r. , ’ GLASGOW
- Top Five Fave Haves chosen by Tam
TURNTABLE
A
Coyle oi Glasgow's Hypnotonic Soundtrack.
1. Temptation: New Order (greatest song lrom Britain's greatest band. Also released two of the best album oi the 80s in ‘Power Corruption and Lies' and ‘Technique’).
2. White Lines: Grandmaster Flash
(still as relevant today, perhaps more so, than when it was released. It still mystilles me why drugs are seen as glamorous in certain circles).
3. 1 Feel Love: Donna Summer (probably the most obvious selection lrom her work with Giorgio Moroder. However classics were what I was to list, and this track certainly qualities as that).
4. Pull Up To The Bumper: Grace Jones (so many memories 01 Bennets when I started clubbing in the early 80s - Roxy Music, Bowie, Divine, and at course Grace ‘Sock It To Me’ Jones).
5. Homosapien: Pete Shelley (Classic track from Maestros in the early 80s, along with any James Brown, “Follow
- the Leader' by Killing Joke, ‘Bela
Lugosi’ by Bauhaus, ‘Tainted Love’ by
Soit Cell. Maybe I’m getting nostalgic, but to my mind no present-day club has the atmosphere that Maestros had).
reportedly v busy. playing the usual obscure and fashionable house and techno. with ‘all kinds‘ ofother musictoo. they tell me.
I Burnout at Rooftops. 11pm—late. £2.50. Sadly economies rule out any more bands in the foreseeable future. but a heavy Manc influence in the playlist to compensate.

I Detect at Fury Murrys. 11pm-Sam. £3. Good. solid selection of dance music with the odd eclcticism like The Buzzcocks and The Undertones.
I Divine at the Art School. 11pm—2am.
£1 .50. The groovy beat of the love decade. psychedelia and indie-pop.

I Helter Skelter at the Mayfair. 10.30pm--3.30am. £2. The Skelters are planning a few Christmas extravaganzas in the forthcoming weeks. which raises the bizarre prospect of its goths and rockers in full festive clobbcr - all black with tinsel round their necks?
