I love Mark cracking up Kirsty. RIP both. Fantastic original souls!
I really love the Mandinka video, honestly it holds up. Sinead's striking presence and her voice just soars! I miss both Mark and Kristy, but thankfully their influence is still felt today
Great !! Not seen this before ! Kirsty very lovely ! And Mark E Smith , a very handsome looking man in his youth !
Also Mick Brown , very good ! Never saw him until now !
Thanks for watching and commenting, glad you enjoyed this
Who'd have guessed we'd be sitting here in 2020 without these 2.
I certainly would never have imagined it.
A tragedy x
Me, I remember watching this and thinking in 2020 all these people will be dead.
Strange, Eh?
we are
The 90s were BRUTAL on Mark!! He looks healthy here
I have an issue of Q Magazine from 2000 with Smith in it. The photos make him look at least twenty years older than he should have been.
@@mikewilson3581 yeah who wouldve thought that 3 day speed and booze binges were bad for your health 😆
RIP MarK and Kirsty.
The singles discussed are ''All day and all of the night'' by The Stranglers, ''Jingo'' by Jellybean, ''Plug me in'' by Scarlet Fantastic, ''Family man'' by Fleetwood Mac, ''A little piece of heaven'' by Godley & Creme, ''Mandinka'' by Sinéad O'Connor and ''Are you sure'' by So.
Ta!
Odd that they discuss The Stranglers' cover of a Kinks song, and have a bit of a general chat about cover versions, but don't relate that to The Fall's forthcoming release of their version of The Kinks' 'Victoria'.
Excellent thanks for uploading
Mark must have been relaxed and comfortable here, , you soon knew when he wasn't.
RIP to these 2
Thanks for watching and commenting Lee
Lovely photo of Richard Madeley in the thumbnail.
Within 2 years they'd both done Kinks covers!
Yep Victoria but put me out of my misery which did she do?
@@brianpomeroyfilms Days
@@404dia of course thanks.
404dia 10:47 it’s mentioned
I'm noy sure what is "lyrically interesting" about "Victoria" though,
Kirsty MacColl will Always be absolutely gorgeous! ❤️🎶🙏🎶❤️
Absolutely!!
I always was was under the impression she was Irish. She was hot though God bless her soul
I love the way she comes out with home truths. "People use videos to sell absolute rubbish". God, never a truer word and absolutely prophetic since the 80s! You could NEVER have a show like this from the mid-90s onwards. It's too critical and truthful. NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO CRITCISE (TELL TRUTH) ABOUT ANYTHING IN SHIT BIZ NOW! Pathetic and criminal, especially as all there ever IS to slag off as the industry is utterly full of shit.
I like it that The Fall did covers.
I love the way Kirsty talks, she's got a lovely voice!
Thank you for uploading. I'm a huge Kirsty fan.
Thank you for this. If you have Any more footage of these 2 it would be great If you shared it. Two great artists.
I'll see what I can find. To be honest I never realised I had taped this until last week. I recorded it, mislabelled it on the video tape and then as I digitised the tape last weekend this recording appears, a forgotten wee gem.
I just started looking at this guy and his work and history. This is the most ''normal '' I've found so far. I find Mark a most fascinating individual a rare character. Thanks for this very much appreciated.
Well said Kirsty about Fleetwood Mac
Back when artists were allowed honest opinions of their own before the Gary Barlow school of getalong flattened everything into a beige soup
Groups with bass players with ponytails- out. Cheers Mark 😂
MacColl defending her opinion of ‘Tango In The Night’ was hilarious and Mark saying ‘they’re part of a patronising market’ killed me lol
She didn't defend her position and then admitted she didn't listen to it.
it wasn't defending it just admitting other people may like it but not for her
Mental! I used to watch NIght Network back in the 80s. It was the first time I saw Craig Charles. This would have been aired just before my 14th birthday. I really looked like shit every morning lmao.
Mark E Smith looks like a young Richard Madeley here 😂😂
Brilliant
Just thought the same. Was Judy on keyboards?
Both kirsty & mark did kinks covers.
Two tragic losses ! God bless them both
MES smiling, laughing, having a good time.
Bloody hell, Mark E. Smith looks like Richard Madeley in the thumbnail.
Mark was such a handsome dude before the drugs and booze ravaged him. It's hell what addiction will do to someone.
Thanks for watching and commenting
I don’t know why but Mark looks a lot like Richard Madeley to me
I can see it!
Ironic that Mark was about to release a Kinks cover!
Fair play to Kirsty. She held her own with the often-intimidating MES.
She had already worked with Shane and the Pogues. Surely this will have toughened her ready for Mark.
He couldn't be more wholesome! lol. It's like the other vid of him reviewing singles. he just kind of likes them all and says like one barely scathing thing.
It's funny for his reputation, I find like 95% of his interviews on here are him in good spirits and the comment section is invariably 'wow Mark is in good spirits here' lol.
I thought that was Richard Madley on the thumbnail.
I miss the days when tv studios had house sparrows and seagulls.
Love The Stranglers
RIP Kirsty
I have that Art Deco Sofa and Chairs!
Richard Madeley
🤣. Im laughing but I do see the similarities
😆
Great to see real people speaking their own mind, rather than saying everything is great. Would have liked to have seen the budget stretch to include a couple of remote controls for the guests tho, that wouldn't happen today would it! Cheers.
I never knew Richard Medley was a singer in the fall..
Radio is definitely Mick Brown's forte.
Could you list the redacted videos? I couldn't tell what some of em was... which Sinead tune was it, for example...
I know some were
Stranglers "All day and all night"
Fleetwood Mac - Family Man
Godley and Creme - A little piece of Heaven
Sinead O'Conner - Mandinka
So - Are you Sure?
Is the presenter Pat Sharp's pal Mick, from Pat & Mick?
Yes it is
Decent video love mes and kirsty. Both missed And a Sad loss. Mark to much beer an whizz and lovely kirsty sadly lost her life to soon courtesy of some whopper🎉
For a chap who thought interviews were embarrassing he didn’t half put himself about that Mark Smith.
Mark looks like Richard Madelay's evil twin.
But which twin was the evil one?
@@BroonParker Madelay, of course.
Yes. Scary isn't it? And is that really Kirsty or Celestine? Sleep well my friend
I don't understand why they panned the Stranglers after about 60 seconds😕
Just not fans I guess
I wonder if Lol Creme remembers playing footy against MES
Both prestwich..
Interesting time capsule that at this time they hadn't heard of Sinead O'Connor. They make fun of her name like everybody in the world wouldn't know it 2 years later.
Very true. Thanks for watching and Commenting
That they made them walk all that way to push a silly stopper 😂 oh the days gone by
100k on making a video (according to her 2:26). videos were very low overhead in those days. tons of money being a Music-video creator back then. everyone was so hilariously hoity. fun times in make belief.
MES is much more enjoyable to listen to when he's younger and much soberer.
Yep Bass players with Ponytails OUT
as about as close as MES got to selling out
Yeah, very true
I've seen a few of these 80s pop tv shows with him on it. In Morrissey's book he said he had to do it because The Smiths weren't getting any daytime radio airplay whatsoever (Just Peel at night time) so he had to 'promote' the band this way instead. Same situo for MES here probably.
Stranglers cover? White Room, except the big baggy pants. Loved that record. My asshole brother threw it out.
It was a Kinks song that the stranglers were covering, All Day and All of the night
Sorry. It was white room by Cream.
Thought it were Rich Madeley in thumbnail.
Is that what thi thowt it were
@@cubecubesson6779 Thou art correct.
@@lawrencefinch-hatton6231 Haha 👍
When the hell was 'Family Man' ever a network smash?
That’s Richard Madeley. Nice try though.
The emperor has no clothes.
They didn’t like the brass section
The late 80s: a time when pop music was crap and the critics (mostly those artists who couldn't make as much money) knew it.
But the dance music went interstellar - aciiiiiiiid!!
Is she the lady who was crushed by a piano on new-years-eve?
No, she was sliced open by a speed boat, killed instantly...as tragic as it sounds...
@@kes11 Clean...
lol toughest couple of judges to please, even calling xray spex dated but I suppose it was by the end of the 80s sounds fresh again now, late 80s had some really rubbish music I turned to the pirate stations for better stuff
Thanks for watching and commenting Nick, scary to realise this is now 36 years ago, almost to the day😮
I love Kirsty and her unfortunate early demise is all the proof I need that there is no god.
Let's face it The Fall's version of 'Ghost In My House' wasn't all that, eh?
It's Ok, not a fav of mine to be honest. The Fall did some weird and wonderful cover versions over the years.
@@ScottishTeeVee 'Victoria' by The Kinks was a good cover of theirs, but 'Mr Pharmacist' was a bit so-so for me, too.
Lost in music was a classic.
@@colallison6152 legend of Xanadu is prob my favourite fall cover, but most of them are great
Videos are evil things and they do sell rubbish.
The last interview he did was complaining about refugees coming to England. Sad.
Why? He is entitled to his opinion.
@@nasskhan4543 This is a refreshing opinion. Should be banned!!
Actually he was complaining of it being almost exclusively young men of fighting and breeding age who were coming.
@@OldSethOnetooth 'Breeding age'.
MES had some very nuanced political opinions which don’t sit perfectly right with people on Left and Right, which is pretty on brand for the man.
His concern wasn’t “refugees” in general. It was - whether you agree or not, whether he was accurate or not - that a disproportionate amount of immigrants fleeing dangerous countries were young men. He thought it was their duty to stay behind and defend their land, send the women and children to the safe countries and leave themselves till last.
He also felt that the influx of immigrants could indirectly serve to further marginalise the white working-classes, to whom he identified with fiercely and championed. He was not concrete on this, it was just a concern.
So yeah. I don’t particularly agree with MES on most of this, but i think it’s worth clarifying that MES wasn’t just a straightforward typical Daily Mail reader sort
How can Kirsty not like Fleetwood Mac or 'Tango in the Night'?
Great songs grow on you, perhaps.
She had good taste
@@marknewbold2583perhaps…but certainly not in this instance.
She was just pretending to be "edgy".@@marknewbold2583
