    Painfully brilliant. They actually dropped _down_ the charts after this appearance, oh dear. Devoto didn't care for theatrics, leave that to The Boomtown Rats or somebody. Thing was, when they did play live he was absolutely mesmerising but I guess he just didn't feel like miming. Ironic, seeing as he got compared with Marcel bloody Marceau after this in the press (by Paul Morley anyhow) thanks to the white face-paint he requested from BBC makeup. So yeah, down a mine shaft went this maginificent debut which pisses all over New Rose, White Riot, In The City et al if you ask me.

      Typical BBC approach to chart music. Even now they talk all over intros and cut songs up if they have instrumental parts. It's like they think people will be terrified if a song isn't just wall-to-wall singing.

    I am here because last week I saw Radio Birdman (very infamous and influential Australian band) do one of their farewell (?) 50th anniversary shows. They did this song as cover in their encore - super surprised as they are more Detroit 60/70s style band.
    It rocked !! And the original still sounds awesome today

  • @softlystroll
    @softlystroll 5 лет назад +4

    Great song bludgeoned in its midriff, but sadly the segment we do get to see doesn't do the song justice anyway. Devoto unfortunately bottles it somewhat and the song becomes a rare example of a TOTP performance sending the song tumbling back DOWN the charts. There's a good description of Magazine's career in Simon Reynolds' 'Rip it Up and Start Again' and in the meantime I'd recommend tracking down the original 7" with the black and white 'imp' cover. The card sleeve pressing is rarer.

      Devoto asked the BBC makeup girl to put him in whiteface and she screwed it up pretty spectacularly. Incidentally he also stood around doing almost nothing because he hated the idea of lip syncing to his own music as TOTP made all singers at this time agree to do, and further hated having to oblige them by pretending he was enjoying it-- hence why he's not exactly giving off rockstar level charisma here (and why his lip syncing is off). It backfired on him as the song bombed down the charts after this performance.
