    Makes you wish you were in an old fashioned pub, getting pissed, with someone playing the piano and everyone singing along to this. Great stuff. My old mate introduced me to this song. Rest in peace bud.

    When you think about it, it’s pretty amazing how the Dukes progressed from Your Gold Dress, and Bike Ride to the Moon,
    to You’re a Good Man Albert Brown and Pale & Precious in a mere 28 months... quite an accomplishment for a sixties band.
    It’s no wonder XTC ripped them off any way they could.

    • @kristlepickles
      @kristlepickles Рік тому +1

      They're not a sixties band. They were formed in 1984 and modeled after the psychedelic rock bands of the 70s.

      Also, the 60s had a lot of that kind of talent.

      The "Dukes" sound much better than 75% of the so called psychedelic offerings from the 1960s.
      The Chips From the Chocolate Fireball track listing, could be a Top 20 from 1967!

Dans chaque pièce où l’on pénètre, les individus sont habillés en noir et blanc des pieds à la tête. Ils ont cette étrange absence dans les yeux tout en vous regardant fixement. Les plafonds sont peints, le mobilier est d’un luxe indescriptible et le marbre veiné des tables reflète l’évanescente sérénité de l’endroit ! Tout y est rigide, jusqu’au temps qui s’écoule derrière les lambris, comme aux aguets
