    What lousey timeing, Poly. I wish you would have stuck around a bit longer. At least long enough to enjoy the positive reaction to this new album. And maybe played a few gigs too. Much love to your eternal spirit.

      I don't really see what her skin tone has to do with it. There have been many performers goin back to the earliest years of the twentieth century who were women and whose tone of skin may have been considered different. Billy Holiday, Eartha Kitt, Diana Ross, Jean Terrell, Mary Wilson, all of the Ronettes. In the UK alone we have Shirley Bassey, Cleo Laine, Joan Armatrading, Janet Kay, Pauline Black, Sade, Mel and Kim... indeed, the greatest level of diversity has always been found in music. Talent will always stand loud n' proud.

      @colddaze6680 8 месяцев назад +1

      ​@@JohnSmith-su3ze...Jesus Christ.. no ones racist here... Its fucking obvious... the o.p comment was just stating a fact.. She was the first and most well known woman of colour in punk rock. Thats just a fact. Clearly stated as a positive fact.
      Same as Death from Detroit was the first all African American proto punk band, Pure Hell , first all black American punk rock band before Bad Brains. Who were the first all African American hardcore punk band.
      Just facts. Nothing derogatory or racist about stating those facts .
      If you watch Polystyrene: I am a cliche documentary, she wrote poetry and lyrics about being half caste , or black. Again just the facts. Being a woman of colour, or half caste was just her life experience and she wrote about it, and how that affected her in British society or where ever. Factual observation, about herself and her life , as opposed to racist slurs... you see the difference yeah.?

    Bought the cd a couple of days ago and this is the best album of 2011, so far, in my opinion. This actually has shades of x ray specs, with the saxaphone in several songs. brilliant

  • @bowerydoll
    @bowerydoll 13 лет назад +6

    So looking forward to this album -- and I do mean actually buying it, holding it my hands, reading the lyric sheet. I came up in the 70's and 80's wave of punk, reggae, no-wave, noise, post-punk and all the other great "revolutionary" stuff that was coming out back then. For a mixed girl like me from Chicago, Poly was more than an inspiration in the 70's. She inspired me to sew my own punk clothes and question the pop culture around me and be a proud woman of color. Stay strong Poly! x0x0x

    So chronically tragic and immediate that she died not long after the interview. Always such an iconic person. Her vocals and tremendous lyrics in the viaduct of lost anarchy, yet she gave so much more than just beautiful angst, but a sense of real belonging to what was and still is an unsettled generation.

    POLY STYRENE! I loved ‘ Germ-Free Adolescents’, the X-ray Spex singles, loved how she did ‘Translucence’ after that and ‘Gods and Godesses’. Weird how she came back with ‘Conscious consumer’ with Laura. Never heard ‘Paper aeroplanes’! I hope ‘G&G’ and ‘PA’ will get a re-release someday, when the documentary is done (is it on the way now?). People often talk about Bowie’s last album, when he was dying, but ‘Generation Indigo’ is even more special, as Poly hadn’t done music in so many years. She’s such a beautiful and gentle woman here, such sense of style! It’s unbelievably sad that this is a mere month, or a few, before she passed away. She did good to make this great pop record. We should take solace that she had this ‘pleasurable experience’,
    with her daughter around her, before she burnt out. She’s still the greatest …

    Rest In Peace, my sweet God-Sister, Maharani,!
    Marianne Elliott-Said, or Maharani, aka Poly Styrene, was a sweet Soul, whose Friendship I am still missing, as she loved my Music and was always supportive and affectionate to me, both as a spiritual Being, and as an Artist...
    She and I knew each other well, since we first met in Soho Street, and soon after, we each received Initiation from the same Spiritual Master, Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja...
    Sadly, one day when she had been run over by a Fire Truck, I visited her in Hospital, where I gifted her one of my sold-out Albums, with Ambient Meditation Music...
    One fine Day, she came by, when I was working in Sound Disc Studio, North London, remixing my Songs with the kind help of another dear old Friend, and former Sound Engineer of The Clash, Michael Abbott, working as my Co-Producer.
    I was pleasantly surprised that she came to pay us a Visit, as I had asked her to sing on one of my Songs, which unfortunately never happened...
    Of course, as this Studio was run by another couple of old Friends, Pete Bullick and his Partner, Debbie Bonham (Sister of the late and great Led Zeppelin-Drummer, John Bonham) we all got on great; especially as we had each played a vital Part in the Formation of the early Punk Movement.
    We had expressed our dismay about modern Society's mad Materialism, before Punk got commercialized, and sold-out on King's Road, which I had personally witnessed, back in 1982, when I first flew to London, coming from Copenhagen, where I was also known as a Punk Rock Star...
    R.I.P. Maharani! I love you dearly!

      Deborah Bonham didn't start recording until 1985 and nothing she did was anything like punk.

Its funny how certain icons die of cancer (in know its everywhere but) when they look for spiritual guidance or enlighten themselfs like Bob marley, poly styrene, Adam "mca" yauch (beastie boy), because my instinct tells me you have to set yourself on fire🔥 (not literally🙄🤣), like it's inside, but knowledge up and wise up on the way.
