    Hi Skamanc, Dave Sez here (who helped you out on the Stranglers a while back). Great to see you keeping Marky Dread's posts alive - I have done likewise, indexing all his Magazine posts and many many more into a Magazine mega-post of everything I could find, posted here:

    http://knowyourconjurer.blogspot.com/2010/10/magazine-megapost-by-dave-sez-go-get.html

    Keep the Magazine coming, and the more, the merrier, can't wait to see if you've found something I haven't! Cheers, Dave Sez.

    I passed by St Pauli's ground whlie going to see City play Hamburg back in 2002.

    Thanks for all the comments lads. Thanks for the Magazine megapost URL Dave - much appreciated. I didn't realise that there was so much stuff out there. Apart from the Lynn gig I had the Circus live tracks & the Peel Sessions (in addition to the regular / official releases).

    Thanks Pauli - glad you've been introduced to the work of Devoto. Makes the blog worthwhile when I get just one comment like that !

    hi martin,
    the champions league is just a dream. after a long time ST Pauli are back in the 1.bundesliga. at the moment they play o.k. but the season is long and at the end ...
    2020/2040 CL - oh yeah !!!
    german hip hop - i don`t like it too. die ärzte are very famous in germany, his drummer bela b is cool.
    BUT british punk is the real thing and so the german bands not my type of Punk. Your land has all the hero`s - we have just the(lausy) copy`s
    ok mein freund have a nice day

    Hi Skamanc, if you head over to the comments on my Magazine megapost mentioned above, you'll find something to tickle both your fancies - could you believe two videos of great 1966 mod music from Manchester with Dave "Formula" Tomlinson on Hammond organ? If you'd like the three singles the group did, just ask for them in the comments over there! Cheers, Dave Sez.
