘Smart arse witch’, the wanted fraudster said to himself, deciding, probably wisely, not to repeat his insult to the formidable redhead out loud.

MONDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO “Turn Your Back On the Wind” by The Fourmyula https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuX_5thg3m0 Winding back to 1969-70, Chris Andrews was working with The Fourmyula, a band from New Zealand who’d been recording at Abbey Road next door to The Beatles—musically simpatico with The Fourmyula’s harmony-driven psychedelic pop that became heavier as the band progressed. In 1968 they’d had a string of hits unmatched by any other band from NZ. Back then, NZ bands relied on doing covers of overseas songs, but The Fourmyula insisted on recording their own material. Their song “Nature,” composed by pianist/guitarist Wayne Mason, became a #1 international hit, won several awards, and went on to be covered by numerous artists over the years. It can be said they set the stage for later NZ successes like Crowded House, Neil Finn, and Split Enz.
“Turn Your Back On the Wind” was the title song of a Fourmyula album produced by Chris. In 1971 the band broke up and went home (excepting drummer Chris Parry stayed in the UK, went into A&R and production, and later launched The Cure and The Jam). Meanwhile, as musical heroes in their homeland, The Fourmyula reformed with Mason in 2010 on the heels of a CD box set celebrating their excellent recordings. “Turn Your Back on the Wind” is still getting plays. On a cosmic jukebox it plays between early Bee Gees and Marmalade... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuX_5thg3m0
