RIP Hamish Kilgour 💐🌹🌿. Sincere condolences to the Kilgour family, friends and Flying Nun family. I still treasure my original vinyl of Boodle Boodle Boodle from 1981... ❤
I’ll try make a version of the gadget on Men In Black so it wipes your memory , you could listen to you’re favourite songs for the first time over and over , merry Christmas.
Heard a Chris Knox song on Spotify and loved it. So looked into him and ended up here. This is the first song of my new Zealand music rabbit hole. If the rest are half as good I'm never coming back up.
RIP Hamish. I will always remember you as gentle, sensitive, and cool. Thanks for playing at my (first) wedding. Your music will live in my heart forever.
"Anything Could Happen" (The Clean) joins "What Goes On" (Velvet Underground), "Roadrunner" (Modern Lovers), and "All Down the Line" (Rolling Stones) as my all-time favorites!
I remember buying this in 1981. I was flatting with a bunch of Bob Dylan/The Eagles/ insert dull oldies music here, and I put this on at a party. Well, they were shocked. Disgusted even. I was seventeen I think and I said, "it's new, it's interesting and it's better than relistening to the same tired crap you continue to listen too". Yeah, so one flatmate absolutely got it. We're still friends 'til this day. The rest of them and their mates? Unsurprisingly, I don't see them.
I was sadly unaware about Hamish's passing until a few weeks ago, though I did hear about his sudden disappearance back in November. The Clean (as with just about everyone here) was my introduction to the Dunedin Sound, a music scene that much like Olympia has a very special place in my music taste. This one along with Diamond Shine and Point That Thing are two of some of my favorite songs to ever come out of NZ as a whole. RIP man, you really helped shape indie rock as we know it today.
Cool, been listening to the Clean for donkeys years and didn't realize he played a 12 string in this song ! Anyone interested in the Clean i would say vehicle is a good album to start with ! In my opinion they are the cream of the crop of NZ music !
From the UK.....First heard of the Clean 1990, brought "Vehicle" along with the Chills " Submarine Bells "....Those 2 bands gave so much to the world of popular indie music....criminaly under promoted..... In the UK or USA would of been drolled over an worshipped as a supergroup....Thank you for the music ....Flying nun records..
I’m a music nerd in the states and to me Flying Nun is what Kiwi music is. I know NZ and Australia have a rivalry but on music, the Kiwis got the Aussies best from my outsider eyes.
They are certainly considered one of NZ's best bands by people who have good taste, and want something more than the over produced, mindless dribble that's marketed to the masses. The Clean didn't want the fame and hype, that's the reason why they have remained out of the lime light so to speak. They have kept their art true and relative, it has stood the test of time and still holds its magic. Very inspiring.
The Clean, and the entire Flying Nun catalogue from the early 80's made up the bulk of my early 20's - back in the day (thanks to Rough Trade SF). RIP Hamish - many hours of listening joy.
Unreal. I just had a hankering to disappear down the flying nun rabbithole for kicks. Had no idea Hamish had passed away. Very sad. Safe travels man..............
RIP Hamish Kilgour. Your music will always be a part of this world. Thank you for making it.
Did you get to see them?

Rest In Power Hamish
This song is timeless.
relentless
it was the first album to successfully use the catch them before it starts philosophy 👍and nobody will ever do it better if you ask me 😊
RIP Hamish, thanks for the memories... The Clean were magical and this is just timeless.
I don't rate him. Opotiki
The fact that this song is not known and loved all over the English speaking world is criminal. It made it to Canada, at least in my house.
my house too :P
Definitely a classic down here in NZ
live365 had stations that played this kind of music but shut down.
My House in the middle of the Mediterranean too.
My house in Canada, too. In fact, I hereby declare today Indie Kiwi Music Day!

Amen!!! much love from a 25yo in NYC
They didn't exist in a vacuum because they weren't The Vacuum Clean.

Is there anything like hearing a great song for the first time?

No
no
predicting accidents
Nope
I'm 61.
This is the definitive best song ever.
So there.
You need to get out more.
Heard a Chris Knox song on Spotify and loved it. So looked into him and ended up here. This is the first song of my new Zealand music rabbit hole. If the rest are half as good I'm never coming back up.
there is a lot to discover
Welcome to the best kept secret ever
May you never surface.
The Clean should've gone it alone like David said ended up like the Clash. As a result Flying Nun you were abusive.
Love that podcast mannnnnnnn
im 74 an old rocker /i was dancing around the room / clever guys those kiwi boys god bless phil n perth wa//
RIP Hamish. I will always remember you as gentle, sensitive, and cool. Thanks for playing at my (first) wedding. Your music will live in my heart forever.
❤️
He died because it was supposed to be real ✊🥶😏
NZ music was amazing in this era.
NZ was amazing in this era, not so much now with the One World Politics, Wokeness and control being forced on us.
I may be dirty, but i love The Clean.
Don't forget the great unwashed 😉
stay dirty you friggin bonch
Love the oldschool views around Christchurch. Cathedral Square in the early 80s ffs!
I’m surprised the Wizard didn’t wander into the background.
"Anything Could Happen" (The Clean) joins "What Goes On" (Velvet Underground), "Roadrunner" (Modern Lovers), and "All Down the Line" (Rolling Stones) as my all-time favorites!
alllriiight you know some nice tunes
"What Goes On" is definitely one of my favorite songs of all time
Yeah man, right on
What a list!!!
I can't argue with any of those choices.
I don’t comment on RUclips often, but this song rocks.
The world should have let me know they knew me and the world would be a much better place 😪 peanut xtra 👍 how you gonna make it up to me 😏 Dean
NZ music always seems to be ahead of the curve. From the Dunedin Sound preceding 90s indie to Lorde preceding the minimalist pop of the late 2010's.
The Clean.....and the Chills. 2 of the best bands......in the WORLD
@@brianwoods2395 Don’t leave out the Bats!
They were from New Zealand? ? 😮 How could I not know that?
Must've slept that day.
RIP Hamish. Great legacy.
No different to any other day 😏
Thanks for the timeless music Hamish. RIP 💔
I killed him 🌀
One of the greatest songs ever written.

you should check out the doublejumps if you want to hear something new and interesting
@@MassiveFish-hp4pm Thanks. I will do that. Where are they from?
@@annakeye New zealand
@@MassiveFish-hp4pm I'm showing my age. Still, I will check them out. Thanks.
Exbats are good too
Bless you Hamish. Thankyou for the music, it was special and much loved.
What's the point in being competitive? 🔥

Zeppelin failed him
I've always saw The Clean as if the The Velvet Underground and The Fall had a baby and my god is that epic.
one of the best songs ever written
Intuitive 🥳
I love this band. Godspeed, Hamish.
After all these years (and continents), still one of my all time favorite songs.
Real and raw. Great Stuff!!! Hard to find in modern-day music. New music often sound like "plastic". Very unreal.
A masterpiece
RIP Hamish another kiwi legend gone to soon
I used to be friends with him on Facebook he told me syd barret just got out of the music biz... now I believe him I'm only 48
Close your eyes,,,, timeless genius musical lyricists in action. This could have been released now and still sound current!
One of my fave ever Flying Nun bands❤
Simply the best
RIP legend
Just heard.
Cool, been listening to the Clean for donkeys years and didn't realize he played a 12 string in this song ! Anyone interested in the Clean i would say vehicle is a good album to start with ! In my opinion they are the cream of the crop of NZ music !
Spot on spannerfaction....Vehicle is brilliant.....Keeping.with NZ, Chills.....Submarine Bells....another beauty....
What a magical time 1981 was, the clean were on high rotations at Francis Douglas college, Rip Mr Kilgour
Such an amazing time for nz guitar music. So far ahead. The world was 5 years behind.
imo pretty ahead of their time when they made this. still sounds fresh today
Spot on Brett...Brilliant sound from NZ...
Fuck yes!
Sounds a ton like Courtney Barnett
Reminds me of The Rolling Stones, and that's not a bad thing.
Sounds like something you would hear from Skegss
Fantastic early Flying Nun. Superb.
....my favorite sound....THE CLEAN is awesome!
Jessie, my genius. pl34$3 $t0p
RIP Hamish Kilgour you will be missed
Harmless death it's worse way worse than imran and nothing to do with moose I'll keep telling you unless you do something about it 🐴
Thank you Hamish
RIP. What a joy to discover your band and this song during covid-19 march 2020 period, forever in my memory.
Thank you Cali Andy we miss you at work bruh you are always welcome back OG
The Gordons should always be remembered as a great band as well
Yes
Future Shock is a fucking TRACK
Christchurch sound at the Star n Garter
I still love them :) my hometown
New Zealand, you have been keeping this band to yourselves.
my house in los angeles in fact the flying nun comp in love with these times is absolutely brilliant
could've been the worst thing for them 🤠
This never fails to cheer me up
best song i have ever heard bar none
Hi praise indeed, Sir Elton.
Better than candle in the wind?
Wow, Robert Scott looks so young.... this is fabulous! ♡ The Clean
RIP Martin
Your genius will be missed now and forever 💔
bloody brilliant
oh to be young and slim again...
Bloody luvverly song, always enjoyed...ka pai fellas...
Thank you! Hamish Kilgour🥁
Just discovered these wonderful band!
RIP Hamish, devastated I never got to see you play live
greatness
i was 13 when this song came out, it is New Zealand music folklore.

wicked 🤘
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I do have to thank Pavement for mentioning this band or I would never have had the oppertunity to listen to these guys.
I'm not surprised they were inspired by them.
Heard this for the 1st time on a great episode of "People Of Earth", a fantastic show that was cancelled before it should've been!
Just takes you to another place , love it
I'm addicted .
...and everybody's changed
It’s criminal these guys aren’t widely considered among NZ’s best bands. They’ve only got a cult following here now.
The Clean and the Chills....Right at the top in my book....Vehicle ....A brilliant album.
Just discovered them. Can I join the cult?

Something happened in the mid-late 90s, the public taste got much worse in NZ

For you to say it's happening is impossible
Awesome track, i just fucking love it. Still fresh, still true and still driving me crazy. Love you mtfs!!
RIP Hamish.
simple but simply brilliant.
Timeless
Masterpiece .
And thank you .
RIP
I love this song
So good, big luv
Why do I keep forgetting this band's name and then randomly finding them and falling in love with them again..arghhhh
Want to thank Spotify Weekly Discovery playlist for bringing this track into my life. Fucking excellent.
Saw these guys open for Yo La Tengo about five years ago. Awesome surprise as an opener
Same thing for me, mate. Totally a game changer for me!!!
Alan Meals they were The Great Unwashed,became the clean.Im an 80s Kiwi,,look up Flying Nun Records,or The Dunedin Sound.
You need a holiday in New Zealand.
Actually they were The Clean first, then Great Unwashed, and now The Clean again ;-)
Quite possibly nzs greatest band.
💚🐍
I feel so bad for thinking this was a deep cut or b-side from the Stones for so long
severely underrated band
I learned of them in a podcast decades latter and in California I'm enjoying them
What podcast was it?
If this band was more well known they would have been huge
Masterpiece. What an absolute unit of a band. Great scene. Everything those guys touched was worth hearing.
great song, loved this band so much
Shoulda been a top 40 hit in the uk
This is from 1981? Holds up remarkably well.
best band ever
Unreal. I just had a hankering to disappear down the flying nun rabbithole for kicks. Had no idea Hamish had passed away. Very sad. Safe travels man..............
God save the clean ❤
This song/video is pure class and song of gold!
This was really advanced to his era it sounds like indie rock from the 10's
relateble both, events and songs
Watching Red Oaks on Amazon. Hear this and it's so good. Big Mats fan and have never heard of The Clean. Wow.
Good old "Flying Nun" band. Superb.
How could anyone give this a thumbs down?
Love this band!!
Saw them live at the Gladstone Hotel, Christchurch back in the day. Get pissed and jump about. Great times
❤
