Hit Me!
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008I Remember hearing this for the first time on a Bang & Olufsen stereo that looked like the deck of the Starship Enterprise. Ian Dury & The Blockheads seem to be getting a resurgence of recognition in the UK but not many people have heard of them this side of the pond. During the whole punk/post-punk era they were on something else entirely. Dury’s brilliant, wry, comic lyrics and almost spoken delivery combined with an incredible bunch of musicians as tight but loose as the JBs in their heyday.
