Comment voir qu'on vieillit ?
Nos idoles disparaissent... David Johansen, chanteur excentrique du non moins excentrique groupes "The New-York Dolls" et Brian James, talentueux bassiste de "The Damned" et compositeur des premiers morceaux du groupe (Les meilleurs) dont "Neat neat neat" sont décédés dans les derniers jours.
Merde.

Damned guitarist Brian James has broken his last string, as we all will (either through age, illness, violence, misadventure or neglect). Their debut LP ("Damned Damned Damned") remains thee perfect Saturday Morning Record for me, and it’s all his songs from beginning to end (apart from the “1969” cover, of course). I know little of the man’s personal life but got to be friends with that buzzy bandsaw guitar, the mangled solos, the sense of wild abandon and velocity. Neat neat neat. #BrianJames #KilledByDeath #Punk #PunkRock #TheDamned

I didn't particularly like the Damned - I saw them a couple of times are the Roundhouse and was a bit meh.

But I thought Tanz Der Youth - a band formed by the late Brian James and Alan Powell, who'd been in Hawkwind, were brilliant.

I think they only released one single (maybe EP) - which I must have somewhere - backing "I'm Sorry" with "Delay".

Both on this session from the Peel Show.
