- Parrish is dancing, his feet are a bIur
Comes to a standstill,
I ask him a question
He doesn't hear
Wurlitzer jukebox
Fingers are pointed in my direction
Words fly around me,
everyone's chanting

I roadied for them in 1980 on their short tour of Scotland. Not much lifting involved, however. Nice people.
‘Colossal Youth’ is on my desert island discs list. A singular work of genius.
That bassline is off the chain!
this was recorded at the BBC Studios in Llandaff, Cardiff. The Damned also played in the studio and on the show. I know as I was in the audience.
Welcome back to RetroCountdown. Our single of the week is a double A side by post punk trio Young Marble Giants from Wales. "Wurlitzer jukebox" and Brand new life". This band is fantastic and deserve a go. The album these 2 songs came off is generally regarded as one of the best of 1980. They only put out 1 album. We like giving artists a go who normally wouldn't get it but deserve it, here on RetroCountdown. This 45 will be available from tomorrow for the special price of $1.50.
Day 6957. 3 x 3 x 733. Raw honey and all of my urine til 3.15pm then dried figs and sprouts and black grapes then more urine then fresh fruit and vegetables and other foods at 7.30pm. No change.
Simply brilliant, you can wallow in memories.. what a unique voice
"Colossal Youth’ is the epitome of unique.
It is totally far out and cosmic.
1980 was a very special year for music.
Most of it is still more futuristic than anything released since 1980.
If you understand that then you are my type of person.
"Music be all"
"Music be everything"
Yep, I know what you are saying
Punk is a beautiful thing
It ain't punk
Stuart Moxham hated punk
@@zorbanongrecoas punk, & as important/influential as Ramones debut
Indeed, everyone ignore zorbanongreco, as he know nothing. This is punk with a capital p, doing your own thing, not giving a sh*t what anyone thinks,, standing out from the crowd.
You can't go more punk than this
Toujours un OVNI 40 ans après ! La musique réduite à sa plus simple expression, un chef d'œuvre intemporel.
So beautiful musicians they were !
I must say, I fell in love immediately.
Same
Same
Miss u Susan Baynton!!!
Great Bass playing.
I can’t believe I haven’t seen this before. Colossal Youth is my favorite record, has been since I first “discovered” it, in 1992. Thank you for sharing this clip.
Those who remain undefined, pasted on your memory wall; eternal and forever. Heros I give unto you.
This song was probably a #1 hit single in another universe.
I heard Younf Marvle Giants single “Final Day” on KALX in the mid ‘80’s and bought it and their 1980 album “Colossal Youth” while I was still a teenager, and in the decades since I’ve never met another fan, which saddens me.
Saw them at Futurama 2,magical.
You on the wrong continent! Having said that I've not met many!
Saw them at the Clarendon Hotel in Hammersmith in about 1980. Very stylish audience for what I assumed was a very DIY type band. Great gig. Hotel sadly demolished and replaced with a shopping centre not long after.
Cobain brings me here
Can remember exactly where I was when I first heard them.
I absolutely love Salad Days and I'm not even sure why.
Mesmerizing
i don't know how anyone would find this today? but it is a beautifully sad truth of how good YMG were & what rough trade meant to do and achieve. I hope anyone under 30 will fijnd thier way somehow to this
I'm 33, does that count? I love all things punk/new wave from the late 70's. Great group!
hi my friend made singles around the same time called the filmcast and was asked by young marble giants to tour together its been 34 years but he may be ready now!
Watching the audience, I noticed that although you can't really dance to YMG, you can definitely sway to them.
I was dancing as I read your post. Iol
(Ok. I was jumping on the spot. That passed as dancing when I was a kid)
DIY Kings! ...and 1 Queen ofv
🎼 Lá vem os jovens gigantes de mármore 🎼
i was 0 when this came out, im 31 now
a poet-scholar brought me here.
lady algorhythm: please send all of these ymg nuggets my way
young marble giants Waaaaa☆☆☆☆☆☆°•~~~~~¿
anyone know the BBC programme this was taken from? wondering whether its a standalone concert or one of those period archive collections. thanks
As mentioned above, BBC's Something Else, which was a youth arts prog from the late 70's. They also performed N.I.T.A... and maybe Colossal Youth.
Great tone... Marshall stack?
Where does the beat come from?
I think they used tapes with pre-recorded drumtracks. A friend of them made a drummachine following schematics in a DIY-magazine. Pretty unique and minimal sound
ils me font penser au velvet underground
One arse.
Why can’t they tune their guitars
Smart observation. Probably they didn't have a tuner at hand, that must be it.
@@monsieurbotibol I think it’s more intonation problems, poorly set up guitars. The open strings are in tune but not the fretted notes.
@@5urg3x maybe they were just poor (and punks kids) and they played with what they have, that's another possibility.
@@monsieurbotibol They were getting paid for gigs...and some pretty big ones. Maybe they just did it to be "punk" and that was the style...but damn man...as interesting and good as these songs are it really stings to hear the parts that are out of tune, lol.
Sounds good to me .
ditch the singer n maybe
