A rejoinder to my Wroclaw t-shirt experience, from reader Jimmy Hayes:

Had a real moment reading your anecdote about The Clean and Wroclaw.

In late 2011 I travelled through Wroclaw also. My host took me to a bar and introduced me to a burly doorman who spoke zero English, but…

I took a pic backstage at the FN 10th anniv. gig at Sammy's, Dunedin of Robert Scott, Paul Rose and Dominic Stones all standing next to each other wearing Clean t-shirts. Paul had the pic as his F/b profile pic a little while ago.

Good to see you and Jose in the Waikato yesterday,

Good to see you, too, Geoff. Shame we couldn't stay longer — although we did manage to see Richard O'Brien as we drove through the CBD!

The Bats were great last night, full house of appreciative fans, the support act The Salad Boys were a revelation too…

A propos of precious little, but.... Well, it has music, at least. I just saw Sky Kiwi's retweet of a Weibo post by Whale Watch Kaikoura. The text is about the Marine Mammal Conference, but it was the video that grabbed my eye – fairly typical of how NZ tourism…

Wow, that was very 1981. Blast from the past! (although if I ever actually saw the Pin Group play, I can't remember.) Duffel coats, cheap alcohol, boot boys and bad parties. Them were the days :)

I dig that Ronnie van Hout designed flying saucer cover of the Pin Group's Go To Town 12" EP and later on the remastered CD Ambivalence. Worth noting Ronnie van Hout's posting of live footage of the Pin Group ca 1981 – two songs, Ambivalence and…

I really enjoyed the Mint Chicks cover art. Seeing the work of these former art-school punks was like candy, enticing you into the world they'd created. Octagon Octagon Octagon in particular stands out to me, coming as it did early in their career when their presence hadn't been established.

Thanks for posting The National clip Ben. Thanks too to publicaddress for alerting me, I picked up a couple of t-shirts with Clean covers on. Can't recall immediately who made them.

The Bats... god I'd love to see the Bats again. Oddly, I heard a couple of Bats tracks shopping…

remembrance of things parsed...
Please note that the credit for that original photo of The Clean in the bath should go to Carol Tippet, without whom there would be few early F Nun and Toy Love pix....
...and how embarrassing to see a coupla pages of my old crappy doodles…
