ImageOff on a mini-trip to Italy today. Inter Milan vs Chelsea at the San Siro was just too good an opportunity to turn down. I hope we do as well there as Man Utd did last week but I'm not counting my chickens. I need to stock up on some baccy anyway so £235 for flights,transfers and match tickets won't exactly kill me. Now I know why people make pilgrimages abroad to see "God" See you in Milan Mr Mourinho!

Devo - The Men Who Make The Music (1979)

ImageThis was originally going to be the worlds first ever home made video album. More info here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Men_Who_Make_the_Music (because I'm lazy)

I downloaded this a long time ago so its the old Mpeg format but it plays well on Windows Media Player and Media Player Classic. 307mb and 49 minutes. Join the files together with HJ-Split.

Again one of my posts is influenced by Jeff's recent Devo posts over at the great http://musicruinedmylife.blogspot.com/ so this post is dedicated to Jeff.

ImageThey say goalkeepers need to be a crazy. I never really understood that until 1979 when Chelsea signed Yugoslavian,Petar Borata. Petar put the L into lunatic,the M into mental and the E into entertaining. In todays football world full of greedy arrogant souless characterless players,I'd like to remember one of our most colourful players ever. Think Bruce Grobbelaar and times it by 20 and you'll know what I mean. Borata was often seen sweeping up high up the field,sometimes in midfield even occasionally on the wings. He thought nothing of nutmegging opposition centre forwards too. He often used to just swing off the crossbar when the ball was up the other end of the field. Our fans voted him player of the year in 1981. He was a lunatic...but he was our lunatic and we loved him.

Petar Borata R.I.P.

Dr. Feelgood - Going Back Home (Live 1975)

ImageLive from The Kursaal,Southend its another super live band - the undisputed kings of Pub Rock,Dr Feelgood. Apparently even without any original members now,they still are a super live band today. But in 1975 you had classic Feelgood and I wish I had seen them back then. I didn't get to see them until the 80's but they were brilliant then too and that was without Wilko Johnson who of course features here.

You can buy this on much better quality DVD with a bonus 24 track live CD for under 7 quid here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dr-Feelgood-Going-Back-Home/dp/B0006MLSJY
