Then this should reach it quickly.
Made it to the 1 minute mark

I also hate the Bee Gees
But this does it for me
Particularly the over 9 minute version on "Here at Last Live". The rest of the Album with the exception of "Jive Talking" is cringe inducing

Speaking of original movements, I think Bruce Russell makes a pretty convincing case with the selection and notes for Time to Go -- The Southern Psychedelic Movement: 1981-86, freshly out on Flying Nun.
It ranges from the well-known (the Chills) to the totally obscure (The Shallows). I love it to bits just for including the Playthings' 'Sit Down'.

I really can't bring myself to HATE any music, some I dont really like, but it could not be called hate. The most effective torture for me would be no music.
However a discussion of ZM / Barry Jenkins (late to the party I know) cannot be had without this tune, which I recorded from the radio (on a C90 cassette probably) night after night until he payed and did not talk over it. It is short enough without having to skip bits.

Some of the pre-disco psychedelia is actually rather fine.

Given the difficulty of procuring hallucenogenics in the early 1980s in the south Island, I suggest rebranding this as "Time to Spew -- the Fairhall river Claret box set".

Ha - brilliant!
At some stage I found myself in possession of a reel of Super 8 which documented a road trip taken by Chris Knox, Doug Hood and couple of others north to see Elton John at Western Springs in 1974. It was called something like Nowhere Goes North (Nowhere being the name of the Combi they used). I have no idea where I got it from, but we all tended to leave things all over Auckland in the late 1970s and I suspect I may have been given it when Toy Love went to Oz.
It was - I assure you - very chemical.
I returned it to Chris, along with box of pre-Tally Ho Clean demos that I'd also acquired somehow, in the late 1990s.

Worked out very well for him!
And good on him. Still, great sadness ensued when RWP ended, as well as the custom of playing random music clips between TV programs when they were ahead of schedule.

I have heard of this work. But Chris told me it was called 'Nothing'.
And yes, some members of the touring party may have consumed large quantities of LSD in the course of the journey.

You may well be right. It's an hilarious, heavily disjointed piece of film, which I guess is deep in the Knox archives now.

Actually, we're probably both right. On reflection, I think 'Nothing' was the name of the contemporaneous road journal Chris kept.

I'm so tempted to post music that I know everybody will hate. I am.

Hairstyles and attitudes
Time for some classic Chris Knox?

you have more? :)

That's a great song. Although for years I thought it was written by, um, Jon English.
Me too. I really loved his version.

Bloody disco bloody land.
How I wish that was a real place…
It is in all of our hearts.
Obligatory posting of The Middleman’s inspirational monologue from Mr Whit Stillman’s sublime The Last Days of Disco …
And, apropos of absolutely nothing, I’d probably have more of a social life if more live gigs were like this:

It's OK to post new music here, is it? :-)

Ok, I'll start.

I know some people have special feelings about Tears for Fears' 'Shout'. But it is horrid.

Toby,
Red Hot Chili Peppers. You know what I mean?

Not as horrid as 'Head Over Heels', which just adds that pinch of extra awfulness to Donnie Darko (which really really doesn't need it):

Actually, I always loved the instrumental breakdown at about 2:37-3:16.

You’ll also all be pleased to know that S Club 7 are making a comeback.
ETA: 'Maybe another place, another time, another decade. See you later daddio!'
It's almost prophetic.

No argument here.
